For my special Western Australia State Election 2025 series, I sat down with long-serving Liberal WA representative, the Hon. Nick Goiran MLC in Perth.
From guns to gender; child protection to electoral laws; and education to liberal philosophy, Nick describes what it has been like working in a government where voices like his have been ignored by the WA Labor Party, who has had absolute power in both houses of Parliament since 2021.
We also discussed the relationship between the Liberal Party and Nationals in WA, along with the importance of electing strong candidates in the Upper House where he currently serves.

For my last livestream from my dad's gun room in South Australia before I hit the long road back to Western Australia, I spoke about my experiences working within a system that stands in the way of advancing liberty.
From shooting organisations to political parties, it's been a never-ending battle as an individual who faces constant barriers that makes it so much harder to fight for justice for firearm owners and the people.
I answered a lot of questions this time and shared my stories and views on everything from self-defence, the Australian political landscape, the WA election, and much more!

A last-minute mid-week livestream to provide an important update on my Firearms Forum Town Hall event in WA that has now been cancelled! I explained why, including how once again my efforts to support shooters was derailed by politics and the culture within our organisations.
I also discussed the Freedom Of Information document that shows the WA Government's 50 cal stunt at the Pinjar range created serious risks to public safety (the hypocrisy is rife!), along with concerning news from South Australia about the future of pistol ranges.
There was an interesting question about Port Arthur, and I also detailed the latest news about the ballot draw ahead of the State Election.

I hosted my weekly live Q&A to share my thoughts on another big week in Western Australian politics ahead of the State Election!
I previewed my Firearms Forum Town Hall event to be held on February 27th with six candidates confirmed, and responded to more social media attacks from those involved in organising the WA Gun Rally (once again proving my point that the biggest attacks I get aren't from commies, but from the people who I'm fighting for!).
I also provided another update on my Legal Action campaign against Western Australia's gun laws and answered some questions from the audience!

I hosted my weekly live Q&A to provide an update on my Legal Action campaign against Western Australia's gun laws; my feelings and views on the tragic Floreat shootings that COULD have been avoided; and the Firearms Forum Town Hall event I've organised with candidates contesting the 2025 WA State Election.
I also answered some interesting questions about where I sit on the political spectrum (anarcho-capitalist!); my thoughts on WAPOL's Gun Rally (it will only benefit the cops, not us!); and shared some of my war stories from years of working in politics and gun rights advocacy!

My fellow South Aussie and hunting podcaster, Zach Williams, joined me for this live episode!
Zach is the host of Hunting Connection Podcast and has dedicated all of his spare time to educating others about our hunting traditions and sporting activities: so much so that he has been doxxed by anti-hunting activists!
Hear from Zach about how the bow hunting ban in SA has affected him and be inspired by his fighting spirit!

I have launched a legal action fundraiser against the State of Western Australia for its oppressive gun laws and hosted a live Q&A to explain the importance of mounting legal challenges instead of simply relying on a political solution.
I discussed the difference between my legal action and the other legal action that is being prepared; the political situation in WA and why I believe this legal advice is imperative to obtain so that we can flood the courts!

This was my first solo episode!
