It was an absolutely awesome raid. The cars kept honking and honking for us - and I remember two young girls thanking us deeply with tears in their eyes. Even a Jehovah's Witness woman thanked us. Sydneysiders are now very well informed of the abuses within the Church of Scientology, but we will keep informing them of the truth through ABC Nightline and a few other media outlets with more and more exposes.
Okay, it was a secret but here you go. The reason Steve Cannenes from ABC was filming me is because it was the tail end of my interview and personal testimony of my story for ABC Australia. That show will air very soon.
THIS week, the interviews done with Scarlett Hanna, daughter of Vicki Dunstan, Pres Church of Scientology Australia will be aired on Australian ABC television. We are unsure of the date as yet, so please watch closely. Scarlett is a remarkable young lady and deserves all the praise and support for her stand against human rights abuses and for coming forward as she has. It is Scarlett that referred Steve to me as well, and Steve decided I had so much information that it was worth doing a separate interview for it.
ABC (Australian Broadcasting Co) is doing a series. Mates, I cried at one point during the interview. For real. It is real hard to go through the old horrors in detail all over again. But it also felt SO good. It had to be done.
My deepest gratitude and thanks to everyone who helped put together the protest, who helped me with heaps of docs early and getting that Intro to Scn Ethics book at the last minute. We needed it as supporting reference.
Steve wanted filming done of me "in action". Well, Anons & Ex's, you're the ones that got me active so I thought it only appropriate that you be in the filming as well and it was really cool that Steve was agreeable about this. He's a really great guy. was with us through half the protest. Steve also gathered details of other witnesses for further shows.
These are very hard hitting exposes. Nobody held back and you will see ex's come forward on television now who you may never have seen or heard their stories before.
At our protest, the C of S people were pretty flustered when another 7 Ex's showed up from Canberra giving speeches. There were so many ex's in Sydney this week, plus Anons, all side by side telling the truth - and you have GOT to catch the Melbourne protest as well, which was SPECTACULAR and done simultaneously. Melbourne is simultaneously working with its media outlets as well.
Its a team effort and everyone is working hard. And its working. Its really happening.
