2
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,110
My name is Dale Kerrigan,
and this is my story.
3
00:01:02,150 --> 00:01:05,650
Our family lives at 3 Highview Crescent,
Coolaroo.
4
00:01:05,780 --> 00:01:08,780
Dad bought this place
15 years ago for a steal.
5
00:01:08,910 --> 00:01:12,370
As the real estate agent
said, "Location, location, location."
6
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:14,330
And we're right next door
to the airport.
7
00:01:15,460 --> 00:01:18,670
It will be very convenient
if we ever have to fly one day.
8
00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:25,050
Dad still can't work out
how he got it so cheap.
9
00:01:25,090 --> 00:01:28,430
It's worth almost as much today
as when we bought it.
10
00:01:28,470 --> 00:01:31,510
Our street was going to be the heart
of a major housing development.
11
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:33,810
But it never got up.
12
00:01:33,850 --> 00:01:37,770
They reckon the planes put people off.
Them and the power lines.
13
00:01:37,770 --> 00:01:41,270
Not Dad. He reckons power lines
are a reminder...
14
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:43,900
of man's ability
to generate electricity.
15
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:48,860
He's always saying
great things like that.
That's why we love him so much.
16
00:01:48,860 --> 00:01:52,120
Dad is the backbone
of the Kerrigan family.
17
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,990
He made our billiard table.
18
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,410
Shot, Dale.
19
00:01:57,460 --> 00:02:01,540
In fact, he's built half this house.
He's always planning extensions.
20
00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:03,550
I reckon we need a patio.
21
00:02:03,590 --> 00:02:06,710
Oh, darl, how about we finish
the back room first?
22
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,760
No, I'm waiting
on some cheap cladding.
23
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,800
I reckon we give
the patio another go.
24
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,770
Dad is a tow truck driver.
One of the best in the game.
25
00:02:15,770 --> 00:02:18,350
He takes great pride
in his work.
26
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:21,150
And he comes home
with so many stories.
27
00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:23,690
You see, the car was wrapped
around the pole,
28
00:02:23,730 --> 00:02:26,650
so I said, " Why not hook the chain
on the back axle?"
29
00:02:26,690 --> 00:02:28,650
See, no one
had thought of that.
30
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:32,660
If Dad is the backbone,
Mum is the other bones. All of them.
31
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:34,910
She keeps
the family together.
32
00:02:34,910 --> 00:02:37,450
Dad adores Mum,
and Mum adores him.
33
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:40,960
They met at the greyhounds one night,
and it was love at first sight.
34
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,460
Mum just loves craft.
And she can pretty up
just about anything.
35
00:02:44,460 --> 00:02:46,420
How did you do that?
36
00:02:46,460 --> 00:02:50,550
- Spray can and stencil, darl.
That's all you need.
- You could sell that.
37
00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:52,890
Dad always reckons
Mum could open a shop,
38
00:02:52,930 --> 00:02:55,890
but she has a good part-time job
in the office at Sunbeam.
39
00:02:55,890 --> 00:02:58,640
Dad reckons Mum is
the greatest cook on Earth.
40
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,560
- What do you call that, darl?
- Sponge cake.
41
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,650
Beautiful. And what's
that stuff on top?
42
00:03:04,690 --> 00:03:08,070
- Icing sugar.
- How is it, kids?
43
00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:11,490
And why would you want
to go out to a restaurant...
44
00:03:11,530 --> 00:03:13,990
when this keeps coming up
night after night?
45
00:03:14,030 --> 00:03:16,330
I have two brothers
and a sister, all older than me.
46
00:03:16,330 --> 00:03:20,830
Steve is an apprentice mechanic,
but he spends most of his time
reading the Trading Post.
47
00:03:20,870 --> 00:03:23,080
He just loves
buying and trading.
48
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,380
Dad, ergonomic chairs.
Four of them.
49
00:03:25,420 --> 00:03:27,750
- What does he want?
- One-eighty.
50
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,760
He's dreaming.
51
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,630
Him and Dad
really know bargains.
52
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,510
Steve is also an ideas man.
That's why Dad calls him the ideas man.
53
00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:38,510
He has lots of ideas.
54
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,980
It's a motorcycle helmet
with a built-in brake light.
55
00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:45,020
You are an ideas man, Steve.
56
00:03:45,020 --> 00:03:47,610
Dad thinks all of us
are tremendous,
57
00:03:47,650 --> 00:03:50,110
but I guess it's no secret
that Tracey's his favorite.
58
00:03:50,150 --> 00:03:52,110
How do I look, Dad?
59
00:03:52,150 --> 00:03:54,160
Dad just loves her.
60
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:54,200
You look beautiful.
Dad just loves her.
61
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,990
You look beautiful.
62
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,370
Thanks, Dad.
63
00:03:58,410 --> 00:04:03,000
Tracey's the only girl in the family,
apart from Mum and Gran.
64
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,960
Tracey constantly
gave Dad proud moments.
65
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,300
Once she was
on "The Price Is Right".
66
00:04:09,340 --> 00:04:12,340
It was such
an exciting afternoon for us.
67
00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:14,380
Swap them around.
68
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:17,550
None of us could actually
believe it was Tracey up there
with Larry Emdier.
69
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,600
$45,000 worth of prizes.
The luggage needs to be more than 640.
70
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,980
It needs to be less
than 740.
71
00:04:24,980 --> 00:04:27,440
She almost won the lot.
72
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,320
If only she'd known
the price of the luggage.
73
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,490
I'm so sorry about that.
