Glen McEwen, AFP's Asia Commander, reveals the Thai cave rescue's tensest moments, Yemen deployment & a corrupt cop probe

After Bali, Glen McEwen became the AFP's Asia Commander and found himself at the centre of the Thai cave rescue .

Gary sits down with Glen to hear what it was really like inside that cave rescue, 10 days with no food or air, Australian divers in the water, the high-risk sedation plan to swim the boys out, the moment they thought they'd lost the first kid, and the Hollywood moment when the pumps failed with rescuers still inside.

Glen also opens up on his deployment to Yemen interviewing Australians jailed for alleged gun-running, leading the covert investigation into corrupt officer Mark Standen while working alongside him, and the personal toll of 35 years policing that led to medical retirement and his ongoing recovery through therapy and EMDR.

Then AFP officer Glen McEwen was 400m from Paddy's Bar when the Bali Bombings hit. Hear his first-hand account of the chaos, rescue efforts and aftermath.

On October 12, 2002, then Australian Federal Police Acting Superintendent Glen McEwen was just 400 metres from Paddy's Bar by chance when the Bali Bombings happened. He ran toward the blast and became the first Aussie cop on scene.

In Part 1 of this interview, Gary sits down with Glen to hear what it was like inside those first chaotic hours, helping the injured, making the first call back to Australia to report mass Australian casualties, forming 'Team Australia' at the Consulate, and returning at first light to help secure the crime scene for the investigation that followed.

Glen also shares how his posting to Indonesia led him there, from infiltrating people-smuggling networks to his earlier work on the massive 397kg Port Macquarie seizure in 1998.

Ashton Kline shares how he lost his mother to family violence at 15, his promise to protect his brother Grant, and his path to healing with Gary Jubelin.

After Ashton Kline's mother Viola was murdered by his dad after decades of abuse, he faced a choice "Do I let it destroy me?"

In Part 2, Ashton sits down with Gary to share what came after, the unbreakable bond with his younger brother Grant, being taken into foster care with their belongings in a garbage bag, and going from family to family.

Ashton talks about the red flags that were missed in the build-up, learning to carry trauma rather than be defined by it, building a toolkit for recovery, and why he and Grant chose not just to survive, but to thrive.

For Ashton, it's about carrying his mum's memory forward, so her loss is not in vain, and using their story to help others understand the impact of domestic violence and homicide.

Surviving the aftermath of his mum's murder: Ashton Kline Pt. 2

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/9c365018-2417-4f0e-a0fd-b4e8004650eb/transcript

Ashton Kline shares with Gary Jubelin the harrowing story of his mother's murder at 15, becoming his brother's guardian overnight, and finding purpose through survival and brotherhood.

When Ashton Kline was 15, his mother Viola was murdered by his father. 

Ashton sits down with Gary Jubelin to share what led up to that day on the 27th of September, 2000, growing up walking on eggshells, the brief nine months of peace after his father left, and how in a single afternoon he had to step into an adult role to look after his chronically ill six year old brother Grant.

He talks about the promise he made to his mum: "No matter what, I will always look after Grant". Building his own toolkit for recovery from trauma, and why sharing their story now gives purpose to his mum's loss.

This is Ashton's story of survival, brotherhood, and responsibility beyond his years.
