Drive is back with a brand new host - journalist and presenter, Leila McKinnon.

In this week's episode, Leila speaks to retired NSW detective Deborah Wallace about how leading with authenticity shaped her ascension within the police force.

She also takes us through her biggest career-defining moments – from re-enacting Anita Cobby's final hours, cracking down on the seedy underworld of organised crime, and how a legal stoush with Alan Jones helped fulfil a lifelong dream.

New episodes will be in your feed on Wednesdays - subscribe now so you never miss one.

Enormous thanks to our partner Uber Eats for making Drive possible.