74
00:04:34,110 --> 00:04:36,570
But she still managed to come home
with a tumble dryer and drill set.
75
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:42,120
She is the only member of the Kerrigan
family who'd had a tertiary education.
76
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,031
Dad reckons the day Trace told him
she'd been accepted into Sunshine
Tech Hairdressing...
77
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,420
was about
the proudest day of his life.
78
00:04:49,460 --> 00:04:52,151
I knew he thought
about that... a lot.
79
00:04:52,220 --> 00:04:54,720
There were only two places
he did his thinking--
80
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,826
in the poolroom and out the back,
looking up at the power lines.
81
00:04:58,906 --> 00:05:01,760
Yep, Dad's a real thinker.
82
00:05:02,140 --> 00:05:06,977
But the proudest day
was the day she got married
to this nice guy called Con.
83
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,400
He is an accountant,
but also a fanatical kickboxer.
84
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,900
Now Tracey's
taken up kickboxing too.
85
00:05:12,940 --> 00:05:15,057
Dad could not get
the smile off his face.
86
00:05:15,111 --> 00:05:17,564
And he gave a speech
that brought the house down.
87
00:05:17,635 --> 00:05:20,960
Now, as the bride's parents,
I don't mind paying for the wedding,
88
00:05:21,005 --> 00:05:23,990
but could you please stop busting
all them plates?
89
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:27,290
That being
a Greek custom and all.
90
00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:30,380
I suppose, as a father,
91
00:05:30,420 --> 00:05:33,550
you'd like your daughter
to marry one of your own.
92
00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:37,234
And let's not beat around the bush.
The Greeks have a reputation.
93
00:05:37,257 --> 00:05:40,171
At first, the Petropoulouses
thought he was having a go at them.
94
00:05:40,217 --> 00:05:42,777
But Dad was just saying
how much he thought of Con.
95
00:05:42,845 --> 00:05:46,114
I never thought anyone
could love our Trace...
96
00:05:46,137 --> 00:05:49,060
as much as me,
Sal and the boys.
97
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:51,980
But there is
another person. Con.
98
00:05:52,690 --> 00:05:54,860
Smart, polite,
fit as a fiddle.
99
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:59,280
And anyone who loves our Trace
as much as us deserves our love.
100
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,520
So we love you, Con.
We love you.
101
00:06:04,182 --> 00:06:06,190
Thank you, and, uh,
102
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,250
"Kalispera".
103
00:06:09,070 --> 00:06:10,950
That's "Good evening."
104
00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:18,090
We'd had many top nights,
but this was the most top.
105
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:20,760
Pity my oldest brother
couldn't be there.
106
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:23,760
His name's Wayne.
He's in jail.
107
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:26,720
Eight years
for armed robbery.
108
00:06:26,930 --> 00:06:31,020
Many people call him the black sheep
of the family. But not Mum and Dad.
109
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:34,190
He got caught up with the wrong crowd.
He didn't mean to rob the gas station.
110
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,360
Now he's sorry. With good behavior,
he'll be out in a couple of years.
111
00:06:38,530 --> 00:06:40,530
I visit him every Friday.
112
00:06:40,990 --> 00:06:42,950
- How's Mum?
- Good.
113
00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:46,740
- How's Dad?
- Good.
114
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,210
- How's Trace?
- Good.
115
00:06:54,290 --> 00:06:56,460
- How are you?
- Good.
116
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,550
- How's Dave?
- He's all right.
117
00:07:02,590 --> 00:07:03,760
Good.
118
00:07:04,220 --> 00:07:07,600
Even though he's the oldest
and I'm the youngest, we get on great.
119
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,770
We can just chat for hours.
120
00:07:10,770 --> 00:07:13,480
Thanks for coming down.
121
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,190
- You want some chewy?
- No.
122
00:07:16,190 --> 00:07:20,450
So, as you can see,
our family is very close-knit.
123
00:07:20,490 --> 00:07:23,160
We also have pets.
Four greyhounds.
124
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,070
Banshee,
125
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,990
Starflash,
126
00:07:26,990 --> 00:07:30,040
Trailblazer and Coco.
127
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,710
Coco is the best,
most successful Dad has ever had.
128
00:07:33,750 --> 00:07:37,300
She picked up two firsts
in the country and a third in town.
129
00:07:37,340 --> 00:07:39,630
Dad feeds them every morning
in big bowls...
130
00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:42,300
that Steve made out
of tractor hubcaps.
131
00:07:42,340 --> 00:07:45,390
They are good dogs. Good to Dad.
And Dad is good to them.
132
00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:49,390
All of them are descended
from his first dog, Red Rocket.
133
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:53,520
Dad never stops marveling
at the beauty of the greyhound.
134
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,150
In fact, he doesn't even
race them for the money.
135
00:07:56,190 --> 00:07:59,730
He reckons they are noble animals.
Skinny and sleek...
136
00:07:59,780 --> 00:08:01,740
and have a beautiful snout.
137
00:08:01,780 --> 00:08:06,120
Another thing Dad loves
is his boat. Sea Lady.
138
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,120
He cleans it every Saturday
with something else Steve built.
139
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,250
It's a brush
with a hose in it.
140
00:08:11,290 --> 00:08:14,120
Dad never stops marveling
at Steve's ideas.
141
00:08:14,170 --> 00:08:16,500
He's a ideas man, Steve.
142
00:08:16,540 --> 00:08:19,130
Steve gave it to Dad
for Father's Day.
