#55 - Andrew Hastie - From the Battlefield to Parliament — The Future of Australia

🎙 In This Hard-Hitting Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Andrew Hastie — a former SAS Captain turned Federal MP, and one of the sharpest voices in Australia on defence, politics, and national security.

From leading soldiers on the battlefield in Afghanistan to now leading debates in Parliament, Andrew’s story is as tough as it is inspiring — and he doesn’t hold back when it comes to calling out hard truths.

We dive into:
🎖 His journey from the SAS to the Australian Parliament — and the lessons from combat that shaped his politics
⚔️ National security, foreign influence & the growing threat landscape Australia faces
⚡ The energy sector — what went wrong, and how to fix our power future
💸 The national debt, reckless government spending & why the budget is spiralling out of control
🇦🇺 The future of Australia — what needs to change before it’s too late

This is a raw, straight-talking conversation with a bloke who’s seen war, seen politics, and is fighting to make sure Australia is ready for what’s coming.
