Dr Brendan Nelson was Liberal Party leader and Leader of the Opposition in Australia in 2007-08. After he retired from politics, he became Director of the Australian War Memorial, and has a masterly knack of sharing the stories of this country's military heroes. The feature speech here was delivered in 2014 at a Soldier On charity fundraiser. Tony's cohost for this episode, comedian and Utopia star Anthony 'Lehmo' Lehmann was MC that night, and watched in awe as Dr Nelson explained the significance of a George Lambert print and its special frame, and watched bidding rocket from $1000 to $40,000 immediately. Lehmo says it is the greatest speech he ever saw live. The original audio is not available but Dr Nelson told the story as part of his 'five most significant artifacts at the Australian War Memorial' section of his Howard Oration in 2021, and that audio is included.  There is also some beautiful singing at the end of this 50th episode of the podcast, by Private Ken Gant who was killed at the Battle of Long Tan, and recorded a song for his mother the day before he was deployed.  /If you enjoy Speakola please do one or more of the things that help poidcasts:  Tell someione; Rate or review us in iTunes, or support me financially.

U.S. and Australian forces have fought side-by-side in every major conflict since World War I, and some 60,000 Australian service members served in the Vietnam War. August 18 is Vietnam Veterans Day in Australia, and in honor of that commemoration we bring you the personal story of an Australian helicopter pilot who served in Vietnam in 1970 and '71.

John MacKenzie chats with General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK AC (Mil) CVO MC (Retd) about Vietnam Veteran's Day and the Legacy Gala Dinner coming up on September 2nd this year. After a caller's suggestion, John proposed pairing the historical significance of the battle of Long Tan with the battle of Coral/Balmoral. Cyclone Larry was also remembered, as Sir Cosgrove headed the task force in 2006 that saw the cleanup of ravaged towns in Far North Queensland, in particular the town of Innisfail.

GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Chris Merritt is Vice President of the Rule of Law Institute of Australia. GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: John Ruddick grew up in Tamworth and then spent two years working on an outback farm. From 1991 to 1995 he studied history at the University of Sydney and then commenced as a staffer for Ross Cameron MP in the early days of the Howard Government. He had been an active member of the NSW Liberal Party and championed democratic reform of that party. In 2018 he published "Make the Liberal Party Great Again" which was a blueprint on how to optimally democratise an Australian political party in the 21st century. In mid-2021 he joined the Liberal Democrats after his disappointment with the Morrison and Berejiklian governments and their over-reaction to COVID-19 and the associated government debt. John has written op-eds for most of Australia's leading newspapers and has appeared frequently on Sky News and occasionally on ABC. John and his wife run a mortgage broking business. GUEST 3 OVERVIEW: Dave Sabben MG, a Vietnam Veteran, was commander of 12 Platoon during the 1966 iconic Battle of Long Tan. He is author of "Mentions In Despatches”, endorsed by Sir Peter Cosgrove and former Australian War Memorial Director, Brendan Nelson.

This mini ep takes a look at music royalty Col Joye and the Joy Boys and the time they had to hold the attention of an 8000 strong crowd waiting for Johnny Cash to arrive at the stadium. The band was at the very start of rock n roll in Australia and they are true pioneers. In this era, Col Joy and the Joye Boys popularity and chart success is only rivalled by that of Johnny O'Keefe and the Dee Jays. They also hold the distinction being the first Australian act to have a Number 1 record with Bye Bye Baby. You can hear more from Col in our episode on Bye Bye Baby which is episode 5 – there is also another mini ep on the time Col was playing for our troops at the Vietnam War, when suddenly he found himself at the Battle of Long Tan.

This mini episode is on Aria Hall of famer, Col Joye and the time he found his himself in Vietnam during the war and right smack in the middle of the Battle of Long Tan. For the full story of Col's experiences performing during the Vietnam War period check out episode 34.

As Delta Company, 6RAR move into the rubber plantation near Long Tan, 11 Platoon surprises a Vietnamese patrol and the first shots of the Battle are fired. With orders to chase the fleeing enemy, 11 Platoon unknowingly heads directly towards the North Vietnamese HQ. The next three hours would become an example of the best, and some of the worst, of the Australian military and their New Zealand comrades. Hosted on Acast.

With the newly established 1st Australian Task Force settled in to Nui Dat, work started on neutralising the Viet Cong activity in the area. The Viet Cong had other ideas. They wanted to draw out the Australians and engulf them with overwhelming numbers. Despite the mounting evidence, Brigadier Jackson didn't believe the North Vietnamese Army had arrived in Phuoc Tuy Province, even after a mortar attack was unleashed on the Task Force Base.

