My name is Dale Kerrigan,[br]and this is my story.

0:00:48.592,0:00:51.932
<i>Our family lives at 3 Highview Crescent,[br]Coolaroo.</i>

0:00:52.086,0:00:54.924
<i>Dad bought this place[br]15 years ago for a steal.</i>

0:00:55.063,0:00:58.363
<i>As the real estate agent[br]said, "Location, location, location."</i>

0:00:58.548,0:01:00.243
<i>And we're right next door[br]to the airport.</i>

0:01:01.350,0:01:04.388
<i>It will be very convenient[br]if we ever have to fly one day.</i>

0:01:07.944,0:01:10.520
<i>Dad still can't work out[br]how he got it so cheap.</i>

0:01:10.590,0:01:13.775
<i>It's worth almost as much today[br]as when we bought it.</i>

0:01:13.842,0:01:16.701
<i>Our street was going to be the heart[br]of a major housing development.</i>

0:01:16.775,0:01:18.939
<i>But it never got up.</i>

0:01:19.007,0:01:22.702
<i>They reckon the planes put people off.[br]Them and the power lines.</i>

0:01:22.769,0:01:26.073
<i>Not Dad. He reckons power lines[br]are a reminder...</i>

0:01:26.148,0:01:28.594
<i>of man's ability[br]to generate electricity.</i>

0:01:28.667,0:01:33.352
<i>He's always saying[br]great things like that.[br]That's why we love him so much.</i>

0:01:33.417,0:01:36.472
<i>Dad is the backbone[br]of the Kerrigan family.</i>

0:01:36.542,0:01:39.249
<i>He made our billiard table.</i>

0:01:39.316,0:01:41.577
Shot, Dale.

0:01:41.643,0:01:45.524
<i>In fact, he's built half this house.[br]He's always planning extensions.</i>

0:01:45.596,0:01:47.444
I reckon we need a patio.

0:01:47.509,0:01:50.498
Oh, darl, how about we finish[br]the back room first?

0:01:50.570,0:01:53.407
No, I'm waiting[br]on some cheap siding.

0:01:53.472,0:01:55.352
I reckon we give[br]the patio another go.

0:01:55.416,0:01:59.144
<i>Dad is a tow truck driver.[br]One of the best in the game.</i>

0:01:59.210,0:02:01.656
<i>He takes great pride[br]in his work.</i>

0:02:01.729,0:02:04.338
<i>And he comes home[br]with so many stories.</i>

0:02:04.406,0:02:06.765
You see, the car was wrapped[br]around the pole,

0:02:06.830,0:02:09.601
so I said, " Why not hook the chain[br]on the back axle?"

0:02:09.667,0:02:11.515
See, no one[br]had thought of that.

0:02:11.580,0:02:15.363
<i>If Dad is the backbone,[br]Mum is the other bones. All of them.</i>

0:02:15.438,0:02:17.502
<i>She keeps[br]the family together.</i>

0:02:17.574,0:02:19.954
<i>Dad adores Mum,[br]and Mum adores him.</i>

0:02:20.029,0:02:23.312
<i>They met at the greyhounds one night,[br]and it was love at first sight.</i>

0:02:23.377,0:02:26.660
<i>Mum just loves craft.[br]And she can pretty up[br]just about anything.</i>

0:02:26.724,0:02:28.572
How did you do that?

0:02:28.637,0:02:32.517
- Spray can and stencil, darl.[br]That's all you need.[br]- You could sell that.

0:02:32.591,0:02:34.754
<i>Dad always reckons[br]Mum could open a shop,</i>

0:02:34.822,0:02:37.626
<i>but she has a good part-time job[br]in the office at Sunbeam.</i>

0:02:37.691,0:02:40.267
<i>Dad reckons Mum is[br]the greatest cook on Earth.</i>

0:02:40.338,0:02:43.077
- What do you call that, darl?[br]- Sponge cake.

0:02:43.143,0:02:46.035
Beautiful. And what's[br]that stuff on top?

0:02:46.108,0:02:49.326
- Icing sugar.[br]- How is it, kids?

0:02:49.392,0:02:52.610
And why would you want[br]to go out to a restaurant...

0:02:52.676,0:02:55.002
when this keeps coming up[br]night after night?

0:02:55.067,0:02:57.230
<i>I have two brothers[br]and a sister, all older than me.</i>

0:02:57.299,0:03:01.561
<i>Steve is an apprentice mechanic,[br]but he spends most of his time[br]reading the Trading Post.</i>

0:03:01.635,0:03:03.700
<i>He just loves[br]buying and trading.</i>

0:03:03.771,0:03:05.934
Dad, ergonomic chairs.[br]Four of them.

0:03:06.003,0:03:08.199
- What does he want?[br]- One-eighty.

0:03:08.266,0:03:10.114
He's dreaming.

0:03:10.179,0:03:12.886
<i>Him and Dad[br]really know bargains.</i>

0:03:12.953,0:03:16.617
<i>Steve is also an ideas man.[br]That's why Dad calls him the ideas man.</i>

0:03:16.683,0:03:18.531
<i>He has lots of ideas.</i>

0:03:18.596,0:03:21.846
It's a motorcycle helmet[br]with a built-in brake light.

0:03:21.912,0:03:24.749
You are an ideas man, Steve.

0:03:24.813,0:03:27.259
<i>Dad thinks all of us[br]are tremendous,</i>

0:03:27.332,0:03:29.657
<i>but I guess it's no secret[br]that Tracey's his favorite.</i>

0:03:29.723,0:03:31.571
How do I look, Dad?

0:03:31.636,0:03:33.569
<i>Dad just loves her.</i>

0:03:33.570,0:03:36.252
You look beautiful.

0:03:36.570,0:03:37.555
Thanks, Dad.

0:03:37.630,0:03:41.989
<i>Tracey's the only girl in the family,[br]apart from Mum and Gran.</i>

0:03:42.062,0:03:44.834
<i>Tracey constantly[br]gave Dad proud moments.</i>

0:03:44.899,0:03:48.051
<i>Once she was[br]on "The Price Is Right".</i>

0:03:48.119,0:03:50.977
<i>It was such[br]an exciting afternoon for us.</i>

0:03:51.052,0:03:52.900
Swap them around.

0:03:52.965,0:03:55.954
<i>None of us could actually[br]believe it was Tracey up there[br]with Larry Emdier.</i>

0:03:56.025,0:03:59.841
$45,000 worth of prizes.[br]The luggage needs to be more than 640.

0:03:59.915,0:04:03.067
It needs to be less[br]than 740.

0:04:03.135,0:04:05.428
<i>She almost won the lot.</i>

0:04:07.276,0:04:09.147
<i>If only she'd known[br]the price of the luggage.</i>

0:04:09.286,0:04:11.244
I'm so sorry about that.

0:04:11.860,0:04:14.206
<i>But she still managed to come home[br]with a tumble dryer and drill set.</i>

0:04:14.275,0:04:19.526
<i>She is the only member of the Kerrigan[br]family who'd had a college education.</i>

0:04:19.600,0:04:23.263
<i>Dad reckons the day she graduated[br]as a fully-qualified hairdresser...</i>

0:04:23.330,0:04:25.558
<i>was about[br]the proudest day of his life.</i>

0:04:25.625,0:04:28.429
<i>I knew he thought[br]about that... a lot.</i>

0:04:28.494,0:04:30.820
<i>There were only two places[br]he did his thinking--</i>

0:04:30.886,0:04:34.962
<i>in the poolroom and out the back,[br]looking up at the power lines.</i>

0:04:35.825,0:04:38.725
<i>Yep, Dad's a real thinker.</i>

0:04:37.759,0:04:42.476
<i>But the proudest day[br]was the day she got married[br]to this nice guy called Con.</i>

0:04:42.541,0:04:45.693
<i>He is an accountant,[br]but also a fanatical kickboxer.</i>

0:04:45.761,0:04:48.087
<i>Now Tracey's[br]taken up kickboxing too.</i>

0:04:48.153,0:04:50.566
<i>Dad could not get[br]the smile off his face.</i>

0:04:50.639,0:04:52.965
<i>And he gave a speech[br]that brought the house down.</i>

0:04:53.031,0:04:55.890
Now, as the bride's parents,[br]I don't mind paying for the wedding,

0:04:55.963,0:04:58.703
but could you please stop busting[br]all them plates?

0:04:58.769,0:05:01.889
That being[br]a Greek custom and all.

0:05:02.913,0:05:04.848
I suppose, as a father,

0:05:04.923,0:05:07.879
you'd like your daughter[br]to marry one of your own.

0:05:07.951,0:05:11.734
And let's not beat around the bush.[br]The Greeks have a reputation.

0:05:11.809,0:05:14.701
<i>At first, the Petropoulouses[br]thought he was having a go at them.</i>

0:05:14.774,0:05:17.100
<i>But Dad was just saying[br]how much he thought of Con.</i>

0:05:17.165,0:05:20.600
I never thought anyone[br]could love our Trace...

0:05:20.672,0:05:22.770
as much as me,[br]Sal and the boys.

0:05:22.840,0:05:25.547
But there is[br]another person. Con.

0:05:27.242,0:05:29.280
Smart, polite,[br]fit as a fiddle.

0:05:29.315,0:05:33.509
And anyone who loves our Trace[br]as much as us deserves our love.

0:05:33.654,0:05:37.452
So we love you, Con.[br]We love you.

0:05:38.528,0:05:39.413
Thank you, and, uh,

0:05:39.482,0:05:42.103
"Kalispera".

0:05:42.266,0:05:44.041
That's "Good evening."

0:05:47.935,0:05:51.570
<i>We'd had many top nights,[br]but this was the most top.</i>

0:05:52.330,0:05:54.104
<i>Pity my oldest brother[br]couldn't be there.</i>

0:05:54.256,0:05:57.016
<i>His name's Wayne.[br]He's in jail.</i>

0:05:57.463,0:05:59.847
<i>Eight years[br]for armed robbery.</i>

0:06:00.086,0:06:03.941
<i>Many people call him the black sheep[br]of the family. But not Mum and Dad.</i>

0:06:04.000,0:06:07.019
<i>He got caught up with the wrong crowd.[br]He didn't mean to rob the gas station.</i>

0:06:07.152,0:06:11.002
<i>Now he's sorry. With good behavior,[br]he'll be out in a couple of years.</i>

0:06:11.200,0:06:13.074
<i>I visit him every Friday.</i>

0:06:13.557,0:06:15.410
- How's Mum?[br]- Good.

0:06:17.091,0:06:19.031
- How's Dad?[br]- Good.

0:06:21.235,0:06:23.306
- How's Trace?[br]- Good.

0:06:26.323,0:06:28.361
- How are you?[br]- Good.

0:06:30.700,0:06:33.236
- How's Dave?[br]- He's all right.

0:06:34.261,0:06:35.347
Good.

0:06:35.830,0:06:39.045
<i>Even though he's the oldest[br]and I'm the youngest, we get on great.</i>

0:06:39.182,0:06:41.107
<i>We can just chat for hours.</i>

0:06:42.127,0:06:44.677
Thanks for coming down.

0:06:44.748,0:06:47.266
- You want some chewy?[br]- No.

0:06:47.337,0:06:51.359
<i>So, as you can see,[br]our family is very close-knit.</i>

0:06:51.430,0:06:53.948
<i>We also have pets.[br]Four greyhounds.</i>

0:06:54.019,0:06:55.806
<i>Banshee,</i>

0:06:55.873,0:06:57.628
<i>Starflash,</i>

0:06:57.696,0:07:00.562
<i>Trailblazer and Coco.</i>

0:07:00.637,0:07:04.082
<i>Coco is the best,[br]most successful Dad has ever had.</i>

0:07:04.154,0:07:07.533
<i>She picked up two firsts[br]in the country and a third in town.</i>

0:07:07.607,0:07:09.777
<i>Dad feeds them every morning[br]in big bowls...</i>

0:07:09.844,0:07:12.330
<i>that Steve made out[br]of tractor hubcaps.</i>

0:07:12.403,0:07:15.270
<i>They are good dogs. Good to Dad.[br]And Dad is good to them.</i>

0:07:15.344,0:07:19.116
<i>All of them are descended[br]from his first dog, Red Rocket.</i>

0:07:19.181,0:07:23.072
<i>Dad never stops marveling[br]at the beauty of the greyhound.</i>

0:07:23.145,0:07:25.598
<i>In fact, he doesn't even[br]race them for the money.</i>

0:07:25.670,0:07:29.050
<i>He reckons they are noble animals.[br]Skinny and sleek...</i>

0:07:29.123,0:07:30.977
<i>and have a beautiful snout.</i>

0:07:31.042,0:07:35.162
<i>Another thing Dad loves[br]is his boat. Sea Lady.</i>

0:07:35.230,0:07:38.042
<i>He cleans it every Saturday[br]with something else Steve built.</i>

0:07:38.107,0:07:40.080
<i>It's a brush[br]with a hose in it.</i>

0:07:40.153,0:07:42.834
<i>Dad never stops marveling[br]at Steve's ideas.</i>

0:07:42.903,0:07:45.137
He's a ideas man, Steve.

0:07:45.204,0:07:47.657
<i>Steve gave it to Dad[br]for Father's Day.</i>

0:07:47.730,0:07:51.436
<i>That's something our family[br]prides itself on. Presents.</i>

0:07:51.503,0:07:54.086
<i>Even though none of us[br]have a real lot of money,</i>

0:07:54.157,0:07:56.358
<i>we love giving[br]each other presents.</i>

0:07:56.426,0:07:59.490
- He got a rod and reel from Trace.[br]- A rod and reel.

0:07:59.560,0:08:01.729
- I gave him a new muzzle.[br]- A muzzle.

0:08:01.797,0:08:04.129
<i>Wayne sent him an ashtray[br]he'd made in prison shop.</i>

0:08:04.195,0:08:06.943
An ashtray?[br]But I don't smoke.

0:08:07.009,0:08:11.794
<i>And Mum, well, Mum got him a big German[br]beer mug from Franklin Mint.</i>

0:08:11.868,0:08:15.607
<i>Dad couldn't believe his eyes. It was[br]too good to even drink beer out of.</i>

0:08:15.672,0:08:17.525
I'd like[br]to do pottery.

0:08:17.590,0:08:19.923
Oh, you should.[br]You'd be good at it.

0:08:19.989,0:08:23.273
This is going straight[br]to the poolroom.

0:08:23.275,0:08:25.831
<i>All Dad's most prized possessions[br]are in the poolroom.</i>

0:08:25.900,0:08:29.289
<i>All his mementos and things[br]that remind him of something special.</i>

0:08:29.381,0:08:32.230
<i>So by him saying it was going straight[br]to the poolroom...</i>

0:08:32.297,0:08:34.083
<i>meant he thought[br]it was special.</i>

0:08:34.150,0:08:37.280
That is a collector's item.

0:08:37.349,0:08:40.990
This has been[br]the best Father's Day ever.