143
00:08:19,170 --> 00:08:23,090
That's something our family
prides itself on. Presents.
144
00:08:23,130 --> 00:08:25,840
Even though none of us
have a real lot of money,
145
00:08:25,890 --> 00:08:28,220
we love giving
each other presents.
146
00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:31,470
- He got a rod and reel from Trace.
- A rod and reel.
147
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,810
- I gave him a new muzzle.
- A muzzle.
148
00:08:33,850 --> 00:08:36,310
Wayne sent him an ashtray
he'd made in prison shop.
149
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:39,270
An ashtray?
But I don't smoke.
150
00:08:39,270 --> 00:08:44,320
And Mum, well, Mum got him a big German
beer mug from Franklin Mint.
151
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,280
Dad couldn't believe his eyes. It was
too good to even drink beer out of.
152
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,280
I'd like
to do pottery.
153
00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:52,790
Oh, you should.
You'd be good at it.
154
00:08:52,830 --> 00:08:56,250
This is going straight
to the poolroom.
155
00:08:56,250 --> 00:08:56,290
All Dad's most prized possessions
are in the poolroom.
This is going straight
to the poolroom.
156
00:08:56,290 --> 00:08:58,960
All Dad's most prized possessions
are in the poolroom.
157
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,550
All his mementos and things
that remind him of something special.
158
00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:05,630
So by him saying it was going straight
to the poolroom...
159
00:09:05,630 --> 00:09:07,550
meant he thought
it was special.
160
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:10,890
That is a collector's item.
161
00:09:10,930 --> 00:09:14,770
This has been
the best Father's Day ever.
162
00:09:14,770 --> 00:09:16,770
Of course there
were ups and downs.
163
00:09:16,770 --> 00:09:19,310
Wayne being in jail
was an example of a down.
164
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,610
But, all in all,
3 Highview Crescent was a happy home.
165
00:09:22,610 --> 00:09:24,650
Dad called it his castle.
166
00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:27,200
But one day in June,
167
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,530
a knock at the door
was to change all that.
168
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:31,530
- Yeah?
- Mr. Darryl Kerrigan?
169
00:09:31,530 --> 00:09:34,830
- Yeah?
- John Clifton.
I'm from the local council.
170
00:09:34,870 --> 00:09:36,830
- Is this about the dogs?
- No.
171
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:38,830
- The aerial? The extensions?
- No.
172
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:43,840
Look, if this is about
my truck on the nature strip,
I've had it out with you guys.
173
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,550
No, I'm a valuer
with the local council.
I'm here to do a land valuation.
174
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:50,640
- What for?
- Well, all properties
get valued from time to time.
175
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,020
So, you'd be able
to give me a value on this place?
176
00:09:54,060 --> 00:09:57,060
- That's my job.
- That'd be good.
177
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:00,770
- Do you want me
to show you around?
- If you wouldn't mind.
178
00:10:00,770 --> 00:10:04,360
Oh, not at all.
Be pleased to.
179
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,650
Because, between you and me,
I reckon the values around here are--
180
00:10:12,450 --> 00:10:16,250
As you can see,
I've put a fair bit of work into it.
181
00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:18,750
Would you like me to point out
the features as we go along?
182
00:10:18,750 --> 00:10:21,250
- If you wouldn't mind.
- You see that lace up there?
183
00:10:21,290 --> 00:10:24,210
- Yeah?
- Fake. Plastic.
184
00:10:24,250 --> 00:10:27,760
Gives the place
a Victoriana feel.
185
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,890
The chimney? Fake too.
186
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:32,890
Why is it there?
187
00:10:32,930 --> 00:10:37,100
Charm. Adds a bit of charm.
Look at the size of that aerial.
188
00:10:37,140 --> 00:10:40,560
That's a big aerial.
What do you think? Add a bit of value?
189
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,560
- Hard to say. Yeah.
- Yeah.
190
00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:46,480
You can overcapitalize,
can't you?
191
00:10:46,530 --> 00:10:48,990
But it's a huge aerial.
192
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:57,950
And this is my backyard.
193
00:11:02,290 --> 00:11:05,130
- Shuttle. From Melbourne to Sidney.
194
00:11:05,170 --> 00:11:08,670
- How close are you
to the end of the runway?
- Ah, just over the fence.
195
00:11:11,130 --> 00:11:14,140
- Is that the runway there?
- Yeah.
196
00:11:14,180 --> 00:11:16,930
- There?
- Yeah.
197
00:11:16,970 --> 00:11:18,310
Beautiful machines.
198
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,730
Sometimes you think
they're gonna land right on top of you.
199
00:11:22,770 --> 00:11:25,560
Freaks the dogs, though.
Greyhounds.
200
00:11:25,820 --> 00:11:28,190
Large kennel.
201
00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:31,900
Well, originally, it was a tree house
when the kids were growing up.
202
00:11:31,950 --> 00:11:34,450
I was thinking of turning it
into a granny flat.
203
00:11:34,490 --> 00:11:36,370
- But the county said no.
- Ah.
204
00:11:36,490 --> 00:11:40,450
Now, here back, all landfill.
Not allowed to build there.
205
00:11:40,580 --> 00:11:44,040
- Has the soil been tested?
- Oh, yeah.
206
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,130
Nothing too serious
in there.
207
00:11:47,170 --> 00:11:50,210
What do you know
about lead?
208
00:11:53,550 --> 00:11:57,050
Oh, this is
beautiful, darl.
209
00:11:57,100 --> 00:12:00,020
- What do you call these things again?
- Rissoles.
