Phil Neil, a former Leading Aircraftman with the RAAF, was one of the five members of the Gay Ex-Services Association (GESA) who tried to unsuccessfully lay a wreath at the Shrine of Remembrance on ANZAC Day in 1982. GESA formed after inflammatory and homophobic comments were made in the media about gay service people by then RSL president, Bruce Ruxton. On a cold and rainy 25th of April, 1982, Phil Neil, Mike Jarmyn, Terry Yates and two other gay ex-servicemen walked the steps of the Shrine to try and lay a wreath in the name of their “fallen gay and lesbian brothers and sisters”, who had always been a part of the Australian defence forces. On that day, they were turned away. After the passing in 2018 of GESA founding member Max Campbell, a former RAAF Warrant Officer, it was thought that there were no surviving members of the association. As luck would have it, Phil Neil was found alive and well living in regional Victoria during the making of ‘The Power of the Wreath', one of the podcast episodes that accompanies the Shrine's groundbreaking new exhibition, Defending with Pride: Stories of LGBTQ+ service (August 2022 – July 2023). In our age of open service, Phil is a pioneer for the LGBTIQ+ ADF members and community of today. As you'll hear, he's waited a long time to tell his story for the first time. In this extended interview, he sheds more light on the 1982 wreath-laying incident, his motives for being part of it and much more. It's an inspiring story of courage and compassion. Phil Neil was interviewed by award-winning podcast maker, Megan Spencer. You can also hear him speak in the special two-part podcast she made for the Shrine, Defending with Pride: Voices – The Power of the Wreath. Credits This extended interview with Phil Neil, a former Leading Aircraftman with the RAAF, is part of the podcast series Defending with Pride: Voices.

This podcast is part of a powerful two-part series that explores the history of LGBTIQ+ military service in Australia, produced by award-winning podcast maker, Megan Spencer.

Lust, Love, Loss: Conversations is a three-part series produced by renowned broadcaster Megan Spencer that delves deep into three stories of Australian wartime relationships. For Tanja and Mark Johnston, what started as a chance meeting on the stoop of a share house in Toowoomba evolved into a relationship filled with letter writing, 90s mix tapes and good dose of humour. The couple combined Tanja's love of art and Mark's experience in the Army to co-create ANVAM – the Australian National Veterans Art Museum – which helps promote veteran wellbeing though art programs. This episode of Lust, Love, Loss follows their story from the stoop to the studio, and what it was like founding this cherished veteran's organisation together.

The Shrine of Remembrance acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we honour Australian service men and women, and we pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging. Please note that the audio does contain some sound effects of war, protest and discussion around suicide. -- In this podcast, an interview with independent historian Dr. Peter Yule about ‘The Long Shadow: Australia's Vietnam Veterans Since the War’, a book that explores the medical, psychological and health legacies of the Vietnam War on Australia’s veteran community. Vietnam veterans are still our biggest, recognisable veteran cohort, also regarded as today’s ‘keepers of ANZAC’. Peter Yule is a research fellow in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne. He is interviewed by Megan Spencer, a broadcaster and podcast producer with a particular interest in remembrance and the impact of military service. At almost 700 pages, ‘The Long Shadow’ is a broad, detailed and compelling study of the specific and unique experiences faced by Vietnam veterans involved in Australia’s most socially and politically divisive overseas war to date - and its very human cost. In researching and writing the book, Peter says that the only stipulation given to him editorially “was to make sure the voice of the veterans was heard”. It includes powerful insights from Vietnam veterans, their family members, medical experts, veteran advocates and others. As one reviewer wrote, ‘The Long Shadow’ addresses “deficiencies of past studies’ failure to engage with the lived experience of veterans”. ‘The Long Shadow’ was commissioned by the Australian War Memorial and is published by New South Publishing. It was published on the 1st of November, 2020. Megan interviewed Peter just after it’s publication, in early December 2020. -- Credits Speaker: Peter Yule Interviewer/Producer/Sound: Megan Spencer.

What makes for a good business? I don't know the absolute answer to that question but I can tell you my opinion.I believe that what really makes good business is when the business owner works on themselves and gets their mindset right. Yes, negative or unresolved emotional links in your life can affect your mindset in a way that disempowers you to be able to make major moves in your life and in your business. You may start a business but it will eventually begin to crumble under the weight of your negative mindset.And along with that, when business owner's allow themselves to be open to coaching and marketing strategies that will help their business growth, they are bound for success. It would be wonderful if we had all the answers but that is not the case. We must rely on others who have "been there and done that" to shine some insight into our business world as we grow and develop.Rome was not built in a day and neither will your business take off in a day, a week or even a few months most of the time. Especially if you are working siloed.We as women should embrace the idea of collective collaboration. Once you do, you will be amazed at how much your business will take off and flourish. Meet Megan Spencer-Harris, an art-based health coach, that helps creative women stop self-destructive behaviors and start showing up for themselves.Our mindset coach, Ellie Hall, is certified through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching and holds a Master's Degree in Family Sociology from the University of North Texas as well as a Bachelor ofBusiness Administration from Texas Tech University. With over 125 hours ofcoaching experience, Ellie guides women to connect with their inner compass empowering them to make major life decisions with clarity and confidence.Courtney Womack is a mindset & business coach that helps women entrepreneurs launch their business & attract their dream clients so they can get paid NOW. I believe that business can be fun & easy and that's exactly what I teach my clients.Listen as our business owner and coaches share insights that will assist you in growing your business as well.
