Bonafide with Luke Bona

Rod Hannifey has been doing the numbers. He reckons 80 to 85 per cent of Australian truck drivers do everything right, another 10 to 15 per cent get pushed too hard by a boss or a customer, and fewer than 5 per cent have decided the rules do not apply to them. What worries him is that police ministers and commissioners seem increasingly willing to talk about the whole industry as though it were that last 5 per cent. This week he puts those figures to you directly and asks whether they match the industry you know, and what could actually be done about it.Rod and Luke also work through where your electronic work diary data ends up once Transport Certification Australia is holding it, and what happens when AI is pointed at five years of records. NatRoad chief executive Warren Clark has written about operators still signing contracts with no fuel recovery clause, which leads into something Rod has been watching from the road: whole fleets appearing at auction, and the undercutting spiral that follows when that gear sells cheap. There is Toll's new hydrogen prime mover rollout with Viva Energy and BlueScope, the story of what really happened to LPG, and Victoria's five proposed heavy vehicle licensing reforms, which prompt the line of the episode: we do not have a driver shortage, we have a shortage of people who want to be drivers.And for R U OK Day, Rod makes the case for ringing a mate, with a number from his own Christmas phone calls that is hard to hear.Plus a copy of Toots: Woman in a Man's World by Donna Vawdrey to give away, a Hughes Law court win teased for next week, and Where's Rod Been returns with an Ian Moss clue.⚠ Content warning: this episode includes a brief, non-graphic discussion of suicide during the R U OK Day segment.

Barnaby Joyce says he was told to leave the Nationals, not once but a number of times. David Littleproud says it never happened. "He's never been asked to leave the National Party, ever," the Maranoa MP and former party leader tells Luke. "That is an outright lie, and I'm very disappointed that he'd even say that." He also takes on migration numbers, the fuel excise, whether Pauline Hanson went too far on Anthony Albanese's late mother, and whether Erin Patterson's solitary confinement crosses a line.Then Dr Karl Kruszelnicki on a new Harvard study that puts cabin crew and pilots at the top of 503 occupations for radiation-linked cancer deaths, what hydrogen can and can't do for ships, planes and steel, and why yawning is contagious. Scott Phillips from The Motley Fool on why One Nation's early-super policy would worsen the problem it's meant to solve, and the surprisingly good story of Australian credit from Bankcard in 1974 to tap-and-go. Daily Telegraph journalist Jessica Wang on what the Canberra press gallery actually sees. And on Truckie Tuesday, Rod Hannifey on Toll's new hydrogen prime movers, Victoria's licensing shake-up, fuel clauses and the race to the bottom, and a question he wants every driver in the country to answer.Plus listener mail on the Aldi middle aisle, superannuation, and who should be playing the grand final.This episode discusses suicide and mental health.

Tracy Tully spent a career in the roughest schools in Australia, and she taught on both sides of 1995, the year corporal punishment ended in Queensland state schools. She caned children. The ones she caned still stop her in the street. Ask her whether it should come back and the answer is not the one you expect.This one is a Man Cave, so Luke Bona and Adam MacDonald get there sideways. It starts with dumb phones, a 20 cent yo-yo now worth 700 dollars, and Adam's theory that everyone is just trying to buy their youth back. It lands on what happens to boys who grow up without a man in the house who gets them. Adam's answer is one teacher, a jiu jitsu coach, and week on week off with a mother he never stopped getting along with. Tracy's answer is the story at the centre of this episode.First day at a school out west, brief of two words: fix it. By five o'clock she had expelled the six worst boys in the school, and by five o'clock she had a plan for them. Her family ran shearing teams. She asked for six men she could absolutely trust. The boys went into the sheds for six weeks with no phone, no alcohol and no drugs, running at dawn, learning how to fix a tap, sitting around a campfire at night having the conversations nobody had ever had with them. Every parent signed. Every boy stayed at school. She gave each of them a shearer's singlet and they wore it into town like a uniform. Most of them are still in the game.Also in this one: Book Week costume bans, school uniforms as the great leveller, the student who was allowed to identify as a cat and drink milk from a saucer while Adam's son got pinged for wearing a hoodie, Adam's own father walking into a police station, and a 1965 Humphrey B. Bear that is about to go in the post.Guests: Tracy Tully, author of FEARless Buckle UP Build ResilienceHeads up: this episode discusses the corporal punishment of children, a ten-year-old being assaulted, a father striking his teenage son, threats made against a family, and two deaths.

