Bonafide with Luke Bona

Is your car listening to you? James Ward from Drive says some cars do send voice and driving data back to the maker, and explains why no government cares about your everyday chat but you still shouldn't talk secrets in any new car. He also has the case for a pre-purchase inspection, and why V8s are holding their value.
David Littleproud joins from Horsham on the rate rise, the backpacker visa cut and the OpenAI breach of a Medicare data portal.
Former NSW detective Dr Vince Hurley says the gangs behind this wave of violence pay brokers to find someone else to do the job, and that cutting the tobacco excise wouldn't stop them.
Plus, Dave Fuller from God's Squad explains how a Christian motorcycle club earned a place in outlaw clubhouses.
On Truckie Tuesday, Rod Hannifey is home in Dubbo talking fuel and Stoney Creek Road, and he has a warning for anyone who sits beside a truck's left door.

Guests: Dr Vince Hurley, David Littleproud, Dave Fuller, James Ward, Rod Hannifey, Belinda Hughes

Nick rang Luke on 2GB after a chat about second chances, and he had 15 years of stories. As a NSW prison officer at Lithgow and at the women's jail at Emu Plains, Nick saw the perspex crack in a riot and had an inmate tell him she knew where his family lived. His view is that most prisoners don't want to be rehabilitated. Some of his own stories, like the woman who left jail a qualified chef, point the other way.

AMP chief economist Shane Oliver blames government spending for the Reserve Bank's rise to 4.60%, but he doesn't expect another rise before Christmas.

In the Man Cave, shark fisherman Joel Nancarrow and Adam McDonald fall out over culling after the fatal attack at Sorrento Beach. Luke's dangerous dog question changes the argument. Adam also brings in a first generation Humphrey B. Bear.

Thomas fills in for Kelsey, plus David Shoebridge as Greens leader.

Guests: Nick, Shane Oliver, Joel Nancarrow, Adam McDonald

This episode contains strong language. It discusses sexual assault in prison, domestic violence, violent deaths and fatal shark attacks.

Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. NHVR chief executive Nicole Rosie spent a day in Rod Hannifey's truck out of Dubbo, and Rod had a list of about 32 questions waiting. Back on Truckie Tuesday she answers the one drivers ask most: is the regulator out to get them? She says education with drivers is up, and that the hard end of enforcement is for repeat, high-risk operators with years of breaches, some of them on their fourteenth letter. Not mudguards. Rod still thinks the fines are too high for anything that isn't a safety breach.

She also covers sham contracting and why an EWD on its own won't solve fatigue. If trucking wants more women behind the wheel, she says the first fix is toilets and showers.

Before that, Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law on whether to pay a ticket, fight it or ask for a review. Angus wins Where's Rodney.

To ask the NHVR to review one of its fines, email Prosecutions.Support@nhvr.gov.au and allow 42 days.

Why can lobbyists with an orange pass walk the halls of Parliament House while you can't get past security? Greens Senator David Shoebridge calls the revolving door between Defence and the weapons industry obscene, and says he'd tear down the walls that keep the public out.

Nathan Cleary's horror injury, the first ever hip-drop send-off, and the Newcastle Knights' first grand final in 25 years.

Daily Telegraph crime reporter Mark Morri on the domestic violence crisis in NSW, teenagers with guns, crooks using AI, and whether police have lost the powers they need.

David Shoebridge on NSW's new medicinal cannabis driving law and the AI agent that got into a Medicare data portal.

Victoria wants minimum-security prisoners working on its roads. Kerry Tucker spent her sentence in the state's maximum-security women's prison untangling airline headphones and sanding chairs in a hot shed, and she tells Luke what work inside should actually be for: getting a woman ready to live next door to you when she gets out, not just filling in her day. She makes the case for education, explains why short sentences leave women serving long terms waiting years for programs, and says building more beds is the lazy fix.
Kerry also goes back to the $1.9 million she took from her employer, the spin class where she was arrested, a month in the police cells with women she had once judged, and the night before her release, when she asked if she could stay.
In the Man Cave, Professor Toby Walsh from UNSW Sydney explains what an AI agent is and why we can't simply pull the plug. Tom Denham is in the chair for the news, from Trump's superintelligence line at the UN to smart glasses at the pool and a runaway emu at Nashdale.

CONTENT WARNING: this episode discusses prison, drug addiction, deaths in custody from overdose and suicide, and a mental health diagnosis. It contains strong language.Support: Lifeline 13 11 14 (24/7) · National Alcohol and Other Drug Hotline 1800 250 015