0:08:41.058,0:08:42.910
<i>Of course there[br]were ups and downs.</i>

0:08:42.976,0:08:45.363
<i>Wayne being in jail[br]was an example of a down.</i>

0:08:45.438,0:08:48.501
<i>But, all in all,[br]3 Highview Crescent was a happy home.</i>

0:08:48.571,0:08:50.479
<i>Dad called it his castle.</i>

0:08:50.585,0:08:52.917
<i>But one day in June,</i>

0:08:52.983,0:08:55.152
<i>a knock at the door[br]was to change all that.</i>

0:08:55.221,0:08:57.074
- Yeah?[br]- Mr. Darryl Kerrigan?

0:08:57.139,0:09:00.235
- Yeah?[br]- John Clifton.[br]I'm from the local council.

0:09:00.304,0:09:02.157
- Is this about the dogs?[br]- No.

0:09:02.222,0:09:04.075
- The aerial? The extensions?[br]- No.

0:09:04.141,0:09:08.871
Look, if this is about[br]my truck on the nature strip,[br]I've had it out with you guys.

0:09:08.936,0:09:12.446
No, I'm a valuer[br]with the local council.[br]I'm here to do a land valuation.

0:09:12.517,0:09:15.383
- What for?[br]- Well, all properties[br]get valued from time to time.

0:09:15.458,0:09:18.652
So, you'd be able[br]to give me a value on this place?

0:09:18.720,0:09:21.564
- That's my job.[br]- That'd be good.

0:09:21.628,0:09:25.106
- Do you want me[br]to show you around?[br]- If you wouldn't mind.

0:09:25.178,0:09:28.558
Oh, not at all.[br]Be pleased to.

0:09:28.630,0:09:32.685
Because, between you and me,[br]I reckon the values around here are--

0:09:36.367,0:09:39.942
As you can see,[br]I've put a fair bit of work into it.

0:09:40.012,0:09:42.344
Would you like me to point out[br]the features as we go along?

0:09:42.409,0:09:44.775
- If you wouldn't mind.[br]- You see that lace up there?

0:09:44.840,0:09:47.619
- Yeah?[br]- Fake. Plastic.

0:09:47.685,0:09:50.999
Gives the place[br]a Victoriana feel.

0:09:51.074,0:09:54.006
The chimney? Fake too.

0:09:54.079,0:09:55.932
Why is it there?

0:09:55.997,0:09:59.955
Charm. Adds a bit of charm.[br]Look at the size of that aerial.

0:10:00.025,0:10:03.284
That's a big aerial.[br]What do you think? Add a bit of value?

0:10:03.350,0:10:06.162
- Hard to say. Yeah.[br]- Yeah.

0:10:06.227,0:10:08.975
You can overcapitalize,[br]can't you?

0:10:09.042,0:10:11.374
But it's a huge aerial.

0:10:16.043,0:10:19.968
And this is my backyard.

0:10:24.163,0:10:26.845
- Shuttle. From Melbourne to Sidney.

0:10:26.914,0:10:30.227
- How close are you[br]to the end of the runway?[br]- Ah, just over the fence.

0:10:32.636,0:10:35.481
- Is that the runway there?[br]- Yeah.

0:10:35.546,0:10:38.161
- There?[br]- Yeah.

0:10:38.230,0:10:39.463
Beautiful machines.

0:10:39.773,0:10:42.772
Sometimes you think[br]they're gonna land right on top of you.

0:10:43.796,0:10:46.431
Freaks the dogs, though.[br]Greyhounds.

0:10:46.704,0:10:48.971
Large kennel.

0:10:49.517,0:10:52.514
Well, originally, it was a tree house[br]when the kids were growing up.

0:10:52.585,0:10:54.973
I was thinking of turning it[br]into another room.

0:10:55.047,0:10:56.806
- But the county said no.[br]- Ah.

0:10:56.942,0:11:00.717
Now, here back, all landfill.[br]Not allowed to build there.

0:11:00.878,0:11:04.156
- Has the soil been tested?[br]- Oh, yeah.

0:11:04.224,0:11:07.123
Nothing too serious[br]in there.

0:11:07.197,0:11:10.096
What do you know[br]about lead?

0:11:13.303,0:11:16.649
Oh, this is[br]beautiful, darl.

0:11:16.724,0:11:19.471
- What do you call these things again?[br]- Meat loaf.

0:11:19.537,0:11:21.390
Everybody cooks[br]meat loaf, darl.

0:11:21.456,0:11:23.363
Yeah, but it's[br]what you do with them.

0:11:23.438,0:11:26.883
Mum reckons the trick is you[br]don't use minced meat.[br]She gets topside and crushes it.

0:11:26.954,0:11:28.862
Is that right, darl?[br]Well, it shows.

0:11:28.936,0:11:31.106
She gets silverside[br]and she'll crush that too.

0:11:31.175,0:11:34.271
Dad, a guy's selling[br]a pair of jousting sticks.

0:11:34.339,0:11:37.021
Jousting sticks?[br]What does he want for them?

0:11:37.089,0:11:40.185
- Make us an offer.[br]- Darl, what do you want[br]with jousting sticks?

0:11:40.255,0:11:43.154
Oh, I don't know. But I reckon they[br]wouldn't come up all that often.

0:11:43.228,0:11:46.869
But they're jousting sticks.[br]What would anyone want[br]with jousting sticks?

0:11:46.935,0:11:50.129
Well, if you get them[br]for half price, it's a bargain.

0:11:50.197,0:11:52.051
- Give him a call?[br]- Yeah.

0:11:54.034,0:11:57.642
I'll be interested to see[br]this fella's valuation.

0:11:57.710,0:12:00.359
- Are you thinking[br]of selling, Dad?[br]- Oh, no, mate, no.

0:12:00.428,0:12:02.695
But it would be nice to know[br]what we're sitting on here.

0:12:02.762,0:12:04.189
Clay.

0:12:04.265,0:12:06.596
No, mate.[br]The value of the house.

0:12:06.662,0:12:11.481
You know, it's odd, because[br]Farouk reckoned he had[br]some bloke around as well.

0:12:11.554,0:12:14.072
Must've been doing[br]the whole street.

0:12:14.143,0:12:16.476
- Maybe the market's on the move.[br]- Here?

0:12:16.542,0:12:18.611
Dad? Four-fifty.

0:12:18.683,0:12:21.942
For jousting sticks?[br]Tell him he's dreaming.

0:12:22.009,0:12:23.981
How much is a jousting stick worth,[br]Dad?

0:12:24.055,0:12:26.866
Well, it couldn't be more[br]than 250.

0:12:26.932,0:12:30.376
- Depending on the condition.[br]- When do we find out?

0:12:30.448,0:12:34.023
Well, we should have the official notice[br]in a couple of weeks.

0:12:34.094,0:12:35.979
But just quietly,

0:12:36.044,0:12:40.350
I reckon we could be in[br]for a little surprise.

0:12:40.455,0:12:43.267
Compulsorily acquired.

0:12:44.772,0:12:47.104
Compulsorily acquired.

0:12:48.608,0:12:51.737
You know what this means,[br]don't you?

0:12:51.805,0:12:56.470
- They're acquiring it compulsorily.[br]- It must be a mistake.

0:12:56.537,0:12:59.350
They're gonna take our place,[br]and we don't get a say in it.

0:12:59.415,0:13:03.601
- Well, how can they do that?[br]- I don't know. 70,000 bucks.

0:13:03.666,0:13:05.639
Who the hell[br]is Air Link?

0:13:05.712,0:13:09.669
- Dad, a guy's selling seven coolers.[br]- Hang on, Steve.

0:13:09.741,0:13:11.910
What's that?[br]Is this about Wayne?

0:13:11.979,0:13:14.343
No, no. Look.

0:13:14.409,0:13:16.513
What do you make[br]of that?

0:13:18.820,0:13:22.559
Jesus. This is[br]a kick-out notice.

0:13:22.626,0:13:26.419
I'll get it. I'll get it.

0:13:31.193,0:13:33.678
- Ah, good day, Farouk.[br]- Hello, Mr. Kerrigan.

0:13:33.750,0:13:35.756
Can you read to me something,[br]please, I get today?

0:13:35.829,0:13:38.161
Yeah, sure, mate,[br]but I'm a bit busy at the moment.

0:13:38.227,0:13:41.072
Can I-- Can I come--

0:13:41.136,0:13:44.679
- Shit. You got one too.[br]- Got what?

0:13:44.749,0:13:48.062
What the hell[br]is going on?

0:13:48.137,0:13:51.614
Jesus Christ.[br]Jack!

0:14:01.757,0:14:04.406
Jack, it's Darryl, mate.

0:14:10.038,0:14:13.385
Someone is going[br]to take me house, Darryl.

0:14:20.173,0:14:24.097
- Mr. Kerrigan.[br]- Yeah. Yeah.

0:14:26.375,0:14:28.380
Mr. Kerrigan--

0:14:28.454,0:14:31.614
Darryl, this is[br]a compulsory acquisition.

0:14:31.683,0:14:33.720
Yeah.

0:14:33.792,0:14:37.138
Mr. Kerrigan,[br]the airport is expanding.

0:14:37.213,0:14:39.893
They're setting up one of the largest[br]freight-handling facilities...

0:14:39.963,0:14:43.222
in the Southern Hemisphere,[br]and they need a great deal of space.

0:14:43.288,0:14:45.674
Yeah.

0:14:45.750,0:14:50.088
And your house...[br]is on that space.

0:14:50.162,0:14:52.615
Yeah. Yeah,my house.

0:14:52.687,0:14:55.019
That's right. Your house.

0:14:55.085,0:14:57.122
That's why[br]you'll be duly compensated.

0:14:57.195,0:15:01.250
No. No, you've missed the point.[br]I'm not interested in compensation.

0:15:01.319,0:15:03.521
I don't wanna go.

0:15:03.589,0:15:05.660
Under the laws[br]of compulsory acquisition--

0:15:05.731,0:15:09.241
and I don't necessarily[br]agree with those laws--

0:15:09.311,0:15:11.698
I can understand[br]the pain and trouble--

0:15:11.774,0:15:14.260
Would you stop pretending[br]to be on my side?

0:15:15.769,0:15:18.320
All right, Mr. Kerrigan,[br]I'll state this simply.

0:15:18.392,0:15:20.246
There is[br]an ironclad agreement...

0:15:20.311,0:15:23.024
between federal, state[br]and local governments[br]and the Airports Commission.

0:15:23.091,0:15:24.944
Yeah?

0:15:25.009,0:15:29.228
Well, where's the agreement[br]with Darryl Kerrigan,[br]3 Highview Crescent, Coolaroo?

0:15:29.294,0:15:32.673
Where'sthat agreement?

0:15:32.746,0:15:36.834
It's not gonna happen.

0:16:38.862,0:16:41.315
I don't know, Darryl.[br]This isn't my area.

0:16:41.387,0:16:44.451
What do you mean this is not your area?[br]This is law.

0:16:44.521,0:16:46.853
Darryl, the airport[br]wants to buy your place.

0:16:46.919,0:16:50.825
Airports come under federal law.[br]Federal? I just do small stuff.

0:16:50.898,0:16:52.758
Conveyancing, magistrates.

0:16:52.824,0:16:55.549
- You defended Wayne.[br]- Yeah, and he got eight years.

0:16:55.616,0:16:58.942
Yeah, but you did your best.[br]I mean, you can hold your head up high.

0:16:59.018,0:17:01.196
He was the one that[br]held up the service station.

0:17:01.265,0:17:04.242
- I don't know anything[br]about this sort of stuff.[br]- But they can't do this.

0:17:04.315,0:17:07.553
- I don't know. Maybe they can.[br]- They can't.

0:17:07.619,0:17:10.563
Look, I'll ring around[br]and I'll see what I can find out.

0:17:10.636,0:17:13.196
Good on you, Dennis. Eh.

0:17:13.269,0:17:15.127
How is Wayne?

0:17:15.194,0:17:18.914
Good. Yeah, good.[br]Behaving himself.

0:17:18.980,0:17:21.192
- Any word?[br]- Nah, nah.

0:17:21.260,0:17:24.652
They reckon he's still[br]a couple of years off.

0:17:24.724,0:17:26.837
I'll let you know.

0:17:26.907,0:17:29.305
<i>But Dad was never one[br]to bring worries home.</i>

0:17:30.343,0:17:34.512
<i>Even in the down times he'd still[br]tell us funny stories about his day.</i>

0:17:34.579,0:17:38.387
It's a head-on between[br]a Geo and a Volksy.

0:17:38.462,0:17:42.368
Dad also had a way[br]of making everyone feel important.

0:17:42.441,0:17:45.232
Come on, Dale.[br]Tell 'em.

0:17:45.298,0:17:48.887
Go on. Tell 'em.[br]Dale dug a hole.

0:17:48.958,0:17:51.649
- Like the time I dug a hole.[br]- Started the patio.

0:17:51.717,0:17:55.372
- Good on you, Dale.[br]- And he'd compliment Mum every[br]single night on her cooking.

0:17:55.440,0:17:59.161
Well, hello.[br]How's this, boys? Whoo-hoo!

0:17:59.227,0:18:01.624
- What do you call this?[br]- Chicken.

0:18:01.698,0:18:04.839
- Yeah, but it's got something[br]sprinkled on it.[br]- Seasoning.

0:18:04.909,0:18:06.769
Seasoning.

0:18:06.834,0:18:09.558
Looks like everybody's[br]kicked a goal.

0:18:09.626,0:18:11.486
How are our[br]backs feeling?

0:18:11.551,0:18:14.595
<i>Steve did get them[br]ergonometric chairs.</i>

0:18:14.664,0:18:17.355
<i>And Mum had already[br]started prettying hers up.</i>

0:18:17.425,0:18:20.499
<i>Dad placed a great deal[br]of importance on mealtime.</i>

0:18:20.570,0:18:22.430
<i>He had[br]a very strict rule:</i>

0:18:22.495,0:18:26.786
<i>When the family starts to eat,[br]the television is definitely[br]turned down.</i>

0:18:26.861,0:18:31.095
<i>But as soon as we've finished eating,[br]it's a different story.</i>

0:18:31.160,0:18:33.820
That was great.

0:18:33.889,0:18:36.745
Dad, 7:30.

0:18:36.809,0:18:39.917
All right,[br]time for some fun.

0:18:39.987,0:18:43.708
<i>Dad reckons there's only one show better[br]than Funniest Home Videos,</i>

0:18:43.774,0:18:46.532
<i>and that's The Best[br]of Funniest Home Videos.</i>

0:18:46.598,0:18:50.253
<i>It made Dad laugh. And when Dad laughed,[br]his whole body joined in.</i>

0:18:50.322,0:18:52.270
<i>And then we would too.</i>

0:18:52.343,0:18:54.520
Gong 'im, Red!

0:18:54.588,0:18:59.076
<i>It was funny how on the fun nights,[br]part of me got sad,</i>

0:18:59.146,0:19:02.352
<i>'cause I'd think about[br]my big brother in prison[br]and wonder what he was doing.</i>

0:19:03.864,0:19:06.260
<i>Wayne always reckoned[br]he was doing fine,</i>

0:19:06.337,0:19:10.539
<i>but I get the feeling[br]he was missing us more[br]than he was letting on.</i>

0:19:10.604,0:19:13.165
<i>It'll be great[br]when he comes home.</i>

0:19:20.617,0:19:22.730
You're a ripper, Dennis.