Lachlan is a young truck driver. He booked his heavy vehicle licence upgrade, paid his fees, turned up at the testing centre, and was sent home. The reason he was given: the safety cameras inside his employer's truck can't be deactivated, and tampering with them is a sackable offence. Two other drivers from the same company had already tested in the same truck without an issue. Rod Hannifey and Luke Bona work through what he should do next, and it opens onto the question the industry hasn't answered. A truck is a workplace, but it's also a bedroom. So who gets to watch, and who keeps what they see?Plus: the NHVR and Transport Certification Australia have built a new Generation 2.0 electronic work diary framework, with the specification due out within weeks, and Hughes Law's Belinda Hughes reads what the fact sheet doesn't say about where all that fatigue data is headed. Sham contracting is costing the country billions in lost tax revenue and driving decent operators out of business. NHVR chief executive Nicole Rosie is flying to Dubbo to spend a full day in Rod's truck. Senator Bridget McKenzie is confirmed for a coming episode. There's a new segment where you can put a legal question straight to Belinda. And Where's Rodney is finally solved, at Wyaga Creek on the Gore Highway.Guests: Rod Hannifey (Truckie Tuesday co-host, National Road Freighters Association) · Belinda Hughes (Principal, Hughes Law)(00:00) Cold Open: "Why Is Your Hat Over The Camera?"(01:16) Where's Rodney: Last Week's Clues(02:06) Gen 2.0 Electronic Work Diaries Land In Weeks(03:35) Sham Contracting And The Race To The Bottom(08:37) Listener Mail: Refused A Licence Test Over In-Cab Cameras(11:56) Asleep In The Bunk, Phoned About A Hat(14:10) Your Truck Is Your Home(16:19) Hughes Law: Where Your Fatigue Data Goes Next(19:54) Revenue Or Road Safety?(21:07) NHVR Boss Nicole Rosie Rides With Rod(23:52) New Segment: Ask The Legal Eagle(25:17) Rod's Rant On The Blitz Numbers(27:03) Where's Rodney: The Answer(29:27) Sign-Off❤️ 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/🫶 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?

Michael Hope has been around AFL his whole life, he knows Isaac Heeney and he knows his family, and he says the Sydney Swans now have a problem that suspending five players does not fix. On this Man Cave he tells Luke Bona and Adam MacDonald what he would do if he were on that board: trade all five at the end of the season, and bring in a testing regime the club runs itself. Hope trained as a pharmacist before he was a winemaker, and the detail he brings to what a drug test can and cannot find is the part of this conversation nobody else is having.Plus: why an AFL club cannot simply tear up a contract the way an NRL club can, what Richmond were thinking on their Mad Monday, the lawyers already circling with civil claims, and the moment Adam pulls out a set of 1930s polio calipers and a straitjacket.UPDATE, correcting what we said on air: this episode was recorded in late August. Since then, Victoria Police confirmed on 2 September that Sexual Crimes Squad detectives interviewed four men in relation to the Pullman Hotel allegations. Riley Bice, who the club also stood down, is not being investigated over the sexual assault allegations. No arrests have been made and no charges have been laid against anyone. Police expect to provide a further update in around eight weeks.Everything discussed here is an allegation. Nobody has been charged.Michael Hope's view of the AFL's illicit drugs policy is his own. For what the policy actually says, the AFL Players' Association publishes it directly.Support: 1800RESPECT 1800 737 732 (24/7) · National Alcohol and Other Drug Hotline 1800 250 01500:00 Cold Open: They've Now Got A Serious Problem00:12 Welcome To The Man Cave00:51 Why We Called Michael Hope01:17 The Allegations We Are Leaving To The Police03:54 Inside The AFL Bubble05:22 The Five Players Stood Down06:57 Boys Will Be Boys, And Where It Stops08:20 The Pullman Five, And Why They Have To Go10:39 The CEO Who Would Not Answer The Drug Question11:47 What A Club Should Do Instead12:38 Hair Testing: 10 To 90 Days14:52 Civil Claims, Lawyers And The Mud That Sticks17:44 The Isaac Heeney Nobody Talks About21:33 Jai Arrow's 100th Game23:54 What's In Adam's Hands: Calipers, A Straitjacket And A Gimp Mask#SydneySwans #AFL #ManCave #BonafidePodcast #AFLNews🫶 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?

