In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Bethany Alvaro speaks with Isaac Ohlin, general manager of policy and services at RSL NSW, about the establishment of the Defence and Veterans' Service Commission – launched on 29 September 2025 in response to the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide (2021). The pair discuss the commission's purpose, challenges and impact on Australia's defence and veteran communities, including: The commission's role in providing independent oversight of the government's response to more than 100 royal commission recommendations. The urgency of addressing veteran suicide, with over 1,800 deaths since 1997, and the need for transparent, systemic reform. Barriers to timely action, including the complexity and sensitivity of suicide prevention within the defence ecosystem. The importance of cultural and systemic change within the ADF to promote help-seeking behaviour and improve wellbeing. The critical transition period for veterans leaving service – identifying gaps in support, responsibility between Defence and the Department of Veterans' Affairs, and the role of ex-service and community organisations in bridging those gaps. Measures of success for the commission, such as progress on recommendations, stakeholder engagement and, ultimately, a reduction in suicidality rates. Ways the broader community and employers can support veterans through understanding, inclusion and employment opportunities. Ohlin concludes that while the commission's creation is a positive and necessary step, "the hard work is still ahead", requiring collaboration across government, ex-service organisations and the wider public to deliver meaningful change.

6 - Canberra cannibalises ADF to pay for AUKUS by Australian Citizens Party

In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, host Steve Kuper is joined by Mark Gainsford and Matt Dodds of Systematic to discuss the digital transformation shaping the Australian Defence Force. The trio also examine how, in an era of renewed great power competition, the ADF must adapt to warfare defined by data, speed and contested information environments. They highlight that the pace of technological and operational change demands tools to cut through "information noise" and deliver decision superiority. Artificial intelligence and analytics can help achieve this, but only when paired with strong training and trust. Moving on, they discuss the importance of testing and refining AI through realistic digital simulations, enabling adaptation to changing conditions without the cost or risk of live training. They also talk about the role of digital infrastructure in preparing warfighters for degraded and contested communications environments, where jamming and disruption are common. Investing in resilient, upgradeable systems ensures the ADF maintains operational tempo and confidence in complex conditions. Finally, they discuss investing in sovereign digital infrastructure, trusted AI and realistic simulation today so the ADF can build the integrated, information-led force needed to out-think and outfight its adversaries – mastering in training what must never be learned in combat.

Австралија распоредува еден офицер за врска на ADF во новиот координативен центар предводен од САД во Израел за да го поддржи кревкиот прекин на огнот во Газа и мировниот план од 20 точки на претседателот Трамп.

A landmark class action has been filed against the Australian Defence Force, alleging widespread and systemic sexual violence, harassment and discrimination over the past two decades. The legal case represents potentially thousands of women who have served in the military, and today, we're breaking down everything you need to know about the allegations against the ADF.

In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, special returning host Liam Garman is joined by Lockheed Martin's Josh Woodward and Wayne Harrison to discuss the transformational impact of the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System for the Australian Defence Force. The trio discuss the range of ways HIMARS will serve as a significant transformation in Australia's approach to littoral and long-range strike warfare. They also discuss how HIMARS, when armed with precision-guided munitions such as the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System and the longer-range Army Tactical Missile System – and soon to be integrated with the Precision Strike Missile – enables land forces to engage high-value targets at ranges exceeding 500 kilometres. This blurs traditional boundaries between land and maritime domains, allowing the Army to contribute meaningfully to joint strike missions once reserved for the Air Force or Navy. Finally, they discuss how HIMARS is more than an artillery platform – it represents a strategic enabler within an integrated joint fires network. When linked with persistent surveillance, space-based sensors, and command-and-control systems, HIMARS provides the ADF with a flexible, scalable, and responsive strike capability.