210
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:02,020
Everybody cooks
risssoles, darl.
211
00:12:02,020 --> 00:12:04,060
Yeah, but it's
what you do with them.
212
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:07,730
Mum reckons the trick is you
don't use minced meat.
She gets topside and crushes it.
213
00:12:07,770 --> 00:12:09,820
Is that right, darl?
Well, it shows.
214
00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:12,150
She gets silverside
and she'll crush that too.
215
00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:15,450
Dad, a guy's selling
a pair of jousting sticks.
216
00:12:15,450 --> 00:12:18,330
Jousting sticks?
What does he want for them?
217
00:12:18,330 --> 00:12:21,620
- Make us an offer.
- Darl, what do you want
with jousting sticks?
218
00:12:21,620 --> 00:12:24,710
Oh, I don't know. But I reckon they
wouldn't come up all that often.
219
00:12:24,750 --> 00:12:28,590
But they're jousting sticks.
What would anyone want
with jousting sticks?
220
00:12:28,590 --> 00:12:31,960
Well, if you get them
for half price, it's a bargain.
221
00:12:32,010 --> 00:12:33,970
- Give him a call?
- Yeah.
222
00:12:36,010 --> 00:12:39,810
I'll be interested to see
this fella's valuation.
223
00:12:39,850 --> 00:12:42,640
- Are you thinking
of selling, Dad?
- Oh, no, mate, no.
224
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,060
But it would be nice to know
what we're sitting on here.
225
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:46,650
Clay.
226
00:12:46,690 --> 00:12:49,150
No, mate.
The value of the house.
227
00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:54,240
You know, it's odd, because
Farouk reckoned he had
some bloke around as well.
228
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,950
Must've been doing
the whole street.
229
00:12:56,990 --> 00:12:59,450
- Maybe the market's on the move.
- Here?
230
00:12:59,490 --> 00:13:01,660
Dad? Four-fifty.
231
00:13:01,700 --> 00:13:05,160
For jousting sticks?
Tell him he's dreaming.
232
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,290
How much is a jousting stick worth,
Dad?
233
00:13:07,290 --> 00:13:10,290
Well, it couldn't be more
than 250.
234
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:13,920
- Depending on the condition.
- When do we find out?
235
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,760
Well, we should have the official notice
in a couple of weeks.
236
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,760
But just quietly,
237
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,350
I reckon we could be in
for a little surprise.
238
00:13:24,390 --> 00:13:27,390
Compulsorily acquired.
239
00:13:28,900 --> 00:13:31,400
Compulsorily acquired.
240
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:36,200
You know what this means,
don't you?
241
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,160
- They're acquiring it compulsorily.
- It must be a mistake.
242
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,160
They're gonna take our place,
and we don't get a say in it.
243
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,580
- Well, how can they do that?
- I don't know. 70,000 bucks.
244
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:50,710
Who the hell
is Air Link?
245
00:13:50,750 --> 00:13:54,920
- Dad, a guy's selling seven Eskies.
- Hang on, Steve.
246
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,260
What's that?
Is this about Wayne?
247
00:13:57,260 --> 00:13:59,800
No, no. Look.
248
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,050
What do you make
of that?
249
00:14:04,430 --> 00:14:08,350
Jesus. This is
a kick-out notice.
250
00:14:08,390 --> 00:14:12,360
I'll get it. I'll get it.
251
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,950
- Ah, good day, Farouk.
- Hello, Mr. Kerrigan.
252
00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:22,120
Can you read to me something,
please, I get today?
253
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,620
Yeah, sure, mate,
but I'm a bit busy at the moment.
254
00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:27,660
Can I-- Can I come--
255
00:14:27,660 --> 00:14:31,420
- Shit. You got one too.
- Got what?
256
00:14:31,460 --> 00:14:34,960
What the hell
is going on?
257
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,630
Jesus Christ.
Jack!
258
00:14:49,180 --> 00:14:51,980
Jack, it's Darryl, mate.
259
00:14:57,820 --> 00:15:01,360
Someone is going
to take me house, Darryl.
260
00:15:08,370 --> 00:15:12,500
- Mr. Kerrigan.
- Yeah. Yeah.
261
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,000
Mr. Kerrigan--
262
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,340
Darryl, this is
a compulsory acquisition.
263
00:15:20,380 --> 00:15:22,550
Yeah.
264
00:15:22,590 --> 00:15:26,100
Mr. Kerrigan,
the airport is expanding.
265
00:15:26,140 --> 00:15:28,970
They're setting up one of the largest
freight-handling facilities...
266
00:15:29,020 --> 00:15:32,480
in the Southern Hemisphere,
and they need a great deal of space.
267
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,020
Yeah.
268
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:39,610
And your house...
is on that space.
269
00:15:39,650 --> 00:15:42,240
Yeah. Yeah,my house.
270
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,740
That's right. Your house.
271
00:15:44,780 --> 00:15:46,950
That's why
you'll be duly compensated.
272
00:15:46,990 --> 00:15:51,250
No. No, you've missed the point.
I'm not interested in compensation.
273
00:15:51,290 --> 00:15:53,620
I don't wanna go.
274
00:15:53,670 --> 00:15:55,880
Under the laws
of compulsory acquisition--
275
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,590
and I don't necessarily
agree with those laws--
276
00:15:59,630 --> 00:16:02,130
I can understand
the pain and trouble--
277
00:16:02,170 --> 00:16:04,840
Would you stop pretending
to be on my side?