Three heavy-vehicle licence assessors have been pulled from the NSW scheme and referred to police after a joint Transport for NSW/NHVR crackdown across Tweed Heads and Lismore. Rod Hannifey and Luke Bona ask what it means for every driver those assessors trained — and a listener writes in with an anonymous, unverified account of "brown paper bag" backhanders allegedly pushing safe local trucking contracts to cheaper, non-local operators.Plus: a $100 million funding boost for the Great Western Highway's Blue Mountains rebuild, a $10,000 free training pathway launching for Cairns jobseekers, the NHVR's latest fatigue blitz results (6,100+ heavy vehicles checked, non-compliance on the rise), a Legal Win of the Week from Hughes Law's Belinda Hughes, and Rod's rant on logbook fines that treat honest paperwork mistakes as deceit.Guests: Rod Hannifey (Truckie Tuesday co-host, National Road Freighters Association) · Belinda Hughes (Principal, Hughes Law)(00:00) Cold Open & Intro(01:04) $10,000 Free Training For Cairns Jobseekers(03:30) $100M For The Great Western Highway(06:27) NHVR Fatigue Blitz Results(09:31) 3 Licence Assessors Referred To Police(12:07) A Listener's Backhander Warning(17:09) Hughes Law: Win Of The Week(20:59) Rod's Rant: Weighbridge And Logbook Fines(24:06) Sign-Off🫶 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's Truckie Tuesday: container logistics giant ACFS Port Logistics — the operator behind Coles, Kmart and Bunnings' freight — has collapsed into external administration owing the ATO an alleged $60 million, with up to 1,500 jobs on the line. Luke Bona and Rod Hannifey break down what it means for the industry, and Hughes Law's Belinda Hughes joins with her Legal Win of the Week: a trucking company client's 37 charges and $2.54 million in maximum penalties, negotiated down to 8 charges and $549,000, all before it reached court.Plus: a postmortem on the Casino Truck Show, the physics of why a triple road train can swing its back trailer a metre sideways from the smallest steering input, the story of a 44-year veteran driver who just walked away from the industry over new heavy-vehicle fines, New South Wales' roundabout and U-turn rules explained properly, and Rod's question of the week for the NHVR's new CEO, Nicole Rosie.Guests: Rod Hannifey (Truckie Tuesday co-host, National Road Freighters Association) · Belinda Hughes (Principal, Hughes Law)(00:00) GME Sponsor Open & Intro(00:51) Checking In With Rod From Dubbo(01:16) A Postmortem On The Casino Truck Show(06:49) A Listener's Dashcam Near-Miss(09:45) Inside A Triple Road Train's Physics(15:58) New Fines: Why A 44-Year Veteran Just Quit(19:00) Listener Mail: Roundabouts And U-Turns(30:04) ACFS Port Logistics Collapses(35:57) Hughes Law: 37 Charges Down To 8(42:14) Rod's Question For The NHVR's New CEO(46:02) Sign-Off❤️ 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/🫶 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?

Every year, 49,000 Australians are reported missing — most are found within weeks. 2,800 are not. True-crime author and Australian Missing Persons Register founder Nicole Morris sits down with Luke Bona to tell the stories behind the numbers: a crossbow murder on Sydney's northern beaches, the still-unsolved 2001 disappearance of Janine Vaughan, the 1978 case of Trudy Adams that stopped a generation of girls hitchhiking, and the hundreds of unidentified bodies still sitting in Australian morgues today.Channel Seven's UK bureau chief Ben Downie joins live from London to unpack the tragic academic scandal dominating British headlines — a Cambridge professor's resignation, and his death days later, and the very real question of who's to blame. Former National Party leader David Littleproud breaks down NSW's sweeping new gun laws in the wake of the Bondi attack, and weighs in on Pauline Hanson's latest Mardi Gras comments.Then it's Truckie Tuesday with Rod Hanafi: a national truckers' apprenticeship push, the extraordinary story of driver-advocate Sharon Horne, and a live legal fight with Hughes Law over a trucking company shut down overnight.Guests: Nicole Morris (author, Australian Missing Persons Register) · Ben Downie (Channel Seven, UK) · David Littleproud MP · Rod Hannifey (Truckie Tuesday) · Sharon Horne · Belinda Hughes (Hughes Law)⚠ Content warning: this episode discusses real missing-persons cases, murder and abduction (non-graphic, historical), a recent death by suicide, and gun violence in a policy context.

