    Monologue #12 | Albo Is Coming After Christianity?

    🎙 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: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected YouTube: @2worldscollide Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast X: @2worldsPodcast Website: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au #2WorldsCollide #SamBamford #AnthonyAlbanese #DigitalDutyOfCare #FreeSpeech #AustralianPolitics #MoniqueRyan #Climate200

    🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Moira Deeming for a frank conversation about Victorian politics, women’s rights, her experience inside the Liberal Party and why she believes the major parties are failing ordinary Australians.

    #129 - Anthony Khallouf - The Digital Duty of Care Bill Explained

    🎙 In this episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, Anthony Khallouf is back in the studio, and this time we go through the Online Safety Amendment (Digital Duty of Care) Bill 2026 line by line. Anthony explains why he believes this is the old Misinformation and Disinformation Bill with a new name, why "protecting kids" doesn't add up when under-16s are already off social media, and why the real threat isn't prison but having your reach throttled until your account is worthless. We read the bill's actual wording on what counts as "harmful" content, including the catch-all clause that lets the government decide, and ask who qualifies as a "journalist" when podcasters and independent creators aren't listed. We also cover the minister's power over design features like share buttons, comments and DMs, and the section that lets the eSafety Commissioner and "approved researchers" run sock puppet accounts. Anthony also revisits his viral video predicting exactly how the bill would be rushed through Parliament and ticks off how much of it has come true. We react to David Shoebridge calling for political messages to be throttled, look at the new risk-assessment red tape for small businesses, and ask the question every Australian should ask: would you trust your worst political enemy with these powers? Finally, Anthony explains how to make a submission to the Senate inquiry before the bill is voted on. 🎥 Watch our episode with Michael Shellenberger on the same bill: https://youtu.be/P9j0wbPFEo8 👉 Follow Anthony: X - ausvstheagenda 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Join Patreon: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side   📺 Stay Connected YouTube: @2worldscollide Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast X: @2worldsPodcast Website: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au   #2WorldsCollide #AnthonyKhallouf #DigitalDutyOfCare #eSafety #FreeSpeech #Censorship #OnlineSafetyAct #AustralianPolitics

    #128 - Michael Shellenberger - Australia Is the Testing Ground for Censorship

    🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with award-winning journalist and Twitter Files reporter Michael Shellenberger, fresh from CPAC and two days of meetings in Canberra, to talk about the Digital Duty of Care Bill and what he calls the push for mass censorship in Australia. Michael shares what happened when he sat down with Labor Party staffers to discuss the bill, and why he believes they couldn't answer one simple question: what happens when the people you call "extremists" hold these powers? We dig into the part of the bill most people missed: government-authorised "sock puppet" accounts. Michael explains the history of fake accounts and bot narratives since 2016, why he sees Australia as a testing ground within Five Eyes, and what eSafety and Digital Rights Watch told him when he asked them to justify it. We also discuss the government going after the algorithm itself, the "My Feed, My Choice" campaign, why Michael believes framing censorship as "care" is so effective, and the government's response to the Bondi attack. Finally, we talk about Australia's "she'll be right" attitude, what Michael calls suicidal empathy, and why he believes free speech is the foundation Western civilisation is built on. 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/category/all-products 🤝 Join Patreon: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/s-projects-side-by-side 📺 Stay Connected YouTube: @2worldscollide Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast X: @2worldsPodcast Website: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au #2WorldsCollide #MichaelShellenberger #DigitalDutyOfCare #eSafety #FreeSpeech #Censorship #TwitterFiles #AustralianPolitics

    #127 - George Mamalis - Is Australia Losing It's Identity?

    🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with George Mamalis, South Australian Coordinator for Turning Point Australia, for a wide-ranging conversation about South Australian politics, free speech, national identity, history and Australia’s future. We discuss South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas and the state’s political direction, before turning to Anika Wells’ recent speech and Marco Rubio’s address in Athens. We also talk about Gina Rinehart and the reaction to the Welcome to Country speech at the Australia Cup, including the debate around booing and freedom of expression. The conversation then moves from Alexander the Great to one of today’s biggest long-term challenges: falling reproduction rates and what they could mean for the future of society. 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch: 2 Worlds Collide website 🤝 Join Patreon: 2 Worlds Collide Patreon 📺 Stay Connected YouTube: @2worldscollide Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast X: @2worldsPodcast Website: 2 Worlds Collide #2WorldsCollide #GeorgeMamalis #TurningPointAustralia #SouthAustralia #AustralianPolitics #FreeSpeech #WelcomeToCountry #Demographics #IndependentMedia #Australia
