If you heard Tuesday's full episode, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. Rod Hannifey makes his case that automatic gearboxes took the skill out of driving a truck, and says he'll argue it with anyone. Luke and Rod also read your comments on truck stop showers, and Luke finds a pub at Merriwagga that leaves its shower open for truckies after hours. Can an officer take your phone if your electronic work diary is on it? Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law says strictly speaking they can, but only in specific circumstances. Then it's false or misleading entries, what to say when you're pulled over, and Darren Cooke's appeal to get his licence back. Belinda is acting for Darren, and Hughes Law sponsors Truckie Tuesday. On the road, a driver went to pass a heavy haulage float on the approach to a blind corner, and Rod called him up on the UHF afterwards for a quiet word.

If you heard our full episode on 9 October, you have already had this one. This is the Man Cave with Dr Graham Wild on its own, for anyone who just wants the space talk. Adam McDonald from Aussie Pickers still isn't convinced we went to the Moon, and the Van Allen radiation belts are his sticking point. So Luke brings in Dr Graham Wild, a senior lecturer in aviation science and technology at UNSW Canberra, to take him on. Graham explains why NASA lost so much of its Apollo know-how, why nobody has landed there since 1972, and how a camera filmed Neil Armstrong's first step. Before that, he busts a Hollywood myth: a small hole in a plane won't suck you out. Plus air marshals, the Jetsons flying car we never got, and the G.I. Joe jet from Graham's childhood.

If you heard our full episode on 9 October, you have already had this one. This is Luke's chat with Jim Penman on its own, for anyone who just wants Jim. When nobody would back his ideas as an academic, Jim went back to mowing lawns full-time, about $35,000 in debt, he says, and by his own account terrible at managing his first subcontractors. He tells Luke how he turned it around, from selling lawn rounds to ringing the big Adelaide franchise and being told no thanks, and why he drew up a contract he wouldn't mind signing as a franchisee. Jim also explains the $700 contract fee he could have set far higher, why the business was his way of paying for his research into why civilisations rise and fall, and the argument in his new book with Andrea Pearson, Birth-Rate Crisis. Plus pass the parcel, cold showers, and why he doesn't expect to win Northcote at the Victorian election.

If you heard Tuesday's full episode, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. A driver tells Rod Hannifey he was refused a shower at a truck stop because he hadn't bought fuel, even after offering to buy food. Rod knows of only one truck stop with showers on his run to Adelaide, and he found a key-tag block he couldn't use because he doesn't cart livestock. Luke and Rod work through your mail, from radiator fixes with a raw egg or pepper to why caravans on the Nullarbor should leave gaps and show their UHF channel front and back. There's also a question for next week about EWD phones in compliance mode. Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law updates Danny's case, and her win of the week is an appeal she says cut a Transport for NSW registration suspension after a tunnel incident.

If you heard our full episode on 2 October, you have already had this one. This is Luke's chat with Nick on its own, for anyone who just wants the prison stories. Nick was a NSW prison officer for 15 years, at Lithgow and at the women's jail at Emu Plains. In B unit, he watched an inmate crack the perspex with a pool ball, and he tells Luke why he says three months of training was mostly about paperwork. He explains why officers walk the yard unarmed and why he says they couldn't properly search visitors' prams. Then there's the inmate who threatened his family. Nick's view is that most prisoners don't want to be rehabilitated. The ones who do, like the woman who left jail a qualified chef, get there because they want the help, he says. This interview contains strong language. It discusses sexual assault in prison, domestic violence and the death of a prison officer. 1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732 (24/7) Lifeline: 13 11 14 (24/7) In an emergency, call 000. 00:00 Should prisoners get a second chance? 01:46 Why the inmates called Nick Chief 02:45 Why he swapped his own business for a prison job 04:45 Trapped in B unit when the perspex cracked 07:14 Three months of training, signed off on paper 08:02 The officer who died at Silverwater 09:00 Double shifts and big overtime 10:31 His sister, assaulted at Parramatta Gaol 11:06 Unarmed in a yard of 30 inmates 13:40 Why officers couldn't search prams 14:48 Who really controls a jail? 16:22 Case management with no training 17:45 The inmates who care for injured wildlife 18:53 Should prisoners be paid $25 an hour? 19:30 The kiss that smuggled drugs into Lithgow 21:35 Corrupt officers: blue, not green 22:22 Why lifers are the easiest to manage 23:53 Why he'd rather work with maximum security men 25:10 What men fear most about going to jail 26:26 The inmate who walked out a chef 28:12 Knives in the kitchen and a Shawshank moment 29:55 Why are Indigenous Australians over-represented? 32:21 Do prisoners want to be rehabilitated? 34:08 The inmate who threatened his family 36:32 Seen as weak, or called a dog 38:30 The prisoners who come back for the security 40:16 Should prisoners have to work? 41:29 Get out of the job or I'm divorcing you 🫶 Join The Bonafide Family Get Your Bonafide Merch here: https://bonafidepod.com/en-aud Follow Me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LukeBonaThatRadioGuy/ Catch Up On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukey.bona/ Subscribe to us on YouTube to stay updated with LIVE SHOWS: 🎙️ Get Involved Leave us a digital voicemail here: https://www.speakpipe.com/Bonafide Call the Bonafide Hotline to leave a voicemail: (02) 9128 9311 Want to be a guest or suggest a topic?

