ABC Sport caller Andrew Moore tells Luke how his heart attack crept up on him in August 2025: a game called sitting down, days with no energy, then a build-up of pressure that he says wasn't the pain he expected. He talks about the ambulance to Westmead Hospital, the paddles, the nurse who told him "I've got you", and being told his chances had been less than 20%. Then the night he called John Aloisi's penalty in 2005, and why he says Pacific Islander players' names the way their families do. Recorded on 26 October 2026.

    Truckie Tuesday: Nowhere To Stop For Your Break, And Rod On Cunninghams Gap

    If you heard Tuesday's full episode, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff. Every bay's full and your short rest break is due. Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law explains the defence for when there's no suitable rest place: you can drive up to 45 more minutes to the next one, but only for a short rest break, and she says to note why in your diary. She also covers whether police can get into your whole phone, what counts as work, and whether an officer can wake you on your 7-hour break. Hughes Law sponsors Truckie Tuesday. Rod Hannifey has his say on being woken in a rest area, says the Cunninghams Gap upgrade has left one lane at the top, and reads your comments on autos versus manuals. Tony Crooke from GME talks handheld UHFs at a breakdown, Active Mute, and 40 versus 80-channel radios, then takes Rod on in a truckie radio slang quiz.

    Fire ants have turned up at a freight terminal in Sydney, and former agriculture minister David Littleproud says if they get into your backyard, you won't be using it.

A Spectator contributor, and by his own account on air a former Liberal ministerial adviser, Terry tells Luke why he thinks Labor is losing rather than the Coalition winning, and why he calls it the pothole election. He says the result will show whether One Nation is still growing, and that One Nation has a list of what it would do but hasn't costed it.

    If you heard Tuesday's full episode, you have already had this one. This is the Truckie Tuesday on its own, for anyone who just wants the truck stuff.

Luke and Rod also read your comments on truck stop showers, and Luke finds a pub at Merriwagga that leaves its shower open for truckies after hours. Can an officer take your phone if your electronic work diary is on it? Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law says strictly speaking they can, but only in specific circumstances. Then it's false or misleading entries, what to say when you're pulled over, and Darren Cooke's appeal to get his licence back. Belinda is acting for Darren, and Hughes Law sponsors Truckie Tuesday. On the road, a driver went to pass a heavy haulage float on the approach to a blind corner, and Rod called him up on the UHF afterwards for a quiet word.

About

Bonafide with Luke Bona is the unfiltered voice of everyday Australia. After decades in national radio, Luke brings his legendary no-BS approach to the podcast world. We tackle the real issues the mainstream media ignores: Australian politics, the cost of living, motoring, technology, culture, and the transport industry. From the realities of the road on Truckie Tuesday to wild true crime in the Man Cave, get the raw, unhinged truth you’ve been looking for. No censors. No apologies.
