I see a lot of people who come to Australia and join groups, that seem to me, a little suss. So, I invited an expert on the show, someone who knows all about suss groups in Australia - Sarah Steel.
Sarah Steel is the host of the "Let's Talk About Sects" podcast, where she does a deep dive into suss groups, cults and sects.
We also discuss common tactics employed by suspicious groups to isolate and control members, and the power and corrupting influence of religious groups in Australian politics.
We talk about language usage related to cults and how manipulative behaviour can be present in any teacher-student relationship.
Finally, we emphasise the importance of questioning language and behavior in religious and secular contexts to promote critical thinking and avoid manipulation.
