Bonafide with Luke Bona
Luke Bona
He’s a radio legend, punted not once, not twice, but three times from national airwaves. But Luke just doesn’t know when to quit and he’s not done yet. News, politics, technology, motoring and more, Luke is bringing his regulars back for conversations that’ll make you laugh, cry and give you something to talk about - you thought Luke was unhinged before, imagine what he’ll do in a format with no limits. Truckie Tuesday is back, as well as The Man Cave for unfiltered, honest and downright bonkers chats.
- 1 hour 31 secondsTruckie Tuesday: Bells Line Blowouts, Caravan Chaos, & The “Death Book” Debate
This segment originally aired in our full Bonafide episode on 18 March 2026.
Rod Hannifey checks in from Dubbo as he prepares for a massive road train run to Perth, just as the closure of the Great Western Highway threatens to send freight traffic into chaos via the Bells Line of Road. The boys unpack the real-world fallout of detours, rising fuel costs, and why Australia’s reliance on diesel is bigger than most people realise.
There’s also plenty of listener feedback — including frustration around fatigue rules and logbooks, a wild run of caravan stories (from flapping doors to near misses), and a deeper look at the growing skills shortage facing the trucking and mechanical trades. Plus, Rod explains why delays at loading docks can cost drivers days of pay, and just how quickly panic buying can turn a fuel scare into a full-blown problem.

26 March 2026, 6:50 pm - 54 minutes 49 secondsMan Cave: The Coffin Confessors Wildest Deliveries (Aired 13 Mar 26)
This segment originally aired in our full Bonafide episode on 13 March 2026.
In this Man Cave special, Bill Edgar returns with some of his wildest stories yet — from delivering coffin confessions that exposed secret affairs to the bizarre job that involved handing over a very awkward engraved “gift” after death. He also reveals how he went undercover as a dish hand to uncover theft inside major hotels, and shares the emotional side of delivering final messages from loved ones — including one father still playing chess with his late son every Sunday.
The boys also dive into Australia’s gambling problem, the mindset behind addiction, and why one bad decision can unravel an entire life. Classic Man Cave territory — shocking, funny, confronting, and completely unpredictable.

25 March 2026, 7:00 pm - 31 minutes 4 secondsBurned, Beaten & Still Fighting: Adam Shand on The Man Who Could Walk Free (Aired 13 March)
Adam Shand returns to Bonafide to discuss the horrific attack on Lauren Huxley — a teenager beaten with fibrocutters, doused in petrol and left to burn in her own home, who somehow survived against all odds. Adam shares what he learned after speaking directly with Lauren and her sister, including her long recovery, the trauma still carried by the family, and the growing fear that her attacker — who has shown no remorse or rehabilitation — could soon be eligible for parole. It’s a confronting conversation about survival, justice, and whether the system truly protects victims and their families.

Fuel prices, political pressure, and real concerns from the road take centre stage in this episode of Bonafide with Luke Bona.
Jonathan Kearsley breaks down how escalating conflict overseas is driving oil prices higher and what it could mean for fuel costs and government pressure at home. Motoring expert James Ward joins Luke to talk fuel theft, supply fears, and why parts of the industry are starting to feel a little Fury Road. In entertainment, Shane Adam-Basset covers the latest media headlines and the stories making waves across Australia and beyond. Then in Truckie Tuesday, the conversation turns to rising diesel costs, contract pressures, and growing talk about what happens if operators reach breaking point.

23 March 2026, 1:00 pm - 2 hours 18 minutesI’d Bet On It — Petrol Attendants Are Coming Back
We kick things off live & unfiltered (and slightly behind schedule thanks to some classic tech dramas), diving straight into what people are seeing on the ground — fuel queues before sunrise, prices jumping overnight, and the pressure starting to hit from every direction.
It’s not just fuel either. Interest rates are up, groceries aren’t getting any cheaper, and there’s a real question hanging over everything… how much more can people actually take?
Scotty Phillips (The Motley Fool) joins us to break down what the latest rate rise really means, and why it feels like no one’s getting ahead right now before Rod Hannifey stops by for an update on his job to Perth.
Later, Amanda Rose jumps on for a wide-ranging chat about free speech, Grace Tame, the way politics has drifted from the people it claims to represent, Trump’s salesman appeal, and why ordinary Australians are sick of leaders reacting instead of planning ahead.
In The Man Cave, Adam McDonald’s back with a big charity auction and a few stories from the road.
Bit of chaos, bit of reality, bit of everything — just how we like it.

19 March 2026, 1:00 pm - 2 hours 20 minutesPork Knuckle Disaster, Dirty Fuel Panic, & Wobbly Wheels
Luke kicks things off with a pork knuckle disaster that lands him in the dentist chair, before diving into the biggest stories of the week — from social media bans and OnlyFans debates to listener mail and some cracking yarns.
NRMA’s Peter Khoury breaks down the truth behind Australia’s so-called “dirty fuel” panic, what it actually means for motorists, and how global supply issues are impacting everyday Aussies.
David Littleproud joins the show to talk energy policy, fuel security, and whether Australia is dangerously exposed when it comes to supply chains and regional communities.
Then it’s Truckie Tuesday with Rod Hannifey, where the spotlight turns to life on the road — including frustrations from drivers, road safety concerns, and the kind of real-world stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