Our first live show. Nick, a former NSW prison officer, comes back for part two and takes Luke through a first-timer's day in prison, from the strip search to the cellmate you don't get to choose. He also explains how new inmates get pushed into carrying contraband for someone else, and how they can say no. Rob McKnight from McKnight Tonight reviews the calls he made in September about Nine's Today show and The Voice, and talks about 4BH's rise in Brisbane and Sam Armytage's run-in with Michael Usher's son. David Littleproud, in a chat recorded before the show, takes on the card surcharge ban and the trust tax, and says drivers who don't own an EV shouldn't help pay for new chargers. In the Man Cave, Adam McDonald turns 50 and Granny Sue calls from Yorkeys Knob to back a seventh state for North Queensland. They also argue about a Tasmanian school taking Christmas out of the name of its end-of-year raffle, and whether an Australian astronaut is worth $100 million.

Shark fisherman Joel Nancarrow says the great white that killed a swimmer at Sorrento Beach in Perth should have been hunted down. Adam McDonald's view is that it's the risk you take when you swim, and the Man Cave gets heated. Then Luke asks about dangerous dogs, and Adam comes round, as long as it's the right shark. Joel runs Hunter Shark Jaw Restoration in Newcastle. He explains how a jaw is restored, why he buys jaws from commercial fishermen rather than selling what he catches, and why every bull shark he lands dies. A bite-resistant wetsuit surprised him more than anything else he's tested, though he says nothing would stop a shark the size of the one at Sorrento. Joel's views on shark numbers and behaviour are his own, from years on the water. Some of them aren't backed by published research. Joel's first interview with Luke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsX3Aq_UYqs Should a shark that attacks someone be hunted down? Tell us what you think in the comments.

If you heard our full episode on 2 October, you have already had this one. This is Luke's chat with Shane Oliver on its own, for anyone who just wants the money talk. The Reserve Bank lifted the cash rate to 4.60% on 29 September, and AMP chief economist Shane Oliver says that if he had to single out one cause, it's too much government spending. It now makes up about 28% of the economy, and he explains why cutting it would spread the pain beyond people with a mortgage, and which projects could wait a few years. Luke asks who Australia owes its $1 trillion debt to, and who collects the interest. Then Shane weighs up One Nation's plan to let renters and mortgage holders take 3 of the 12 percentage points of their employer super as cash for three years. He thinks the real problem is that housing costs too much, and he has advice for young buyers in a falling market. Last question: will rates go up again before Christmas? Guests: Shane Oliver Recorded 30 September 2026, the day after the Reserve Bank lifted the cash rate to 4.60%.

If you heard Tuesday's full episode, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. Kylie Robinson missed the weighbridge near Willow Tree and rang the NHVR to report it herself. She was still fined $800. Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law is acting for her for free and taking it to court. Hughes Law sponsors Truckie Tuesday. The NHVR told Big Rigs that her call counted in her favour but didn't undo the missed entry. Belinda also answers your work diary questions, including whether a spelling mistake can get you fined. Rod Hannifey and Luke take on speed camera revenue and NatRoad's call to cut the road user charge to zero. Rod's rant is about three dangerous overtakes in one hour.

David Shoebridge, in his first chat with Luke as Greens leader, makes the case for forcing the sale of 200 Coles and Woolworths stores and running about 600 public supermarkets. Scotty Phillips from The Motley Fool calls it populism, then explains why he thinks cutting temporary visas misses the point and why some cafes put up the price of a coffee after the surcharge ban. Jessica Wang from The Daily Telegraph covers the Greens leadership fight, One Nation in Victoria and the flydubai co-pilot. On Truckie Tuesday, Rod Hannifey takes on speed camera revenue and dangerous overtaking, and Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law answers your work diary questions and talks about Kylie Robinson's $800 weighbridge fine. Hughes Law, which sponsors Truckie Tuesday, is acting for her for free. Luke and Kelsey also get into Christa Pike's failed execution, AI agents that cheated their own test and a mozzie laser.

