Bonafide with Luke Bona

This week on Truckie Tuesday, lawyer Belinda Hughes officially, sitting down with Luke Bona and Rod Hannifey to unpack a big regulatory shift landing on 1 August: the Heavy Vehicle National Law's new "unfit to drive" duty, what it actually covers, and why a sore toe at a roadside stop won't be enough to get anyone pulled off the road. They also bust a persistent myth about misspelled work diaries getting truckies fined, and Belinda kicks off her new weekly segment, Legal Win of the Week, with a story about the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator dragging a $411 ticket all the way to court — and losing.Plus: a dash cam catches a car deliberately brake-checking a truck, a listener asks why his demerit points weren't reinstated after he beat his ticket in court, a trucker-turned-nursing-student writes in with a hard letter about industry standards, and Rod and Belinda talk through a fatal crash on the Hume Highway near Goulburn and what a proper accident investigation could change.Guests: Rod Hannifey (Truckie Tuesday co-host, National Road Freighters Association) · Belinda Hughes (Principal, Hughes Law — Truckie Tuesday's new resident lawyer)⚠ This episode discusses a fatal truck crash on the Hume Highway.Support: Griefline 1300 845 745 (Mon–Fri 9am–6pm, Sat–Sun 12pm–6pm AEST/AEDT) · Lifeline 13 11 14 (24/7)(00:00) GME Sponsor Open & Intro(00:50) Belinda Hughes Joins As A Permanent Co-Host(02:21) Truck Blind-Spot Awareness(06:42) Dash Cams, Brake-Checking And Insurance(10:46) A Listener's Demerit-Points Dispute(13:19) A Trucker's Letter On Industry Standards(19:40) The New "Unfit To Drive" Duty And Mental Health(24:51) The Fatal Hume Highway Crash Near Goulburn(28:26) Busting The Work-Diary Fine Myth(33:17) A Listener's Original Song(38:46) Belinda's Legal Win Of The Week(41:14) Rod's Own Day In Court(45:53) What Changes On August 1❤️ Cheers to GME for making Truckie Tuesday possible!Outfit your rig with the very best, Australian-made communication technology here: https://www.gme.net.au/au/👩‍💼 For expert defence or advisory services, contact Hughe's Lawyers on ⁠⁠0422 388 370⁠⁠ : ⁠⁠https://hugheslaw.com.au/⁠🫶 Join The Bonafide FamilyGet Your Bonafide Merch here: https://bonafidepod.com/en-audFollow 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 InvolvedLeave us a digital voicemail here: https://www.speakpipe.com/BonafideCall the Bonafide Hotline to leave a voicemail: (02) 9128 9311Want to be a guest or suggest a topic?

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.

Before he was a household name, Derryn Hinch went to jail. In 1987 he was sentenced to 12 days for contempt of court — not for a crime against anyone, but for naming a paedophile priest the church kept moving from parish to parish.Following Hinch's death this week, his 3AW anchorman and 42-year friend Craig Willis joins Luke Bona to tell the story behind the headline: the principle Hinch never backed down from, the management who wanted him censored on live radio, and the friendship that outlasted five decades in an industry that sacked him more times than either of them can count.⚠ This conversation includes discussion of historical child sexual abuse and a paedophile priest's conviction, discussed factually and without graphic detail.

This week's Truckie Tuesday: Luke Bona and co-host Rod Hannifey sit down with Belinda Hughes, principal of Hughes Law and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator's former Director of Prosecutions, to go through the real cases crossing her desk — a $206 fine for an unscheduled coffee break, a driver facing a $200,000 maximum penalty over 86 unticked log-book boxes, and her own calculation that a paperwork slip can carry a bigger fine than threatening a partner's life under NSW's stalking laws.They also get into whether electronic work diaries actually help, why professional drivers might deserve more demerit-point leeway rather than less, the NHVR's "Don't Muck With a Truck" youth-driver campaign, and Belinda's own rule for talking to police roadside: don't.Guests: Rod Hannifey (National Road Freighters Association) · Belinda Hughes (Hughes Law; former Director of Prosecutions, NHVR)Chapters (each its own line):(00:00) Intro & GME(01:06) Meet Belinda Hughes(03:34) Is NHVR Enforcement Fair?(10:58) The $206 Coffee-Break Ticket(14:54) A $200,000 Penalty Over Paperwork(15:44) Paperwork Fines vs. Domestic-Violence Penalties(20:09) Electronic Work Diaries: Help or Hindrance?(25:07) A $20,590 Rest-Hours Technicality(28:47) Ticketed Asleep, Parked Legally(35:08) Should Truckies Get Extra Demerit Points?(36:45) Don't Muck With a Truck(43:26) Body Cams & the #1 Roadside Rule(50:07) Sign-Off❤️ Cheers to GME for making this episode of Truckie Tuesday possible!Outfit your rig with the very best, Australian-made, communication technology here: https://www.gme.net.au/au/🫶 Join The Bonafide Familyhttps://www.instagram.com/lukey.bona/Get Your Bonafide Merch here: https://bonafidepod.com/en-audFollow 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 InvolvedLeave us a digital voicemail here: https://www.speakpipe.com/BonafideCall the Bonafide Hotline to leave a voicemail: (02) 9128 9311Want to be a guest or suggest a topic?