The Battle of Long Tan on August 18, 1966, took place in a rubber plantation near in the Phước Tuy Province, South Vietnam, between the Viet Cong and People's Army of Vietnam units and elements of the 1st Australian Task Force. 6PR Breakfast host Gareth Parker spoke to musician and Vietnam veteran Normie Rowe about how the war 60 years ago changed his life, as well as entertainer Denise Drysdale, who flew to Vietnam during the war to keep the spirit up of the Aussie troops. "I guess sliding doors - the upside is I've got mates that I don't think I would ever have had, people that I know I can trust my life to, but on the other hand I had a career that was starting to burgeon in the UK and internationally, and so I lost that. "So you know, upside and downside, but that's life." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This film has been requested many times; usually by our Aussie and Kiwi listeners, and occasionally by people who think our podcast is entirely dedicated to this one film from 2019. Well-known down under, but not as much in the rest of the world, this is the story of one of the most famous battles Anzac troops fought in the Vietnam War. They were outnumbered between 10 and 20-to-1, and had it not been for their tactical decision-making, the fight could have had a very different outcome. We've done films “based on true events” (and people) many times before; how does this one compare to We Were Soldiers or The Outpost? Did they do justice to the real soldiers who fought in this battle? Join us on Danger Close: A War Film Podcast, and find out!

Here, Stenders discusses growing up around music, working with Lee Kernaghan, filming the energetic concert scenes, his passion for good storytelling, why he thinks Lee Kernaghan: Boy from the Bush is his most experimental film yet, and why documentary filmmaking is such an exciting medium right now.

Robert Egger's third film, following The VVitch (2015) and The Lighthouse (2019), The Northman has the largest budget and the biggest scope by far. Set in the late 9th/early 10th centuries in central Europe and Iceland, this epic revenge story is undoubtedly the most thoroughly researched and most accurate Viking film to date. With a phenomenal cast that includes Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Ethan Hawke, the story goes all the way back to the Norse myths that inspired Shakespeare's Hamlet, and the meticulous production and costume design immerses you in a world from over 1000 years ago with flawless attention to detail. We debated for a bit whether this belonged on the Danger Close list as a war film, or whether the psychedelic feel and mythical elements pushed it over into our war adjacent film category for DCE. In the end, there is enough pillaging and conflict in this that we decided it qualified, and we wanted to give this episode the exposure it deserved. We are joined by special guest Dave for this one, as his background in HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts), and his knowledge of Viking history made him the perfect person to join our discussion. So, do we think Eggers pulled off this ambitious project, and did we like it? And just how accurate is it?

As the years pass, and our veterans get older, there are fewer opportunities to hear their stories first hand. In this episode of Cove Thoughts, produced especially to commemorate the 2020 Vietnam Veterans' Day, we talk to David Sabben about his experiences as a platoon commander at the Battle of Long Tan.

This episode is part of our Anzac Day Special. We speak with Australian music royalty Col Joye and his experiences touring Vietnam.  Col was on stage performing for the troops at the base in Nui Dat when the ferocious Battle of Long Tan broke out. Before he could take a chopper ride to safety, he was kidnapped by some well meaning Aussie soldiers.

This Australian film never saw a release in the US, but it should have. Danger Close tells the story of the Battle of Long Tan in Viet Nam. A true story with excellent portrayals, it is not to be missed. We talk about the technical aspects, which are superior, and the importance of the need for stories that have that human spark in them. We stray from movie lessons and get into some deep philosophical topics. You should see this movie, and more importantly you should listen to this episode and do some deep self-searching. Danger Close can be found on Amazon Video.

On this ANZAC Day COTF episode, named after the motto of the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia, we open with The Last Post and discuss our thoughts on the day, the Vietnam War, war films and documentaries, including 'Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan'. The AFL coaches doing TikTok dances cop a serve. We discuss the new Michael Jordan / Chicago Bulls documentary on Netflix, 'The Last Dance', as well as the greats of NBA. We also talk about Italy's run at the 1994 Word Cup in the USA after Simon rewatched the Italy vs Nigeria 2nd round match. Also on our TV screen this week was the West Coast Eagles vs Port Adelaide elimination final from 2017. Some billionaires are more equal than others. We heap praise (read: scorn) on our favourite ABC Chief Economics Correspondent who doesn't want us to talk about the economy. And we finish with a very poignant tune about the PTSD that Vietnam Veterans experienced on their return from that terrible conflict: Redgum's 'I Was Only 19' with an intro from singer John Schumann. #LestWeForget Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ChroniclesOnTheFly and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/chroniclesontheflypod

