Episode One dives straight into the conversations many Australians are having; but not always openly. From the controversy at a recent ANZAC Day dawn service, where a man "booed" during a Welcome to Country, the hosts unpack what this moment represents from multiple angles. What does a Welcome to Country mean to Indigenous Australians? Why does it resonate deeply for some, while others question its place in national events.
This episode doesn't shy away from tension. It explores the balance between respect, traditions, and freedom of speech, while also giving a voice to differing perspectives; including the often unspoken views held by some white Australians.
The discussion then shifts to the highly publicised case of Ben Roberts-Smith, examining what it truly means to serve your country. The hosts question how we define heroism, accountability, and loyalty, and whether Australia adequately supports its servicemen and women; both during their time and after their time in uniform.
Raw, thought-provoking, and unfiltered. Episode One sets the tone for a podcast that isn't afraid to sit in the grey areas and ask the hard questions.