278
00:16:06,350 --> 00:16:09,060
All right, Mr. Kerrigan,
I'll state this simply.
279
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:11,060
There is
an ironclad agreement...
280
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:13,980
between federal, state
and local governments
and the Airports Commission.
281
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:15,980
Yeah?
282
00:16:15,980 --> 00:16:20,440
Well, where's the agreement
with Darryl Kerrigan,
3 Highview Crescent, Coolaroo?
283
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,030
Where's that agreement?
284
00:16:24,070 --> 00:16:28,370
It's not gonna happen.
285
00:17:33,020 --> 00:17:35,600
I don't know, Darryl.
This isn't my area.
286
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,850
What do you mean this is not your area?
This is law.
287
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:41,360
Darryl, the airport
wants to buy your place.
288
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,530
Airports come under federal law.
Federal? I just do small stuff.
289
00:17:45,530 --> 00:17:47,530
Conveyancing, magistrates.
290
00:17:47,570 --> 00:17:50,450
- You defended Wayne.
- Yeah, and he got eight years.
291
00:17:50,450 --> 00:17:53,990
Yeah, but you did your best.
I mean, you can hold your head up high.
292
00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:56,330
He was the one that
held up the service station.
293
00:17:56,370 --> 00:17:59,500
- I don't know anything
about this sort of stuff.
- But they can't do this.
294
00:17:59,540 --> 00:18:02,960
- I don't know. Maybe they can.
- They can't.
295
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,090
Look, I'll ring around
and I'll see what I can find out.
296
00:18:06,130 --> 00:18:08,840
Good on you, Dennis. Eh.
297
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,840
How is Wayne?
298
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:14,810
Good. Yeah, good.
Behaving himself.
299
00:18:14,850 --> 00:18:17,180
- Any word?
- Nah, nah.
300
00:18:17,230 --> 00:18:20,770
They reckon he's still
a couple of years off.
301
00:18:20,810 --> 00:18:23,070
I'll let you know.
302
00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:25,650
But Dad was never one
to bring worries home.
303
00:18:26,690 --> 00:18:31,070
Even in the down times he'd still
tell us funny stories about his day.
304
00:18:31,070 --> 00:18:35,120
It's a head-on between
a Mini and a Volksy.
305
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,250
Dad also had a way
of making everyone feel important.
306
00:18:39,290 --> 00:18:42,250
Come on, Dale.
Tell 'em.
307
00:18:42,250 --> 00:18:46,050
Go on. Tell 'em.
Dale dug a hole.
308
00:18:46,090 --> 00:18:48,920
- Like the time I dug a hole.
- Started the patio.
309
00:18:48,970 --> 00:18:52,800
- Good on you, Dale.
- And he'd compliment Mum every
single night on her cooking.
310
00:18:52,850 --> 00:18:56,770
Well, hello.
How's this, boys? Whoo-hoo!
311
00:18:56,810 --> 00:18:59,350
- What do you call this?
- Chicken.
312
00:18:59,350 --> 00:19:02,690
- Yeah, but it's got something
sprinkled on it.
- Seasoning.
313
00:19:02,730 --> 00:19:04,690
Seasoning.
314
00:19:04,730 --> 00:19:07,610
Looks like everybody's
kicked a goal.
315
00:19:07,650 --> 00:19:09,610
How are our
backs feeling?
316
00:19:09,650 --> 00:19:12,870
Steve did get them
ergonometric chairs.
317
00:19:12,910 --> 00:19:15,740
And Mum had already
started prettying hers up.
318
00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:19,000
Dad placed a great deal
of importance on mealtime.
319
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,040
He had
a very strict rule:
320
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,590
When the family starts to eat,
the television is definitely
turned down.
321
00:19:25,630 --> 00:19:30,050
But as soon as we've finished eating,
it's a different story.
322
00:19:30,090 --> 00:19:32,930
That was great.
323
00:19:32,930 --> 00:19:35,970
Dad, 7:30.
324
00:19:35,970 --> 00:19:39,270
All right,
time for some fun.
325
00:19:39,310 --> 00:19:43,230
Dad reckons there's only one show better
than Hey Hey It's Saturday,
326
00:19:43,230 --> 00:19:46,150
and that's The Best
of Hey Hey It's Saturday
327
00:19:46,190 --> 00:19:50,030
It made Dad laugh. And when Dad laughed,
his whole body joined in.
328
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:52,150
And then we would too.
329
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,490
Doggy breath!
330
00:19:54,530 --> 00:19:59,240
It was funny how on the fun nights,
part of me got sad,
331
00:19:59,290 --> 00:20:02,660
'cause I'd think about
my big brother in prison
and wonder what he was doing.
332
00:20:04,210 --> 00:20:06,750
Wayne always reckoned
he was doing fine,
333
00:20:06,750 --> 00:20:11,170
but I get the feeling
he was missing us more
than he was letting on.
334
00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:13,930
It'll be great
when he comes home.
335
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,890
You're a ripper, Dennis.
336
00:20:24,940 --> 00:20:27,794
I said you're
a bloody ripper!
337
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:30,880
Yeah, okay.
338
00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:36,280
- That's it, Sal. All fixed.
- What did he say?
339
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,250
He said I have recourse
to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
340
00:20:41,290 --> 00:20:44,790
All I gotta do is run
up there, put my case,
and they can go and get stuffed.
341
00:20:44,830 --> 00:20:46,790
Good on you, darl.
342
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:49,750
- He still hasn't noticed, Mum.
- What?
343
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:53,670
- Oh, it's finished.
- Today.
