#118 - George Mamalis (The Adelaide Set) - One Nation Is Reshaping Australian Politics

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with passionate Australian small business owner and economic commentator Joseph Daoud for a wide-ranging conversation about Australia's economy, the cost of living, housing affordability, banking and the political decisions affecting everyday Australians. We begin by exploring his journey from personal trainer to mortgage broker, including his experiences in banking, building a successful business and witnessing the financial pressures facing Australian families. The conversation then turns to the federal budget, the challenges facing small businesses, housing affordability and his experiences engaging directly with politicians in Canberra. We also discuss political accountability, the influence of mainstream media, the role of independent voices, government regulation and concerns surrounding online censorship. Finally, we explore financial literacy, Australia's education system, the Reserve Bank, interest rates and the growing importance of Australians understanding the economic decisions that shape their lives. 💥 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 #AustralianPolitics #AustralianEconomy #CostOfLiving #HousingAffordability #SmallBusiness #FederalBudget #InterestRates #FreeSpeech #IndependentMedia

We begin by discussing Sav's rapid growth on social media following his previous appearance, the impact of Bondi and the challenges of navigating political commentary online. The conversation then turns to the Epstein files, conspiracy theories, political movements and the influence of governments and media. We also explore international conflicts, including Taiwan, China, Russia and Ukraine, before discussing immigration, Australian culture, national identity and the growing divisions within society. Finally, we look at artificial intelligence and its potential impact on employment, political violence, government surveillance, Australia's energy policies and the influence of powerful figures shaping the future. 💥 **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 #Sav #AustralianPolitics #Bondi #FreeSpeech #AustralianIdentity #Immigration #ArtificialIntelligence #Geopolitics #IndependentMedia #Australia

🎙 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

🎙 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

🎙 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
