Cults in Australian Media

News about cults feature in the mass media regularly. To those not impacted by the destruction they cause, they offer a sense of curiously and entertainment. To those who have lost a love one or have themselves been a victim of coercive high demand groups, the stories are a chilling reminder of how common cults are. 

Some people argue that destructive groups should not be "promoted" through media outlets, however, failure to do so can lead to ignorance of their existence.

 

The following collection is aimed at promoting awareness and can be considered in relation to Renée's Cult Ranking System, and the lists of Cults Operating in Australia and Other Groups Operating in Australia
