    FULL SHOW: Your first day in prison, with Rob McKnight and David Littleproud

    Our first live show. Nick, a former NSW prison officer, comes back for part two and takes Luke through a first-timer's day in prison, from the strip search to the cellmate you don't get to choose. He also explains how new inmates get pushed into carrying contraband for someone else, and how they can say no. Rob McKnight from McKnight Tonight reviews the calls he made in September about Nine's Today show and The Voice, and talks about 4BH's rise in Brisbane and Sam Armytage's run-in with Michael Usher's son. David Littleproud, in a chat recorded before the show, takes on the card surcharge ban and the trust tax, and says drivers who don't own an EV shouldn't help pay for new chargers. In the Man Cave, Adam McDonald turns 50 and Granny Sue calls from Yorkeys Knob to back a seventh state for North Queensland. They also argue about a Tasmanian school taking Christmas out of the name of its end-of-year raffle, and whether an Australian astronaut is worth $100 million. Guests: Rob McKnight, David Littleproud, Nick, Adam McDonald, Granny Sue Recorded live on Thursday 15 October 2026. This episode contains strong language and adult themes. It discusses violence in prisons and deaths in custody, including suicide watch.

    Man Cave: Should the shark that attacks be killed? Adam and a shark fisherman clash

    Shark fisherman Joel Nancarrow says the great white that killed a swimmer at Sorrento Beach in Perth should have been hunted down. Adam McDonald's view is that it's the risk you take when you swim, and the Man Cave gets heated. Then Luke asks about dangerous dogs, and Adam comes round, as long as it's the right shark. Joel runs Hunter Shark Jaw Restoration in Newcastle. He explains how a jaw is restored, why he buys jaws from commercial fishermen rather than selling what he catches, and why every bull shark he lands dies. A bite-resistant wetsuit surprised him more than anything else he's tested, though he says nothing would stop a shark the size of the one at Sorrento. Joel's views on shark numbers and behaviour are his own, from years on the water. Some of them aren't backed by published research. Joel's first interview with Luke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsX3Aq_UYqs Should a shark that attacks someone be hunted down? Tell us what you think in the comments. This interview contains strong language and discusses fatal shark attacks.

    Shane Oliver on government spending, the $1 trillion debt and your super

    If you heard our full episode on 2 October, you have already had this one. This is Luke's chat with Shane Oliver on its own, for anyone who just wants the money talk. The Reserve Bank lifted the cash rate to 4.60% on 29 September, and AMP chief economist Shane Oliver says that if he had to single out one cause, it's too much government spending. It now makes up about 28% of the economy, and he explains why cutting it would spread the pain beyond people with a mortgage, and which projects could wait a few years. Luke asks who Australia owes its $1 trillion debt to, and who collects the interest. Then Shane weighs up One Nation's plan to let renters and mortgage holders take 3 of the 12 percentage points of their employer super as cash for three years. He thinks the real problem is that housing costs too much, and he has advice for young buyers in a falling market. Last question: will rates go up again before Christmas? Guests: Shane Oliver Recorded 30 September 2026, the day after the Reserve Bank lifted the cash rate to 4.60%. Shane's comments are general information, not personal financial advice. 00:00 The RBA lifts rates to 4.60% 01:11 Why rates rose: too much demand 03:19 David Koch's challenge: is it government spending? 05:35 Which projects could wait a few years? 06:40 The public service and the NDIS 07:49 Who do we owe $1 trillion to? 09:03 No money put aside for a rainy day 09:55 Why the interest bill is climbing 10:53 Should we be in surplus right now? 11:35 Keating's 1986 banana republic warning 12:08 How big is $1 trillion, really? 13:05 Who gets the interest on the debt? 13:58 One Nation's plan to pay some super as cash 14:48 Why housing is the real problem 16:33 One Nation's migration cut: housing and jobs 17:50 Advice for young people trying to buy a home 18:31 Another rate rise before Christmas? 🫶 Join The Bonafide Family Get Your Bonafide Merch here: https://bonafidepod.com/en-aud Follow 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 Involved Leave us a digital voicemail here: https://www.speakpipe.com/Bonafide Call the Bonafide Hotline to leave a voicemail: (02) 9128 9311 Want to be a guest or suggest a topic?

    FULL SHOW: Should the government own 200 Coles and Woolies stores?

    David Shoebridge, in his first chat with Luke as Greens leader, makes the case for forcing the sale of 200 Coles and Woolworths stores and running about 600 public supermarkets. Scotty Phillips from The Motley Fool calls it populism, then explains why he thinks cutting temporary visas misses the point and why some cafes put up the price of a coffee after the surcharge ban. Jessica Wang from The Daily Telegraph covers the Greens leadership fight, One Nation in Victoria and the flydubai co-pilot. On Truckie Tuesday, Rod Hannifey takes on speed camera revenue and dangerous overtaking, and Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law answers your work diary questions and talks about Kylie Robinson's $800 weighbridge fine.

    Truckie Tuesday: A Client Grounded For 12 Weeks, And Rod's Blind Spot Warning

    If you heard the full episode on Tuesday 6 October, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. Rod Hannifey is home in Dubbo, so Luke has him on screen for the fuel news. China has suspended its October fuel exports and the G7 has agreed to release up to 100 million barrels from reserves. Rod says people filling a car for the shops don't see the difference when a truck burns 1,000 litres a day. Luke has the rules taking trucks off Stoney Creek Road from 2027, and Rod has a warning for anyone who sits beside a truck's left door. Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law gives her view of NHVR chief executive Nicole Rosie's day in Rod's truck: credit for doing a full shift, and two points she disagrees with. She tells the story of a client, with his consent, whose company was grounded for 12 weeks. Her win of the week is a driver who was facing 37 charges over his work diaries and, by her count, about $185,000 in fines. He walked away with $3,000 in fines. Then the daylight saving question, and Jono's Truckie Tuesday anthem.

    FULL SHOW: Why Jim Penman says his company can't be sold, and Bathurst with Mark Beretta

    Jim Penman tells Luke how a rival knocked him back when he asked to join, why he charges franchisees $700 for a contract when he says $5,000 is normal, and why, he says, Jim's Group can't be sold without most franchisees' consent. His new book with Andrea Pearson, Birth-Rate Crisis, blames too much dopamine for Australia's falling birth rate. Kelsey isn't convinced. Mark Beretta calls in on the drive to Bathurst with stories from Mount Panorama and a look at Sunday's race, plus his new Seven series, Ports to Paradise. In the Man Cave, Dr Graham Wild from UNSW Canberra talks about the flydubai cockpit attack and air marshals, then takes on Adam McDonald's doubts about the moon landing.

    FULL SHOW: Is your car spying on you? And what is disorganised crime?

    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.
