The Project 2025 ‘battle plan’ to give Trump unprecedented power | Four Corners
Four Corners speaks to Paul Dans, the director of Project 2025.
The 900-page 'battle plan’ is not directly aligned with Donald Trump, but has many staff members, including Dans, who previously served under his administration when he was US president.
Dans outlines his vision for a new Trump administration to ensure a Republican president is ready to govern on day one.
Should Trump win in the upcoming November elections, the project has recruited and vetted an ‘army’ of over 10,000 Trump supporters who are willing to serve in a new administration.
Dans says Project 2025 will dismantle the deep state and work to create a system that will facilitate Trump’s agenda.

Exposing Channel 7’s secrets | Four Corners
Channel Seven bills itself as a family friendly network, but a Four Corners investigation finds it to be a “second chance club” for senior men, described as a “degrading, soul-crushing" workplace.
Allegations of sexism, exploitation and extreme bullying at the network are rife and staff have been hospitalised.
In some extreme cases, they are unable to work or have been suicidal. Many staff have made legal claims against the network and many past staff have been gagged with non-disclosure agreements.
Reporter Louise Milligan and the Four Corners team have spoken to more than 200 people for this explosive story, including current staff who told them they believe there is a desperate need for change at both Seven and the broader commercial television industry.

How Donald Trump's election lies cost Fox News $1 billion | Four Corners
In a shocking twist to one of the biggest defamation trials in US history, Fox News has agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems more than AUD $1 billion over allegations the network spread misinformation about the 2020 US election.
Donald Trump's outlandish claims the election was rigged have been a legal nightmare for Fox News. As this case wraps up, several others continue against the network.
Two years ago, Four Corners reporter Sarah Ferguson investigated how Fox News promoted Donald Trump's propaganda and helped destabilise democracy in America.
This is an update to that special investigation, in light of the Dominion settlement.

The reality former criminals face when released from prison | Four Corners
Australia has one of the highest reoffending rates in the world.
Every year, 19,000 people leave prison in New South Wales, but less than three per cent of them get a bed in a supported accommodation program.
Reporter Linton Besser meets the lucky few who’ve been given a place at Sydney’s Rainbow Lodge – one of the longest continually running halfway houses in the world.
These men have committed multiple crimes and been in and out of prison for decades. Most have been cast out from their families in the process.
For many, the lodge’s three-month program is their last chance to take responsibility for their actions and prove they’re ready for the outside world – but one slip-up could land them back inside.

Exposing the territory handing out millions of dollars of water, for free | Four Corners
In the red soil of the Top End a new ‘silver bullet’ industry is emerging: cotton.
The Northern Territory government is rolling out the red carpet for this controversial crop as part of its huge development plans, but growers are already pushing the boundaries.
This Four Corners exposes a system riven by allegations of conflicts of interest that threatens to destroy some of the NT’s most famous tourism destinations.
All the while, ignoring the interests of traditional owners and warnings from scientists.

Inside the communities fighting against renewable energy | Four Corners
Wind power is essential for Australia to meet its green energy targets — but we’re not even halfway there and the issue is becoming increasingly politicised.
A new climate battle is now raging, pitting nature conservation against wind farm construction. It’s fracturing communities and leading to old enemies forming new alliances against renewables. Misinformation about wind power is flourishing, and complex regulation is holding Australia back on its cheapest and quickest path to net zero.
Four Corners reporter Angus Grigg travels to Nundle, a small community in New South Wales where an ambitious proposal to build a wind farm is dividing residents.
In coal country he meets a climate change sceptic and environmentalist who are teaming up, and he investigates the next frontier for...

Investigating Trump, Project 2025 and the future of the United States | Four Corners
There has never been a US president like Donald Trump — and now he’s back, this time with a detailed plan for his second coming.
Nearly four years after he was cast out by voters and accused of encouraging the American people to assault their own democracy with the attack on the US Capitol, the now convicted criminal wants to rebuild the country in his own image.
Ahead of the US election in November, Four Corners reporter Mark Willacy travels to Washington for the first of a special two-part series.
He sits down with White House insiders who witnessed the chaos of Trump’s first term — some who continue to support his vision, and others Trump now considers “traitors”.

