• What Did You Do When It Mattered
    Feb 23 2026

    The future isn’t shaped by opinions. It’s shaped by people willing to risk something for what they believe is true.

  • Real Rebellion Starts Here
    Feb 23 2026

    Real Rebellion Starts Here

    Start here. Watch this. Share it. Talk about it. Stop pretending nothing can change.

    If you are young, or just sick of the status quo, this is where real rebellion begins. Forget marches. They are too easily ignored.

    Big media, big business, government bureaucrats, and career politicians will hate these ideas because they threaten the system they profit from.

  • Optional Enforcement Is the Start of Authoritarianism
    Feb 22 2026

    Authoritarianism doesn’t begin with tanks.

    It begins when enforcement becomes optional.

  • Preferential Voting, Party Power & The Death of Real Democracy in Australia
    Feb 18 2026

    Australia is in decline — and so is the wider West.

    This is not a slow political cycle.

    This is not partisan theatre.

    This is a civilisational shift.

    In this episode of Honest and Open Conversations, we examine:

    – The structural impact of preferential voting

    – The erosion of representative democracy in Australia

    – Party factional control over elected officials

    – Constitutional accountability and the role of the Governor-General

    – Judicial activism and constitutional interpretation

    – Media misinformation and COVID-era accountability

    – Radical ideology, terrorism, and political cowardice

    – Elite institutional capture

    – The collapse of responsibility in leadership

    The central thesis is simple:

    Power has been severed from responsibility.

    And until responsibility is reinstated, decline is inevitable.

    This episode is not descriptive.

    It is prescriptive.

    We outline 12 structural reforms designed to restore accountability across:

    • Electoral systems

    • Political donations

    • Campaign truth laws

    • Media accountability

    • Judicial responsibility

    • National policing

    • Energy sovereignty

    • Self-defence rights

    • Transparency laws

    • Political remuneration

    This is a wake-up call.

    If you care about:

    Australian politics

    Free speech

    The Australian Constitution

    Political accountability

    Western civilisation

    Leadership integrity

    Media responsibility

    Government transparency

    Watch this episode in full before forming your judgment.

    History does not ask what you believed.

    It asks what you did.

  • Faith, Power, and the Survival of Western Civilization
    Feb 14 2026

    Once the Church compromises, the state stops pretending.

    It rewrites morality, redefines truth, and regulates conscience.

    No Judeo-Christian foundation.

    No limits on power.

    History has already shown us how that ends.

  • This Isn’t Corporate Media
    Feb 12 2026

    Honest and Open Conversations was born at pub tables, not in studios.

    Where real people talk without filters.

    The conversations that matter are uncomfortable.

    And I made a promise I’ll never stay silent again.

  • He Didn’t Threaten the Left. He Threatened the System.
    Feb 11 2026

    The panic wasn’t about policy. It was about power.

    When Trump stepped onto that escalator, it wasn’t Democrats who panicked first. It was the permanent political class. Career politicians. Bureaucrats. Media gatekeepers. The system.

    He wasn’t meant to win. He wasn’t meant to survive. And he definitely wasn’t meant to expose how insulated the ruling class had become.

    Love him or hate him, the reaction told you everything.

    It wasn’t about left vs right.

    It was insiders vs the public.

  • China, America, and the Betrayal of Australia
    Feb 10 2026

    Australia isn’t drifting into danger. We’re being walked there.

    China tests strength. Weakness invites aggression.

    And our leaders are handing over sovereignty with a smile.

    This isn’t leadership. It’s betrayal.