344
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,890
How is that?
You should open a shop.
345
00:20:56,930 --> 00:21:00,810
Dad, some guy's selling
an overhead projector.
346
00:21:00,850 --> 00:21:02,850
Nah--
347
00:21:02,850 --> 00:21:05,850
Nah, hang on, Steve.
What's he asking?
348
00:21:05,850 --> 00:21:09,360
- One-fifty.
- Tell him he's dreaming.
349
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,820
- Yeah.
- So what else
did Dennis have to say?
350
00:21:12,820 --> 00:21:15,900
- Nothing. It's fixed.
- Yeah, but when's the hearing?
351
00:21:15,950 --> 00:21:18,570
Monday. And I know exactly
what I'm gonna say.
352
00:21:18,620 --> 00:21:22,290
- Don't babble on, darl.
- I don't babble on.
When do I babble on?
353
00:21:22,290 --> 00:21:25,160
- You do babble on.
- All right.
354
00:21:25,210 --> 00:21:28,210
But I tell you
what we're gonna do.
355
00:21:28,210 --> 00:21:31,000
Friday we're gonna
pick up Trace and Con,
356
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,260
and then we're going straight up
to Bonnie Doon for the weekend.
357
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:39,680
And we're not worrying about
those clowns for another second.
358
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,680
- Mum! Price is Right'son.
- All right, eh.
359
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,690
I'd better ring up Farouk and Jack
and Evonne and the others...
360
00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:50,940
and tell 'em
what's going on.
361
00:21:56,780 --> 00:22:01,160
Trace and Con had
a great honeymoon in Thailand.
362
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,160
We met them as they came off
the plane with a trolley,
363
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,160
which was lucky 'cause
they had heaps of stuff.
364
00:22:09,210 --> 00:22:12,590
We couldn't wait to hear all
the stories about their trip,
365
00:22:12,630 --> 00:22:15,130
and we didn't have
to wait all that long either.
366
00:22:15,130 --> 00:22:18,010
'Cause one of the good things
about living next to the airport...
367
00:22:18,050 --> 00:22:20,550
is that it doesn't
take long to walk home.
368
00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:34,520
And they had these masks
which you put over your eyes
when you're sleeping...
369
00:22:34,570 --> 00:22:36,530
so that you can't
see anything.
370
00:22:36,570 --> 00:22:39,030
- And they were complimentary.
- Yeah, they were for free.
371
00:22:39,070 --> 00:22:41,160
It was the first time
anyone in our family...
372
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,200
had traveled
further than Alice Springs.
373
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,540
And we just sat glued
listening to all the details.
374
00:22:45,580 --> 00:22:48,330
Oh, Mum, we had a choice between fish
and Beef Wellington.
375
00:22:48,370 --> 00:22:51,210
- Beef Wellington?
- What's that, darl?
376
00:22:51,250 --> 00:22:53,590
It's beef
done in pastry.
377
00:22:53,630 --> 00:22:56,300
And it was an absolute
credit to the airline.
378
00:22:56,340 --> 00:22:58,300
- Did they show a film?
- Two.
379
00:22:58,340 --> 00:23:00,340
- Two?
- Yeah.
380
00:23:00,340 --> 00:23:02,510
- And they also had--
- What were they?
381
00:23:02,550 --> 00:23:05,720
- We saw Twister. And they had--
- Was it on a screen or a telly?
382
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,890
Telly. And they had
easy listening, classic gold,
contemporary rock, world--
383
00:23:09,940 --> 00:23:12,230
What was the other one,
the other film?
384
00:23:12,270 --> 00:23:14,730
- Uh,Juman-- Jumanji, yeah.
-Jumanji.
385
00:23:14,940 --> 00:23:17,860
- And with the headphones--
- Which one was first?
386
00:23:17,900 --> 00:23:20,360
- Twister. You could
turn the sound all--
- How many on the way back?
387
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:23,320
- Dale! You can ask all this later.
- Sorry, Trace.
388
00:23:23,370 --> 00:23:26,540
It was so dry in the plane
that your hair actually dehydrates.
389
00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:30,660
- Doesn't it, Con?
- It loses its moisture.
- It's so interesting.
390
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:32,370
We could have
listened for hours,
391
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,710
but then it
was presents time.
392
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,000
For you, Dad. It's a samurai sword
letter opener.
393
00:23:38,050 --> 00:23:40,220
That is handcrafted.
394
00:23:40,260 --> 00:23:43,970
How's that, love?
That is just--
395
00:23:45,010 --> 00:23:47,451
This is going straight
to the poolroom.
396
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,765
You should use it, Dad.
397
00:23:48,890 --> 00:23:52,020
This I am not even taking
out of the wrapper.
398
00:23:52,708 --> 00:23:56,770
They bought Mum a genuine Rolex
for 15 bucks off a guy at the beach.
399
00:23:56,811 --> 00:23:59,030
He said he'd mail
the warranty later.
400
00:23:59,070 --> 00:24:03,360
I got a necklace with a shark tooth.
They got a Walkman for Steve.
401
00:24:03,910 --> 00:24:07,370
'Cause it was Friday,
I told Trace I'd take
Wayne's present to him.
402
00:24:07,410 --> 00:24:10,540
It was an elephant,
'cause elephants bring good luck,
403
00:24:10,540 --> 00:24:13,290
especially if the trunks are up,
and his trunk was up.
404
00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:16,710
It really made Wayne's day.
405
00:24:17,250 --> 00:24:19,670
- She's great, isn't she? Trace.
