Show Notes
Former NSW Minister for Police, Counter-Terrorism and Veterans Affairs David Elliott joins Luke Bona for a wide-ranging bonus sit-down. David finally addresses the rumour that he was having an affair — private investigator, dirt file and all — and explains why he thinks it was timed to rattle him during the NSW Liberal Party's ICAC inquiry.
From there the conversation ranges across the Idaho In-N-Out shooting and what it means for Australia's gun laws, the Bondi terror attack ahead of the Royal Commission's findings, David's view on the ongoing Alan Jones trial, Gina Rinehart's legal action against the ABC, and — lighter territory — why a trip to Bunnings might just save your marriage, and the secret to 30 years with his wife Nicole.