Unless you served in Vietnam, you probably weren't aware that U.S. forces fought alongside other allies, Australia being one of them, and an important one at that. Dave Sabben was one of those soldiers who bravely led Australian military forces not long after the U.S. war in Vietnam began. Sabben joined the army as part of Australia's National Service program in 1965. By the end of '65 he had completed officer training, graduating as a 2nd lieutenant. Shortly thereafter he deployed to Vietnam as platoon commander of 12 Platoon, D Company, 6 Royal Australian Regiment (RAR). After only a couple of months in-country, Sabben's unit experienced their first battle, and what would come to be known as one of Australia's fiercest and most intense engagements of the Vietnam War - the Battle of Long Tan. Hear how Sabben led his unit against overwhelming odds and survived a battle that in his words, "no amount of training could prepare you for," in this special edition of HAZARD GROUND! www.sabben.com | "The Battle of Long Tan" | "Through Enemy Eyes" | "Danger Close" Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors at www.hazardground.com/sponsors!

This was written directly after watching the movie "Battle of Long Tan". A film based on the Vietnam war where approximately 108 Australian and New Zealand Soldiers up against approximately 2000 to 2500 Vietnamese soldiers. The battle took place in a rubber plantation near long tan. It's a must watch film for all to understand just what those soldiers went through. This is my tribute to those soldiers and all soldiers past and present who have put their lives on the line for us who are so fortunate to be hear, --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/todd-kidd/message

Luke Bracey wanted to be a professional rugby player, but fell into acting by chance. Over time, the Australian actor found himself on the long running soap opera, ‘Home and Away.’ His background in the physical and rigorous sport soon guided him into action roles, such as ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation,’ ‘The November Man,’ ‘Hacksaw Ridge,’ and the reboot for ‘Point Break.’ In the new film ‘Danger Close,’ the actor stepped into the role of Sergeant Bob Buick. The story uncovers a Vietnamese rubber plantation called Long Tan where 108 young and inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought 2,500 Viet Cong. In this interview, Bracey discusses his role as Utah in ‘Point Break,’ when to call in the professionals for stunt work, how he researches a role, and why ‘Danger Close’ was so personal for him.

The shadow war between Israel and Iran might erupt into a direct conflict. Early Sunday morning, two Israeli armoured drones entered South Beirut, a region controlled by Hezbollah.

For three and a half hours, in the pouring rain, amid the mud and shattered trees of a rubber plantation, Major Harry Smith and his company of just 108 young Australian and New Zealand soldiers would fight for their lives, holding off an overwhelming enemy force of battle hardened Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. With their ammunition running out, their casualties mounting and the enemy massing for a final assault, each man would search for his own answers and the strength to triumph over an uncertain future. The ensuing Battle of Long Tan became one of the most savage and decisive engagements in ANZAC history.

We continue our examination of the Battle of Long Tan with Dave Sabben.  12 Pl has returned to the D Coy position, with some of the survivors of 11 Pl and the Coy prepares to receive the next assault. BRIG Jackson is faced with the dilemma of trying to divine the true intentions of the enemy.  Is it a diversion in preparation for a move against the Task Force base, or is it an attempt to destroy a Coy outside the base. B Coy is ordered to return to the D Coy location and 10 APCs are loaded with troops from A Coy at Nui Dat and dispatched to reinforce the D Coy position. 6 RAR CO, LT COL Townsend recalls the APCs because he wants to go out with the APCs.  How does LT Roberts respond to a call to return for the CO, when he knows that D Coy is in a critical situation with low ammunition. At 18:30 what is enabling the Coy to survive in the face of ongoing assaults?  What air support was available, how was it used and how effective was it? The enemy starts to mass and commences further assaults against the position.  The pace of the assaults increases and the troops don't have enough time to fully reload their magazines.  The sun has set and it is becoming increasingly dark. At 18:55 increase numbers of waves assault the position, around the perimeter. Troops, controlled by whistle blasts walking in firing from the hips.  It is now dark and the only illumination available to the defenders is the flashes from the artillery.  Check out the show notes for the podcast for images and more details for this and other podcast episodes.

