This episode exposes how youth sport and positions of authority were used as gateways to abuse in Tasmania for Reynolds and others. 

Through the Weiss Review, survivor testimony, and a firsthand account from a former player, we examine how trust, reputation, and police power created unchecked access to children — and a culture of silence inside change rooms.

We also investigate the U-Turn program and the unresolved questions surrounding those involved.

This is not about one man.
It’s about systems that failed to protect.
