With many Aussies taking a ‘super-break’ across the Easter and Anzac Day holidays, homes across the country will be empty as people travel locally or further afield.

Easter presents an eggs-cellent opportunity for burglars if we don’t take some simple security precautions.

While 40% of break-ins are via forced entry through a door or window, amazingly, around 32% are committed via an unlocked door or window.

Phil speaks with Security Expert, Gina Field, outlines five simple tips that can greatly reduce the risk of you being targeted by thieves while you’re away.

1. Don’t leave spare keys in an outside hiding spot - it’s not worth the risk.
2. Lock all windows and doors and triple check they’re locked!
3. Have a neighbour keep an eye on things.
4. Keep valuables and car keys out of sight.
5. Invest in movement-activated sensor lights to deter thieves.

Phil is joined by Roger Sutherland, a 40-year veteran of Victoria Police who knows firsthand the toll shift work takes—missed family moments, sleepless nights, and the grind of burnout.

Now retired, Roger has created The Shift Workers Collective, a 24/7 online community offering real support for shift workers, especially those in health, emergency services, and frontline roles.

“Shift workers are sick of doing it alone. They deserve better support, better tools, and someone who truly understands,” Roger says.

Backed by lived experience, Roger delivers practical, evidence-based advice on sleep, nutrition, work-life balance, and mental health—cutting through the generic noise that doesn’t fit the reality of shift work. He also hosts A Healthy Shift podcast, appears regularly on 3AW, and has supported thousands through coaching and speaking.

Launched at a time of rising burnout and frontline worker shortages, The Shift Workers Collective is built by a shift worker, for shift workers—and it’s just getting started.

Phil is joined by Warwick Stacey, who is running for the NSW Senate with Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, aiming to put everyday Australians first. Frustrated with career politicians, he’s focused on strong borders, affordable energy, and easing the cost of living.

He wants to pause mass migration to reduce pressure on housing and infrastructure, boost local manufacturing, and restore job security. Stacey also supports coal, gas, and nuclear power, opposing net-zero policies which he says have led to higher energy costs.

With real-world experience, Stacey promises to fight for common-sense policies and a self-reliant Australia.