The episode delves into Renee's journey with intermittent fasting, driven by menopausal weight gain, and her discovery of intermittent fasting as a sustainable lifestyle. Renee shares her experiences, starting from her initial struggles with weight fluctuations to the positive changes she observed in her body and overall health since adopting an intermittent fasting lifestyle three years ago.Renee recounts the dramatic life events and stressors she has faced, including her son's battle with cancer and its recurrence. Despite these challenges, she found strength and a sense of control through intermittent fasting. Her story emphasizes the power of resilience and community support, and how fasting has helped her maintain stability and well-being during high-stress periods. Additionally, Renee discusses the importance of fitness and how it's intertwined with her fasting journey, offering insights into her exercise routines and the benefits of maintaining muscle mass and bone strength as we age.For those starting with intermittent fasting, Renee advises treating it as a new lifestyle rather than a temporary plan. She emphasizes that even if weight loss seems slow, the internal benefits are significant and transformative. It's vital to remain patient and consistent, knowing that the body is continuously working on improvements that aren't always visible. Her message is one of optimism and encouragement, urging new fasters to stay the course and trust the process for lasting health and wellness benefits.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Hiệp ước puk puk sẽ chứng kiến việc Úc đầu tư hàng triệu đô la vào lực lượng quốc phòng của Papua New Guinea. Một phần then chốt của thỏa thuận là việc thành lập lực lượng đặc nhiệm nhằm tuyển dụng công dân PNG vào Lực lượng Quốc phòng Úc (ADF), song động thái này đã vấp phải chỉ trích từ các cựu quân nhân PNG cho rằng hiệp ước có thể gây hại, bởi PNG không cùng chia sẻ nỗi lo ngại của Úc về Trung Quốc.

She shares her lifelong struggle with weight despite being sporty and active in her early years. Significant weight gain occurred during a high school exchange in Japan, leading to an ongoing battle with maintaining a healthy weight, exacerbated by knee injuries and surgeries. Joanne explored a few diets, including calorie counting and hypnotherapy, with little success. Her breakthrough came in August 2022, when she discovered intermittent fasting through Gin's book, Delay, Don't Deny, leading to a steady and sustainable weight loss journey. Joanne highlights the psychological and physical benefits she experienced, including improved emotional balance, stronger physical fitness, and the ability to enjoy activities like stick fighting and yoga. Her story also touches on family support and how intermittent fasting has fit seamlessly into her lifestyle. Joanne's advice for newcomers to intermittent fasting is to approach the journey with self-love and patience. It is essential to adopt intermittent fasting for oneself and not others, finding a supportive community can be invaluable. While the weight may not fall off quickly, the non-scale victories and improved well-being are worth the effort. Be kind to yourself, give it time, and remember that persistence is key.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html. Good news!

If Europeans have been swiftly divesting themselves of real amphibious capability, the reverse has been true of the ADF in recent years. Ray Leggatt, the first true Commander Amphibious Task Force of the Australian Amphibious Force, talked through his experience in putting together an amphib capability for a state that had not done this sort of operation in a couple of generations. Ray provides a remarkably honest and frank set of assessments about the capability when he was CATF, the essential trust and relationship needed with the Commander Landing Force (CLF), and the realities of doctrine versus practicality necessary to make a nascent capability tangible.

She shares her journey from being a strong athlete growing up to her struggles with weight that began during a two-year missions trip in South America, and continued as she experienced post-pregnancy weight gain. Sonja began intermittent fasting in 2020, and had initial success, losing 20 pounds, but the challenges that arose during a family crisis led her to stop fasting consistently for a significant period of time. Finally, in early 2025, she felt ready to resume the IF lifestyle.Sonja talks about the benefits she experienced with intermittent fasting, such as having more energy, fewer UTIs, and improved dental health. Despite the setbacks, when Sonja found her way back to intermittent fasting in early 2025, she rediscovered the numerous non-scale victories that her body greatly enjoyed. She emphasizes how Alternate Day Fasting (ADF) helped her break through a weight loss plateau, offering her greater flexibility and satisfaction by accommodating her social life better.For new intermittent fasters, Sonja advises tapping into resources like Gin's podcasts and books to stay informed and motivated. She highlights the importance of experimenting with different fasting methods to find what fits both physically and emotionally. Most importantly, she encourages listeners to be kind and gracious with themselves during challenging times, knowing that intermittent fasting is a sustainable and flexible lifestyle change that can always be resumed when they're ready.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

