On any given day you are being bombarded by gambling ads on television, radio and online. A parliamentary committee is pushing for a full ban on advertising to protect younger generations from the dangers of gambling, but there are indications the government will stop short of that. Today, investigative journalist and occasional Radio National Breakfast host Steve Cannane on the arguments being made by the powerful gambling industry in its lobbying against a full ban. Featured: Steve Cannane, ABC investigative journalist

Steve Cannane: Life of a Foreign Correspondent

The 1961 Ashes had it all, especially at Old Trafford. The ground where Jim Laker ran amok the previous time the Australians visited would be the scene of a staggering come-from-behind triumph under the bold leadership of Richie Benaud, spinning to win from out of the rough. Adam has Steve Cannane with him to interview Harry Ricketts, the co-author of a terrific new book focused on a match that helped earn the Australian captain the reputation as the best leader in the game. But it's a portrait just as much about the England skipper, Peter May, and how a champion player would become a symptom of an antiquated class system by the end of his time in charge. A book that's going to win a stack of awards, it's out this week. Enjoy!

Steve Cannane - First Tests: Great Australian Cricketers and the Backyards That Made Them Steve Cannane has been a journalist for more than 30 years, and the ABC's senior foreign correspondent in Europe since 2021. But aside from his important work, his passion is cricket - for decades, he charged in every Saturday as an opening bowler. And it was with his club side, watching a teammate's unorthodox batting technique, where a question was planted: how much do the childhood backyards of players influence what we eventually see at the top level? The answer was a beautiful and much-loved book, First Tests. Originally published in 2009, but just as relevant now, we revisit these stories as Steve prepares to return to Australia. Appropriately, given how much he's loved hanging out in Soho while living in London, it was in a pub in the heart of town where Adam and Daniel Norcross recorded this most fulfilling interview.

Welcome back to the Lighthouse Project, a Children of Scientology Production. In our last episodes, we spoke with Claire Headley regarding the powerful expert witness testimony she provided in this trial. We discussed the systems of Scientology, including language, policies and practices used to control members which prevent them from reporting crimes to law enforcement.  In this episode, we begin to look at Jane Doe 2's testimony to better understand her experience, what she went through, and what she was up against in her search for justice. We learn about how she came to be in Scientology, as a means to address her anxiety. We examine the competing force of Scientology against Psychology and how this prevents people from getting real help for mental illness.  We read the testimony that Jane Doe 2 gave about a prior rape she experienced by another Scientologist and what followed; the reframing and threat of consequences. We discuss some of what expert witness Dr Ziv testified to in this trial, regarding the way victims commonly react to sex assault, and add to that, the efforts of Scientology to suppress the rape Jane Doe 2 knew she'd experienced. We relate to Scientology's handling of our own experiences with mental health issues, creating intentional stigma around mental health care, psychology, psychiatry, and anything other than Scientology treatment. We discuss Scientology's anti-psychiatry front group: CCHR - Citizens Commission on Human Rights, Mirriam relates to taring the roof of its Hollywood CA museum, as Sea Org children, when assigned to hard manual labor for wanting to leave the Sea Org, a very lengthy and laborious process.  Victoria grapples with confusion & hurt around her brother's treatment of her, loyalty to Scientology over her, and her field auditor, whom she thought of as a mother, not providing her real help when she was self-harming suicidal after being drug raped, instead providing her Scientology only. We agree our Scientology abusers and witnesses of our abuses, are also victims of Scientology, and so we must navigate compassion & empathy since most never apologize, or seek forgiveness.   We compare thoughts on Scientologists behaving as though they have a virus or addiction that overwhelms their sense of self, autonomy, ability to see right from wrong and act in their own accord, while they're led to believe, and behave as if they are doing the opposite: being free thinking, self-determined, and helping. We conclude a real danger of Scientology is its ability to use well-meaning members to perpetrate harm, and fraud on others.
