À propos de cet audio
Nine years after Donald Mackay vanished, the story that Australia tried to bury starts clawing its way to the surface. As arrests turn into disappearances and files turn to ash, a handful of insiders and witnesses begin to crack under the pressure. From the arrest of a hitman in Melbourne to the mysterious flight of Robert Trimbole and the vanishing of Exhibit 47, The Politics of Forgetting exposes how power protects itself—through bureaucracy, silence, and fear.
When leaked memos known as The Domino Files ignite a panic inside Parliament, journalists, clerks, and senators find themselves caught between duty and danger. Because in a country built on secrecy, remembering becomes an act of rebellion.
This is the episode where the walls start to talk—and the cost of truth finally comes due.
