Henry Swindon’s mission didn't end with his discharge papers.

In this episode of The Grey Man Podcast, we sit down with Henry Swindon—former Army officer, founder of The Diggers Guild, and now a federal political candidate for the seat of Moreton. Henry shares his transition from leading soldiers in the Australian Army to leading grassroots advocacy for veterans across the country.

We dive deep into the gaps Henry identified in the current veteran support system and what ultimately drove him to step into the political arena. This is a conversation about accountability, the "Digger" ethos, and how military leadership translates into national policy. If you’ve ever wondered why veteran representation in government matters now more than ever, this episode is a must-watch.

In this episode, we cover: The journey from Army Officer to political candidate. Founding The Diggers Guild: Filling the gaps in veteran support. Why Henry is running for the seat of Moreton. The transition from military leadership to civic advocacy and policy.