0:19:22.801,0:19:27.035
I said you're[br]a bloody ripper!

0:19:27.100,0:19:30.493
Yeah, okay.

0:19:30.567,0:19:34.604
- That's it, Sal. All fixed.[br]- What did he say?

0:19:34.674,0:19:39.357
He said I have recourse[br]to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

0:19:39.426,0:19:42.751
All I gotta do is run[br]up there, put my case,[br]and they can go and get stuffed.

0:19:42.828,0:19:44.688
Good on you, darl.

0:19:44.753,0:19:47.511
- He still hasn't noticed, Mum.[br]- What?

0:19:47.577,0:19:51.297
- Oh, it's finished.[br]- Today.

0:19:51.365,0:19:54.373
How is that?[br]You should open a shop.

0:19:54.444,0:19:58.133
Dad, some guy's selling[br]an overhead projector.

0:19:58.201,0:20:00.061
Nah--

0:20:00.126,0:20:02.949
Nah, hang on, Steve.[br]What's he asking?

0:20:03.014,0:20:06.319
- One-fifty.[br]- Tell him he's dreaming.

0:20:06.384,0:20:09.623
- Yeah.[br]- So what else[br]did Dennis have to say?

0:20:09.689,0:20:12.599
- Nothing. It's fixed.[br]- Yeah, but when's the hearing?

0:20:12.675,0:20:15.171
Monday. And I know exactly[br]what I'm gonna say.

0:20:15.242,0:20:18.700
- Don't babble on, darl.[br]- I don't babble on.[br]When do I babble on?

0:20:18.773,0:20:21.497
- You do babble on.[br]- All right.

0:20:21.565,0:20:24.387
But I tell you[br]what we're gonna do.

0:20:24.453,0:20:27.080
Friday we're gonna[br]pick up Trace and Con,

0:20:27.149,0:20:31.154
and then we're going straight up[br]to Bonnie Doon for the weekend.

0:20:31.225,0:20:35.394
And we're not worrying about[br]those clowns for another second.

0:20:35.462,0:20:39.248
- Mum! Price is Right'son.[br]- All right, eh.

0:20:39.313,0:20:43.099
I'd better ring up Farouk and Jack[br]and Evonne and the others...

0:20:43.165,0:20:46.207
and tell 'em[br]what's going on.

0:20:51.830,0:20:55.999
<i>Trace and Con had[br]a great honeymoon in Thailand.</i>

0:20:56.066,0:20:58.889
<i>We met them as they came off[br]the plane with a baggage cart,</i>

0:20:58.954,0:21:01.777
<i>which was lucky 'cause[br]they had heaps of stuff.</i>

0:21:03.768,0:21:06.974
<i>We couldn't wait to hear all[br]the stories about their trip,</i>

0:21:07.042,0:21:09.384
<i>and we didn't have[br]to wait all that long either.</i>

0:21:09.450,0:21:12.174
<i>'Cause one of the good things[br]about living next to the airport...</i>

0:21:12.241,0:21:14.582
<i>is that it doesn't[br]take long to walk home.</i>

0:21:24.823,0:21:27.996
And they had these masks[br]which you put over your eyes[br]when you're sleeping...

0:21:28.064,0:21:29.924
so that you can't[br]see anything.

0:21:29.989,0:21:32.330
- And they were complimentary.[br]- Yeah, they were for free.

0:21:32.397,0:21:34.376
<i>It was the first time[br]anyone in our family...</i>

0:21:34.451,0:21:36.311
<i>had traveled[br]outside the county.</i>

0:21:36.377,0:21:38.554
<i>And we just sat glued[br]listening to all the details.</i>

0:21:38.623,0:21:41.248
Oh, Mum, we had a choice between fish[br]and Beef Wellington.

0:21:41.318,0:21:44.010
- Beef Wellington?[br]- What's that, darl?

0:21:44.080,0:21:46.289
It's beef[br]done in pastry.

0:21:46.357,0:21:48.885
And it was an absolute[br]credit to the airline.

0:21:48.957,0:21:50.818
- Did they show a film?[br]- Two.

0:21:50.884,0:21:52.744
- Two?[br]- Yeah.

0:21:52.809,0:21:54.855
- And they also had--[br]- What were they?

0:21:54.927,0:21:57.936
- We saw Twister. And they had--[br]- Was it on a screen or a telly?

0:21:58.007,0:22:01.913
Telly. And they had[br]easy listening, classic gold,[br]contemporary rock, world--

0:22:01.987,0:22:04.165
What was the other one,[br]the other film?

0:22:04.234,0:22:06.575
- Uh,Juman-- Jumanji, yeah.[br]-Jumanji.

0:22:06.791,0:22:09.559
- And with the headphones--[br]- Which one was first?

0:22:09.624,0:22:11.946
- Twister. You could[br]turn the sound all--[br]- How many on the way back?

0:22:12.012,0:22:14.813
- Dale! You can ask all this later.[br]- Sorry, Trace.

0:22:14.878,0:22:17.895
It was so dry in the plane[br]that your hair actually dehydrates.

0:22:17.966,0:22:21.839
- Doesn't it, Con?[br]- It loses its moisture.[br]- It's so interesting.

0:22:21.914,0:22:23.489
<i>We could have[br]listened for hours,</i>

0:22:24.067,0:22:25.728
<i>but then it[br]was presents time.</i>

0:22:26.001,0:22:28.889
For you, Dad. It's a samurai sword[br]letter opener.

0:22:28.963,0:22:30.992
That is handcrafted.

0:22:31.064,0:22:34.592
How's that, love?[br]That is just--

0:22:34.660,0:22:37.038
This is going straight[br]to the poolroom.

0:22:37.112,0:22:39.305
You should use it, Dad.

0:22:39.374,0:22:42.325
This I am not even taking[br]out of the wrapper.

0:22:42.398,0:22:46.847
<i>They bought Mum a genuine Rolex[br]for 15 bucks off a guy at the beach.</i>

0:22:46.919,0:22:49.047
<i>He said he'd mail[br]the warranty later.</i>

0:22:49.115,0:22:53.218
<i>I got a necklace with a shark tooth.[br]They got a Walkman for Steve.</i>

0:22:53.286,0:22:56.565
<i>'Cause it was Friday,[br]I told Trace I'd take[br]Wayne's present to him.</i>

0:22:56.629,0:22:59.580
<i>It was an elephant,[br]'cause elephants bring good luck,</i>

0:22:59.653,0:23:02.257
<i>especially if the trunks are up,[br]and his trunk was up.</i>

0:23:03.283,0:23:06.018
<i>It really made Wayne's day.</i>

0:23:06.084,0:23:08.819
- She's great, isn't she? Trace.[br]- Yeah.

0:23:08.885,0:23:12.184
It brings good luck.[br]She's coming in on Monday.

0:23:12.260,0:23:14.833
Great. And when's Dad going in[br]to do that hearing?

0:23:14.903,0:23:16.749
- On Monday.[br]- Yeah?

0:23:16.813,0:23:21.198
- Yeah. He reckons they can't do it.[br]- Dad would know.

0:23:21.271,0:23:25.340
- You going up to[br]Bonnie Doon tonight?[br]- Yeah. Maybe. I don't know.

0:23:25.409,0:23:28.589
<i>I didn't want to tell Wayne[br]that we were going to Bonnie Doon,</i>

0:23:28.655,0:23:31.456
<i>just in case he'd feel bad[br]that we were going to Bonnie Doon.</i>

0:23:31.521,0:23:35.069
<i>He liked it there.[br]We all liked it there.</i>

0:23:35.204,0:23:38.013
<i> We're going to Bonnie Doon </i>

0:23:38.079,0:23:40.967
<i>We all left soon after,[br]except for Trace and Con.</i>

0:23:41.041,0:23:44.502
<i>As you can just imagine,[br]they were just married and[br]wanted some time to themselves.</i>

0:23:44.574,0:23:46.734
<i>So they drove up[br]in their own car.</i>

0:23:46.803,0:23:49.537
<i>Dad had a song he used to sing[br]about going to Bonnie Doon.</i>

0:23:49.604,0:23:52.556
<i>Only he sang it a lot,[br]and it was a bit repetitive.</i>

0:23:52.628,0:23:54.473
Darl!

0:24:00.184,0:24:02.821
- Dad, radar!

0:24:09.873,0:24:12.205
- How much did that cost?[br]- Seventy bucks.

0:24:12.337,0:24:14.651
Just paid for itself.

0:24:16.529,0:24:19.069
Dale, why don't you[br]unload the boat, Mate?

0:24:19.221,0:24:22.139
Steve, don't forget[br]the dog food, pal.

0:24:26.566,0:24:29.963
Hey, boy. Hey!

0:24:30.036,0:24:34.552
- Bloody marvelous to be[br]up here, isn't it, Dale?[br]- Yeah.

0:24:34.619,0:24:37.583
- Bonnie Doon.[br]- Dad loved Bonnie Doon.

0:24:37.600,0:24:38.852
<i>How do I describe it?</i>

0:24:39.063,0:24:41.256
<i>It is a little town[br]on a big lake.</i>

0:24:41.324,0:24:45.840
<i>It's a beautiful place,[br]especially this time of year[br]when the water levels are down.</i>

0:24:45.909,0:24:48.481
<i>Dad could not believe his luck[br]when he found this place.</i>

0:24:48.551,0:24:50.875
<i>It was a bargain,[br]and he couldn't work out why.</i>

0:24:50.939,0:24:53.826
<i>It was just a block of land[br]with a beautiful view.</i>

0:24:53.900,0:24:56.570
<i>It took him five years[br]to build this place.</i>

0:24:56.638,0:24:59.210
<i>He bought an unfinished kit home[br]out of the Trading Post,</i>

0:24:59.280,0:25:02.579
<i>built it in the backyard[br]and towed it up here with his truck.</i>

0:25:02.655,0:25:04.977
<i>He was the only bloke[br]he knew with a holiday home.</i>

0:25:05.043,0:25:07.105
<i>Not a mobile home,[br]a holiday home.</i>

0:25:07.175,0:25:09.650
<i>And he reckoned we were[br]the luckiest family in the world.</i>

0:25:09.722,0:25:14.248
- Dale, I reckon we're the luckiest[br]family in the world. - Yeah.

0:25:14.249,0:25:15.291
<i>He loved the serenity of the place.</i>

0:25:15.357,0:25:17.296
How's the serenity?

0:25:17.435,0:25:19.544
<i>I think he also just loved the word.</i>

0:25:19.673,0:25:21.797
So much serenity.

0:25:23.300,0:25:27.199
Let's get to bed.[br]Tomorrow is going to be a great day.

0:25:27.200,0:25:27.931
Yeah.

0:25:31.166,0:25:33.609
<i>If there's one thing[br]Dad loved more than serenity,</i>

0:25:33.680,0:25:36.156
<i>it was an outboard motor[br]on full throttle.</i>

0:25:42.944,0:25:46.343
Listen to that![br]Singing like a bird!

0:25:46.414,0:25:49.684
<i>He just loved Bonnie Doon,[br]and he reckoned the faster you went,</i>

0:25:49.684,0:25:50.918
<i>the more you saw of it.</i>

0:25:50.975,0:25:51.919
Look at that!

0:25:52.487,0:25:55.538
- What?[br]- Back there.

0:25:55.539,0:25:59.616
<i>But eventually he found a place[br]he reckoned looked like a good spot.</i>

0:25:59.617,0:26:02.006
I reckon this looks like a good spot.

0:26:03.069,0:26:06.047
<i>Dad loved fishing. And he really[br]looked after his equipment.</i>

0:26:06.460,0:26:10.021
<i>He said they only made on good rod,[br]it's called the 'ugly stick'.</i>

0:26:10.166,0:26:14.285
<i>It's so strong, you can bend it[br]right around on itself.</i>

0:26:14.286,0:26:17.584
Look at that.[br]Bends right around itself.

0:26:18.988,0:26:21.636
<i>The lake had trout,[br]redfin and carp.</i>

0:26:21.707,0:26:24.575
<i>The carp was not a good eating fish,[br]but it was good catching.</i>

0:26:24.575,0:26:26.484
<i>They could grow[br]to quite a size.</i>

0:26:26.485,0:26:29.860
<i>Genuinely, that just hooked himself.[br]But occasionally Dad went crafty.</i>

0:26:31.462,0:26:32.662
- Got a nibble.

0:26:33.032,0:26:37.100
<i>Dad reckoned that fishing[br]was 10 percent brains[br]and 95 percent muscle...</i>

0:26:37.100,0:26:39.340
<i>and the rest[br]was just good luck.</i>

0:26:41.733,0:26:45.996
<i>We pulled off a few carp that day.[br]And each of us had a muscle ache.</i>

0:26:50.295,0:26:52.496
- Where's Con?[br]- Down the shops.

0:26:52.996,0:26:54.609
You and Con talked about kids, yet?

0:26:55.311,0:26:57.531
Yeah, Con wants to start[br]straight away.

0:26:57.532,0:26:59.153
But, you know,[br]I've got a career.

0:26:59.154,0:27:00.343
Of course.

0:27:00.344,0:27:03.005
So, I said I'm not having kids[br]until I'm at least 23.

0:27:03.006,0:27:04.868
Times have changed.

0:27:19.100,0:27:21.235
- Gale had a boy.[br]- Was he a whopper?

0:27:21.236,0:27:24.233
10 pounds. They got to be[br]a big beefy family.

0:27:24.234,0:27:28.472
Tyler Jake. Even the birth notice[br]was beef. Stork and everything.

0:27:28.473,0:27:30.891
Shannon was 9 pounds.[br]Would you mind then?

0:27:30.892,0:27:33.720
Uh, I needed a pair of booties.[br]You always liked booties.

0:27:34.306,0:27:36.891
- I reckon you should make[br]faked flowers. - Uh, yeah.

0:27:37.145,0:27:38.939
- Jenny makes fake flowers.[br]- Jenny?

0:27:38.940,0:27:40.159
- Yeah.[br]- Jenny Jenny?

0:27:40.160,0:27:42.317
No, Malcoway Jenny. She reckons[br]the trick is to make 'em real

0:27:42.318,0:27:45.208
but not too real. Just real enough[br]to know that they're fake.

0:27:46.082,0:27:48.856
- I'd like to do pottery.[br]- Wow, on a wheel?

0:27:48.860,0:27:51.363
Yeah. I just love mugs.

0:27:52.100,0:27:53.946
Yeah, I'd like[br]to make my own mugs.

0:27:55.100,0:27:56.676
- Mum?[br]- Yeah?

0:27:56.925,0:27:58.237
- What's the matter?[br]- Nothing.

0:27:59.272,0:28:00.432
- You worried about the house?[br]- No.

0:28:00.499,0:28:05.099
- Well, Dad said everything's[br]going to be okay.[br]- Of course it is, darl.

