In today's bonus episode, Secrets We Keep: Uncovered host Joey Watson interviews the parents of a young teenager with autism radicalised by covert Australian Federal Police (AFP) operatives and later charged with terrorism. His charges were dropped by a Victorian court. For the first time, Thomas’ parents speak publicly about the devastating moment they learned the state had pursued a criminal case against a child with significant cognitive vulnerabilities, and how a system meant to protect their son instead put him at greater risk. Their account, alongside the court’s damning findings, that police conduct fell “profoundly short” of acceptable standards, raises questions about policing, oversight, and how a terrorism prevention program turned into an institutional failure. Part 2 of this extraordinary story will be published on Tuesday 9 December at Secrets We Keep: Uncovered. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts. *** POLICE RESPONSE The AFP referred us to its previous comments regarding this matter: Senate Estimates LINK Parliamentary Joint Committee LINK Victoria Police claimed that to their knowledge, the Imam assigned to the family through their CVE program did not record without the family’s knowledge or consent. “Victoria Police does not publicly provide specific details of the operations or programs of this nature," a spokesperson said. "This is partly to ensure we maintain the confidentiality needs of all of those involved. The community can be reassured that we remain committed to working with the community and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies to divert those vulnerable to radicalising towards violent extremism to a different path, assist those who are already holding violent extremist beliefs to disengage, and ensure the safety and security of the Victorian public.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tamar Hopkins from the Racial Profiling Data Monitoring Project talks about the latest data showing that Victoria Police target certain groups, with members much more likely to be searched than white people and have force used against them. These groups include people perceived by the police to be Aboriginal, African, Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Pacific Islander.Tamar proposes a range of alternative measures to policing, including the resourcing of communities, and a monitoring body to ensure accurate data collection relating to systemic racism.Linkshttps://www.racialprofilingresearch.org/https://imcl.org.au/police-racial-profiling-has-not-improved report

CONTENT WARNING: This Episode of Doin' Time contains audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died and graphic discussion of deaths in custody and racial profiling. Today on the show Marisa interviewed Dr Vicki Sentas, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law and Justice at UNSW Sydney. Marisa invited Vicki on the show to alert listeners about a landmark class action highlighting horrors of strip searches, and hear an overview of what has happened to date. Following a class action led by leading law firm Slater and Gordon and Redfern Legal Centre, a judgment was handed down in the Supreme Court of NSW which awarded significant damages to the lead plaintiff, Raya Meredith, for an unlawful strip search undertaken by NSW Police at the Splendour in the Grass Festival in 2018. After that, Marisa interviewed Cath Strong from the Defend Dissent Coalition who also did some brilliant MCing at last Tuesday's rally at Parliament House which had a number of speakers discussing new police powers. Cath joined Marisa to give a report back and talk about the Justice Legislation Amendment Bill, focusing on draconian anti-protest laws the Allan Government has been proposing. Finally, Marisa interviewed Dr Tamar Hopkins: Expert on racial profiling data, and Founder Centre Against Racial Profiling. She discussed findings, based on an analysis of Victoria Police's own 2024 data, revealing that Aboriginal people are now 15 times more likely to be searched and 10 times more likely to have force used against them than white people. Racialised communities are subjected to over-policing that frequently escalates into police violence.

When former Queensland Police Setective Keith Banks joined the force, he thought he was signing up to fight crime, not work alongside it. In this episode of Crime Insiders Detectives, Keith takes host Brent Sanders inside the world of outlaw motorcycle gangs, where power, loyalty and fear ruled the streets. But the real danger, he says, was within the Queensland Police itself. During the era of the infamous “Rat Pack,” corruption ran deep, and it took the Fitzgerald Inquiry to finally drag it into the light. Keith reveals what it was like leading the bikie intelligence unit during Queensland’s most corrupt chapter of policing, the price he paid for speaking out, and how the trauma of policing left him with PTSD.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS GROUP -A no-holds barred account of life in the elite police Special Operations Group, high on danger and adrenalin. Chris Glasl joined Victoria Police at nineteen, with one aim in mind: to become a member of the Special Operations Group. Ultra-fit and highly trained, the SOG are called to the most dangerous missions: hostage situations, gunmen on the loose and risky mobile intercepts. After going through an incredibly gruelling elimination process, Chris joined the SOG in 1994, thinking he was becoming part of a unit that was untouchable, indestructible and bonded so closely together they were a brotherhood like no other. He didn't find that brotherhood. Instead, Chris experienced a unit rife with bullying, lies and betrayal. In combination with the dangerous missions they undertook and the pressure he experienced in each one, Chris needed a release valve, and he found it by taking drugs. It was the only way to switch off the adrenalin, to sleep at night, to get through his days. And those days involved fatal shootings, a triple murder, a 100-million-dollar drug bust and the Port Arthur massacre, to name just a few. This is the ultimate insider account of what it takes to be one of the toughest police officers in the world, and the price it demands. It's a white-knuckle ride that you will never forget. TOPICS OF CONVERSATION: About Special Operations Group and his inspiration — how rehab journaling and unresolved trauma led Chris to tell his story. Life inside the SOG — the reality behind the elite image, from tight teamwork in the field to bullying and toxic culture behind the scenes. The cost of silence — how addiction, mental health struggles, and lack of support nearly destroyed him. Standing up — the controversy, censorship, and determination to reclaim and republish his book. A message of resilience — urging others in high-pressure roles to seek help, speak up, and prioritize mental health. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Christophe Glasl joined Victoria Police at nineteen with one goal—to become part of the Special Operations Group. After completing one of the toughest training programs in law enforcement, he served in the unit from 1994 to 1998. He now shares his experiences to shed light on the realities and pressures of serving in an elite police unit. To learn more about Christophe's story, check out his book Special Operations Group, available through major booksellers. GET THE BOOK!