This episode of the podcast sees the transition from the encounter battle through to D Coy moving to being completely on the defensive.  11 Pl becomes decisively engaged, with enemy flanking to the north whilst being engaged by 3 MGs from the front.  As 11 Pl starts the call for fire, MAJ Smith calls for reinforcements in order to regain the initiative.  As the tempo of the artillery support increases, the audience at the Little Patty concert moves away to support the Coy in contact. 10 Pl moves towards the foot hills to the north, observing a force attempting to flank 11 Pl.  The Task Force initially refuses to reinforce the NZ 161 Bty, requiring time consuming switching between targets and adjustment.  On later is 161 reinforced with 2 further batteries. 2LT Dave Sabbens 12 Pl detaches a section to provide security to CHQ and moves off 2 up to attempt to marry up with 11 Pl.  By now 2 hours into the battle, each Pl has a bty in support.  10 Pl is down to 50% ammunition and requests and ammo resupply.  This is initially refused.  The pilots who had bought up Little Patty to Nui Dat. The US resupply would be 30 minutes which could be too late.  Moral and physical courage is shown by the RAAF pilots as they ignore restrictions from Canberra about flying into contact in order to provide supply to the troops in contact. The situation is so desperate that SGT Bob Buick, the PL SGT in 11 Pl calls in artillery on his on position.  The FO refuses to bring the artillery onto their position, but brings the rounds in as close as possible. 11 Pl moves back marry up with 12 Pl and they commence to move back to CHQ.

We continue our discussion with Dave Sabben, picking in the in the second half of July. The base was being heavily reconnoitered.  We discuss the preparation for the defences at Nui Dat.  Dave suggests that Canberra believed that the base was considered to be safe and unlikely to be attacked. The South Vietnamese intelligence was treated as suspect, as was the US intelligence because a lot of it was sourced from the South Vietnamese. A radio intercept unit was located at Nui Dat.  They were tracking the morse code communications.  With direction finding, the sigint was providing some good intelligence showing a large force moving towards the east of Nui Dat 2.  The shelling on the 17th of August by mortars, RCLs and at least one artillery piece.  B Coy was sent to locate the location of the mortar base plates and attempt to track down the force responsible.  Tracking the enemy was laborious, in dangerous terrain.  B Coy remained out on the 17th and D Coy was sent to relieve them. D Coy finds bullock tracks and blood stains leading into the rubber plantation.  The tracks split and 10 Pl follows one and 11 Pl follows the second with 12 Pl bringing up the rear. An minor obstacle crossing drill is conducted by the Coy as they come across a cattle fence.  Sgt Bob Buick, the Pl SGT for 11 Pl sees 6 - 7 enemy soldiers with slung AK-47s, completely non tac.  He opens fire with his Armalite, hitting at least one.  Six 6 vs a platoon with 30 troops is a good troop ratio orders Maj Smith gives LT Sharp to follow up the enemy.  Shortly, they are engaged by a force that looks like another Pl, so the Coy needs to to reinforce 11 Pl.

We discuss the terrain in Phuoc Tuy, including Long Tan and the defensive base at Nui Dat. We discuss the demarcation in responsibility between the ARVN and the Australian troops and the impact of ARVN having responsibility for dealing with the roads and villages.  We also discuss the strategic hamlet program and the impact of resettling the population out of Long Tan village and the creation of a free Fire zone in the area.  How did the resettlement of villagers impact their lives? The intent for the establishment of 1 ATF was to, "Help stop the fighting the South."  1 ATF turned this into "we will dominate Phuoc Tuy province in order to help stop the fighting in the South." The plan was to secure the base and then expand the influence out from around the base and disrupt VC operating in the bush.  We discuss the impact of Lina Alpha, the 5km line out from Nui Dat that was to act as an exclusion zone,but but the time of Long Tan, there was 1 significant issue with it - we talk about the road that runs through the defensive perimeter and how the VC could conduct recon on the suspected minefields.  The road was used to access Binh Ba in the north.  This sets the scene our next Episode - The Encounter Battle.

Dave Sabben describes his experience when he joins D Coy, 6 RAR.  Dave makes an important point, many of the officers and SNCOs were newly promoted into their roles, a function of the rapid expansion of the Army. Fifty percent of the diggers in Delta were National Servicemen. In March 1966, 6 RAR is notified that they will be going to Vietnam.  Delta left in early July, The first birthday of 6 RAR was the 6th of June in 1966 and celebrated it's first birthday on the beach of Vung Tau.  Dave and the rest of Delta Coy joined the battalion on the next day.  Training was conducted in air mobile operations and weapons training intensified.  Second hand Armalites were issued to replace the Owen guns.  The Owen gun was designed in 1939, The building of the base at Nui Dat was commenced by 5 RAR in May.  6 RAR was deployed quickly to the base after intelligence suggested that an attack was being planned for the poorly defended base at Nui Dat. We look at the creation of 1 Australian Task Force and look at the reasons behind it's placement in Phuoc Tuy Province. The name Nui Dat, comes from the name of one of the terrain features, meaning small hill. We discuss the importance of the Vung Tau.

