#88 - 2WC Debate: Drew Pavlou vs Will Mitchell | Foreign Influence, Israel/Iran & What is Australia First?

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, we host the first ever 2 Worlds Collide Debate — featuring Drew Pavlou and Will Mitchell — for a direct, unfiltered discussion on some of the most controversial and divisive issues shaping Australia and the world right now.

This isn’t your typical podcast — this is a head-to-head debate, where both sides go deep on topics that most platforms won’t touch.

Drew Pavlou and Will Mitchell go back and forth on foreign influence and lobbying within Australian politics, the complexities of the Israel–Iran conflict, the meaning and implications of Zionism, and what it truly means to put “Australia First.”

In this episode, we step away from one-sided narratives and allow both perspectives to be heard — challenging ideas, questioning assumptions, and diving into the conversations many people are thinking about but not openly having.

This is a raw, honest and at times intense debate about geopolitics, national identity, and the direction of Australia.
