Shooting The Breeze With Lady Liberty!

Shooting The Breeze About The State of Public Health, Saving Lives & Vapes!

For this episode I was once again graced by not one, but TWO courageous doctors who have bravely spoken out - and continue to speak out - against the mismanagement of our healthcare systems; the disastrous real-world consequences of failed policies; and what it's like being a doctor in a post-pandemic world.
Fellow West Australian, Dr Joe Kosterich, and fellow former libertarian political candidate, Dr Julian Fidge, joined me to discuss the topical issue of health, which affects all of us. From the state of public healthcare to the State's affect on the quality of service provided; to the relationship between government, the regulator, the medical industry and our medical professionals: Dr Joe and Dr Fidge share their unique insights and stories from the frontline.
I asked for their views on the death of seven-year-old Aishwarya at Perth Children's Hospital in 2021, with Dr Fidge recounting a shocking story of government mismanagement of a public hospital in Queensland that led to the death of a patient there. We also discuss the Australian Government's prohibition-by-prescription approach to vaping.
Guests:
Dr Joe Kosterich M.B.B.S (WA)  
Dr Julian Fidge FRACGP, BPharm, MBBS, Grad Dip App Sc (CompSc), MMed (Pain Management)
This episode is dedicated to Aishwarya Aswath Chavittupara.

Shooting The Breeze About the Medical Industrial Complex, the Anti-War Movement and USA Politics!

I had the absolute pleasure of getting to know my new friend and fellow advocate for liberty, Dr Irene Mavrakakis: an American doctor who is bravely speaking out against the Medical Industrial Complex in defense of bodily autonomy and medical freedom.
Irene and I spoke about her life as a doctor and how the conflicts of interests between governments, regulators and medical companies has directly affected the health of both people and the economy. She also calls out corrupt government officials, including Dr Fauci, for their part in using a crisis to mandate products that resulted in the biggest transfer of wealth and caused harm to some people.
We also spoke candidly about life, liberty and politics in the United States, including her involvement in the Rage Against The War Machine rally; her respect for the 2nd Amendment; and why she is backing Mike ter Maat to be the Libertarian Party Presidential Nominee.
Guests: Dr Irene Mavrakakis, M.D. (DE)

Shooting The Breeze About Life & Liberty in Argentina & Australia!

I had the pleasure of chatting with my friend and fellow advocate for liberty, Dr Melisa Albisetti, an Argentinian economist who now lives in my home state of South Australia!
Of course we spoke about the new Argentinian President and his plans to resurrect a country ruined by socialist/fascist ideas that has resulted in triple-digit inflation; an unsustainable welfare state; and the ruling class profiteering off of big government. We also spoke candidly (and passionately!) about life, liberty and politics in Argentina compared to Australia.
From the actress Eva Peron to the actor Javier Milei: both have inspired a nation and captured the attention of the world with their different philosophies. Argentina is a country to watch as the pendulum swings towards liberty and away from the State!
 

Shooting The Breeze About The State of Aussie Politics!

I'm joined by some mates from the former Australian Liberty Network, Stuart Jeffery from Ch 6 News and fellow West Aussie Bruce (@Centristozzy on X)  to talk about the absolute state of Australian politics!
Things are looking grim Down Under if you value liberty, individual freedom or small government: the Western Australian Labor Party Government continues to trample on property rights and civil liberties; while the Queensland Labor Party Government is tackling youth crime by banning the sale of knives to kids (because that will really work!).
We also discussed the federal government's addiction to cigarette taxes, with Australians forced to turn to the Medical Industrial Complex to access vapes via a prescription-only model. This comes as the debate around cannabis for recreational use once again demonstrate how politics (and politicians) are getting in the way of individual choices.
We also discussed the Australian libertarian political movement, including our own personal involvement and experiences, our views on Argentina's Javier Milei, and gun laws (of course!).

Shooting The Breeze About Argentina’s New Libertarian President!

I'm joined by Australia's libertarian politician in the New South Wales Parliament and my former Senate running mate, the Hon. John Ruddick MLC, to talk about the new libertarian President of Argentina!
From Peronism to anarcho-capitalism, President Javier Milei has shown just how far the pendulum can swing if a principled libertarian and popular candidate with appealing messaging can succeed: but how did Argentina get here?
As one of Australia's leading libertarians, J.R. is known for his impressive knowledge of history along with his understanding of political philosophy.  We discussed Argentina's political history and what comes next, along with how J.R is using his time in the NSW Parliament to further liberty in Australia, including his Free Speech Amendment to the NSW Constitution.
Guests:
John Ruddick - Member of the NSW Legislative Council representing the Liberal Democrats (Libertarian Party)

Shooting The Breeze About Guns, Government & Bad Laws!

I'm joined by the head of Australia's Firearm Owners United organization for a live chat about outrageous government proposals targeting law-abiding Western Australians who participate in legitimate shooting and hunting activities.
The proposals, outlined in a discussion paper put out for public feedback, include plans to limit the number of firearms lawful people own; will bring in dob-in-a-mate laws; and will see mental health and physical attributes as reasons to deny someone a firearms licence.
The proposals also include the ability for the Police to confiscate firearms or deny a person from using or owning one based on our views, opinion or attitudes!
Guests:
Michael Wood - President of Firearm Owners United

Shooting The Breeze About Israel, War & Government!

I'm joined by two mates and formidable forces from the Australian liberty movement, who share their unique perspective on the Israel-Palestine conflict from their own personal and family connections!
We also discuss governments controlling the narrative, including the Australian Governments push to become the arbiter of truth; this would give governments the ability to label any dissenting or disapproving voices as fake news!
Guests: Maya Tesa - Independent Libertarian & Parental Rights Advocate
Daniel Lewkovitz - Security Expert Commentator & Political Candidate

Shooting The Breeze: Guns, War & the USA!

I'm joined by two mates from the United States of America for a fascinating chat about Australian gun laws, the 2nd Amendment, our political systems and War!
