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.

NSW has already handed out $400 million in fines from mobile-phone and seatbelt cameras — and the state is now looking at fully AI-assisted enforcement. Drive.com.au's James Ward joins Luke to break down the real false-positive rates, a driver who had to hire a lawyer to beat a wrongful fine, and why he thinks it's about revenue, not road safety.

Plus: outspoken ex-school-principal Tracy Tully returns for part two, digging into the real cost of private education (closing in on half a million dollars per child in Sydney) and why financial literacy should be taught from primary school; Truckie Tuesday with Rod Hannifey and Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law on the new "fit to drive" heavy-vehicle laws; the Alan Joyce/Qantas 60 Minutes fallout; and the NRL's West Tigers leadership saga.

Guests: Tracy Tully · James Ward · Rod Hannifey · Belinda Hughes

⚠ This episode includes discussion of a real assault on a minor, a graphic workplace threat, and a reference to a real fatal road tragedy.

Former Speaker of the House Bronwyn Bishop joins Luke for a wide-ranging, on-the-record catch-up: her own take on Pauline Hanson and immigration, the "White Australia policy" debate that's resurfaced in the news, ranking every Prime Minister she's served under or alongside (from Bob Hawke to Anthony Albanese), Gina Rinehart, China, and why she says the Union Jack isn't coming off the Australian flag.

Plus: legal eagle James Glisson on a convicted killer accessing taxpayer-funded Ozempic (and very nearly taxpayer-funded IVF) in a Victorian prison, and a Melbourne woman charged over alleged ISIS ties walking free on bail despite the AFP's objections; Sky News' Jonathan Kearsley on the Saudi Arabia nuclear deal and the Iran conflict; and in the Man Cave, Barnaby Joyce's viral dog-scolding moment, a chat about bullying, and a seven-year-old's viral song.

⚠ This episode includes discussion of an alleged terrorism case involving a young child, and describes (without showing) radicalising content. It also discusses a real, recent violent crime. Listener discretion advised.

No censors. No apologies. This is Bonafide with Luke Bona.