He shares his long journey with weight loss and how intermittent fasting transformed his life, helping him lose 60+ pounds, from a high of 265 pounds. Through various trials with different diet methods over the years and even medical prescriptions, James has found intermittent fasting to be the key to achieving his health goals.James delves deep into how he first encountered intermittent fasting over a decade ago. Initially skeptical, his real transformation began around seven to eight years ago when traditional calorie counting and diet attempts failed to yield lasting results. This led him to explore intermittent fasting more seriously. His thorough research into the health benefits related to autophagy, neuroplasticity, and overall metabolic health convinced him to adopt this lifestyle.Throughout James's discussion, he highlights significant improvements in his health metrics, such as reducing his blood pressure and BMI, as well as the challenges he faced from skeptical family members and friends. Despite initial resistance, especially from his wife and children in the medical field, James stood by his commitment to intermittent fasting. He prefers natural and wholesome meals, and keeps his window flexible while also remaining consistent. His success story serves as an inspiration for those facing similar opposition in their health journeys.James's advice for those starting with intermittent fasting is to know your 'why.' Understanding the personal reasons and health goals behind adopting intermittent fasting is crucial for staying committed. He encourages beginners to start with achievable goals, like a 12-hour fast, and gradually extend their fasting windows. James also recommends utilizing resources like Gin's 28-Day Fast Start book to ease into the process and find support in the intermittent fasting community.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Triple J works for the federal government, he's a minister at his church, and he wears a lot of other hats, as well. Triple J shares his inspiring journey of health transformation through intermittent fasting and lifestyle changes. Starting from a background of spiritual fasting, Triple J faced significant health challenges, including type two diabetes and a high A1C level. Through a combination of keto and intermittent fasting, he successfully lowered his A1C and ultimately came off all medications and put his diabetes into remission. He discusses the importance of clean fasting, listening to his body, and adapting his diet to maintain his health. The conversation also touches on his heart surgery and the ongoing journey of recovery and family legacy. At one point in his journey, Triple J experienced some self-sabotage, and he needed to work through that challenge. He explains how community support has been instrumental in achieving health goals. He emphases the power of mindset and having patience in the process. Triple J highlights the significance of sharing experiences within a supportive community and offers encouragement for those starting their own health journeys. As the episode ends, Triple J tells new intermittent fasters to be patient—with both yourself, and the process. Don't try to do everything all at once, and know that good things take time and can't be rushed.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html. Good news!

She remembers first being self-conscious about her weight at the age of 7, and that set her on a path of not feeling confident in her body. Despite these struggles, she was always health and fitness focused. Even so, after going through menopause, she found herself at 197 pounds in December of 2023, and she knew she needed to make a change. Watching her parents struggle with both health and mobility later in life made her determined to keep herself strong and healthy, but she lost confidence that she could lose the weight she had put on. In April of 2024, Suzanne was listening to the Fit Strong Women podcast, where she first encountered Gin, who was a guest. Intrigued, she read Fast Feast Repeat immediately, and started fasting. She didn't have confidence that IF would work for her, but by July/August of that year, her clients suddenly started asking her if she was losing weight. That gave her more confidence, and now, a year later, Suzanne is down around 50 pounds. She is no longer on two medications she used to take, and she feels amazing. She shares intermittent fasting with her clients when they are receptive.Suzanne's parting advice to new intermittent fasters: know that it takes time, and understand that you won't feel your best for the first couple of weeks.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Monica recounts her initial exposure to fasting through a friend's success story, her struggles with emotional eating stemming from a chaotic childhood, and the impact of her mother's gastric bypass surgery. She discusses her own weight loss journey, including how it felt to get up to her highest weight of 330 pounds at the age of 24, which led her to her own weight loss surgery, then struggles with addiction, and getting sober. Ultimately, Monica rediscovered the principles of intermittent fasting through Dr. Fung's The Obesity Code, leading to a renewed focus on health and wellness. This led her to Gin's work, and the clean fast. Monica shares her transformative journey with intermittent fasting, detailing her initial struggles, the adaptations she made, and the significant health improvements she experienced. She emphasizes the importance of finding a sustainable approach to nutrition and exercise, and how her family has embraced these changes together. She loves ADF, and it works well for her life. Monica also discusses the empowerment that comes from teaching her children about healthy eating and listening to their bodies, ultimately leading to a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. To end the episode, Monica tells listeners to give yourself permission to make mistakes, and simply don't stop. Instead, keep going.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Alexis discusses her initial misconceptions about fasting, her transition to clean fasting, and the significant weight loss she experienced through her 28-Day Fast Start. Alexis also shares her experiences of adjusting her fasting schedule around her demanding work as a nurse, including her exploration of alternate-day fasting (ADF) to accommodate her unique schedule. Gin and Alexis discuss the concept of Alternate Day Fasting (ADF), its effectiveness, and the importance of understanding individual needs when choosing a fasting protocol. Alexis shares her journey of weight loss, the challenges she faced with her eating window, and how she navigated her work schedule while maintaining her health. The discussion also touches on the physical transformations that come with weight loss and the joy of experimenting with food, as Alexis is currently mastering the art of baking homemade sourdough bread. The conversation also touches on non-scale victories, the importance of inspiring others through personal change, and practical advice for those starting their intermittent fasting journey.

