Show Notes
Kmart's $89 "Anko" AI glasses have sold out amid a growing privacy backlash, and this week Bonafide digs into it from two angles. Greens Senator David Shoebridge tells Luke why the glasses could be referred to the Attorney-General, then makes an unexpectedly passionate case for properly resourcing Australia's under-pressure air traffic controllers. Tech commentator Trevor Long joins wearing his own Meta Ray-Bans on air and cuts through the panic with one blunt question: are we banning cameras, or are we banning photography itself?
Plus: Matt Canavan, Leader of the National Party, on the ABC's apology to Gina Rinehart, whether the Coalition could ever work with Pauline Hanson's One Nation, the case for defunding the ABC, and a first-home-buyer loophole nobody saw coming. Then it's Truckie Tuesday 132 — Rod Hannifey on braking distance and the U-turns that kill, and Belinda Hughes with this week's Legal Win.

More from Bonafide with Luke Bona
Greg Evans, the host of Perfect Match, tells Luke how Reg Grundy's dating show let Channel Ten charge prime-time rates at 5:30, and about the contestant who chose number three but couldn't stop thinking about number one. He went through the phone book to find her. Greg also reveals where Dexter the robot lives now, and he and Luke swap the songs from the 3XY and 2SM days they reckon you need to hear.

Robbie Katter, the Member for Traeger and leader of Katter's Australian Party, tells Luke why he and his dad Bob want North Queensland to become Australia's seventh state, and why he thinks city people lose out while the north's metals stay in the ground. He also covers shark and crocodile culling, and the case for nuclear power.
