On the show: Feegs covers the headlines to start your weekend, including convicted murderer Gerard Baden-Clay’s eligibility for parole in just three years time. Baden-Clay was convicted of the 2012 murder of his wife, Alison, and Feegs questions why is a life sentence not actually for life?
We also hear more about how Queenslanders have shouted former Deputy Premier Jackie Trad more than $300,000 in legal fees for her battle to suppress a Crime and Corruption Commission report; and how an awkward on-air gaffe by Nine’s Brad ‘Freddy’ Fittler while interviewing the Olympic medal-winning Fox Sisters has created a social media storm.

Feegs also covers the spate of road accidents on the Bruce Highway this week, and we hear from Gladstone Region Mayor Matt Burnett who has been at ground zero at that fatal crash which has rocked the small town of Bororen.
