The Documents They Won’t Release
13/03/2026 | 20 mins.
There’s a reason this episode took longer to release.
After our last episode aired, we were contacted by multiple independent sources urging us not to drop the story. What they shared raised new questions we couldn’t ignore.
In this episode, we follow a name that continues to surface in connection with events in Burnie decades ago.
We also examine new figures from Tasmania Police that reveal a growing number of serious internal complaints and a pattern that appears again and again inside the system.
Finally, we reveal the outcome of a Right to Information request seeking documents about a controversial decision involving multiple police deaths.
The department confirmed the documents exist.
But they won’t release them.

The Ceremony Ten Days Later... that has never been shared
01/03/2026 | 19 mins.
****Content Warning:****This episode discusses alleged child sexual abuse and includes some graphic descriptions drawn from official Commission evidence. The content may be triggering or distressing. We encourage listeners to prioritise their well-being and pause or skip this episode if needed.
This isn’t hindsight. It’s a timeline.
In Episode 14, we go back inside the Ashley Youth Detention Centre and lay out the documented overlap appointments, movements, and professional relationships that now sit beside sworn Commission evidence.
As RTI requests unfold and more insiders come forward, this investigation keeps widening.
Because sometimes the most important question isn’t what happened.
It’s who knew and when.

A Family Member Speaks
12/02/2026 | 20 mins.
Up until now, we haven’t been able to secure an interview with a family member of Reynolds — but in this episode, that changes.
Speaking under the protection of anonymity, a verified source takes us inside the Reynolds family unit, offering rare insight into what was happening behind closed doors.
We also speak with Tom Wallace-Pannell from Maliganis Edwards Johnson, the lawyer representing victim-survivors of Reynolds’ offending across decades in Tasmania. You can contact them here

About Badge of Betrayal

A senior cop. Decades of rumours. A trail of victim-survivors, buried complaints, and a police culture that looked the other way. Badge of Betrayal blows open the true story of Senior Sergeant Paul Reynolds, the high-ranking Tasmanian officer who rose through the force while dark allegations swirled behind him. From the producers who brought you Our Little Edey, this series follows the threads others left untouched. As the walls close in, new leads emerge, connections surface, and the line between institutional failure and deliberate protection becomes disturbingly blurred. With whistleblowers breaking ranks, insiders exposing cover-ups, and victim-survivors finally being heard, Badge of Betrayal reveals how a man trusted with power was able to hide in plain sight for decades.