- Yeah.
406
00:24:20,130 --> 00:24:23,180
It brings good luck.
She's coming in on Monday.
407
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,822
Great. And when's Dad going in
to do that hearing?
408
00:24:26,970 --> 00:24:28,388
- On Monday.
- Yeah?
409
00:24:28,434 --> 00:24:32,560
- Yeah. He reckons they can't do it.
- Dad would know.
410
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,725
- You going up to
Bonnie Doon tonight?
- Yeah. Maybe. I don't know.
411
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:40,582
I didn't want to tell Wayne
that we were going to Bonnie Doon,
412
00:24:40,662 --> 00:24:43,200
just in case he'd feel bad
that we were going to Bonnie Doon.
413
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,030
He liked it there.
We all liked it there.
414
00:24:47,085 --> 00:24:50,605
* We're going to Bonnie Doon *
415
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,794
We all left soon after,
except for Trace and Con.
416
00:24:53,810 --> 00:24:57,480
As you can just imagine,
they were just married and
wanted some time to themselves.
417
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,210
So they drove up
in their own car.
418
00:24:59,302 --> 00:25:02,422
Dad had a song he used to sing
about going to Bonnie Doon.
419
00:25:02,430 --> 00:25:05,560
Only he sang it a lot,
and it was a bit repetitive.
420
00:25:05,900 --> 00:25:07,860
Darl!
421
00:25:13,180 --> 00:25:15,980
- Dad, radar!
422
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,740
- How much did that cost?
- Seventy bucks.
423
00:25:25,820 --> 00:25:28,280
Just paid for itself.
424
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,910
Dale, why don't you
unload the boat, Mate?
425
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,080
Steve, don't forget
the dog food, pal.
426
00:25:40,670 --> 00:25:44,260
Hey, boy. Hey!
427
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:48,720
- Bloody marvelous to be
up here, isn't it, Dale?
- Yeah.
428
00:25:48,750 --> 00:25:51,880
- Bonnie Doon.
Dad loved Bonnie Doon.
429
00:25:51,965 --> 00:25:53,520
How do I describe it?
430
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,217
It is a little town
on a big lake.
431
00:25:56,260 --> 00:26:00,822
It's a beautiful place,
especially this time of year
when the water levels are down.
432
00:26:00,860 --> 00:26:03,977
Dad could not believe his luck
when he found this place.
433
00:26:04,010 --> 00:26:06,470
It was a bargain,
and he couldn't work out why.
434
00:26:06,670 --> 00:26:09,760
It was just a block of land
with a beautiful view.
435
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,434
It took him five years
to build this place.
436
00:26:12,430 --> 00:26:15,360
He bought an unfinished kit home
out of the Trading Post,
437
00:26:15,390 --> 00:26:18,640
built it in the backyard
and towed it up here with his truck.
438
00:26:18,690 --> 00:26:21,302
He was the only bloke
he knew with a holiday home.
439
00:26:21,337 --> 00:26:23,508
Not a caravan,
a holiday home.
440
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,230
And he reckoned we were
the luckiest family in the world.
441
00:26:26,270 --> 00:26:30,148
- Dale, I reckon we're the luckiest
family in the world. - Yeah.
442
00:26:30,170 --> 00:26:32,148
He loved the serenity of the place.
443
00:26:32,150 --> 00:26:33,657
How's the serenity?
444
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,970
I think he also just loved the word.
445
00:26:36,060 --> 00:26:38,310
So much serenity.
446
00:26:39,850 --> 00:26:43,760
Let's get to bed.
Tomorrow is going to be a great day.
447
00:26:43,940 --> 00:26:44,690
Yeah.
448
00:26:48,030 --> 00:26:50,610
If there's one thing
Dad loved more than serenity,
449
00:26:50,660 --> 00:26:53,280
it was a two-stroke engine
on full throttle.
450
00:27:00,330 --> 00:27:03,920
Listen to that!
Singing like a bird!
451
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,340
He just loved Bonnie Doon,
and he reckoned the faster you went,
452
00:27:07,380 --> 00:27:08,670
the more you saw of it.
453
00:27:08,670 --> 00:27:09,720
Look at that!
454
00:27:10,260 --> 00:27:13,430
- What?
- Back there.
455
00:27:13,470 --> 00:27:17,680
But eventually he found a place
he reckoned looked like a good spot.
456
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,230
I reckon this looks like a good spot.
457
00:27:21,310 --> 00:27:24,440
Dad loved fishing. And he really
looked after his equipment.
458
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:28,610
He said they only made on good rod,
it's called the 'Ugly Stik'. Shakespeare.
459
00:27:28,690 --> 00:27:32,990
It's so strong, you can bend it
right around on itself.
460
00:27:33,030 --> 00:27:36,490
Look at that.
Bends right around itself.
461
00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:40,710
The lake had trout,
redfin and carp.
462
00:27:40,750 --> 00:27:43,710
The carp was not a good eating fish,
but it was good catching.
463
00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:45,710
They could grow
to quite a size.
464
00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:49,300
Genuinely, they just hooked themselves.
But occasionally they were crafty.
465
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:50,746
Just nibbling the bait.
466
00:27:50,924 --> 00:27:52,220
- Got a nibble.
467
00:27:52,550 --> 00:27:56,810
Dad reckoned that fishing
was 10 percent brains
and 95 percent muscle...
468
00:27:56,850 --> 00:27:59,180
and the rest
was just good luck.
469
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,110
We pulled off a few carp that day.
And each of us knew how to muscle a fish.
