Chapter 1: What was the outcome of the Craig McLachlan case?
A massive weight's been lifted off Craig McLachlan's shoulders. As you can imagine, we have a lot to say. It was Victoria's legal system that cleared the actor, who was in Sydney, to hear the verdict via video link. We've maintained a dignified and respectful silence for the past almost three years. Not guilty. The Craig McLachlan case.
Our panel seven spotlight show in 2021 covered the ABC's manipulation of the McLachlan accusers' interviews.
Chapter 2: How did the media influence the narrative around the allegations?
Sorry, that is not journalism. That is obscenely manipulative propaganda.
Hello, my name is Vanessa Scammell and I am here not as a conductor, which is my chosen profession, but as someone who has been a part of a story, a story that has yet to be told in its entirety.
My story centres around how reckless and unsubstantiated allegations can destroy people's lives and how such allegations effectively halted the career and life of one of Australia's most successful actors and personalities.
This is a podcast that examines, among other things, how difficult it is to change a narrative when page one guilt has been assumed and how the erosion of one of the most basic of human rights, the presumption of innocence, is ruining lives and establishing dangerous new social parameters.
This story contains nuance and detail that has otherwise been neglected in the black and white telling of this story. A story that has so very many shades of grey.
