2 Worlds Collide Podcast · #96 - The Hon. John Ruddick - Government Trust, Immigration & Who Takes Power Next · 19 Apr 2026 podcast

Now, look, I know Angus a little bit and I like Angus and I know he's a smart guy and I know he's a good conservative and I think he'd be a pretty good Prime Minister.

Now, look, if it hadn't been for the One Nation surge, then I suspect that he wouldn't have come out with his immigration policy.

But he has.

And I'm saying, look, I don't care what the motive is.

I think in Angus's case he'd be more sincere than most Liberals, but I think it's really good news because, you know, Sam...

You can, I've said this a number of times, the most important policy to get right for any country, more important than anything, is the immigration policy.

Okay, now look, as a libertarian, I want really low taxes and really low regulations, okay, so businesses can flourish.

But if you have high taxes, which isn't good,

you can just cut them, right?

Or if there's too much regulations, you can cut them.

Now, it's not easy, but it's definitely doable.

With immigration, okay, I sort of think of it as like you're having a party at your house, a housewarming party.

You invite your family and your friends around, you're having a good time.

And the word gets around the suburb, hey, there's a really cool party on.

Okay, great.

Now,

you can't and then there might be a whole lot of people that want to turn up to the party and maybe some of those people aren't a good social fit for this party for whatever reason okay now then if the party's having everyone's having a great party a great time at the party the word's got around everyone wants to come and join the party well that's a credit to the party organizers okay but the party organizers are going to say at some point look okay thanks for your interest in the party but we're too full and if you come you're actually going to wreck the party now

With immigration, right, if we let people in here who are not going to be a good fit, and it might be our fault that they're not a good fit, but let's just say that they're not a good fit for whatever reason, it's really hard to do anything about it, okay, as Western Europe is seeing right now, as Donald Trump is seeing right now.

Donald Trump said, don't tell me I'm going to kick the 9 million illegals out.

Okay, look, I think they're doing their best, but, I mean, I think, what, have they kicked out 100,000, 200,000 or something?