Trump and the future of the United States of America | Four Corners
It was immigration that Donald Trump was talking about on stage during the assassination attempt that left him bloodied and defiant – and it’s one of the fundamental issues currently dividing the United States, alongside the economy, abortion, and race.
Ahead of the presidential election in November, reporter Mark Willacy continues his journey across the country for a Four Corners special.
Already, the election campaign has seen some stunning turns, with President Joe Biden bowing out of the presidential race.
In Part 2, Four Corners explores the key issues in the battleground states, travelling to the frontline of the immigration crisis in Arizona’s wild southern desert where Trump wants to “stop the invasion” of migrants at the border with Mexico, as well as an abortion clinic w...

Former Department of Justice attorney speaks out against Trump | Four Corners
Erica Newland served as an attorney at the Department of Justice under Donald Trump. It was her job to review executive orders for former president Trump to ensure they were lawful.
Newland claims many executive orders reflected ‘deep bigotries’ towards community groups and felt conflicted when working on orders that she believed might ‘harm others’.
The Tree of Life shooting at a synagogue in Pennsylvania was the turning point that pushed her to quit.
Newland believes the Trump administration was using the DOJ to leigitmise lies.
She now works for Protect Democracy, pushing against the Trump movement and the man she believes to be an authoritarian threat.

A new climate battle is now raging, pitting nature conservation against wind farm construction. It’s fracturing communities and leading to old enemies forming new alliances against renewables.

There has never been a US president like Donald Trump — and now he’s back, this time with a detailed plan for his second coming.
Nearly four years after he was cast out by voters and accused of encouraging the American people to assault their own democracy with the attack on the US Capitol, the now convicted criminal wants to rebuild the country in his own image.
Ahead of the US election in November, Four Corners reporter Mark Willacy travels to Washington for the first of a special two-part series.
He sits down with White House insiders who witnessed the chaos of Trump’s first term — some who continue to support his vision, and others Trump now considers “traitors”.
Trump wants to reshape the pillars of American democracy and give himself more power. Willacy goes inside “Project 2025”, the blueprint for a second Trump term and the army of recruits ready to carry out his orders.
Meanwhile strategy, security and defence experts warn of the impact another Trump presidency could have on America’s institutions, its democracy, and the rest of the world.

It was immigration that Donald Trump was talking about on stage during the assassination attempt that left him bloodied and defiant – and it’s one of the fundamental issues currently dividing the United States, alongside the economy, abortion, and race.
Ahead of the presidential election in November, reporter Mark Willacy continues his journey across the country for a Four Corners special.
Already, the election campaign has seen some stunning turns, with President Joe Biden bowing out of the presidential race.
In Part 2, Four Corners explores the key issues in the battleground states, travelling to the frontline of the immigration crisis in Arizona’s wild southern desert where Trump wants to “stop the invasion” of migrants at the border with Mexico, as well as an abortion clinic which sees protestors gather almost daily.
Willacy visits Georgia, where political fractures have opened up in Black communities that were once a largely united voice, and he goes inside the Trump juggernaut — attending one of the former president’s rallies with fans who are steadfast in their belief that he will make America great again.
CHAPTERS:
00:00 - The ranch
02:55 - What’s a stake?

Erica Newland served as an attorney at the Department of Justice under Donald Trump. It was her job to review executive orders for former president Trump to ensure they were lawful.
Newland claims many executive orders reflected ‘deep bigotries’ towards community groups and felt conflicted when working on orders that she believed might ‘harm others’.
The Tree of Life shooting at a synagogue in Pennsylvania was the turning point that pushed her to quit.
Newland believes the Trump administration was using the DOJ to leigitmise lies.
She now works for Protect Democracy, pushing against the Trump movement and the man she believes to be an authoritarian threat.