0:28:10.584,0:28:13.680
We ended up[br]with four carp and one redfin.

0:28:13.749,0:28:18.185
A reasonable day's fishing,[br]considering we had to get back[br]earlier when Coco got seasick.

0:28:18.258,0:28:20.808
Steve wasn't looking[br]all that good either.

0:28:25.707,0:28:28.519
Keep it still, Trace.

0:28:30.310,0:28:32.163
Disciplined,[br]isn't he, Sal?

0:28:34.339,0:28:38.111
Here are you and I relaxing,[br]having a beer, and he's still training.

0:28:38.176,0:28:40.563
Yeah, he just loves[br]that sport.

0:28:40.637,0:28:44.147
- Well, you gotta have[br]a passion for something.[br]- Yeah.

0:28:46.966,0:28:50.063
Ours is serenity.

0:28:52.466,0:28:55.812
Dad, where do you want me to put[br]the chicken coop?

0:28:55.887,0:28:58.307
Out the back, Steve.

0:29:00.684,0:29:04.128
Forty-five bucks. You couldn't buy[br]the materials for that.

0:29:04.199,0:29:07.066
Now, what do you want[br]with a chicken coop?

0:29:07.142,0:29:09.473
And what do we want[br]with a kit home?

0:29:09.538,0:29:12.983
Oh, yeah, yeah,[br]yeah, yeah.

0:29:13.056,0:29:16.282
Now, give me a kiss,[br]you big hunk of a man.

0:29:50.042,0:29:54.006
Marvellous, ain't it?[br]The lake, the kids.

0:29:58.037,0:30:01.327
Oh, look at the dogs.[br]Don't they love it?

0:30:04.276,0:30:06.156
Oh, smell that.

0:30:07.340,0:30:09.512
- Diesel.[br]- Yep.

0:30:11.712,0:30:13.980
Pity Wayne can't be here.

0:30:14.046,0:30:17.490
- Darl.[br]- No, no, I could've done better.

0:30:19.001,0:30:22.478
Well, let's start[br]cooking this feast.

0:30:22.550,0:30:25.416
- Who ordered medium rare?[br]- Me.

0:30:25.492,0:30:27.345
Good stuff.

0:30:27.410,0:30:30.025
Check that, Steve.[br]It could be a little underdone.

0:30:30.094,0:30:34.434
- I bet they don't have places[br]like this in Thailand, Con.[br]- No, Mr. Kerrigan.

0:30:34.507,0:30:37.352
Hey, hey, hey.[br]"Darryl" now, mate.

0:30:37.416,0:30:39.618
Sorry, Darryl.

0:30:39.686,0:30:43.392
- It's a good place, though.[br]- Yeah, yeah, I'm curious.

0:30:43.460,0:30:47.710
Now, I know it's unfair[br]to compare anyplace to Bonnie Doon,

0:30:47.775,0:30:50.107
but why would I want to go there[br]instead of here?

0:30:50.173,0:30:52.985
- It's for young people, Dad.[br]- I know that, Trace.

0:30:53.050,0:30:56.560
- It's the culture, Darryl.[br]The place is full of culture.[br]- Chockers.

0:30:56.631,0:30:58.484
- Oh, yeah.[br]- Something for everyone.

0:30:58.550,0:31:00.719
- What was that movie again, Con?[br]- Dale.

0:31:00.787,0:31:02.640
There were so many stories.

0:31:02.705,0:31:05.038
At the hotel[br]Trace and I were staying in,[br]they had this one channel:

0:31:05.103,0:31:07.523
kickboxing, 24 hours a day.

0:31:08.393,0:31:11.485
It was just so interesting[br]to hear about another county.

0:31:11.486,0:31:14.647
Meals were 5 dollars, mum.[br]The most beautiful sadeys(?).

0:31:14.648,0:31:15.445
What's that, darl?

0:31:15.446,0:31:18.786
It's meat on skew with[br]peanut sauce and wheat.

0:31:18.798,0:31:21.381
And the stories[br]went on and on all night.

0:31:21.531,0:31:24.756
The value for money is[br]absolutely second to none.

0:31:24.757,0:31:27.296
- One of the other Sony Walkmans.[br]- With presets?

0:31:27.297,0:31:31.466
Yeah, presets and megabytes.[br]$85 dollars Australian.

0:31:31.797,0:31:33.495
- Wow.[br]- Bargain?

0:31:34.888,0:31:37.674
But I reckon someone like you, Steve,[br]could have got it down even further.

0:31:38.721,0:31:40.596
I can't wait to get a beer and coffee.

0:31:41.250,0:31:44.251
- It's great to have you two back.[br]- It's great to be back.

0:31:44.742,0:31:47.130
Great to be up here.

0:31:47.204,0:31:50.911
They haven't got[br]a place like this in Bangkok.

0:31:50.977,0:31:53.276
How's the serenity?

0:31:54.878,0:31:56.731
Not a sound.

0:32:08.881,0:32:11.944
- Feeling good, Sal.[br]- Good on you, darl.

0:32:12.014,0:32:14.183
Steve, could you move[br]the Corolla?

0:32:14.252,0:32:16.584
I need to get to the Torana out[br]so I can get to the Commodore.

0:32:16.650,0:32:18.982
I'll have to get the keys[br]to the Cortina if I'm going[br]to move that Corolla.

0:32:19.047,0:32:21.379
- Watch the boat, mate.[br]- Yeah.

0:32:21.446,0:32:23.865
- Know why I'm feeling good, Sal?[br]- Why?

0:32:23.939,0:32:27.710
I'll tell you why.[br]Because this is an example[br]of the individual.

0:32:27.775,0:32:30.424
Of how the individual,[br]if he has the guts to stand up...

0:32:30.494,0:32:33.687
and shove it right up[br]those people who think[br]they can stand on top of you.

0:32:33.754,0:32:36.980
The people who think[br]they can do that, that's why.

0:32:42.163,0:32:44.103
What do you mean[br]what's my plea?

0:32:44.353,0:32:46.587
- What is the case you are putting?[br]- I told you.

0:32:46.655,0:32:49.685
I mean, you just can't walk in[br]and take a man's house.

0:32:49.756,0:32:52.568
Mr. Kerrigan, are you disputing[br]the amount of compensation?

0:32:52.633,0:32:57.298
I'm not interested in compensation.[br]I'm saying that you can't kick me out.

0:32:57.364,0:32:59.566
Very well.

0:32:59.635,0:33:01.999
- What is your argument?[br]- That's it.

0:33:02.064,0:33:05.739
That's my argument.[br]You can't kick me out.

0:33:05.805,0:33:09.631
And on what law do you base[br]that argument?

0:33:09.706,0:33:13.118
- The law[br]of bloody common sense![br]- Mr. Kerrigan.

0:33:13.190,0:33:16.635
- I must ask you[br]to restrain yourself.[br]- Yeah, all right.

0:33:16.707,0:33:20.959
Mr. Kerrigan, this is[br]the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

0:33:21.024,0:33:24.217
You are an applicant.[br]You need to show--

0:33:24.284,0:33:27.859
I need to show?[br]So it's up to me, is it?

0:33:27.929,0:33:31.439
Mr. Kerrigan, Air Link,[br]as a federal authority,

0:33:31.510,0:33:34.093
has the right to purchase property[br]compulsorily.

0:33:34.164,0:33:38.763
And, as far as I can see,[br]you have offered no evidence[br]to refute that right.

0:33:38.832,0:33:40.772
No evidence?

0:33:40.845,0:33:45.315
It's not a house. It's a home.[br]A man's home is his castle.

0:33:45.385,0:33:50.138
I mean, it's-- it's--[br]it's Jack's castle.[br]It's Farou-Farouk's castle.

0:33:50.212,0:33:52.480
You just can't walk in[br]and steal our homes.

0:33:52.547,0:33:55.359
- You will be compensated.[br]- I don't wanna be compensated.

0:33:55.424,0:33:57.756
You can't buy[br]what I've got.

0:33:59.260,0:34:02.553
Mr. Kerrigan, I am rapidly[br]running out of patience.

0:34:02.618,0:34:06.128
- You're running out of patience.[br]- What is your case in law?

0:34:08.117,0:34:10.449
Well, okay, um,

0:34:10.514,0:34:15.429
the law is supposed[br]to be about justice-- no, fairness.

0:34:15.502,0:34:20.449
And I know that sometimes[br]what is right and fair is[br]not clear-cut. It's a bit iffy.

0:34:20.522,0:34:25.371
But this is not iffy.[br]I mean, this is as clear as day.

0:34:25.444,0:34:30.393
It is right and fair[br]that a family be allowed[br]to live in its own house.

0:34:30.464,0:34:32.764
That is justice.

0:34:34.268,0:34:36.755
I rest my case.

0:34:38.871,0:34:42.513
<i>Dad reckoned he'd nailed it.[br]Farouk agreed.</i>

0:34:45.202,0:34:47.753
<i>But Dad was wrong.</i>

0:34:47.824,0:34:52.610
I can't believe I lost.[br]I've let you down.

0:34:52.684,0:34:55.976
No, no, Mr. Kerrigan.[br]You do good job.

0:34:56.040,0:34:59.104
- Please, Farouk, call me Darryl.[br]- Okay, Mr. Darryl.

0:34:59.174,0:35:02.170
But, you know, I never heard that one[br]you say before.

0:35:02.243,0:35:05.403
"A man's home is his castle."[br]Well, that's an old saying.

0:35:05.472,0:35:09.658
No, no. Other one. Other one.[br]"Is not house, is home."

0:35:09.724,0:35:12.657
Farouk, I lost.

0:35:12.730,0:35:15.248
I know, Mr. Darryl.

0:35:15.319,0:35:17.837
Farouk, how much[br]are they paying you?

0:35:17.909,0:35:20.972
- $65,000.[br]- For your place?

0:35:21.042,0:35:25.261
Yes. They say the plane,[br]they fly overhead, drop the value.

0:35:25.326,0:35:29.152
I don't care. In Beirut,[br]plane fly overhead, drop bomb.

0:35:29.227,0:35:33.282
- I like this plane.[br]- What are we going to do, Darryl?

0:35:33.351,0:35:35.236
I don't know, Jack.

0:35:35.302,0:35:39.008
This is the only place I can afford.[br]I don't wanna move.

0:35:39.074,0:35:40.927
You see what[br]they're doing, Sal?

0:35:40.992,0:35:43.063
Mm.

0:35:43.133,0:35:46.643
- How long you lived here, Jack?[br]- Three years.

0:35:46.714,0:35:50.126
Now, in the area.[br]How long have you lived around here?

0:35:50.199,0:35:52.205
Fifty-seven years.

0:35:52.278,0:35:55.657
Fifty-seven years.

0:35:55.730,0:35:59.786
And they're gonna[br]kick you out on your ass.

0:35:59.855,0:36:04.041
Well, bugger 'em.[br]I'm not giving up, Jack.

0:36:04.107,0:36:08.359
If they wanna play things by the law,[br]fine. We'll play by the law.

0:36:08.423,0:36:11.268
But they're not[br]the only big guns in town.

0:36:11.333,0:36:15.606
If it's gonna be lawyers, I'm gonna[br]hit them with the big artillery.

0:36:15.712,0:36:19.986
Hang on, Darryl.[br]Jesus, these fucking photocopiers.

0:36:20.060,0:36:22.873
What the fuck is that?[br]I cleared tray three.

0:36:22.938,0:36:24.791
Why don't you get your girl[br]to do that for you?

0:36:24.856,0:36:28.845
She's not here on Mondays.[br]She does Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.

0:36:28.916,0:36:31.564
F-3. What the fuck[br]is that?

0:36:31.634,0:36:33.771
- Dennis, how did it go?[br]- Not good.

0:36:33.839,0:36:37.611
I spoke to every barrister I know.[br]No one wants to touch it.

0:36:37.676,0:36:39.911
All right. You do it.

0:36:39.977,0:36:42.365
I told you, Darryl,[br]I'm not qualified.

0:36:42.440,0:36:45.699
You're not qualified?[br]Now I've heard everything.

0:36:45.766,0:36:47.835
What do you mean[br]you're not qualified?

0:36:47.907,0:36:50.174
I mean I'm not[br]in the big time.

0:36:50.241,0:36:52.148
You have lost faith[br]in yourself, Dennis.

0:36:52.224,0:36:54.904
- Darryl--[br]- You have lost faith.

0:36:54.972,0:36:58.766
Darryl, it's over my head.[br]It's over your head too.

0:36:58.841,0:37:02.612
Over my head? Dennis.

0:37:02.678,0:37:05.675
- Darryl, have you heard[br]of the Barlow Group?[br]-No.

0:37:05.747,0:37:09.127
It's basically a big investment company[br]controlled by three blokes...

0:37:09.199,0:37:11.052
worth about[br]a half a billion each.

0:37:11.117,0:37:13.570
Well, the Barlow Group[br]is Air Link.

0:37:13.643,0:37:15.780
I thought Air Link[br]was the government.

0:37:15.850,0:37:19.807
It's a government authority,[br]but all the money's coming from Barlow.

0:37:19.877,0:37:24.282
It's a way of privatizing[br]without privatizing.[br]Anyway, it's a big, big thing.

0:37:24.354,0:37:27.220
Every level of government.[br]Huge investment.

0:37:28.254,0:37:30.292
All right, fine.[br]So they're big.

0:37:30.364,0:37:32.272
But why do they[br]wantmy house?

0:37:32.346,0:37:35.605
Why don't they just fill in[br]the old quarry and build it there?

0:37:35.671,0:37:38.570
I don't know. Maybe it's just cheaper[br]to pull down more houses.

0:37:38.645,0:37:43.147
- So we fight 'em.[br]- Darryl, they want this thing to work.

0:37:43.217,0:37:47.970
- They're gonna get their way.[br]- And you know why people[br]like that get their way?

0:37:48.044,0:37:51.337
Because people like us[br]don't stand up to 'em.

0:37:51.401,0:37:53.504
Now, they've still[br]gotta play by the rules.

0:37:53.575,0:37:57.401
Darryl, they write the rules.[br]They own the game.

0:37:57.475,0:38:01.246
Fuck, Dennis. It's my fucking house.[br]You're not gonna run scared on me.

0:38:02.622,0:38:04.858
I can't do this by myself.

0:38:04.925,0:38:07.606
All right, mate.

0:38:07.674,0:38:10.290
Let me think about it.

0:38:14.835,0:38:18.891
- Con's working late tonight.[br]- He's just so busy.

0:38:18.961,0:38:21.773
I cannot believe[br]this postcard arrived today.

0:38:21.838,0:38:23.843
Thanks[br]for dropping in.

0:38:23.916,0:38:25.920
How's he treating[br]my princess?

0:38:25.993,0:38:27.846
Dad!

0:38:27.912,0:38:30.626
All right,[br]all right.

0:38:30.693,0:38:33.560
You saw[br]some amazing things.

0:38:33.635,0:38:36.186
Now, that is[br]a bloody big statue.

