And what do you hope to achieve with your role on the advisory group?

I hope that it is looked at in a more nuanced way.

Absolutely, there are risks and we have to balance those, and there are certainly risks individuals out there that probably should have their firearms licence taken off them.

But to understand that while there is risk, there is also massive benefit there for having a firearms licence.

So I think we talked a little bit about this last time, but really going out hunting, it does tick a lot of those ways to wellbeing boxes.

So it will get people out moving their body.

Vast swathes of land can be covered when you're doing a hunt.

Yeah, so I grew up in

So tell us a little bit about your, I guess, upbringing.

Can you tell us a little bit about your research and some of the most concerning things that you've found?

Yeah, so my research is around rural mental health.

It's around social connection and land use change.

A lot of different aspects for that.

I anticipated it would be about 80%.

the mental health and connection side and 20% forestry, the reality is that it's much more than that.

Forestry conversions are affecting people on a large scale.

Part of that, I guess, is that you're now involved with Mental Hunts, aren't you? So can you tell us about Mental Hunts? Because we talk a lot about hunting on this show.

and another part of your research that you've done I think it was your master's wasn't it was about rural men and their mental health part of that I guess is that you're now involved with mental hunts aren't you so can you tell us about mental hunts because we talk a lot about hunting on this show

... did you wanna introduce yourself?

Oh, thank you.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Catherine Wright.

Um, became an international best-selling author because I lived in a haunted house for 14 years on reptilian portals and the hu- uh, the dead coming in from 150 miles, and it took off, the book.

Um, so I'm an experiencer, and last [laughs] I punch shifts all the time with some of the psychics I've talked to, just confirming stuff.

[clears throat]

I'm just thankful to be alive, and thank you, Rob, for having us all here.
