Each month, the Rationalist Society of Australia hosts a webinar, with a guest speaker, or speakers, presenting on a topic of interest. We share highlights of our past webinars here on this podcast. In this episode, we hear from Phillip Hoglin CSC, a former Colonel in the Australian Army and Defence statistician, on the changing religious demographics in the Australian Defence Force (ADF). In June 2022, he appeared in a webinar which focused on the topic of religion in the ADF. At that webinar, the main speaker was former head of Navy chaplaincy, Collin Acton OAM, who spoke on the topic, ‘The need for a new model of wellbeing support in Defence’. We interviewed Collin for a previous episode of this podcast in October 2022.