If you heard the full episode on Tuesday 6 October, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. Rod Hannifey is home in Dubbo, so Luke has him on screen for the fuel news. China has suspended its October fuel exports and the G7 has agreed to release up to 100 million barrels from reserves. Rod says people filling a car for the shops don't see the difference when a truck burns 1,000 litres a day. Luke has the rules taking trucks off Stoney Creek Road from 2027, and Rod has a warning for anyone who sits beside a truck's left door. Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law gives her view of NHVR chief executive Nicole Rosie's day in Rod's truck: credit for doing a full shift, and two points she disagrees with. She tells the story of a client, with his consent, whose company was grounded for 12 weeks. Her win of the week is a driver who was facing 37 charges over his work diaries and, by her count, about $185,000 in fines. He walked away with $3,000 in fines. Then the daylight saving question, and Jono's Truckie Tuesday anthem.

Jim Penman tells Luke how a rival knocked him back when he asked to join, why he charges franchisees $700 for a contract when he says $5,000 is normal, and why, he says, Jim's Group can't be sold without most franchisees' consent. His new book with Andrea Pearson, Birth-Rate Crisis, blames too much dopamine for Australia's falling birth rate. Kelsey isn't convinced. Mark Beretta calls in on the drive to Bathurst with stories from Mount Panorama and a look at Sunday's race, plus his new Seven series, Ports to Paradise. In the Man Cave, Dr Graham Wild from UNSW Canberra talks about the flydubai cockpit attack and air marshals, then takes on Adam McDonald's doubts about the moon landing. Luke and Kelsey also get into Christa Pike's failed execution, jet ski footage from the Gold Coast and Woolworths' bachelor's handbag.

Is your car listening to you? James Ward from Drive says some cars do send voice and driving data back to the maker, and explains why no government cares about your everyday chat but you still shouldn't talk secrets in any new car. He also has the case for a pre-purchase inspection, and why V8s are holding their value. David Littleproud joins from Horsham on the rate rise, the backpacker visa cut and the OpenAI breach of a Medicare data portal. Former NSW detective Dr Vince Hurley says the gangs behind this wave of violence pay brokers to find someone else to do the job, and that cutting the tobacco excise wouldn't stop them. Plus, Dave Fuller from God's Squad explains how a Christian motorcycle club earned a place in outlaw clubhouses. On Truckie Tuesday, Rod Hannifey is home in Dubbo talking fuel and Stoney Creek Road, and he has a warning for anyone who sits beside a truck's left door.

Nick rang Luke on 2GB after a chat about second chances, and he had 15 years of stories. As a NSW prison officer at Lithgow and at the women's jail at Emu Plains, Nick saw the perspex crack in a riot and had an inmate tell him she knew where his family lived. His view is that most prisoners don't want to be rehabilitated. Some of his own stories, like the woman who left jail a qualified chef, point the other way. AMP chief economist Shane Oliver blames government spending for the Reserve Bank's rise to 4.60%, but he doesn't expect another rise before Christmas. In the Man Cave, shark fisherman Joel Nancarrow and Adam McDonald fall out over culling after the fatal attack at Sorrento Beach. Luke's dangerous dog question changes the argument. Adam also brings in a first generation Humphrey B. Bear. Thomas fills in for Kelsey, plus David Shoebridge as Greens leader. Guests: Nick, Shane Oliver, Joel Nancarrow, Adam McDonald This episode contains strong language.

Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. NHVR chief executive Nicole Rosie spent a day in Rod Hannifey's truck out of Dubbo, and Rod had a list of about 32 questions waiting. Back on Truckie Tuesday she answers the one drivers ask most: is the regulator out to get them? She says education with drivers is up, and that the hard end of enforcement is for repeat, high-risk operators with years of breaches, some of them on their fourteenth letter. Not mudguards. Rod still thinks the fines are too high for anything that isn't a safety breach. She also covers sham contracting and why an EWD on its own won't solve fatigue. If trucking wants more women behind the wheel, she says the first fix is toilets and showers. Before that, Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law on whether to pay a ticket, fight it or ask for a review. Angus wins Where's Rodney. To ask the NHVR to review one of its fines, email Prosecutions.Support@nhvr.gov.au and allow 42 days.

Greens Senator David Shoebridge calls the revolving door between Defence and the weapons industry obscene, and says he'd tear down the walls that keep the public out.

Victoria wants minimum-security prisoners working on its roads. Kerry Tucker spent her sentence in the state's maximum-security women's prison untangling airline headphones and sanding chairs in a hot shed, and she tells Luke what work inside should actually be for: getting a woman ready to live next door to you when she gets out, not just filling in her day. She makes the case for education, explains why short sentences leave women serving long terms waiting years for programs, and says building more beds is the lazy fix. Kerry also goes back to the $1.9 million she took from her employer, the spin class where she was arrested, a month in the police cells with women she had once judged, and the night before her release, when she asked if she could stay. In the Man Cave, Professor Toby Walsh from UNSW Sydney explains what an AI agent is and why we can't simply pull the plug. Tom Denham is in the chair for the news, from Trump's superintelligence line at the UN to smart glasses at the pool and a runaway emu at Nashdale. CONTENT WARNING: this episode discusses prison, drug addiction, deaths in custody from overdose and suicide, and a mental health diagnosis.