It's Wednesday, August 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslim Nigerians killed 7,000 Christians this year A Nigerian-based nonprofit reports Islamic extremists have killed over 7,000 Christians in the country so far this year. The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law also found that nearly 8,000 Christians were violently seized and abducted.  The report notes this translates into “an average of 30 Christian deaths per day and more than one per hour.” Since 2009, Jihadists in Nigeria have killed over 125,000 Christians and destroyed nearly 20,000 church buildings.  Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. The country is ranked seventh on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Absurd charges dropped against Scottish pro-life grandmother Authorities in Scotland dropped charges against a 75-year-old grandmother who was arrested for holding a sign near an abortion mill.  Back in February, Rose Docherty held a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” Officials arrested her for violating a “buffer zone” law that restricts free expression near abortion mills. Docherty reacted to her case being dropped. She said, “This is a victory not just for me, but for everyone in Scotland who believes we should be free to hold a peaceful conversation.” Conservative Canadian Pierre Poilievre wins election In Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre (pronounced PAH-lee-ev) won a special election in the province of Alberta on Monday.  Poilievre heads back to Canada's parliament after losing his seat earlier this year. He will continue his work as the opposition leader against Canada's ruling Liberal Party. Listen to comments from Poilievre. POILIEVRE: “We will work together. We will fight together. We will sacrifice together to restore the opportunity that our grandparents left for us, so that we can leave it for our grandchildren, so that we can once again restore a country that is strong, self-reliant and sovereign. That is why we stay united. That is why we go forward. May God keep our land glorious and free.” Trump wants to end mail-in ballots In the United States, President Donald Trump said Monday that he wants to end mail-in ballots as well as voting machines. Listen to comments from Trump.  TRUMP:  “You can never have a real democracy with mail in ballots. We, as a Republican Party, are going to do everything possible that we get rid of mail-in ballots. We're going to start with an executive order, that's being written right now by the best lawyers in the country, to end mail-in ballots because they're corrupt.” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “With their HORRIBLE Radical Left policies, like Open Borders, Men Playing in Women's Sports, Transgender and ‘WOKE' for everyone, and so much more, Democrats are virtually Unelectable without using this completely disproven Mail-In SCAM.” Bank of America will stop "debanking" conservatives The New York Post reports that Bank of America scrapped a rule used to “debank” conservatives. Major banks have also used the rule to deny services to religious groups, especially Evangelical ones.  JP Morgan Chase dropped the rule last year. Bank of America finally followed suit.  Jeremy Tedesco with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Over the past two years, ADF and our partners in both the private and public sectors have repeatedly engaged with Bank of America's leadership to advocate for this change.” Fewer Americans are moving The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S. domestic migration rates are down. Only 7.9% of Americans relocated to a new town or city last year, down from about 20% in the 1950s and 60s. The rate has been steadily declining since then. People are also moving less within their own county. That rate is down 47% over the past three decades.  The falling domestic migration rates are associated with high mortgage rates, dual-income households, an aging population, and remote job opportunities.  Church-engaged Christians have less stress, anxiety, and loneliness And finally, the American Bible Society released the fifth chapter of its State of Bible: USA 2025 report. The chapter measured church engagement as the level of a person's involvement in the life, mission, and community of a local church. Only 34% of self-identified Christians attend church weekly. In terms of generations, Gen Z had the lowest levels of church engagement. Women, married people, Evangelicals, and people in small cities were more likely to be highly engaged with their church. John Plake with the American Bible Society said, “Our survey shows that church-engaged Christians have significantly less stress, less anxiety, less loneliness, and more hope.” Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

She shares her early struggles with disordered eating, dieting yo-yo cycles, and the eventual discovery of fasting as a sustainable lifestyle. She discusses her early experiences with food, the impact of societal pressures on body image, and how intermittent fasting transformed her relationship with food and health over the years. She reflects on her experiences during the pandemic, how her body has changed over time, and the strategies she has adopted to maintain a healthy lifestyle. She emphasizes the importance of understanding hunger cues and the mental load associated with traditional dieting, ultimately finding freedom in fasting. In this conversation, Korynn shares that her five-year journey with intermittent fasting has come with the challenges of binge eating due to emotional triggers, and the importance of having the mindset "consistency over perfection". Korynn emphasizes the significance of mindset shifts and the lessons learned throughout her journey, ultimately highlighting that health is a continuous process that requires daily commitment. She ends the episode by encouraging listeners to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html. Good news!

