In this raw and deeply personal episode of Unfiltered, Krystal Perkins sits down with two decorated veterans to dismantle the traditional narrative of military life and veteran care.

As of early 2026, Australian veterans face significantly higher risks of suicide, homelessness, and PTSD compared to the general population.

Cate McGregor and Harry Moffitt move beyond these statistics to discuss the "unfiltered truth" of transitioning from elite service to civilian life. The conversation explores the fragmentation of the veteran support sector, the psychological impact of "always-on" global conflict, and the importance of maintaining an identity outside of the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

Thirty-two years. Two continents. One unfiltered truth.

In this episode of Unfiltered, Krystal Perkins sits down with former UK Detective Superintendent Robin Napper to strip away the Hollywood glamour of forensic investigations.

Robin explores the "DNA revolution" and the systemic failures currently driving a PTSD crisis within Australian policing. From the trauma of early-career autopsies to the "invisible scars" that dismantled his personal life, Robin’s story is a raw account of the cost of justice. This is more than a memoir of a career; it is a blueprint for a science-led, human-centric future for global law enforcement.
