#135 - Warren Pickering - Can One Nation Break Through In Victoria?
Listened🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Army veteran Warren Pickering for a wide-ranging conversation about Victoria’s election, One Nation’s campaign and what Warren thinks needs to change in the state. Warren talks about growing up in country Victoria, working as a bricklayer and joining the Australian Army at 29. We discuss his time as a combat engineer, what he saw on overseas exercises and deployments, and how cheap drones are changing modern warfare. We then get into what it takes to run a minor-party campaign, from funding and long days to dealing with the media. Warren also explains One Nation’s approach to policing and youth crime, and its proposals to release past cabinet documents, audit Treasury and make government spending easier for the public to track. The conversation turns to Australia’s ability to produce more at home, why Warren thinks young innovators are looking overseas, and how AI could reshape work. 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch:…
Monologue #13 | The Midterms, Billionaires & the Cost of Living
Listened🎙 In Monologue #13 of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I react to the US midterms and ask what Australian politicians—and One Nation in particular—can learn about broken promises, voter loyalty and political accountability. From the Iran war and the America First movement to the cost of living here at home, I explain why my support for any political party is conditional. If you abandon the people who put you there, you should expect to lose their support. I also discuss reports of Anthony Albanese dining on a yacht with billionaire Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, question the priorities behind the manosphere and radicalisation debate, and respond to Andrew Hastie’s explanation of his absence from the Digital Duty of Care vote. The monologue then turns to Jacqui Lambie, veterans and the reported assault on a One Nation volunteer, before I finish with updates from Melbourne and the upcoming Sydney rally. Election promises matter. Whether it’s One Nation, Labor or the Liberals, the people we vote for need to be held…
#134 - Carlos Quaremba - Party Before People?
Listened🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Carlos Quaremba for a wide-ranging conversation about South Australian politics, government priorities, free speech and Australia’s future. Carlos reflects on his transition from the construction industry to Parliament and shares his experience of waiting nearly nine hours for his daughter to be admitted to hospital. We discuss ambulance ramping, homelessness and his concerns about the balance between major sporting events and essential services. We also explore changes to carpentry apprenticeships, construction industry lobbying and the incentives driving the major political parties. Carlos shares his views on One Nation’s future and his predictions about South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas’s political direction. The conversation then turns to political violence, trust in mainstream media, government speech powers and the growing difficulty of having an open debate across political divides. We finish with Carlos’s criticisms of energy…
Monologue #12 | Is Albo Coming After Christianity?
Listened🎙 In this monologue of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I question the scrutiny of a Christian church group, call out what I see as double standards from Monique Ryan and the Teals, and break down my concerns about Anthony Albanese’s Digital Duty of Care proposal. From religious freedom and political donations to algorithms, likes, shares and comments, I explain why I believe Australians need to look closely at the powers being proposed in the name of online safety—and what they could mean for independent voices like mine. I also question Andrew Hastie and Angus Taylor over their response to the bill, talk about the cost-of-living pressure facing Australian families, and finish with an update on our national rally tour. If politicians want to understand why Australians are angry, they need to listen to the people struggling to keep a roof over their heads. 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Join Patreon:…
