When we talk about cults, we tend to picture the classic images: a doomsday group in the desert, or a fringe religious sect that feels totally disconnected from everyday life.

Today, we're unpacking why this research gap exists, what it means for young Australians, and the initiatives trying to fix it. Want to support The Daily Aus? That's so kind!
