Bonafide with Luke Bona

Bonafide is back for 2026 and it kicks off with e-bikes tearing up golf courses, teenagers in packs pushing limits, and a serious question about whether we’ve completely lost control of this tech experiment. Granny Sue joins us from Far North Queensland with cyclone survival smarts, and a lesson on Darwin stubbies. James Ward cuts through the e-bike chaos and double demerit points debate, explaining what sensible regulation could actually look like for everyday drivers. Pauline Hanson reacts to One Nation’s polling surge, Australia Day debates, hate speech laws, and gun reform. Plus Rod Hannifey returns for Truckie Tuesday, talking fatigue rules, responsibility behind the wheel, and the realities truck drivers face that rarely make the headlines.
There are laughs, listener calls, uncomfortable truths, and one dating story that completely derails the show.

A Bonafide Christmas cracker of an episode 🎄🚛 Luke, Kelsey, and trucking legend Rod Hannifey dive into the chaos and charm of the holiday break: dud cricket pitches costing millions, double-demerits vs common sense, sham contracting and the family companies going under, dodgy trucks that should never leave the yard, and why overseas drivers and GPS speedos are riling up the highways. Plus — Die Hard is (or isn’t?!) a Christmas movie, the great rodeo debate, “big things” you need to visit on your summer road trip, and listener messages that’ll make you laugh, groan, and yell at the car stereo.

In this special episode, we revisit some of Keith Suter’s most compelling conversations on Bonafide — covering the Iran–Israel conflict, the Epstein files, and the Ukraine war involving Trump and Putin. Listening back now, it’s striking how often Keith’s analysis anticipated where these stories were heading. Alongside the original interviews, we include fresh updates on what’s changed since those chats, adding context to where these global flashpoints sit today. A tribute to a sharp mind who always cut through the noise.

A big, end-of-year Bonafide that pulls no punches. Luke and The Millenial tackle the aftermath of the Bondi atrocity, gun licensing failures, ASIO watchlists, antisemitism vs anti-Zionism, and what leadership should look like when the country’s on edge. There’s balance and context from senior Ramzi Elsayed, Former President & Vice President of the Jewish Christian Muslim Association of Victoria, & listener feedback. Shane Adam Bassett drops in with a full entertainment rundown — cinema vs streaming, Christmas movie debates, & Rob Reiner’s legacy.
Dr Karl joins the conversation for a wide-ranging discussion that predictably drifts into big-picture thinking, including why time is far more “wibbly wobbly” than we tend to assume. Then, the Man Cave returns with Adam McDonald.

MAN CAVE REPLAY: Phones smashed, passwords forgotten, politicians on long lunches, and kids raised by iPads. In this Man Cave, the boys joined by political commentator Jason Morrison rip into tech dependence, generational divides, taxpayer perks, and the quiet ways common sense keeps slipping through the cracks — with a few laughs, a few rants, and plenty of pub-logic along the way.
