THURSDAY POD | From Bikey Wars to Free Education: Gold Coast’s Past, Present & Future Explored

In this compelling episode of The Leisel Jones, Liam & Spida Podcast, the team take you on a nostalgic, insightful, and at times heavy-hitting journey. They begin with throwback tales ofunforgettable school excursions.. including waving at the Queen (or maybe just a random car for Spida). But the tone shifts as they dive deep into Australia's rising costs of living, with a powerful discussion around which financial burden they'd erase for Aussies - from student debt to free junior sport access.

Then, the conversation turns serious with former Gold Coast Police Superintendent Jim Keogh, who reflects on the infamous Broadbeach Brawl and sounds the alarm on the resurgence of bikie gang violence. From youth crime to organized drug and tobacco wars, Keogh pulls no punches on what needs to be done, and fast.

Laughs, memories, hard truths.. this episode covers it all. A must-listen for anyone who cares about community, safety, and the future of the Gold Coast.
