Silentium: When the worst cruelty is silence!

February 15, 2023 • David Ayliffe • Season 1 • Episode 8

Closest I've come to swearing on my podcast. This a disturbing piece with claims of abuse of two young gay boys through hazing (initiation) at St John's College, Sydney University in 1985. I first came across this in 2018 when I found https://www.facebook.com/SilentiumMitre, the page the artist put together to tell the story and celebrate the Archbishop's Mitre (funny hat) he laboriously created to tell the story. A real "up you" to the religious hypocrits who know power but not love.

I have two stories on Medium that relate to this:
