This week on Big Mum Energy, Ali sits down with influencer Ashy Anne for a bold, nuanced conversation about freedom of speech in Australia, the recent public protests, and what it really means to “have a voice” in 2026.
In a world of social media outrage, cancel culture and polarised opinions, where does free speech begin and where does responsibility come in?
Together they unpack:
🗣️ What freedom of speech actually means in Australia
🇦🇺 The recent Australian protests and why people are taking to the streets
⚖️ The difference between free speech and consequences
Why conversations feel more divided than ever
This episode isn’t about yelling louder it’s about thinking deeper.
Ali asks the uncomfortable questions:
Are we more informed or more reactive?
Is protest powerful or performative?
Can we disagree without destroying each other?
Raw, respectful and thought-provoking, this conversation is for anyone trying to navigate politics, social media, activism and modern discourse without losing their mind or their humanity.
Because Big Mum Energy doesn’t avoid hard conversations.
It leans into them.
