  • JANET KING - Season
    THE AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION AND SCREEN NSW PRESENTS A SCREENTIME, A BANIJAY GROUP COMPANY, PRODUCTION AACTA award winner Marta Dusseldorp reprises her lead role as the brilliant Senior Crown Prosecutor Janet King. Synopsis With gun crime exploding in the suburbs, Janet King (Marta Dusseldorp) is handpicked by a nervous government to head a Royal Commission into the surge of recent shootings. Unlike the world of the DPP, the Royal Commission allows Janet and her team to become the investigators – they can raid, interrogate and have police seconded to them. Conscripting solicitors Lina Badir (Andrea Demetriades), Richard Stirling (Hamish Michael), as well as the ambitious Owen Mitchell (Damian Walshe-Howling) as Counsel Assisting, with Detective Inspector Andy Campbell (Christopher Morris) as Police Liaison, Janet and her team peel back the complex layers of intrigue underpinning the illicit trade in weapons. As Janet exercises her powers and begins uncovering the truth, criminal and political forces begin to stir, bent on shutting down the Royal Commission, even if it means destroying Janet in the process. A shocking reveal brings Janet’s world crashing in on her as she faces legal proceedings of a deeply personal nature. Cast Janet King Marta Dusseldorp Owen Mitchell Damian Walshe-Howling Richard Stirling Hamish Michael Lina Badir Andrea Demetriades Andy Campbell Christopher Morris Tony Gillies Peter Kowitz Heather O’Connor Leah Purcell Bianca Grieve Anita Hegh Deborah Larsson Genevieve Hegney Major Simon Hamilton Aaron Jeffery

SYNOPSIS Northern Territory, Australia 1919. The Great War is over, the men have returned home. Many return to their normal lives in the cities in the south, others are drawn to the vast open spaces of the North. A sparsely populated wild frontier. They hunt buffalo, they hunt crocodile, and those that can join the overstretched Police service. Travis and Ambrose are two such men. A former sniper, Travis has seen the very worst of humanity and the only thing that keeps him on track is his code of honour, tested to its limit when a botched police operation results in the massacre of an Indigenous tribe. Travis saves a terrified young boy named Gutjuk from the massacre. He takes him to the safety of a Christian mission but unable to deal with the ensuing cover up, Travis leaves his police outpost and disappears into the bush. Twelve years later, 18-year-old Gutjuk hears news of the ‘wild mob’ – a renegade group of Indigenous warriors causing havoc along the frontier attacking and burning cattle stations, killing settlers. It’s said their leader is Gutjuk’s uncle, Baywara thought to be a survivor of the massacre.

    :: SCAN | journal of media arts culture :: Scan Journal vol 2 number 1 april 2005 Blue Murder: a RE-IMAGINED history Greg Levine & Stephen McElhinney Erich Auerbach, whilst discussing the influence of Joyce and Proust’s use of reflected consciousness and time strata, makes an interesting comparison between a novel’s conception of time and a film’s: a concentration of space and time such as can be achieved by the film (for example the representation, within a few seconds and by means of a few pictures, of the situation of a widely dispersed group of people, of a great city, an army, a war, an entire country) can never be within the reach of the spoken or written word. (Auerbach, 1991:546) The interesting part for us is the phrase “a great city”. In a few sequences a film can give you a version of the past far richer in detail than any history book in the same space of time. This paper will apply this idea to the tele-movie Blue Murder (1995), a quasi-fictional account of Sydney’s criminal milieu of the 1970s and 80s. Made in 1995 and screened on ABC TV in most parts of Australia shortly after, Blue Murder was not broadcast in NSW and the ACT until July 31, 2001. The 6- year delay was caused by a legal embargo placed on the mini-series because Neddy Smith, the main character depicted in the piece, was still on trial for the crimes the portrayed. We compare Blue Murder ’s representation of events in Sydney’s past with impressions of the present by visiting the haunts of the central characters and experiencing the space between representation and actual lived perception.

  • The Legal Implications of Underbelly
    ‘It’s A Jungle Out There’: The Legal Implications of Underbelly The banning of the broadcast of the real-life crime drama series, Underbelly, in Victoria in 2008 raises important issues about the impact of globalisation on the local administration of criminal justice. In this article David Rolph and Jacqueline Mowbray canvass the challenges presented by two significant globalising tendencies – internet technologies and human rights – through a case study of Underbelly and the related litigation.
