Dr Karl On The Electric Car Fire Myth, Plus Iran, UK Politics and Truckie Tuesday

from Bonafide with Luke Bona · host Luke Bona

This week on Bonafide: Dr Karl joins Luke to bust the biggest myth in the electric-vs-petrol car debate, walks through why nuclear reactors have to be abandoned after about 50 years, and explains why coal ash is radioactive. Sky News' Jonathan Kearsley checks in on the escalating Iran/US conflict and the flow-on risk to petrol prices here, and Channel 7's Ben Downie breaks down Britain's fifth Prime Minister in five years, Andy Burnham, and what's left of Brexit's promise. Plus a listener's own housing crisis, a very silly debate about chicken salt, and Truckie Tuesday with Rod Hannifey and regular co-host Belinda Hughes — dash-cam law, demerit-point myths across the states, and a sobering discussion of a fatal crash on the Hume Highway alongside the road-safety-investigation case it raises.⚠ This episode includes discussion of a fatal traffic incident and an active international military conflict.