She's home for one night between flights, and Senator Pauline Hanson isn't pulling any punches. Luke Bona sits down with the One Nation leader for a full solo interview, starting with yesterday's nationwide student walkout against her and One Nation — and her blunt response to it, including a secret recording of a teacher she says abused students in class, which she says she's about to release.From there: whether she could genuinely become Prime Minister off the back of One Nation's poll surge, how she'd handle Donald Trump one-on-one, the AUKUS tightrope between the US and China, Albanese's awkward melon moment with Japan's PM, her friendship with Gina Rinehart, the real cost of Nauru, overtime tax reform, a push for a national truckies' apprenticeship scheme, and the fish and chip shop she ran for a decade before politics.Guests: Senator Pauline Hanson (Leader, Pauline Hanson's One Nation)⚠️ Contains a protester's sign quoting strong language (not repeated in these notes) and a brief, non-graphic reference to self-harm in immigration detention.00:00 Welcome back, Senator Hanson00:34 The National Union of Students walkout01:29 The high school protest sign that went viral04:53 Are the kids being led, or thinking for themselves?05:19 "I'm going to release it" — the secret teacher recording06:11 Marked down from an A to a C- for writing about Hanson07:26 Should classrooms run CCTV?10:11 Could Hanson become PM?

Local court, no jury, and a maximum sentence nowhere near what most people assume — even if every charge sticks. Criminal lawyer James Glissan joins Luke Bona to break down how Alan Jones's 22-charge hearing actually works, why the cap is five years, and what "tendency evidence" means for a case built on unproven allegations.Then Reverend Tim Costello returns to unpack why Australia has the world's worst gambling losses, three decades of policy failure, and who's funding both sides of politics to keep it that way.Plus: Kelsey and Adam McDonald in the Man Cave on Anthony Albanese's "Melon Gate" — the PM's undiplomatic gift-giving story about the Japanese Prime Minister that's now made international headlines — a self-checkout stealing debate, a sex doll mistaken for human remains, and What's In Adam's Hand.⚠ Content warning: this episode discusses an active, unresolved criminal matter involving allegations of sexual misconduct (the accused has pleaded not guilty; the matter is before the courts) and gambling-related financial harm.

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.

Former NSW Minister for Police, Counter-Terrorism and Veterans Affairs David Elliott joins Luke Bona for a wide-ranging bonus sit-down. David finally addresses the rumour that he was having an affair — private investigator, dirt file and all — and explains why he thinks it was timed to rattle him during the NSW Liberal Party's ICAC inquiry.From there the conversation ranges across the Idaho In-N-Out shooting and what it means for Australia's gun laws, the Bondi terror attack ahead of the Royal Commission's findings, David's view on the ongoing Alan Jones trial, Gina Rinehart's legal action against the ABC, and — lighter territory — why a trip to Bunnings might just save your marriage, and the secret to 30 years with his wife Nicole.Guests: David Elliott⚠ This episode references a real terrorist attack and discusses an active criminal trial.

(replay) A new "fit to drive" duty lands on 1 August, and this Truckie Tuesday tackles the question every driver actually wants answered: if you ring your boss and say you're unfit, are you now on the hook for a medical certificate? Luke Bona and Rod Hannifey work through a listener's voicemail on it, then Hughes Law's Belinda Hughes — now a Truckie Tuesday partner — gives the legal verdict, plus her Win of the Week: how a trucking company facing $170,000 in penalties over a trailer that was 6.5cm over length walked away with a $5,000 fine.Plus: a listener's email on life hauling animal by-products (and how to live with the smell), fuel excise relief set to end on August 3, more overseas drivers getting a faster path to an Australian licence, a driver's eerie run-in with a van that wouldn't stop tailing a B-double on the Pacific Highway, who actually owns a roundabout, and what to expect at this weekend's Casino Truck Show.No censors.

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.
