🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Ben Duxson, a farmer from rural Victoria, for a raw, unfiltered conversation on land, livelihoods, and the growing conflict between government policy and the people who feed the country.

Ben is part of Farmers Fightback, a grassroots organisation pushing back against government policies that farmers say are threatening productive farmland in the name of the green energy agenda.

We unpack what’s happening on the ground — land acquisition pressures, renewable energy projects being forced into rural communities, and why farmers feel ignored, overridden, and sacrificed for political targets made far away from the paddock.

We also talk about the bigger picture: food security, rising costs, generational farming families under threat, and what happens when ideology replaces common sense.

This isn’t activism theatre. It isn’t political spin.

It’s a direct conversation with someone living the consequences of decisions made in city offices — and why farmers across Australia are saying enough is enough.

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Barnaby Joyce for a wide-ranging, unfiltered conversation on service, responsibility, and the growing crises facing everyday Australians.

Barnaby comes from a proud military family, and we begin by unpacking that history — what service, sacrifice, and duty have meant across generations, and how those values have shaped his view of leadership and country.

From there, we dive head-first into the cost-of-goverment crisis, the pressure on Australian families, and how government decisions have contributed to the economic strain people are feeling right now.

We also break down the energy crisis — soaring power prices, energy security, net-zero policy impacts, and why Australians are paying more while getting less certainty about the future.

This isn’t a rehearsed political appearance. It isn’t soundbites or spin.

It’s a direct conversation about accountability, consequences, and what happens when governments lose touch with the people they’re meant to serve.

🧭 In This Episode We Cover: 🎖️ Barnaby’s family military history and service 💰 The real cost-of-living pressures on Australians ⚡ Australia’s energy crisis and rising power bills 🏛️ Government decision-making and long-term consequences 🇦🇺 Responsibility, leadership, and national priorities 🗣️ Speaking plainly in a political culture built on avoidance

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Charlie Bakhos for a deep, unfiltered conversation on faith, conflict, and the narratives shaping what the world sees and what it ignores.

Charlie is a man of faith and commentator who isn’t afraid to speak openly about uncomfortable truths. In this episode, we unpack the Israel–Palestine conflict, the way it’s framed in mainstream media, and why certain realities are either distorted or completely left out of the conversation.

We also dive into a topic rarely spoken about: the persecution of Christians around the world, why it receives little media attention, who it affects, and what’s actually happening beyond the headlines.

At the centre of it all is Charlie’s faith, how it shapes his worldview, why he refuses to stay silent, and what it means to stand firm when holding these views comes at a cost.

This episode isn’t safe. It isn’t sanitised.

It’s an honest conversation about truth, belief, and the courage to speak when silence is easier.

🧭 In This Episode We Cover: 🇮🇱🇵🇸 The Israel–Palestine situation beyond the headlines 📰 Media narratives and selective outrage ✝️ Why Christian persecution is rarely discussed 🌍 What’s happening to Christians globally 🙏 Charlie’s faith and why it matters now more than ever ⚖️ Speaking truth in a world that rewards conformity
