"Today I’m here for one purpose. And that is to expose the cover-up."
Some days, I meet a source whose courage absolutely knocks my socks off. Today, Mick Dover is risking one million dollars to tell his story to 4 Corners. Watch ABC TV 8.30pm & YouTube. #PBCC #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...
The Plymouth Brethren offered Mick $1 million to stay silent. He refused
The controversial church offered to settle with Mick Dover over his allegations of abuse, but only if he signed a non-disclosure agreement and agreed not to disparage them in any way.

Jillian Segal's interview on ABC730 last night revealed her to be utterly unable to provide even basic examples of things she alleges in her report are happening.

Her report is a farrago of distortion and lies. Treat it with the contempt it deserves

Key point being, this is not the action of a democratic nation, so maybe don't trust anything they tell you and report everything they do as you would a rogue state conducting genocide and trying to hide it.

Labor has delivered on the Coalition’s promise — approving Woodside’s gas extension in just 30 days.
This carbon bomb undermines any serious commitment to net zero.

Meanwhile, domestic gas prices have shot up, pushed up by excessive gas exports. #auspol