0:38:36.256,0:38:39.385
- Yeah, and it's all made of gold.[br]- Is that so?

0:38:41.724,0:38:44.023
This bloke's[br]gonna win the cars.

0:38:44.090,0:38:47.250
- How's the salon?[br]- Good.

0:38:47.319,0:38:49.172
And look at these models.

0:38:49.237,0:38:53.488
They've got ripper bodies,[br]but they let themselves down[br]in the hair department.

0:38:53.552,0:38:57.258
You ought to contact[br]Channel Nine, get[br]a contract with them.

0:38:57.325,0:38:59.428
Dad, it doesn't work[br]like that.

0:38:59.498,0:39:03.870
Well, look at them and look at you.[br]Now, that is a head of hair.

0:39:03.943,0:39:06.755
- Just beautiful.[br]- Thanks, Dad.

0:39:06.820,0:39:08.760
I'm only stating[br]the truth.

0:39:08.835,0:39:11.484
Dad, what's a pulpit?

0:39:11.552,0:39:15.706
Where the minister gives[br]his sermon from. How much?

0:39:15.772,0:39:19.413
- Eight hundred.[br]- Dreaming.

0:39:19.481,0:39:22.610
Actually, I know how[br]to get you on there.

0:39:22.678,0:39:26.700
- Send in a photo of you[br]for the home viewers.[br]- Dad, if you dare.

0:39:26.770,0:39:30.215
- Oh, I've got quite a few lying around.[br]- Dad!

0:39:30.287,0:39:33.765
Actually, I think I've got one taken[br]when you were two...

0:39:33.836,0:39:35.688
and you didn't have[br]any clothes on.

0:39:35.753,0:39:37.606
Dad! Don't you--

0:39:37.672,0:39:40.386
- Quite a few to choose from there.[br]- Don't-- No!

0:39:44.770,0:39:47.834
<i>That night I thought of Wayne again.</i>

0:39:47.903,0:39:51.282
<i>I wondered what he was doing[br]and whether the elephant's[br]trunk was still up.</i>

0:39:51.356,0:39:53.209
<i>'Cause that[br]brings good luck.</i>

0:40:06.415,0:40:08.268
So, in conclusion,

0:40:08.333,0:40:11.810
my client will be appealing the decision[br]to the federal court...

0:40:11.882,0:40:16.101
and, as an interim, will[br]be seeking an injunction...

0:40:16.166,0:40:19.774
to stop any further action[br]in this matter.

0:40:19.842,0:40:22.654
Sincerely, Dennis Denuto.

0:40:53.316,0:40:55.769
Hammersley and Laycock.[br]May I help you?

0:40:55.841,0:40:57.880
Yes, putting you through now.

0:41:02.075,0:41:06.294
I'm afraid he can't come[br]to the phone right now, Farouk.[br]He's up in the ceiling.

0:41:06.359,0:41:11.177
All right, I'll get him[br]to give you a call[br]as soon as he comes down.

0:41:11.251,0:41:14.826
Okay. Oh, give my love to Taboulah.

0:41:14.895,0:41:16.835
- Good-bye.[br]- Shit!

0:41:17.868,0:41:20.103
Steve!

0:41:20.171,0:41:23.071
- Yeah?[br]- The beams aren't supporting.

0:41:23.144,0:41:26.556
- I reckon we put a hold[br]on the mezzanine.[br]- Yeah, all right.

0:41:26.629,0:41:31.229
But I'll have to give that guy a[br]call about the spiral staircase[br]'cause he's holding it for us.

0:41:31.297,0:41:34.392
- Darl, can you give Farouk a ring?[br]- Yeah.

0:41:34.462,0:41:37.395
- Where's Dad?[br]- Up in the roof.

0:41:37.467,0:41:40.181
- Dad![br]- Yeah, mate?

0:41:40.249,0:41:45.329
I dug another hole.[br]It's filling with water.

0:42:00.344,0:42:05.161
You are fucking kidding me.[br]I cleared that tray three fucking times!

0:42:05.235,0:42:07.405
- Mr. Denuto.[br]- Yeah?

0:42:07.473,0:42:10.318
Ron Graham, Hammersley and Laycock.[br]Got your note during the week.

0:42:10.382,0:42:15.332
Oh, yeah. Yeah.[br]Um, sit down.

0:42:18.727,0:42:22.335
Now, the Kerrigan matter.

0:42:23.714,0:42:26.362
Well, we're going[br]to be taking it further.

0:42:26.432,0:42:30.868
Yes, we totally understand,[br]and we're here on behalf[br]of our client to apologize.

0:42:30.940,0:42:33.011
- We made a mistake.[br]- You have?

0:42:33.081,0:42:37.682
Yes, it appears that the house[br]belonging to Mr. Kerrigan was[br]grossly undervalued by mistake,

0:42:37.749,0:42:39.984
and our client would like[br]to rectify the situation.

0:42:40.051,0:42:43.909
- Well, what are you offering?[br]- Another $25,000.

0:42:43.983,0:42:46.370
- Whoa.[br]- As a separate cash check.

0:42:46.445,0:42:49.573
You know, Darryl, my client,

0:42:49.642,0:42:52.836
is disputing[br]the compulsory purchase.

0:42:52.904,0:42:55.454
Yes, though with[br]the correct valuation,

0:42:55.526,0:42:57.695
we thought this may put[br]the dispute to rest.

0:42:57.763,0:42:59.735
What if it doesn't?

0:43:00.992,0:43:02.845
If I were you,

0:43:02.910,0:43:05.625
I would advise Mr. Kerrigan[br]against taking any further action.

0:43:05.692,0:43:07.697
This is[br]a multi-billion dollar project.

0:43:07.770,0:43:10.189
It's been in planning[br]for a long time.

0:43:10.264,0:43:14.537
If this action were to delay[br]or spoil the plans,

0:43:14.613,0:43:18.635
the understandable anger[br]could well spill into something else.

0:43:18.704,0:43:21.319
- Are you threatening?[br]- Hang on.

0:43:21.389,0:43:24.899
I just came in here,[br]apologized and increased[br]the offer by $25,000.

0:43:24.970,0:43:28.611
- I'm sorry.[br]- And that offer should[br]be put to Mr. Kerrigan...

0:43:28.679,0:43:31.360
with your strongest[br]possible recommendation.

0:43:34.498,0:43:36.830
Tell 'em to get stuffed.

0:43:36.896,0:43:40.754
- It's $25,000, Darryl.[br]- Don't you get this, Dennis?

0:43:40.828,0:43:43.509
Darryl, they're[br]offering 25 grand extra.

0:43:43.577,0:43:47.469
Dennis, this is not about money.[br]I am not leaving my house.

0:43:47.541,0:43:49.776
- Tell 'em I'm not moving.[br]- They're not gonna be happy.

0:43:49.844,0:43:53.637
- Who cares?[br]- I mean, they're[br]gonna be really unhappy.

0:43:55.150,0:43:58.311
- So what are you telling me, Dennis?[br]- Nothing, Darryl.

0:43:58.379,0:44:00.647
- Did they threaten you?[br]- Not me, really.

0:44:00.714,0:44:03.013
- They threatened me.[br]- Not exactly. They just said--

0:44:03.079,0:44:05.695
- They fucking well threatened me.[br]- They just said--

0:44:05.765,0:44:10.779
I want you to get on that phone[br]right now and tell 'em where[br]they can shove their 25 grand.

0:44:10.848,0:44:13.366
Darryl, " them"[br]is the Barlow Group,

0:44:13.438,0:44:15.346
people used[br]to getting their way.

0:44:15.421,0:44:17.720
Now, they want[br]to expand the airport,

0:44:17.786,0:44:20.054
and there's one bloke[br]who's a pain in the ass.

0:44:20.120,0:44:23.532
Tell 'em to get stuffed.

0:44:33.452,0:44:35.360
More, darling?

0:44:35.433,0:44:39.260
Oh, no. No, love. That was beautiful.[br]What do you call that?

0:44:39.334,0:44:41.437
lce cream.

0:44:41.508,0:44:45.596
Yeah, but what you've done with it.[br]What did you do to it?

0:44:45.665,0:44:48.629
Scooped it out of the tub.

0:44:48.702,0:44:50.871
Did I do the right thing?

0:44:50.940,0:44:53.719
Oh, yes, sweetheart,[br]you did the right thing.

0:44:53.785,0:44:56.914
- Twenty-five grand, Dad.[br]- Yeah, but not that way, Steve.

0:44:56.983,0:44:59.152
We're not gonna[br]take the money.

0:45:02.417,0:45:05.066
- I want to tell you a story.[br]- Oh, good.

0:45:05.135,0:45:07.434
- About how your father and I met.[br]- I know this one.

0:45:07.501,0:45:09.354
Not all of it, Dale.

0:45:09.419,0:45:14.336
You see, I used to go out[br]with a very handsome young man,

0:45:14.406,0:45:16.477
well-to-do,[br]called Bob Thompson.

0:45:16.549,0:45:19.960
Big Bob Thompson.[br]What's he doing now, eh?

0:45:20.033,0:45:22.006
Putting in fence posts[br]in the country.

0:45:22.079,0:45:24.466
- He runs a construction company.[br]- So he says.

0:45:24.542,0:45:27.354
Well, anyway, one night he took me[br]to the greyhounds.

0:45:27.419,0:45:31.245
- He put on a real show.[br]We ate at the carvery.[br]- What did you have?

0:45:31.319,0:45:33.226
Uh, pork.

0:45:33.301,0:45:35.851
Anyway, we had wine, champagne.

0:45:35.923,0:45:39.083
He put on all my bets,[br]and he was just sweeping me off my feet.

0:45:39.152,0:45:42.498
And I wouldn't have[br]been at all surprised[br]if he'd popped the question.

0:45:42.572,0:45:45.569
Well, anyway, later on--[br]I don't know what it was--

0:45:45.643,0:45:49.414
But out of the corner of my eye[br]I spotted this lanky bloke...

0:45:49.479,0:45:51.714
- struggling with one of his greyhounds.[br]- Red Rocket.

0:45:51.781,0:45:55.868
- That's you, Dad.[br]- Now, Bob, he went off to talk[br]to one of the stewards.

0:45:55.937,0:45:59.479
And this young fella,[br]he comes right up to me[br]and starts chatting to me...

0:45:59.549,0:46:01.555
and he asks me out.

0:46:01.627,0:46:05.236
And I said,[br]"Well, I'm on a date."

0:46:05.304,0:46:08.335
Well, he backed right off.

0:46:08.406,0:46:13.006
He said he wasn't cutting[br]anyone's lunch,[br]and he wished me good night.

0:46:13.073,0:46:17.193
And I thought,[br]"That man has principles."

0:46:17.261,0:46:21.927
And from that day on,[br]I've only had eyes for one man.

0:46:21.994,0:46:24.447
Hook, line and sinker.

0:46:24.519,0:46:28.193
And that's what I love about him:[br]his principles.

0:46:28.259,0:46:30.908
So we're not taking[br]the money, Steve.

0:46:30.977,0:46:34.454
Hang on. I'll get it.

0:46:36.700,0:46:39.380
What was the carvery like?

0:46:41.399,0:46:43.764
- Yeah?[br]- Mr. Kerrigan.

0:46:43.829,0:46:46.445
- Yeah? What?[br]- I've just got a message to pass on.

0:46:46.515,0:46:49.098
- From who?[br]- I'm just passing on a message.

0:46:49.168,0:46:51.849
- Are you from the council?[br]- No, I'm not from the council.

0:46:51.918,0:46:54.730
- The company.[br]- I'm just passing on[br]a message, Mr. Kerrigan.

0:46:54.795,0:46:56.965
They always send[br]someone different, don't they?

0:46:57.032,0:47:00.607
The message is,[br]"Take the offer and shut up."[br]Understood?

0:47:00.677,0:47:02.912
- Are you threatening me?[br]- I'm just passing on a message.

0:47:02.980,0:47:05.366
- Fuck off, you clown! Fuck off![br]- Mr. Kerrigan--

0:47:05.442,0:47:07.741
- You better watch your mouth, pal.[br]- You heard my dad.

0:47:07.807,0:47:10.871
- Now, fuck off![br]- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Fine.

0:47:10.941,0:47:13.687
I'm just trying[br]to tell you.

0:47:17.174,0:47:19.856
And what the fuck do you think[br]you're doing?

0:47:19.924,0:47:22.311
You know what I said after Wayne.[br]No more guns in the house.

0:47:22.386,0:47:24.555
- Yeah, but he was threatening you.[br]- Where did you get it?

0:47:24.624,0:47:26.858
- Trading Post.[br]- And what did you pay for it?

0:47:26.925,0:47:29.770
- One-eighty.[br]- What was he asking?

0:47:29.835,0:47:33.248
- Two-fifty.[br]- He was dreaming.

0:47:33.320,0:47:36.733
- Yeah.[br]- Get rid of it.

0:47:38.755,0:47:40.608
Sell it.

0:47:58.897,0:48:01.229
Pricks!

0:48:04.331,0:48:07.711
All right. All right.

0:48:07.785,0:48:10.652
I might pass on[br]a message of my own.

0:48:23.354,0:48:27.725
Don't bullshit me, pal.[br]I know why you want Highview Crescent.

0:48:27.798,0:48:30.795
It's because you're[br]too much of a tight-ass[br]to fill in the quarry.

0:48:30.868,0:48:34.378
It's easier to knock down[br]people's houses than it[br]is to fill in a hole.

0:48:34.449,0:48:36.356
Well, what do[br]you say to that?

0:48:36.431,0:48:38.316
Get off my property[br]or I'll call the police.

0:48:38.381,0:48:41.607
Fuck the police! You're the asshole[br]who had my car smashed!

0:48:41.674,0:48:44.257
Settle down, mate.[br]Settle down.

0:48:44.328,0:48:46.911
It's just what[br]he wants us to do.

0:48:48.611,0:48:53.179
Let's just keep our cool.[br]We don't wanna do anything stupid.

0:49:20.838,0:49:24.032
- Darryl John Kerrigan?[br]- You know who I am, Mick.

0:49:24.099,0:49:26.714
- Darryl John Kerrigan.[br]- Yes, officer?

0:49:26.785,0:49:30.164
Were you on Lansell Road,[br]Toorak at approximately[br]2:30 this morning?

0:49:30.237,0:49:33.878
- No.[br]- Is there anyone who can verify[br]your whereabouts at that hour?

0:49:33.947,0:49:38.197
Yeah, yeah. Everyone in this house.[br]While we've still got it.

0:49:38.263,0:49:42.088
- Daz, I know you did it.[br]- I told you, mate.[br]I don't know anything--

0:49:42.162,0:49:45.356
- Shut up. I'm not going to book you.[br]This is just a warning.

0:49:45.423,0:49:49.195
I know what's going on.[br]No one wants to see you get[br]the rough end of the stick,

0:49:49.260,0:49:51.430
but you're gonna have[br]to watch yourself.

0:49:51.497,0:49:53.983
- Otherwise, you'll end up losing more[br]than this house.[br]- Mick.

