Multi-award winner, investigative journalist and business columnist with the ABC.
Hunting Ground
Hunting Ground is reported by Adele Ferguson and produced by Chris Gillett goes to air Monday 27 October at 8.30pm on ABC TV and ABC iview.
Drawing on over a year of reporting and newly obtained data, Ferguson shows the crisis is far worse than previously known, and far from over.
Despite government promises of reform after the first Four Corners investigation, Ferguson uncovers more than a hundred cases of alleged paedophiles who worked or are working in child care, enabled by systemic failures, weak oversight and a profit-driven industry.
