Bondi Badlands Episode 4: Thrill Killers
As Detective Sergeant Steve Page closes in on a group of suspects in the likely murders of Ross Warren and John Russell, a new witness comes forward, one who narrowly escaped being thrown off the Bondi cliffs on a hot summer's night in December 1989. In a walk around the headland with the detective, retracing his steps on that fateful night, the witness returns to the spot where he was nearly hurled over. By suspicious coincidence, it's exactly the same location where John Russell was very likely thrown to his death.

Bondi Badlands Episode 3: Blood City
The savage killing on the Bondi clifftops of a Thai man, Kritchikorn Rattanajurathaporn, in July 1990 results in murder convictions for three young men. But as the spree of anti-gay violence and murder escalates across Sydney, the LGBTQ community starts to fight back: from staging a mass demonstration at the gates of state parliament, to street patrols along Oxford Street, to angry activists splattering red paint over public buildings.
More than a decade later, as Detective Sergeant Steve Page reviews the cold cases of the disappearances and murders on the Bondi headland, he begins to join the dots with other killings across Sydney in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Bondi Badlands Episode 1: A Newsreader Vanishes
On a freezing night in July 1989, Ross Warren, a newsreader from WIN TV in Wollongong, NSW, vanishes into thin air on the southern headland at Sydney’s Bondi. After a brief investigation, the case lies dormant for years until a detective at Paddington police station, moved by a bundle of letters from Ross Warren’s mother, picks up the case – and discovers a pattern of horrific violence on the headland.

COVID kids: How our youngest are experiencing the pandemic
Germs weren't on five-year-old Freddie's radar before COVID-19. Now they are his "worst enemy".
With birthday parties banned, playgrounds intermittently roped off, play dates cancelled and visits with friends and family forbidden, life for our smallest members of society has changed.
Early childhood experts say birth to five years is a crucial development period, so what happens when their experience of the world is curtailed?
The Age spoke to a few children about their understanding and experience of the pandemic.
