What happens when a straight-talking boilermaker with real-world experience in gas, coal, and agriculture steps into the halls of power? In this episode, you’ll hear a raw, no-filter conversation about politics, work, and life from someone who built a career with their hands long before they ever set foot in parliament. Colin shares why so many modern politicians are out of touch with everyday Australians, how a lack of genuine business and life experience leads to bad decisions, and why representing Central Queensland means understanding the realities of mining, resources, heavy industry, and agriculture – not just reading about them in briefing notes.
