Barnaby Joyce | When Government Decisions Hit Home

🎙 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.
