The Silence Hides the Shame

***Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse, grooming, trauma, sexualised behaviour toward minors, and suicide. It may be distressing for some listeners. Please take care while listening. For years, it was brushed aside as banter. Something uncomfortable, but never fully spoken about. In this episode, another former student comes forward to describe the influence Reynolds had over a tight-knit group of boys, and the behaviour they are only now, as adults, beginning to understand differently. He speaks about grief, vulnerability, power, and the way trauma can shape a life long after childhood. He also reflects on why so many men stay silent, and what happens when that silence finally starts to break. This is a confronting and deeply personal account of shame, silence, masculinity, and the long shadow of things left unsaid.

The Regulator Speaks

***Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse, grooming, trauma, sexualised behaviour toward minors, and suicide. It may be distressing for some listeners. Please take care while listening. In this episode of Badge of Betrayal, we speak with Tasmania’s Independent Regulator, Louise Coe, about a serious gap in the state’s child safety oversight system. The Office of the Independent Regulator was created to oversee organisations that work with children and young people, including how they respond to allegations of reportable conduct. But in August 2025, Tasmania Police told the regulator they had received legal advice that they were not captured by the scheme meaning they stopped providing key information, including the identities of police officers involved in reportable conduct matters. For eight months, that gap remained. Louise explains why independent oversight matters, why the reporting scheme exists, and why police interactions with vulnerable young people require close scrutiny. She also discusses the importance of backdating the law to cover the period where reporting stopped, and why culture change inside institutions is just as important as technical compliance. Later in the episode, we share part of an anonymous email from another victim of Paul Reynolds. The email includes graphic and deeply distressing details of alleged grooming, emotional manipulation and sexual abuse, and shows how hearing this podcast has helped some people reframe what happened to them.

$1 Million Dollar Reward

In this final episode, Sally reflects on the emotional announcement that the reward for information into her mum Marion Barter’s disappearance has been increased to $1 million. After nearly three decades of searching, Sally travels to Sydney for the announcement at NSW Police Headquarters, speaks with Ben Fordham, and shares what this moment means for her family. She talks about the impact of Marion’s disappearance, the loss of her brother, the coronial findings, and the ongoing questions around the man identified as a person of significant interest. Sally also opens up about new information still being passed to police, her trip to Japan with Joni to search for records, the importance of correcting errors in missing persons profiles, and why families should be contacted with compassion when possible evidence is found. As the series comes to an end, Sally looks back on the journey, thanks those who have supported her, and explains why the search for Marion does not stop here. This is an episode about hope, grief, persistence, and the belief that someone, somewhere, still knows something. With one million reasons to come forward, Sally makes one thing clear: Marion matters, and so do all the missing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It Didn’t Break… It Bent

In 2019, a major review into Tasmania’s prosecution system found it was working “satisfactorily.” A few issues. Some pressure. Nothing the system couldn’t handle. But what happens when that pressure builds quietly… over time? Through an RTI-obtained document, a new internal review from 2024 reveals a system under strain growing case loads, increasing complexity, delays in disclosure, and resources struggling to keep up. In this episode, we step back from individual cases and examine the system itself the warning signs, the missed opportunities, and the environment these cases existed within.

The Child Safety Gap Inside TASPOL

A Tasmanian parliamentary hearing has exposed a shocking child safety loophole: for months, Tasmania Police were effectively outside the state’s reportable conduct scheme. In this episode, we unpack the committee bombshell, what the regulator revealed, and why the failure to report police matters is causing alarm.
