When you hear the word 'cult', you probably picture white robes and remote compounds. But in 2026, the reality is much more ordinary.

From wellness communities to 'coaching' gurus and high-control religious groups, a new wave of organisations is recruiting young people who are searching for certainty in an unstable, post-pandemic world.

As the Victorian Parliament conducts a landmark inquiry into the recruitment methods of these fringe groups, we investigate how the traditional cult has morphed into something far more sanitised and harder to spot.

Trump says deal with Iran coming soon to settle the war
