Should AI Glasses Be Banned? Plus, Matt Canavan & ACFS Collapses

from Bonafide with Luke Bona · host Luke Bona

Kmart's $89 "Anko" AI glasses have sold out amid a growing privacy backlash, and this week Bonafide digs into it from two angles. Greens Senator David Shoebridge tells Luke why the glasses could be referred to the Attorney-General, then makes an unexpectedly passionate case for properly resourcing Australia's under-pressure air traffic controllers. Tech commentator Trevor Long joins wearing his own Meta Ray-Bans on air and cuts through the panic with one blunt question: are we banning cameras, or are we banning photography itself?Plus: Matt Canavan, Leader of the National Party, on the ABC's apology to Gina Rinehart, whether the Coalition could ever work with Pauline Hanson's One Nation, the case for defunding the ABC, and a first-home-buyer loophole nobody saw coming. Then it's Truckie Tuesday 132 — Rod Hannifey on braking distance and the U-turns that kill, and Belinda Hughes with this week's Legal Win.Guests: Matt Canavan (Leader, National Party of Australia) · David Shoebridge (Greens Senator for NSW) · Trevor Long (technology commentator) · Rod Hannifey (Truckie Tuesday co-host) · Belinda Hughes (Principal, Hughes Law)(00:00) Cold open & welcome(04:39) The Albanese "melon" fallout(06:12) John Hopoate's driving charge & NRL history(10:04) The WNBA transgender-inclusion debate(19:31) Listener mail(26:12) Matt Canavan: One Nation, Pauline Hanson & the Coalition(31:08) The ABC apologises to Gina Rinehart(34:46) A comedian twerks to the Last Post(42:08) David Shoebridge: smart glasses, privacy & air traffic control(65:05) Trevor Long on the Kmart "Anko" glasses backlash(84:14) Truckie Tuesday 132: braking distance & U-turn safety(119:36) Belinda Hughes: Legal Win of the Week(125:21) Rod's own licence disputeNo censors.
