And the men of 6RAR proved—once again—the grit and courage behind the badge. In this short clip, we dive into that very battle.

This week, I sat down behind the mic on my own to speak about something that’s been weighing heavy. What did I actually fight for? Because looking around… it doesn’t feel like the country I served. 💬 In this solo episode, I open up about: 👉 Why kids are being confused instead of protected 👉 How we’re failing young men by calling them toxic 👉 Why fairness in sport is being pushed aside 👉 How everyday Aussies are being locked out of the land they love 👉 What happens when free speech becomes risky 👉 Why so many people feel like strangers in their own country 👉 And the slow decay of the values we once stood for This is a raw, unfiltered chat. Not to cause outrage — but to raise awareness. To say what so many Aussies are thinking, but don’t feel they can say out loud. It’s not about politics. It’s about common sense. And if we don’t start speaking up — we’ll lose the very things that made this country worth fighting for. 📅 Full episode out now. 📢 Follow the Journey & Connect: 🌐 Website: www.2worldscollide.com.au 📱 Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast 🎙️ TikTok: @2.worlds.collide.podcast 📱 X: @2worldsPodcast 🔥 Watch & Subscribe: 📺 YouTube: /@2worldscollide 🎧 Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more “Silence Protects.
