Four Corners

For six decades, this program has been exposing scandals, triggering inquiries, leading national debate, and confronting the issues that matter to us all. In 2021, Australia's premier investigative journalism program turns 60.

When former coalition staffer Brittany Higgins came forward to allege that she had been raped in a ministerial office in Parliament House, it horrified the country. Her account of effectively being silenced for political reasons sparked outrage and condemnation of the culture of Canberra. Four Corners investigates how and why Brittany Higgins’ story was kept quiet for almost two years. The program examines the key questions of who knew what, and when, and whether there’s been a cover-up.

In a shocking investigation, Four Corners reveals how a sex slave cult has been operating in plain sight here in Australia. Vulnerable young women, cut off from their families and with every aspect of their lives controlled, have been turned into slaves. Now some of those who have escaped are speaking out to warn others. The program reveals how this cult has been recruiting and exploiting women for years. Now authorities are calling on the public for help.
