🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Federal Member for Herbert and Afghanistan veteran Phil Thompson for a candid conversation about his service in Afghanistan, his transition into politics, the current state of Australia, and why he believes the Albanese Government must be defeated at the next election. Phil shares his experiences serving our country overseas, the lessons he brought into public life, and his views on the issues facing Australians today. We also discuss the direction of the nation, government policy, defence, cost of living, immigration, and what he believes needs to change to get Australia back on track. Whether you agree or disagree, this is an honest discussion about leadership, service, and the future of Australia. 🧭 In This Episode We Cover: 🇦🇺 Phil Thompson's service in Afghanistan 🎖 The transition from the Army to Federal Parliament 🏛 The current state of Australian politics 📉 Cost of living, immigration and national priorities ⚔️ Why Phil believes the Albanese Government must be defeated 🇦🇺 What the future could look like for Australia 💥 Support independent voices 🧢 Merch: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au 🤝 Join Patreon: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au/support 📺 Stay Connected YouTube: @2worldscollide Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast X: @2worldsPodcast Website: https://www.2worldscollide.com.au #2WorldsCollide #PhilThompson #AustralianPolitics #AfghanistanVeteran #AustralianArmy #Defence #CurrentAffairs #PoliticalPodcast #CostOfLiving #Immigration #AlbaneseGovernment #Australia #IndependentMedia #AustraliaFirst #Veterans
