2 Worlds Collide Podcast

(At the request of Joanna and James, I removed two short 5-second clips from this episode. I normally don’t do this, but respected the guests’ request on this occasion.)

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Dr Joanna Howe and James Howe for a direct, fiery, and challenging conversation about abortion laws, immigration, national identity, and the future of Australia.

We dive into Joanna’s pro-life bill currently being pushed through the South Australian Parliament — discussing the reasoning behind it, the public reaction, and why the debate around these issues has become so emotionally charged in modern Australia.

From there, the conversation shifts into immigration, culture, and the bigger question of “What is an Australian?” — leading to a passionate and at times intense debate starting around the 25-minute mark.

This wasn’t a safe or scripted conversation. There were disagreements, challenging moments, and tough exchanges — but that’s the point.

If Australians can’t openly debate difficult issues and still shake hands at the end, then we risk becoming a society driven by cancellation instead of conversation.

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Jacinta Price — Senator for the Northern Territory — for a direct and confronting conversation about the Australian budget, immigration, national identity, and where the country is heading.