0:49:54.056,0:49:58.013
Darryl, I've seen it happen, mate.[br]Now, settle down.

0:49:58.085,0:50:02.237
If you wanna take 'em on,[br]do it the right way. By the book.

0:50:02.304,0:50:05.562
- All right, Mick.[br]- Oh, and, uh, Daz?

0:50:05.629,0:50:09.138
- Yeah?[br]- Put them gates around the back.

0:50:09.210,0:50:11.063
Oh.

0:50:18.066,0:50:20.584
Now, listen.[br]Things are gettin' a bit serious.

0:50:20.655,0:50:24.744
Last night I had a visit[br]from some hired thug.

0:50:24.811,0:50:27.743
- Yeah, me too.[br]-What do you mean, you too?

0:50:27.817,0:50:31.742
A man, he come to my house and he say,[br]"Stop with the court business."

0:50:31.813,0:50:34.365
If no stop, he have friend[br]who come and beat me.

0:50:34.435,0:50:36.855
And I say,[br]"You have friend, I have friend.

0:50:36.929,0:50:40.155
My friend come to your house,[br]put bomb under your car[br]and blow you to fucking sky."

0:50:40.222,0:50:43.121
- What'd he do?[br]- He get scared and he leave.

0:50:43.195,0:50:46.356
- I bet he did.[br]- I-I don't really[br]have friend like this,

0:50:46.424,0:50:49.836
but, you know, I'm Arab and people think[br]all Arab have bomb.

0:50:49.909,0:50:53.702
You're a bloody ripper, Farouk.[br]That's fuckin' fantastic.

0:50:53.778,0:50:56.873
- Excuse the French, Evonne.[br]- Get your hand off it, Darryl.

0:50:56.942,0:51:00.256
Anyway, um,[br]I was worried for everyone.

0:51:00.332,0:51:04.103
I just didn't want to force[br]anyone into this. Farouk?

0:51:04.168,0:51:06.435
No, I'm with you,[br]Mr. Darryl.

0:51:06.502,0:51:09.467
- Evonne?[br]- What are they gonna do[br]my ex hasn't done?

0:51:09.538,0:51:12.667
- Jack?[br]- Yeah, fuck 'em.

0:51:12.736,0:51:15.800
Well, Dennis Denuto[br]is acting on our behalf.

0:51:15.869,0:51:18.550
We've gotta be[br]in federal court next Tuesday.

0:51:18.619,0:51:20.307
Does he think[br]we've got a good case?

0:51:20.378,0:51:23.506
Well, he reckons it just has[br]to contravene the Constitution.

0:51:23.573,0:51:26.353
And the Constitution[br]is the biggest law we've got.

0:51:28.033,0:51:29.055
How much?

0:51:29.234,0:51:31.621
Ah, good point, Evonne. Steve?

0:51:33.838,0:51:37.511
Now, all up,[br]it's gonna cost 1,500.

0:51:37.578,0:51:40.924
Now, that's 750 now,[br]750 in six months' time.

0:51:40.999,0:51:43.201
So 150 each.

0:51:43.269,0:51:46.333
And, Jack, I know you can't do it,[br]so I'm kickin' in for you.

0:51:46.402,0:51:48.888
Oh, good on you, Darryl.[br]I'll pay you back.

0:51:48.960,0:51:51.346
- Evonne?[br]- Yeah, fine.

0:51:51.422,0:51:53.492
- Farouk?[br]- I pay cash now.

0:51:53.564,0:51:58.480
No, no, no, hold your horses.[br]What is it with wogs and cash?

0:51:58.550,0:52:01.363
Anyway, it's[br]bargain-basement prices,

0:52:01.428,0:52:05.832
and, uh, you'd better[br]wear a suit this time, Farouk.

0:52:05.905,0:52:08.074
What's this Dennis Denuto[br]like, Darryl?

0:52:08.142,0:52:12.164
Ah, he's a lawyer.[br]This is about the law.

0:52:12.235,0:52:14.785
He's gotta know[br]what he's doin'.

0:52:18.085,0:52:20.701
Um... all--[br]all right.

0:52:20.770,0:52:22.972
Gi-Give me[br]one moment...

0:52:23.041,0:52:24.894
and I--[br]and I will.

0:52:24.959,0:52:27.445
Um... it's the--

0:52:29.434,0:52:31.343
the, um-- the--

0:52:33.144,0:52:35.759
the Constitution[br]of Australia.

0:52:35.829,0:52:39.404
This is a blatant violation...

0:52:39.474,0:52:42.820
of the Constitution[br]of the Commonwealth of Australia.

0:52:42.895,0:52:45.707
And when it comes[br]to violations,

0:52:45.772,0:52:47.876
they don't come[br]any bigger.

0:52:49.289,0:52:52.515
What section of the Constitution[br]has been breached?

0:52:52.582,0:52:54.435
Section?

0:52:54.500,0:52:57.083
Wh-What section?

0:52:57.153,0:52:59.606
There is no one section.

0:52:59.679,0:53:03.221
It's just the vibe of the thing.

0:53:04.795,0:53:08.533
I'm afraid, Mr. Denuto,[br]you'll have to be more specific.

0:53:08.599,0:53:10.452
Oh, yeah,[br]sure, sure.

0:53:10.518,0:53:13.613
I was just starting general,[br]and then I was getting...[br]more specific...

0:53:13.682,0:53:17.541
with the-- the, um--[br]Just one moment, please.

0:53:17.615,0:53:19.784
The, um--

0:53:19.854,0:53:23.112
Jesus, Darryl,[br]I am sweatin' here.

0:53:23.178,0:53:25.217
You're killin' them,[br]Dennis.

0:53:25.288,0:53:27.674
I don't even know[br]Roman numerals.

0:53:27.750,0:53:30.878
Um-- It's-- It's--

0:53:30.946,0:53:32.800
Ju--[br]I've got it here.

0:53:32.865,0:53:36.691
It's the... section 51,

0:53:36.766,0:53:40.058
uh, second[br]from the bottom.

0:53:41.369,0:53:43.887
"The Parliament shall[br]have power to make laws...

0:53:43.959,0:53:47.054
with respect to copyrights,[br]patents of inventions...

0:53:47.123,0:53:49.293
and designs[br]and trademarks."

0:53:49.362,0:53:51.880
It's all part of it.

0:53:51.952,0:53:54.251
This is what I'm getting at.[br]That's my point.

0:53:54.317,0:53:56.486
It's-- It's[br]the vibe of it.

0:53:56.556,0:53:59.521
All right. Taken.

0:53:59.592,0:54:02.078
Do you have a precedent[br]which supports...

0:54:02.150,0:54:04.352
this...vibe?

0:54:04.421,0:54:07.451
Uh... yes.

0:54:07.521,0:54:10.552
Yes, I do.[br]Um, just one moment.

0:54:12.030,0:54:15.125
What's the name[br]of the famous aboriginal?

0:54:15.195,0:54:17.364
- Cathy Freeman.[br]- No, the court case.

0:54:17.433,0:54:19.983
- Evonne Goolagong.[br]- No, no, no. Ma-- Mabo.

0:54:20.054,0:54:21.961
Mabo.

0:54:22.037,0:54:24.522
What about it?

0:54:24.594,0:54:28.136
That's your classic case[br]of big business...

0:54:28.207,0:54:30.093
trying to take land,

0:54:30.157,0:54:32.010
and they couldn't.

0:54:32.075,0:54:34.942
Mr. Denuto,[br]the Mabo decision...

0:54:35.017,0:54:39.388
pertains to the specific[br]issue of native land title[br]and terra nullius.

0:54:39.461,0:54:41.346
Yeah.

0:54:41.410,0:54:45.433
So what part of the judgment[br]is relevant to this case?

0:54:45.503,0:54:49.972
A-Again, i-it's just[br]the vibe of it.

0:54:52.057,0:54:55.021
Actually, may I[br]approach the bench?

0:55:02.607,0:55:05.092
Am I wasting[br]my time here?

0:55:05.165,0:55:07.400
Your case[br]is not strong.

0:55:07.467,0:55:11.173
- Am I sort of in the ballpark though?[br]- I'm a judge.

0:55:11.239,0:55:13.888
I understand.[br]Can you just give me an angle?

0:55:13.957,0:55:16.288
I'm sorry, Mr. Denuto.[br]I can't.

0:55:16.355,0:55:18.425
Understood.[br]Understood.

0:55:18.497,0:55:21.080
I think I've got[br]a good one anyway.

0:55:27.640,0:55:31.467
In summing up,[br]i-it's the Constitution,

0:55:31.541,0:55:34.985
it's Mabo,[br]it's justice, it's law.

0:55:35.058,0:55:38.731
It's the vibe,[br]and, uh--

0:55:38.798,0:55:41.218
No, that's it.[br]It's the vibe.

0:55:43.210,0:55:45.249
I rest my case.

0:55:46.280,0:55:48.187
That was sensational.

0:55:48.262,0:55:50.497
Counsel for the respondent?

0:55:51.874,0:55:54.327
Your Honor, I don't wish to waste[br]any more of your time.

0:55:54.400,0:55:57.693
- Appreciated.[br]- All our arguments are contained[br]in the forward documents,

0:55:57.758,0:56:01.333
and we'd be more than happy[br]for that to constitute[br]the case for the respondent.

0:56:01.401,0:56:03.538
Thank you. So be it.

0:56:03.608,0:56:05.940
I call a one-hour[br]adjournment.

0:56:06.006,0:56:08.873
Good on ya, Dennis.[br]That shut 'em up.

0:56:08.947,0:56:11.846
I'm going for a bit[br]of a breather, mate.

0:56:51.883,0:56:53.736
How you goin'?

0:56:53.802,0:56:55.839
Oh, fine. Fine.

0:56:55.912,0:56:58.299
- Got a case comin' up?[br]- Uh, no, no.

0:56:58.374,0:57:01.186
I'm here to see someone.[br]I'm-I'm a spectator today.

0:57:01.251,0:57:04.958
- Are you?[br]- My son's first appearance.

0:57:05.024,0:57:08.534
Oh? Do you reckon[br]he'll get off?

0:57:08.605,0:57:11.023
Oh, no, no.[br]He's a barrister.

0:57:11.099,0:57:14.608
- He's appearing for[br]the first time as a barrister.[br]- Congratulations.

0:57:14.680,0:57:17.098
- Thank you.[br]- Uh, Darryl Kerrigan.

0:57:17.173,0:57:19.952
- Lawrence Hammill.[br]- G'day, Lawrence.

0:57:20.019,0:57:23.179
Barrister, eh?[br]He'd need a degree for that.

0:57:23.247,0:57:26.561
Yes, yes. He-He's got a couple,[br]actually.

0:57:26.636,0:57:30.593
- Ah, you must be as proud as punch.[br]- Well, you know.

0:57:30.664,0:57:33.029
Oh, I know.[br]I've got a daughter.

0:57:33.094,0:57:36.735
Diploma certificate,[br]fully qualified hairdresser.

0:57:36.803,0:57:40.956
The day she came home[br]and told me she'd got[br]into Sunshine Tech...

0:57:41.023,0:57:44.315
- was the proudest day of my life.[br]- Yes, yes, I can imagine.

0:57:44.380,0:57:48.239
Yeah, sure makes us parents[br]look like a bunch of dodos, eh?

0:57:49.560,0:57:52.655
You wouldn't have dreamt[br]of doing what your son's done.

0:57:52.724,0:57:56.332
No, no. Anyway, Darryl,[br]what brings you here?

0:57:56.401,0:57:58.820
Our bloody government's[br]trying to take my house.

0:57:58.895,0:58:01.381
This new Air Link thing.[br]I mean, imagine that.

0:58:01.452,0:58:03.938
Sal and me, we brought up[br]our whole family in that house,

0:58:04.011,0:58:06.561
and they think they[br]can just walk in--

0:58:08.006,0:58:10.786
Anyway, we're takin' 'em[br]to court.

0:58:10.852,0:58:14.493
Bloody outrageous.[br]It's gotta be against the Constitution.

0:58:14.561,0:58:17.460
Yes, it is outrageous.[br]Who's acting for you?

0:58:17.534,0:58:21.076
- Dennis Denuto.[br]- Uh, never heard of him.

0:58:21.147,0:58:23.926
You wouldn't have.[br]He just does our local area.

0:58:23.992,0:58:27.120
Yeah, but I've never heard of him[br]in Constitutional law.

0:58:27.188,0:58:30.001
Oh, no, you wouldn't.[br]No, he does conveyancing mainly.

0:58:30.066,0:58:32.485
You know, wills, petty theft,[br]that sort of thing.

0:58:32.560,0:58:34.947
But hey, it's all based[br]on the Constitution.

0:58:35.021,0:58:38.367
Yes. Yes, in a way.

0:58:38.444,0:58:42.052
- Good bloke though.[br]- Yes. Sounds like it.

0:58:42.120,0:58:44.866
Anyway, uh,[br]I'd better be going.

0:58:44.933,0:58:48.279
- Sure.[br]- Nice talking to you, Lawrie.

0:58:48.353,0:58:50.904
- Nice talking to you, Darryl.[br]- And good luck with your boy.

0:58:50.975,0:58:55.281
Thanks, Darryl.[br]I hope everything works out.

0:58:55.356,0:58:58.201
Ah, yeah, yeah.[br]I'm pretty confident.

0:58:58.265,0:59:00.532
I find in favor[br]of the respondent.

0:59:00.599,0:59:02.507
Yes!

0:59:04.692,0:59:06.861
It's them, Darryl.

0:59:06.929,0:59:10.090
But we was respondin'[br]to them.

0:59:10.158,0:59:14.049
We lost, Darryl.[br]I'm sorry.

0:59:14.123,0:59:17.251
<i>Dad reckons he must have[br]sat there for an hour.</i>

0:59:17.319,0:59:20.796
<i>He said it was like being kicked[br]in the guts with the back end of a bus.</i>

0:59:20.868,0:59:24.826
<i>Dad had to explain to Farouk[br]that they had lost.</i>

0:59:24.929,0:59:27.959
<i>It was really hard[br]telling Evonne too.</i>

0:59:28.030,0:59:30.841
<i>But the toughest one[br]was Jack.</i>

0:59:36.118,0:59:37.971
<i>Trace and Con[br]were great though.</i>

0:59:39.858,0:59:43.783
Good on you, Dad. You stood up to them.[br]I'm so proud of you.

0:59:43.856,0:59:47.300
I'm so impressed with your fighting[br]quality, Mr. Kerrigan.

0:59:47.372,0:59:49.224
Thanks, mate.

0:59:49.290,0:59:52.931
And can I just say how disenchanted[br]I am with our legal system.

0:59:58.274,1:00:01.468
<i>Dad was very quiet[br]after losing the court case.</i>

1:00:01.536,1:00:04.054
<i>I'd never seen him so down.</i>

1:00:04.125,1:00:07.438
<i>He even stopped complimenting Mum[br]on her cooking.</i>

1:00:09.752,1:00:11.757
You all right there,[br]Darryl?

1:00:11.830,1:00:13.683
Yeah.

