Show Notes
Lachlan is a young truck driver. He booked his heavy vehicle licence upgrade, paid his fees, turned up at the testing centre, and was sent home. The reason he was given: the safety cameras inside his employer's truck can't be deactivated, and tampering with them is a sackable offence. Two other drivers from the same company had already tested in the same truck without an issue. Rod Hannifey and Luke Bona work through what he should do next, and it opens onto the question the industry hasn't answered. A truck is a workplace, but it's also a bedroom. So who gets to watch, and who keeps what they see?
Plus: the NHVR and Transport Certification Australia have built a new Generation 2.0 electronic work diary framework, with the specification due out within weeks, and Hughes Law's Belinda Hughes reads what the fact sheet doesn't say about where all that fatigue data is headed. Sham contracting is costing the country billions in lost tax revenue and driving decent operators out of business. NHVR chief executive Nicole Rosie is flying to Dubbo to spend a full day in Rod's truck. Senator Bridget McKenzie is confirmed for a coming episode. There's a new segment where you can put a legal question straight to Belinda. And Where's Rodney is finally solved, at Wyaga Creek on the Gore Highway.

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.

He also covers shark and crocodile culling, and the case for nuclear power.
