Episode 7: The Bed Scene The latest episode of Not Guilty: The Craig McLachlan Case is now live.  Out NOW on: Spotify | Apple | Deezer | Amazon Hello Beautiful people, Episode 7 of Not Guilty: The Craig McLachlan Case is now live. This episode turns to allegations first aired publicly in the press against Craig McLachlan - allegations that would later become the subject of criminal charges and headlines that shaped a public narrative long before evidence was tested in the courtroom. In this instalment, Vanessa examines the final complainant in the matter, known as C1, and brings a central allegation and its surrounding story to a decisive end. Through a forensic and uncompromising analysis, the events surrounding the Rocky Horror bed scene are laid out in full. Evidence, timelines and testimony are examined piece by piece, revealing a version of events that is confronting, unexpected, and at times deeply shocking. But the episode goes further, asking questions that are rarely voiced aloud. When a complainant is not a stranger but a friend - when contact, messages and communication continued right up until the moment allegations were made - does that carry evidentiary weight? If no indication was ever given that anything was wrong, what does continued friendship mean, and how should a court interpret it? Vanessa also revisits commentary from the presiding Magistrate, questioning whether public remarks truly reflected what unfolded inside the courtroom, and whether the tone of those remarks shaped how the case was ultimately understood. Episode 7 is confronting listening. It challenges assumptions, revisits evidence, and asks whether the story told to the public was the same story tested under oath.   LISTEN ON SPOTIFY >> LISTEN ON APPLE >> LISTEN ON DEEZER >> LISTEN ON AMAZON >> UNFILTERED: Episode 7 WATCH THE COMPANION DISCUSSION ON YOUTUBE. In this week’s Unfiltered, Craig confronts Episode 7 head-on and finally lays to rest the infamous Bed Scene from the 2014 production of The Rocky Horror Show. No evasions. No fragments. The full account, in his own words. Joined by Michael Cain, the conversation turns to his former friend and colleague known as C1. What happens when a friendship - with its history, its warmth, its continued contact - is later recast through the lens of allegation? How were years of communications reinterpreted once accusations emerged? And what unfolded inside the courtroom when those complexities were finally tested? Layer by layer, the truth is laid bare. This episode traces the path from media exposure to police charge - examining how perception can crystallise long before evidence is examined, and how narratives can harden before a court ever hears the facts. WATCH NOW ON YOUTUBE >> Thank you, as always, for listening closely and engaging thoughtfully with this series as it moves into its final stages. See you next week. Love, Craig xx

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price on Liberal Party This Week

 

This week the Liberal Party room made the decision to change our leader. I’m very pleased to have voted for Angus Taylor and I’m looking forward to what he can achieve as he takes the fight to Labor. I congratulate Senator Jane Hume too, who was elected deputy leader. Changing leaders is not something done lightly. But as Jane said earlier in the week, “unless something changes, we’ll be wiped out”. That’s the reality we faced. But with change comes renewal and opportunity. It’s time to take the fight up against the worst government in our nation’s history. It’s time to fight for a better Australia. Under Angus’s leadership, I believe we can chart a way forward where we offer Australians a genuine opposition and an alternative government. I believe we can do that if we stop trying to be Labor-lite. Time and again, we’ve seen that when we try to be like Labor, people just vote for the real thing. Our values need to be concrete and tied to real outcomes. Stopping mass immigration, restoring cheap energy, bringing back industry, building more housing, ceasing classroom indoctrination, and reviving national pride. We must reject identity politics and refuse to play the game with the media or with Labor of pandering to sectional interests. Finally, it’s family, community, and nation that unite us, and a focus on building these three pillars will put us in a winning position. I’m looking forward to rebuilding and continuing to fight for you and the values we share. And I’m so glad to have you beside me as we get back into the fight! Time for REAL solutions.
