Shooting The Breeze With Mike ter Maat: Libertarian Presidential Candidate!

An exceptional guest for this episode with Presidential Candidate for the Libertarian Party, Mike ter Maat, shooting the breeze with me about the dire state of politics and freedom in both our countries
Mike is an Austrian-School Libertarian Economist & Pro-Reform Police Officer. He is running on a platform of a Gold New Deal, Ending the Fed, Police & Criminal Justice Reform, and Peace & Prosperity, to name a few.
We covered a lot: from ending the war on drugs to economic freedom through ending the Fed; to the erosion of liberties (despite the Bill of Rights) and what it was like being a serving officer in Florida during those dark years.
He outlined what he would do if he was elected as the next President for the United States of America, including changing the direction of foreign policy, along with monetary policy.
Hats off to Mike and his team, I have hope for the USA with people like Mike using his wisdom and experience as an economist and former public servant to educate us all about how liberty is the answer!

Shooting The Breeze About Australia's Gun Laws With Ozzie Reviews!

A very special guest for this live episode of Shooting The Breeze with my dear friend, fellow advocate for shooters and number one gun reviewer in Australia, Ozzie Reviews, joining me to talk about guns!
Ozzie and I sat down at his idyllic property in Queensland to share our views, frustrations, ideas, recommendations and thoughts on Australia's gun laws; the shooting organisations; what happened in Western Australia; and the upcoming Queensland State Election.
We gave our advice on what shooters can do to protect and promote our sport among the wider community. We also shared why we both dedicate so much of our time and energy to fight for our guns (even when it's at great personal cost and risk!).

Shooting The Breeze With Rick Munn: Locked & Loaded!

A very special guest for this episode of Shooting The Breeze with my citizen journalist colleague, mentor and friend joining me for a deep discussion about the State of the World and important on-going fight for liberty!
Rick Munn, host of live current affairs chat show Locked & Loaded on TNT Radio, first interviewed me on his show on 15 February, 2022 during my WA Senate campaign; in this interesting discussion on my show, Rick shared his informative firsthand insights into the goings on in the world.
From Northern Ireland, Rick and I spoke about the current political and social conditions affecting his home in the U.K, along with his perspectives on governments and the power shift and control-grabs during the last few years, with a battle between good and evil now raging.
We also despaired at the traditional left movement, particularly in the music scene, who used to be proudly anti-authoritarian, anti-war, and marching for rights to free speech, today siding with the very movement and beliefs they used to object!
This is one of my favourite episodes to date as it shows the incredibly inspiring individuals doing their bit for liberty elsewhere in the world!

Shooting The Breeze About New Bad Australian Gun Laws!

New gun laws introduced by the Western Australian State Labor Party Government this month have been tabled, with the almost absolute majority Government giving the Police sweeping new powers to control and further limit the number of West Australians who want to own a firearm.
The President of Shooters Union Australia, Graham Park, and number one gun reviewer Ozzie Reviews joined me to discuss some of the more sinister aspects of the new laws, and how we are now at the point in Australia where shooters are openly vilified, over-policed and subjected to some of the most draconian laws on the books - for next to nil public safety benefit!
We discussed how the new laws cast in to doubt freedom of political expression with someone's views, opinions or attitudes factored in to the fit & proper person test as part of the vetting process. This formed another discussion about the current gun confiscation program that just happens to coincide with their proposal to limit the number of firearms a person can own (just 5 for most, 10 for farmers). We also spoke about mental health checks, and how this could affect everyday Australians who face tough times; veterans with PTSD; or with women with post-natal depression.
We discussed how the apathy of shooters has led to this point in our history, and how we shouldn't shy away from talking openly about our sport and hunting traditions to educate others. We agreed that unity and good promotion of our community is needed in order to win the fight to keep our culture and sport.
Graham also provided insight in to the upcoming Queensland State Election and what party's and political candidates are on the side of shooters, including the Katter;'s Australian Party.

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 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.