Rachel and her husband run AJ's Yacht Service in southern Florida, and Rachel also works as a corporate registered nurse. The conversation begins with a glimpse into Rachel's health journey, exploring her long history with weight fluctuations, various diets, and her eventual disillusionment with perpetual dieting. She shares how becoming a mother and reflecting on her energy levels inspired her to prioritize wellness and strength over simply chasing a number on the scale.Rachel recounts her initial exposure to intermittent fasting back in 2017, driven by her husband's interest, but she admits she wasn't ready for it at the time, remaining skeptical as a health professional. It wasn't until 2022, when she was researching anti-aging strategies and holistic wellness, that intermittent fasting resurfaced as a method worth considering. By that point, Rachel had already lost a substantial amount of weight, and her primary motivation for intermittent fasting was its potential for health and longevity rather than weight loss alone. She describes how adopting functional fitness and shifting her mindset led to sustainable changes, allowing her to model a healthy, positive lifestyle for her young daughter.Throughout the episode, Rachel reflects on the importance of mindset, discipline, and personal development, emphasizing that intermittent fasting became part of a broader self-care and self-love journey. She is candid about her ups and downs, including periods of weight regain and her experimentation with alternate daily fasting (ADF). Rachel also highlights the freedom she has gained—freedom from food obsession, food guilt, and diet challenges—by listening to her body and embracing a flexible fasting window, typically from mid-afternoon to early evening. She mentions the numerous non-scale benefits she's noticed, such as improved sleep, better metabolic health, and increased resilience, and how her approach to nutrition is now much more intuitive and enjoyable.As the episode concludes, Rachel encourages newcomers to intermittent fasting not to adopt an extreme approach from the start. She reminds listeners that the process does not have to be perfect or rigid—starting small and focusing on building belief and understanding is key. Rachel's final advice is to do your research, engage with supportive communities, and don't feel pressured to conform to others' expectations or share your new lifestyle before you're ready; above all, intermittent fasting is a personal journey, offering sustainable health and true freedom for those who stick with it.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.

Tatsiana shares her unique and humorous entry into intermittent fasting—prompted by wanting to match her stated weight on a life insurance application after a festive Fourth of July. She recounts her quick initial weight loss, how a serendipitous YouTube video introduced her to Gin's book Fast Feast Repeat, and her realization that a “clean fast” made a difference. Tatsiana describes that, although she never struggled significantly with her weight growing up in Belarus, moving to America exposed her to a drastically different food culture and led to weight fluctuations, especially after having children.Tatsiana reminisces about her childhood in Belarus with seasonal, simple foods, and homemade sweets being the norm. She contrasts this experience with her first exposure to America's abundance of processed foods and shares how returning home helped her effortlessly lose the weight she'd gained during her stay. The conversation naturally moves to food traditions—like gardening and preserving homegrown vegetables at her family's summer house (dacha)—and reflects on how these habits cultivated appreciation for natural, unprocessed foods. Tatsiana finds it amusing that what was once a necessity is now recognized as the foundation for a healthy lifestyle.Her health journey gained depth when she started to focus on what foods make her feel best and support her long-term well-being. Tatsiana opens up about testing various diet strategies like Whole30, experimenting with plant-based cooking inspired by Dr. Fuhrman, and participating in Zoe's program to learn more about her body. She shares insights from wearing a continuous glucose monitor, revealing how her body handles sugar and fats, and describes small but significant lifestyle upgrades, such as switching to cleaner water and crowding out processed snacks with vegetables. Tatsiana explains that intermittent fasting, once started for weight loss, gradually led her to a sustainable pattern of eating that emphasizes health and nourishment over dieting.To wrap up, Tatsiana offers encouragement to those just starting out: arm yourself with knowledge and do intermittent fasting the right way—she especially recommends reading Fast Feast Repeat for clear guidance. Tatsiana emphasizes that it's all about making steady progress with small, lasting changes, not perfection or overnight results. Most importantly, she reminds listeners that this is a lifestyle, not a diet to start and stop, and urges everyone to approach fasting and healthier living one baby step at a time.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html.
