INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Episode 4 dives beneath the public headlines and into the political and intelligence shadows left in the wake of Harold Holt’s disappearance. While Australia searched the surf, Canberra scrambled to stabilise a government with no leader — and silence became strategy.
We break down the Cold War tensions, internal Cabinet rivalries, and classified briefings that shaped Australia’s response in the hours and days after Holt vanished. This episode explores how restricted files, inconsistent public statements, and behind-the-scenes political manoeuvring created the perfect conditions for doubt, suspicion, and enduring conspiracy theories.
