Australia at a Crossroads: Leadership, Power & Public Trust - EC6

27 Feb

Australia is not just choosing leaders.

It is choosing direction.

In EC #6, Emeka sits down with Rocco De Angelis, South Australian small business owner and One Nation state election candidate, for a direct and uncompromising conversation about leadership, governance, public trust, and the forces shaping Australia’s future.

Filmed inside Rocco’s own pizza shop in Adelaide, this episode goes beyond headlines and campaign slogans. Rocco shares why he stepped forward to run for public office, the frustrations that pushed him into politics, and why he believes everyday Australians must challenge the current political machine.

From housing affordability and cost of living pressures to law and order, political accountability, and party structures, this conversation examines what it really means to represent a community rather than climb a political ladder.

This is not rehearsed politics.

This is not media theatre.

This is a serious examination of leadership, responsibility, and whether real change is still possible within Australia’s system.

A central theme of this episode is responsibility. Not outrage. Responsibility.

• Why Rocco De Angelis is running in the SA state election

• Career politicians versus everyday Australians

• Cost of living and housing affordability
