## Resource

The Christian Brothers Catholic order has announced plans to liquidate its remaining assets, admitting there’s not enough left in the coffers to pay the compensation claims of potentially hundreds of victims of clerical sexual abuse. Lawyer and longtime advocate for hundreds of survivors Dr Judy Courtin says the announcement has blindsided her clients. Remember when seeing was believing? It’s a quaint idea in the AI age, when even the experts now say they can’t spot a fake. Digital forensics expert Hany Farid now uses code words with his colleagues and his wife to confirm he’s talking to a real person, and he warns humanity is at risk of losing its shared sense of reality. Sounds to warm the soul; musicians and story-tellers Mark Atkins and Erkki Veltheim perform their collaboration Mungangga Garlagula, (yarning by the fire).
