In the middle of suburban Australia is a secret compound that's labelled 'degrading' and 'inhumane', with allegations of keeping children prisoner.
Right in the middle of a quiet suburb is a place where children are separated from their parents, and forced to work full time for no pay, and live in squalid conditions.
Those who've survived this place say they were brainwashed into believing they could not leave, and that they deserved the shocking treatment dished out.
A young man who escaped the place with the help of his father, Shane Kelsey says “I lived in that garage for about a year and a half, maybe two years.”
Shane is now 21-years-old. Until just over a year ago he had never used the internet, watched television or followed the media.
“You're not allowed to read any books other than scientology books, you can't read newspapers, no radio, no movies, nothing,” Shane said.
Shane says he was held captive and groomed to see all of us on the outside as pathetic, useless and stupid.
“So I lived in a garage until that got flooded by a storm, and my mum got really pissed off and said 'what the hell' and so I got moved into a closet. It is a closet under the stairs - maybe two metres long and a metre wide,” Shane said.
The true Australian headquarters of the Church of Scientology are located in the Sydney suburb of Dundas. The RPF base - which stands for Rehabilitation Project Force - is where Scientologists are sent for punishment and training, for crimes that most of us would regard as trivial.

I seriously cannot look at Tom Cruise these days without feeling physically ill. I feel So sorry for Katie Holmes, she had such a promising life ahead of her.
It's such a shame John Travolta joined their ranks, I used to like the guy but again, as with Tom Cruise, I feel ill even looking at him now.

I do wonder how hard it would be to get a few 'bugs' in there.
Hopefully, when this investigation gets handed over to Bill Shorten he'll actually have the balls to look at it and perhaps send in the troops.

They still have the bigshots like Cruise, Travolta and Packer pumping money into them.....until that source is taken away from them then they can and still will fight.
But yes, more and more people are waking up to their nonsense. I even had my grandmother ask me what all this Scientology nonsense was the other day lol.
