Coal ships halted in major protest + Confessions of an ex-Scientologist

Monday Headlines: More than 100 arrested at major port protest, death toll rises in Hong Kong apartment blaze, Benjamin Netanyahu asks for pardon in corruption case, Gen Z Australians are attempting suicide more than previous generations and what we’ve learnt about Albo’s wedding.

Deep Dive: Scientology is turning to TikTok in Australia as a way to advertise to and recruit young people.

Mirriam Francis spent 26 years of her life as a member of the Church of Scientology in Australia, the US and UK.

At just 15 years old, she was working in the Department of Promotion and Marketing of Scientology in LA, a division of the church which looks to find the best ways to sell the religion to potential members.

Mirriam has since left the church and has recently been giving evidence at a Victorian inquiry into high control religious groups. In this episode of The Briefing, she’s joining Sacha Barbour Gatt to reveal why she’s deeply concerned at the church’s recent foray into TikTok.
