#84 - Cory Bernadi - Inside the Political Crisis Facing Australia

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with Cory Bernardi — former Australian Senator and current lead One Nation candidate for South Australia’s Legislative Council in the upcoming state election — for a direct and wide-ranging conversation about the future of Australia, the failures of modern politics, and the growing disconnect between government and everyday Australians.

Cory spent over a decade representing South Australia in the Federal Senate and became one of the most outspoken voices in Australian politics. During his time in Parliament he challenged the political establishment on issues including government spending, national sovereignty, cultural change, energy policy and the direction of the country.

After leaving the Liberal Party and founding the Australian Conservatives, Cory has now returned to the political arena as the lead One Nation candidate for the South Australian Legislative Council, running in the upcoming state election.

In this episode we break down the political landscape in Australia today — from the cost-of-living crisis and immigration policy to energy, national security, and the role of media in shaping public debate.

We also discuss Cory’s time inside Parliament, what really happens behind closed doors in Canberra, and why he believes many Australians are losing trust in both major political parties.

This is a serious, honest conversation about where Australia is heading — and whether the country can course-correct before it’s too late.