We look at the Scheyville Experience.  This is important because it highlights the process required to train junior officers to be able to lead soldiers into combat and to win. Scheyville had 1883  graduates, 1690 were National Serviceman,  355 served in Vietnam, and 8 gave there lives in Vietnam.  We look at the syllabus at OTU Scheyville, and we talk to Dave Sabben about his experience at Scheyville, from his Officer Selection Board, through to the training that he received at Scheyville. What was the success rate of those volunteering to be officers?  What was the training like?  How did they distill the concept of Leadership into the officer cadets?  Given Dave's experience in Vietnam, how would he have improved it? In just 22 weeks, Dave Sabben graduated from OTU Scheyville.  We look at his recollections of the training and how he felt prepared to graduate as a Platoon Commander in 6 RAR.

We start our look at the Battle of Long Tan, which occured on the 18th August 1966, 4km east of the Australian Task Force base at Nui Dat.  Outnumber 20:1, the Australians took 18 KIA and 24 WIA in one of the most important and most famous battles of the whole Australian involvement in Long Tan. Our guide through Australian Military's History most famous rubber plantation is Dave Sabben.  Dave was the Platoon Commander of 12 Platoon, Delta Company on that day at Long Tan.  Conscription has been used by many countries through history as they rapidly increase the size of their defence forces in response to changing strategic circumstances, circumstances that have changed quickly and require a faster response than could be achieved with the full time Defence Force. How did the Australian Defence Force mobilised for operations in Vietnam?  We look at conscription and the history of professional armies. We start by looking at some of the components of a professional army and what the role of conscription is within the concept of National readiness.  Professional armies are very expensive to maintain and so we look at 2 components of readiness that are used to decrease the cost of having a large standing force.  How was conscription for Vietnam different to conscription in Australia during World War 2? Dave starts by talking us through the conscription process and his initial training at Kapooka.  We look at the reason for the conscription in the 1960's. Dave discusses what the aim of the training program was and the skills that officers were to receive at Scheyville.  How was the training program designed and how were leadership skills developed at OTU Scheyville?   Check out the show notes for the podcast for images and more details for this and other podcast episodes.

We continue our discussion on the Center of Gravity with COL Dale Eikmeier. How important is the relationship between different CoG?  What impact does this relationship have for operational planning? Does the CoG breakdown when their are multiple actors?  How are they related and how does it impact in planning an operation?  What is the best way to deal with the increasing complexity?  Does the Centre of Gravity continue to be useful as the complexity of the environment and the number of stakeholders increases? What is the impact of time on the Centre of Gravity?  Can the CoG change over time? We look at the application of the CoG outside of the military.  Could it be used in Foreign Policy? What are COL Eikmeier's thoughts on Moral Centers of Gravity?  Are they useful in planning campaigns? What is the future of Joint Planning?  How will it change over the next 20 years?  What will be the impact on a Whole of Government approach to strategy? How will the Centre of Gravity evolve over time?  This concludes our look at the Centre of Gravity construct.  Next week we will start our next major battle study as we look at the Battle of Long Tan.

In this episode of the Paul James on Soccer podcast, Paul discusses the positive manner in which Stephen Hart has dealt with the lack of playing time that Simeon Jackson has been receiving at the club and Jackson's stellar play with Canada in his most recent International fixtures. He also talks about Canada's progress as a team as they look to build confidence and momentum through their first round of World Cup qualifying. Paul also gives his thoughts on a recent statement by TFC forward Ryan Johnson that the current Toronto FC squad is a legitimate playoff team and discusses Vancouver's bounce-back win over Real Salt Lake. He also provides his assessment of Vancouver players Carlyle Mitchell and Long Tan and answers two thought provoking Whitecaps related questions submitted by listeners: 1. Is the MLS more competitive in Vancouver's first year in the league than it was when Toronto FC debuted back in 2007; and 2. Would Vancouver's season have turned out differently had Teitur Thordarson not been fired as Head Coach in the middle of the season? Lastly, Paul provides some positive signings on the Montreal Impact's signing of defender Nelson Rivaz and their astute hiring of Mike Sorber as an Assistant Coach, as he ends the podcast with a thought provoking discussion of how important it is for a Head Coach to hire not only a competent coach as his lead assistant, but also a genuine friend who will have his back when times get tough.