1:00:17.999,1:00:20.364
Dad?

1:00:20.429,1:00:23.177
Someone's, uh,

1:00:23.243,1:00:25.891
sellin' a telephone box.

1:00:32.706,1:00:35.421
They said no[br]to an extension.

1:00:36.607,1:00:39.027
Dennis says we've got[br]to be out in two weeks.

1:00:39.100,1:00:40.953
Two weeks?

1:00:47.957,1:00:50.410
I haven't told Wayne yet.

1:00:52.049,1:00:54.730
<i>I think Dad felt he'd let[br]everyone down, but especially Wayne.</i>

1:00:54.798,1:00:57.611
<i>That's why he'd been[br]puttin' off tellin' him.</i>

1:00:57.676,1:01:00.521
<i>He just couldn't think of a way[br]to break it to Wayne.</i>

1:01:00.586,1:01:03.582
<i>I told Dad not to worry.[br]I knew how to tell Wayne we'd lost.</i>

1:01:03.654,1:01:07.164
- We lost.[br]- Lost?

1:01:07.235,1:01:09.884
Yeah.

1:01:09.953,1:01:11.806
Did Dad do his nut?

1:01:11.870,1:01:14.967
Nah, he's gone all quiet.

1:01:16.123,1:01:18.609
Quiet?

1:01:18.680,1:01:21.874
Yeah. I think he thinks[br]he's let everyone down.

1:01:21.942,1:01:23.795
Letus down?

1:01:23.861,1:01:26.509
Yeah, that's what I think.

1:01:26.577,1:01:28.430
See, especially you.

1:01:28.496,1:01:31.689
I think he was lookin' forward[br]to the day you came back to the house.

1:01:31.757,1:01:34.089
Well, you tell Dad...

1:01:34.155,1:01:37.763
the only reason[br]I loved that house is 'cause[br]it had him and Mum in it...

1:01:37.831,1:01:40.611
and like... everyone else.

1:01:40.677,1:01:43.228
Wherever they go,[br]I'll love...

1:01:43.299,1:01:46.591
as long as it[br]has them in it.

1:01:46.655,1:01:50.842
And all those lawyers[br]and government people[br]can just go and get fucked.

1:01:50.908,1:01:52.761
"...as long as it[br]has them in it.

1:01:52.826,1:01:56.052
And all those lawyers[br]and government people[br]can go and get fucked."

1:01:56.119,1:02:00.174
Ah, he wanted me to change[br]that " get fucked" bit, but I forgot.

1:02:00.243,1:02:02.891
On you, mate.

1:02:02.960,1:02:05.445
I'd better keep packin'.

1:02:42.444,1:02:45.889
Dad?

1:02:45.961,1:02:48.381
Steven.

1:02:48.455,1:02:53.121
I can, uh, get you[br]some more boxes, if you want.

1:02:53.186,1:02:55.901
No, I think I'll be all right,[br]Steve.

1:03:00.443,1:03:02.296
Dad?

1:03:04.472,1:03:06.642
You haven't let anyone down.

1:03:08.117,1:03:11.726
I don't know what the opposite of...[br]lettin' someone down is,

1:03:13.553,1:03:15.884
but you done[br]the opposite.

1:03:28.707,1:03:31.071
When are you[br]gonna sign 'em?

1:03:33.214,1:03:36.310
- I don't know.[br]- They gotta be done by Friday.

1:03:36.380,1:03:38.995
I can't.

1:03:39.065,1:03:41.070
lcan't.[br]I just can't.

1:03:41.142,1:03:43.508
Darryl, we gotta go.

1:03:43.573,1:03:45.546
Yeah, I know.[br]I know we lost.

1:03:45.619,1:03:47.950
I know we gotta get out[br]of this place.

1:03:48.017,1:03:51.788
I know this is no longer[br]our house, but I'll be buggered[br]if I can sign those papers.

1:03:51.853,1:03:55.625
I just cannot physically[br]pick up the pen and sign them.

1:04:00.421,1:04:02.427
Did you speak[br]to Jack?

1:04:02.500,1:04:07.034
Yeah, yeah. His son-in-law's moved[br]to Perth, so he's no help.

1:04:07.104,1:04:10.362
Poor Jack.

1:04:10.428,1:04:14.320
Listen, I-I told him[br]he could stay with us[br]until we work somethin' out.

1:04:15.927,1:04:18.064
How'd you go[br]with the agent?

1:04:18.133,1:04:21.196
Two-bedroom units[br]are $80,000.

1:04:21.266,1:04:23.119
A flat.

1:04:23.184,1:04:26.564
With four people,[br]the greyhounds,

1:04:26.638,1:04:28.872
five cars,

1:04:28.939,1:04:30.847
the boat and Jack.

1:04:30.922,1:04:32.927
It'll be okay.

1:04:33.000,1:04:36.825
- And what are we gonna do with Wayne?[br]- Wayne'll understand.

1:04:36.900,1:04:40.160
You know he keeps a photo[br]of this place on his wall.

1:04:40.226,1:04:42.079
I know.

1:04:42.144,1:04:47.190
He gets out after five years,[br]we have to put him in a laundry[br]smaller than his cell.

1:04:47.258,1:04:50.605
- Maybe we rent.[br]- Rent?

1:04:50.680,1:04:53.906
We not only lose our place,[br]we're payin' for someone else's.

1:04:53.972,1:04:57.897
- Oh, Darryl--[br]- I'm starting to understand[br]how the aborigines feel.

1:05:00.364,1:05:02.852
Have you been drinkin'?

1:05:02.924,1:05:05.707
Well, this house[br]is like their land.

1:05:05.773,1:05:07.879
It-It holds[br]their memories.

1:05:07.950,1:05:10.284
The land is their story.[br]It's everything.

1:05:10.350,1:05:14.126
You just can't pick it up[br]and plonk it down somewhere else.

1:05:15.534,1:05:18.830
This country's gotta stop[br]stealin' other people's land.

1:05:18.895,1:05:22.279
Dad? There's someone[br]here to see you.

1:05:24.240,1:05:26.096
G'day, Darryl.

1:05:27.217,1:05:29.073
Lawrie.

1:05:30.163,1:05:32.335
So I thought[br]I'd come and visit.

1:05:32.404,1:05:35.274
- But how'd you find us?[br]- You know us dodos.

1:05:35.347,1:05:38.251
- We've got a few tricks up our sleeves.[br]- Don't I know it.

1:05:39.317,1:05:42.481
I, uh, heard[br]about the decision.

1:05:42.550,1:05:45.747
Yeah. Yeah, well,[br]that's the way these things are.

1:05:45.814,1:05:48.367
- How'd your boy go?[br]- Oh, fine. Yeah, fine.

1:05:48.438,1:05:52.150
- Great.[br]- Darryl, I wonder if I[br]could put something to you.

1:05:52.217,1:05:54.072
Yeah, sure.

1:05:54.137,1:05:57.006
I don't think I[br]introduced myself fully.

1:05:57.080,1:06:00.725
You see, I'm retired now,[br]but I'm actually a lawyer myself.

1:06:00.795,1:06:04.984
Three degrees in the family.[br]I'd like to see your poolroom.

1:06:05.050,1:06:07.987
I'm, uh,[br]what's called a Q.C.

1:06:08.060,1:06:11.158
- Are you? A Q.C.? You're one of those?[br]- What's that?

1:06:11.229,1:06:14.677
- Uh, Queens Counsel.[br]- Oh, you counsel the queen?

1:06:14.749,1:06:17.881
Uh, they're the lawyers[br]rich people use, love.

1:06:17.949,1:06:21.300
Yeah, well, that's probably[br]the most accurate way of describing us.

1:06:21.375,1:06:23.285
I don't think Dennis[br]would be a Q.C.

1:06:23.359,1:06:27.102
N-No, no, I don't think.

1:06:27.168,1:06:29.503
Anyway, my specialty[br]as a Q.C...

1:06:29.570,1:06:32.472
was Constitutional law,[br]Australian Constitutional law.

1:06:32.546,1:06:35.067
Have you heard of[br]the Tasmanian Dams case?

1:06:36.258,1:06:38.495
- Um--[br]- Mabo?

1:06:38.564,1:06:41.794
Oh, the aboriginal guy,[br]told the government to shove it.

1:06:41.860,1:06:43.715
That's the one.

1:06:43.780,1:06:47.457
Uh, anyway, I've had quite[br]a bit to do with these over the years,

1:06:47.524,1:06:51.139
and I've had a look into your case[br]over the last few days,

1:06:51.206,1:06:53.694
and I think there's[br]a bit more to it.

1:06:53.768,1:06:57.063
- What do you mean?[br]- I think you've got a case.

1:06:57.127,1:07:00.194
- So Dennis was on the right track.[br]- Y-Yes.

1:07:00.264,1:07:02.239
I told you that judge[br]had it in for him.

1:07:02.313,1:07:04.583
I believe there's a section[br]of the Constitution...

1:07:04.649,1:07:07.879
about the government's right to acquire[br]land that hasn't been tested.

1:07:07.946,1:07:10.019
But Dennis tested it.

1:07:10.090,1:07:13.954
Well, I-I think we[br]could test it better.

1:07:14.028,1:07:18.120
Anyway, I would like[br]to appear on your behalf... gratis.

1:07:19.277,1:07:22.408
- No fee.[br]- Well, no, we couldn't.

1:07:22.479,1:07:24.899
I've done pretty well[br]out of this law caper over the years,

1:07:24.974,1:07:27.844
- so if you're happy for me[br]to take it further--[br]-Further?

1:07:27.919,1:07:30.919
But we've been[br]to the federal court.

1:07:30.991,1:07:33.327
How much further[br]can we take it?

1:07:33.424,1:07:35.247
<i>Three weeks later...</i>

1:07:35.312,1:07:39.307
<i>Dad went to the High Court[br]of Australia, which is the[br]highest court in Australia.</i>

1:07:39.378,1:07:42.280
<i>Lawrie asked Dennis to be[br]his instructing solicitor.</i>

1:07:42.354,1:07:45.584
<i>Dennis was stoked,[br]but shittin' himself at the same time.</i>

1:07:45.651,1:07:48.041
I'm shittin' myself.

1:07:48.116,1:07:51.979
- Shall we?[br]- Let's stick it up 'em.

1:07:54.518,1:07:56.852
<i>And so Dad, or as he[br]was called by the judge--</i>

1:07:56.917,1:07:59.668
<i>Darryl John Kerrigan--</i>

1:07:59.734,1:08:01.971
<i>sat in the High Court[br]of Australia and put his case.</i>

1:08:02.039,1:08:04.212
<i>Or at least[br]Mr. Hammill did.</i>

1:08:04.281,1:08:08.559
<i>Dennis was very helpful too.[br]He was passing books around[br]like a librarian.</i>

1:08:08.633,1:08:11.666
<i>He even learnt Roman numerals[br]especially for the trip.</i>

1:08:11.737,1:08:15.733
Um, paragraph, uh... 31.

1:08:15.803,1:08:19.001
- Thank you, Dennis.[br]- But Dad reckoned there[br]was no doubt about it.

1:08:19.068,1:08:22.198
<i>From the moment he stood up,[br]Mr. Hammill was the star of the show.</i>

1:08:22.268,1:08:25.814
Section 51,[br]paragraph 31.

1:08:25.886,1:08:28.734
"The parliament shall[br]have power to make laws...

1:08:28.798,1:08:33.818
with respect to the acquisition[br]of property on just terms."

1:08:33.886,1:08:36.756
Let's think about those words,[br]"on just terms" ...

1:08:36.831,1:08:39.417
and how they relate[br]to real people.

1:08:39.488,1:08:41.877
Your Honor, my client[br]built his home by the law,

1:08:41.952,1:08:44.604
in full accordance[br]with the law.

1:08:44.673,1:08:47.063
He doesn't know[br]about the extensions.

1:08:47.139,1:08:49.278
But does he have[br]the protection of the law?

1:08:49.346,1:08:53.603
How can the forcible removal[br]of a family, a good family,[br]from their home...

1:08:53.667,1:08:56.667
have the blessing[br]of our Constitution?

1:08:56.740,1:08:59.970
How can that be...[br]"just terms" ?

1:09:00.037,1:09:02.142
<i>Dad reckoned it[br]was in the bag,</i>

1:09:02.212,1:09:05.924
<i>even though they had five times[br]more lawyers than we did.</i>

1:09:05.990,1:09:08.805
My client has adhered[br]to the law, every law,

1:09:08.871,1:09:12.800
every statute from the Town Planning Act[br]to Civil Aviation Regulations.

1:09:12.872,1:09:16.036
But in what can only be described[br]as a last desperate measure,

1:09:16.104,1:09:20.328
my client is accused[br]of breaching none other[br]than the Constitution.

1:09:20.393,1:09:23.328
I mean, good Lord,[br]what else are we guilty of?

1:09:23.403,1:09:26.305
lnternational war crimes, hmm?

1:09:26.380,1:09:28.997
He's even paid people[br]to laugh for him.

1:09:29.068,1:09:32.363
I refer the court to His Honor[br]Mr. Justice Dixon's decision...

1:09:32.429,1:09:34.283
in Grace Brothers[br]and the Commonwealth.

1:09:34.349,1:09:37.514
<i>As much as Dad hated to admit[br]it the other lawyer was good,</i>

1:09:37.582,1:09:40.167
<i>and he was gonna give us[br]a real run for our money.</i>

1:09:40.238,1:09:42.094
A safeguard[br]to the commonwealth.

1:09:42.160,1:09:46.161
<i>But if Mr. Hammill was worried,[br]he didn't show it. He kept right on at 'em.</i>

1:09:46.162,1:09:48.550
...has acquired the status[br]of a constitutional guarantee,

1:09:48.626,1:09:50.729
which is designed[br]to protect the individual--

1:09:50.801,1:09:53.354
<i>But everything he said,[br]they had an answer for.</i>

1:09:53.426,1:09:56.841
- Your Honor, that statement[br]was obiter dictum.[br]- Was not!

1:10:00.019,1:10:02.322
Well, it wasn't.

1:10:02.389,1:10:04.560
- Was it?[br]- I don't know.

1:10:04.628,1:10:08.720
The interpretation of[br]"on just terms" was considered[br]in the Tasmanian Dams case.

1:10:08.790,1:10:12.817
The court took into account[br]the interests of the community,

1:10:12.887,1:10:15.822
such as, uh,[br]job creation--

1:10:15.895,1:10:18.416
<i>Dad reckoned Dennis got[br]the hang of things real quick.</i>

1:10:18.488,1:10:22.711
<i>The main job of the senior counsel[br]was to provide backup for the Q.C.</i>

1:10:22.776,1:10:26.355
Ah, yes. And this is further underlined[br]in Georgiades--

1:10:26.426,1:10:29.656
- And that's what Dennis did.[br]- Ah, utilitarianism.

1:10:29.723,1:10:32.473
The greatest good[br]for the greatest number.

1:10:32.540,1:10:35.410
But what this principle[br]fails to--

1:10:41.790,1:10:44.572
What this principle fails to take[br]into account...

