There has to be a blockbuster movie in this NSW ICAC ex Labor Govt coal licences scandal
January 30th, 2013 by Warwick HughesJust saw this gem from New Zealand. – Rich-lister sues Aussie coal barons -
Remember the watchable Channel TV drama series Underbelly ? You get the idea.
I also have a vision of one of those cartoon snowballs that starts rolling down the hill, gathering diameter & momentum as it progresses causing increasing damage – well this ICAC process is something like that for the Australian Labor Party. At the ICAC site look for Operation Jasper. Will add more of an intro later but this from 26 May 2012 by Kate McClymont at the Sydney Morning Herald – And on that farm he had some mates – Conveys some flavour of the early action. This site by a local group has much interesting early material going back into 2010. Just Google – ICAC Obeid – and a stack of links will be laid out for you.

Would it be a drama or a comedy? With that lot of clowns it seems the latter.

Curiously I just ran across an old movie described as a Comedy-Drama called The League of Gentlemen”.
Obviously you wouldn’t use that particular title, just the League bit, as in L of Illegal or Web of Corruption. How about “A Funny Thing happened to my morals on the way to Parliament”?
