They were the town heroes, the people who dominate every sphere and rule every room. But the rot set in when they used their power to groom whole communities and hurt the most vulnerable. How did they go undetected for so long? And why were credible reports buried for so many years? From Tasmania and beyond, this podcast series reveals the conditions these bad apples need to thrive across communities and what happens to the whistleblowers who refuse to look the other way.

In the 1960s, police who wanted to look into sex crimes were considered a bit odd and certainly weren’t encouraged. But when a pair of cops looked into Hobart’s top school, they pulled a thread that would take decades to unravel. The question is, why were so many predators in one place.

7 | A Question of Principal

Azra is a victim survivor who alleges she was physically and sexually abused as a tiny child in 1980s Tasmania. One of her alleged offenders was a cop. Since 2000, 22 Tasmania police officers have been accused of similar offences. Did the culture of the force play a role?

6 | The Club

If you say the name of certain people in Tasmania, you’ll get a knowing look and a hushed voice. This businessman is one of them. He and a set of 90s mates ran inner-city Hobart and they had a system. They would take children from foster homes for ‘treats’ and put them back.  One is Kevin - another is Gareth - both are dead. The men who had them weren’t official carers, but they apparently had a bible in hand. Did they gain access through the church - or their sparkling reputations?
