Join us for an author talk at Waverley Library as we explore the intriguing and mysterious history of Scientology in Australia.
From Rugby League players trying to improve their game, to Hollywood superstars and the depressed sons of media moguls, Scientology has recruited its share of famous Australians. Less known is that Australia was the first place to ban Scientology, or that Scientology spies helped expose the Chelmsford Deep Sleep Scandal.
Numerous Australians have held senior posts in the organisation only to fall foul of the top brass and lose their families as a result.
