David Littleproud breaks down One Nation’s surge in the polls and the push to strip "edu babble" from our schools in favour of real-world life skills. Truckie Tuesday: Rod Hannifey and Mike "The Oz Trucker" Williams hold nothing back. They tackle logbook loopholes, double demerits, and out-of-touch industry bureaucrats. ❤️ Cheers to⁠ GME⁠ for making this episode of Truckie Tuesday Possible🚚 Outfit your rig with the very best, Australian-made, communication technology ⁠here ⁠---👕 GET YOUR BONAFIDE MERCH ⁠HERE ⁠---Have Your Say on The Bonafide Podcast!☎️ Call the Bonafide Hotline - (02) 9128 9311 - to leave a voicemail😎 Follow Luke on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠🎥 Subscribe to us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠ to stay updated with LIVE SHOWS!👊 ⁠⁠LEAVE US A DIGITAL VOICEMAIL HERE⁠⁠📧 [email protected]