1:10:44.638,1:10:48.502
is that competing rights cannot[br]be weighed one against the other.

1:10:48.576,1:10:52.025
Is a family's right to live freely[br]in their home outweighed--

1:10:52.096,1:10:54.333
<i>It wasn't just[br]legal argument.</i>

1:10:54.400,1:10:57.020
<i>Mr. Hammill even put jokes in,[br]clever jokes.</i>

1:10:57.090,1:11:00.505
...not that our children[br]will have a place to live,

1:11:00.578,1:11:04.539
but whether they'll have prompt delivery[br]of their parcels.

1:11:04.611,1:11:07.262
<i>Dad thought[br]it was real funny,</i>

1:11:07.332,1:11:09.536
<i>even though he[br]didn't get it.</i>

1:11:09.605,1:11:12.605
Suffer in your jocks.

1:11:12.678,1:11:16.672
<i>In fact, there were[br]a lot of times he didn't quite[br]understand what was being said,</i>

1:11:16.741,1:11:20.486
<i>but one time he knew exactly[br]what was being said.</i>

1:11:20.552,1:11:23.781
He's even approached[br]the appellant with an offer[br]of compensation,

1:11:23.848,1:11:28.389
a generous offer considering[br]the nature of the, uh, dwelling,

1:11:28.458,1:11:31.425
or as it might more accurately[br]be called, eyesore.

1:11:31.497,1:11:34.084
- What are you calling an eyesore?[br]- Darryl.

1:11:34.155,1:11:36.392
It's called a home,[br]you dickhead!

1:11:36.459,1:11:38.314
- Your Honor.[br]- Darryl!

1:11:38.379,1:11:41.226
It's a bloody fine one. If there[br]were more homes like that, we'd--

1:11:41.292,1:11:44.010
Have the jails full[br]of people like your son?

1:11:44.076,1:11:46.946
- Ah, this bloody asshole![br]- Sit down, Darryl.

1:11:47.021,1:11:49.542
Mr. Hammill, I'm calling[br]an adjournment.

1:11:49.614,1:11:54.351
And I trust that your client[br]will, in the meantime, compose himself.

1:11:54.416,1:11:59.567
Mr. Lyle, I'll thank you[br]not to make any further value[br]judgments in this court.

1:11:59.633,1:12:01.576
I'm sorry, Lawrie.

1:12:01.649,1:12:03.559
That's all right, Darryl.

1:12:03.633,1:12:05.575
I was thinking[br]the same thing,

1:12:05.651,1:12:08.138
though not[br]in those words.

1:12:08.210,1:12:11.113
I wish I had your words.

1:12:11.188,1:12:13.043
How dare they?

1:12:13.108,1:12:14.963
I mean, an eyesore!

1:12:15.028,1:12:18.258
I mean, that--[br]that just goes to show[br]that they don't get it.

1:12:18.325,1:12:20.660
I mean, they're judging the place[br]by what it looks like,

1:12:20.725,1:12:25.615
and if it doesn't have[br]a pool or a classy front[br]or a big garden--

1:12:25.687,1:12:27.694
It's got a pretty good gate.

1:12:27.768,1:12:31.795
And then because of that,[br]it's not worth saving.

1:12:31.865,1:12:35.444
But it's not a house.[br]It's a home.

1:12:35.513,1:12:38.002
It's got everything.

1:12:38.074,1:12:41.620
People who love each other,[br]care for each other.

1:12:41.690,1:12:43.633
It's got memories.

1:12:43.707,1:12:45.650
Great memories.

1:12:45.725,1:12:49.467
It's a place[br]for the family to turn to,

1:12:49.532,1:12:52.021
come back to.

1:12:52.093,1:12:56.666
But that doesn't seem to mean as much[br]as a big fuckin' driveway.

1:12:56.734,1:12:59.802
<i>Later it was time[br]for Mr. Hammill to sum up.</i>

1:12:59.872,1:13:03.221
<i>Dad said[br]he was unbelievable.</i>

1:13:03.296,1:13:06.230
<i>He reckoned he finished[br]like a champion greyhound.</i>

1:13:06.304,1:13:07.650
People who love each other--

1:13:07.651,1:13:10.284
<i>He quoted cases, he quoted laws.</i>

1:13:10.543,1:13:14.267
<i>But Dad nearly fell off[br]his chair when Mr. Hammill[br]finished by quoting Dad,</i>

1:13:14.338,1:13:16.193
<i>only better.</i>

1:13:16.258,1:13:19.455
And somehow that's not worth[br]as much as a big driveway.

1:13:19.524,1:13:24.413
You may think our appeal[br]is based on emotion rather than law.

1:13:24.485,1:13:26.526
Not true.

1:13:26.598,1:13:30.689
It's about the highest law in[br]this country, the Constitution,

1:13:30.759,1:13:34.372
and one phrase within it:[br]"on just terms."

1:13:36.905,1:13:40.221
That's what this[br]is all about-- being just.

1:13:40.296,1:13:43.713
They want to pay only[br]for the house.

1:13:43.785,1:13:47.616
But they're taking away[br]more than that, so much more.

1:13:47.691,1:13:50.823
Sure, the Kerrigans[br]built a house,

1:13:50.892,1:13:53.543
then they built a home,[br]and then a family.

1:13:53.612,1:13:57.836
You can acquire a house,

1:13:57.901,1:14:00.584
but you can't[br]acquire a home,

1:14:00.654,1:14:03.338
because a home is not built[br]of bricks and mortar...

1:14:03.406,1:14:06.953
but love and memories.

1:14:08.209,1:14:10.347
You can't pay for it,

1:14:10.416,1:14:13.319
and you're just shortchanging[br]people if you try.

1:14:13.393,1:14:17.671
I can't speak for those[br]who wrote this document,

1:14:17.746,1:14:21.359
but I'll bet when they put in[br]the phrase " on just terms,"

1:14:21.426,1:14:24.724
they hoped[br]it would stop anyone...

1:14:24.788,1:14:29.196
shortchanging someone[br]like Darryl Kerrigan.

1:14:31.254,1:14:33.872
Thanks, Lawrence.

1:14:39.863,1:14:42.963
Thank you.

1:14:43.031,1:14:47.115
<i>In the end, who knows whether[br]it was Dad's words or Mr. Hammill</i>

1:14:47.116,1:14:50.563
<i>or even Dennis' note passing--[br]...but we won the case.</i>

1:14:50.731,1:14:52.593
...in favor[br]of the appellant.

1:14:52.666,1:14:54.521
Shit.

1:14:56.220,1:14:58.075
That's us.

1:14:58.140,1:15:00.824
Bullshit.[br]We won?

1:15:00.892,1:15:04.275
- We won.[br]- You little ripper!

1:15:04.349,1:15:08.245
Thanks, lads.

1:15:08.318,1:15:09.079
We won.

1:15:09.080,1:15:11.682
<i>Dad was stoked[br]but suitably restrained.</i>

1:15:11.775,1:15:14.645
<i>He reckons the other side[br]didn't know what to do with themselves.</i>

1:15:14.718,1:15:17.141
<i>Dennis was so stunned,[br]he went all quiet.</i>

1:15:17.216,1:15:20.762
<i>Dad reckons he almost cried.[br]In fact, I think he did.</i>

1:15:20.833,1:15:23.354
<i>Mr. Hammill[br]just sat there for ages.</i>

1:15:23.426,1:15:27.681
<i>He reckoned it was the most satisfying[br]victory he'd had in 47 years.</i>

1:15:27.747,1:15:31.425
<i>Dad reckons it's important[br]to be noble in victory,[br]so he spoke to the other Q.C. ...</i>

1:15:31.491,1:15:32.518
Oh, hey.

1:15:32.519,1:15:34.150
<i>...the one who had a go at Wayne.</i>

1:15:34.293,1:15:36.609
Bad luck.

1:15:36.676,1:15:39.744
You dickhead!

1:15:40.869,1:15:44.253
<i>The case was all over[br]the news that night.</i>

1:15:44.359,1:15:48.255
Good evening. First tonight,[br]a landmark decision in[br]the High Court today...

1:15:48.328,1:15:51.776
has confirmed the age-old saying,[br]"A man's home is his castle."

1:15:51.849,1:15:56.127
When the huge Air Link[br]consortium tried to compulsorily[br]acquire a string of homes...

1:15:56.202,1:15:58.591
on Melbourne's outskirts[br]earlier this year,

1:15:58.666,1:16:00.936
they didn't expect a fight.

1:16:01.003,1:16:04.452
- Well, they got one.[br]- It was a[br]case of Darryl versus Goliath...

1:16:04.523,1:16:06.858
in the High Court[br]of Australia today.

1:16:06.924,1:16:09.959
<i>Mum reckons it's real funny[br]how one day you're not famous,</i>

1:16:10.029,1:16:12.102
<i>and then the next day[br]you are... famous,</i>

1:16:12.173,1:16:14.028
<i>and then you're not[br]anymore.</i>

1:16:14.093,1:16:18.569
<i>Dad had one of the biggest parties ever[br]that night back at home.</i>

1:16:18.639,1:16:21.061
<i>He invited everyone[br]from the neighborhood--</i>

1:16:21.136,1:16:23.110
<i>his friends,[br]family, in-laws.</i>

1:16:23.185,1:16:26.250
This case has totally regained my faith[br]in the legal system.

1:16:26.321,1:16:28.150
<i>Mr. Hammill even[br]brought his son along.</i>

1:16:28.151,1:16:29.993
Really pleased to meet you.

1:16:30.098,1:16:32.619
<i>Everyone was havin'[br]a real good time,</i>

1:16:36.402,1:16:38.641
<i>especially Mum and Dad.</i>

1:16:38.709,1:16:41.905
<i>I'd never seen them[br]so happy.</i>

1:16:41.973,1:16:44.144
<i>Dad invited everyone[br]up to Bonnie Doon.</i>

1:16:44.213,1:16:46.385
I fix for you a special Farouk[br]pressure system.

1:16:46.453,1:16:50.000
<i>Mr. Hammill said he'd love[br]to come. I don't think he'd[br]ever fished for carp.</i>

1:16:50.070,1:16:54.350
<i>Well, that party[br]went on and on and on.[br]Dad smiled all night.</i>

1:16:54.489,1:16:56.565
See, this is why we need that patio.

1:16:56.631,1:16:58.869
<i>The victory was reported[br]in all the papers.</i>

1:16:58.936,1:17:01.752
<i>It became known[br]as the Kerrigan Decision.</i>

1:17:01.817,1:17:03.825
Jack, don't thank me.[br]This is the bloke.

1:17:03.898,1:17:07.281
<i>Although Dad said,[br]as far as he was concerned,[br]it was Lawrie's victory.</i>

1:17:07.355,1:17:10.323
And don't forget[br]Dennis here either.

1:17:10.396,1:17:13.745
<i>That was the beginning[br]of a string of good luck[br]for our family.</i>

1:17:13.820,1:17:18.163
<i>Six months later[br]we got notice that Wayne would[br]soon be eligible for parole.</i>

1:17:18.237,1:17:22.100
<i>Dad rang Mr. Hammill,[br]who was more than happy[br]to come out of retirement again.</i>

1:17:22.174,1:17:24.892
<i>Wayne said the parole board[br]couldn't believe their eyes.</i>

1:17:24.958,1:17:28.342
<i>When Mr. Hammill walked in,[br]he reckons they granted him[br]parole out of shock.</i>

1:17:30.336,1:17:32.857
<i>Dennis became very well-known[br]after the case,</i>

1:17:32.928,1:17:35.297
<i>and people came from everywhere[br]to hire him.</i>

1:17:35.362,1:17:37.217
<i>He won a very big case,</i>

1:17:37.282,1:17:41.178
<i>a class action against people who put[br]lead in the landfill 15 years ago.</i>

1:17:41.250,1:17:44.569
<i>I think Mr. Hammill[br]helped him there too.[br]Dad is very happy for him.</i>

1:17:44.644,1:17:47.776
<i>He even bought himself[br]a new photocopier,</i>

1:17:47.845,1:17:50.333
<i>one that never breaks down.</i>

1:17:50.405,1:17:53.754
<i>And guess what. Mr. Hammill did go up[br]to Bonnie Doon.</i>

1:17:53.829,1:17:56.897
<i>At first Dad thought it was[br]out of politeness, but it can't be...</i>

1:17:56.966,1:17:59.203
<i>'cause he goes up there[br]all the time.</i>

1:17:59.272,1:18:03.266
<i>He and Dad still hit it off[br]as good as they did[br]the first day they met.</i>

1:18:03.336,1:18:05.442
<i>Coco never won another race,</i>

1:18:05.513,1:18:08.513
<i>but she had a son[br]which Dad called Son of Coco.</i>

1:18:08.585,1:18:11.455
<i>He hasn't won yet,[br]but Dad has high hopes.</i>

1:18:11.531,1:18:15.687
<i>Dad did finish the patio[br]in a Greek style, and the extension,</i>

1:18:15.755,1:18:18.275
<i>and he even put up those big iron gates[br]that he and Steve...</i>

1:18:18.347,1:18:20.934
<i>had gotten for a bargain[br]that night in Toorak.</i>

1:18:21.004,1:18:23.306
<i>Steve got back with Kerry,[br]his old girlfriend.</i>

1:18:23.373,1:18:26.985
<i>Eventually they got married[br]and had a little boy...[br]three weeks later.</i>

1:18:27.055,1:18:30.055
"Baby carriage,[br]still in box."

1:18:30.126,1:18:32.266
<i>Con and Trace[br]had a kid too.</i>

1:18:32.335,1:18:36.773
<i>He's already taken up kickboxing.[br]They are great parents.</i>

1:18:37.809,1:18:41.606
<i>Wayne started helping Dad[br]with the tow truck[br]and really made a go at it.</i>

1:18:41.680,1:18:45.227
<i>Dad's even more proud of him now[br]than when he was in jail.</i>

1:18:45.299,1:18:47.404
<i>It was Wayne's idea[br]to move into tray trucks.</i>

1:18:47.475,1:18:50.062
<i>Pretty soon they had two,[br]then three, then eight.</i>

1:18:50.131,1:18:52.947
<i>Who knows when it will stop?[br]Mum reckons 11.</i>

1:18:53.012,1:18:55.565
<i>She's as proud as punch[br]with all this.</i>

1:18:55.636,1:19:00.307
<i>And guess what. She did take up pottery.[br]She didn't even need lessons.</i>

1:19:00.373,1:19:04.848
<i>And Dad, well, he reckoned[br]he'd got everything[br]he'd ever wished for.</i>

1:19:04.919,1:19:08.629
<i>He often used to sit out on the patio[br]and just smile to himself.</i>

1:19:08.695,1:19:11.414
<i>And they still live[br]at 3 Highview Crescent,</i>

1:19:11.481,1:19:13.816
<i>even though it's only[br]them two livin' in it.</i>

1:19:13.881,1:19:16.337
<i>And Dad still calls it[br]"his castle."</i>

1:19:19.611,1:19:23.157
My name's Dale Kerrigan,[br]and that was my story.