470
00:28:10,530 --> 00:28:12,860
- Where's Con?
- Down the shops.
471
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:15,070
You and Con talked about kids, yet?
472
00:28:15,780 --> 00:28:18,080
Yeah, Con wants to start
straight away.
473
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:19,790
But, you know,
I've got a career.
474
00:28:19,830 --> 00:28:21,040
Of course.
475
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,790
So, I said I'm not having kids
until I'm at least 23.
476
00:28:23,830 --> 00:28:25,790
Times have changed.
477
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,810
- Gale had a boy.
- Was he a whopper?
478
00:28:42,850 --> 00:28:45,940
10 pounds. They got to be
a big beefy family.
479
00:28:45,980 --> 00:28:50,360
Tyler Jake. Even the birth notice
was beef. Stork and everything.
480
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,860
Shannon was 9 pounds.
What'd you make then?
481
00:28:52,900 --> 00:28:55,860
Uh, I needed a pair of booties.
You always need booties.
482
00:28:56,450 --> 00:28:59,160
- I reckon you should make
fake flowers. - Uh, yeah.
483
00:28:59,410 --> 00:29:01,290
- Jenny makes fake flowers.
- Jenny?
484
00:29:01,290 --> 00:29:02,373
- Yeah.
- Jenny Jenny?
485
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,066
No, Microwave Jenny. She reckons
the trick is to make 'em real
486
00:29:05,075 --> 00:29:07,830
but not too real. Just real enough
to know that they're fake.
487
00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:11,630
- I'd like to do pottery.
- Wow, on a wheel?
488
00:29:11,630 --> 00:29:14,260
Yeah. I just love mugs.
489
00:29:15,010 --> 00:29:16,970
Yeah, I'd like
to make my own mugs.
490
00:29:18,140 --> 00:29:19,800
- Mum?
- Yeah?
491
00:29:20,010 --> 00:29:21,430
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
492
00:29:22,470 --> 00:29:24,586
- You worried about the house?
- No.
493
00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:28,853
- Well, Dad said everything's
going to be okay.
- Of course it is, darl.
494
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,120
We ended up
with four carp and one redfin.
495
00:29:37,173 --> 00:29:42,080
A reasonable day's fishing,
considering we had to get back
earlier when Coco got seasick.
496
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,720
Steve wasn't looking
all that flash either.
497
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,000
Keep it still, Trace.
498
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,800
Disciplined,
isn't he, Sal?
499
00:29:59,010 --> 00:30:03,010
Here are you and I relaxing,
having a beer, and he's still training.
500
00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:05,560
Yeah, he just loves
that sport.
501
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,310
- Well, you gotta have
a passion for something.
- Yeah.
502
00:30:12,190 --> 00:30:15,490
Ours is serenity.
503
00:30:17,950 --> 00:30:21,450
Dad, where do you want me to put
the chicken coop?
504
00:30:21,490 --> 00:30:24,080
Out the back, Steve.
505
00:30:26,500 --> 00:30:30,120
Forty-five bucks. You couldn't buy
the materials for that.
506
00:30:30,170 --> 00:30:33,210
Now, what do you want
with a chicken coop?
507
00:30:33,250 --> 00:30:35,710
And what do we want
with a kit home?
508
00:30:35,710 --> 00:30:39,380
Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah.
509
00:30:39,380 --> 00:30:42,800
Now, give me a kiss,
you big hunk of a man.
510
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,140
Marvellous, ain't it?
The lake, the kids.
511
00:31:26,310 --> 00:31:29,770
Oh, look at the dogs.
Don't they love it?
512
00:31:32,810 --> 00:31:34,810
Oh, smell that.
513
00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:38,320
- Two-stroke.
- Yep.
514
00:31:40,570 --> 00:31:42,990
Pity Wayne can't be here.
515
00:31:42,990 --> 00:31:46,620
- Darl.
- No, no, I could've done better.
516
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,830
Well, let's start
cooking this feast.
517
00:31:51,870 --> 00:31:54,880
- Who ordered medium rare?
- Me.
518
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,920
Good stuff.
519
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,710
Check that, Steve.
It could be a little underdone.
520
00:31:59,710 --> 00:32:04,300
- I bet they don't have places
like this in Thailand, Con.
- No, Mr. Kerrigan.
521
00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:07,350
Hey, hey, hey.
"Darryl" now, mate.
522
00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:09,680
Sorry, Darryl.
523
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,650
- It's a good place, though.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm curious.
524
00:32:13,690 --> 00:32:18,150
Now, I know it's unfair
to compare any place to Bonnie Doon,
525
00:32:18,150 --> 00:32:20,650
but why would I want to go there
instead of here?
526
00:32:20,650 --> 00:32:23,660
- It's for young people, Dad.
- I know that, Trace.
527
00:32:23,660 --> 00:32:27,370
- It's the culture, Darryl.
The place is full of culture.
- Chockers.
528
00:32:27,410 --> 00:32:29,370
- Oh, yeah.
- Something for everyone.
529
00:32:29,410 --> 00:32:31,700
- What was that movie again, Con?
- Dale.
530
00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:33,710
There were so many stories.
531
00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:36,210
At the hotel
Trace and I were staying in,
they had this one channel:
532
00:32:36,250 --> 00:32:38,800
kickboxing, 24 hours a day.
533
00:32:39,670 --> 00:32:42,880
It was just so interesting
to hear about another county.
534
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,180
Meals were 5 dollars, mum.
The most beautiful satays.
535
00:32:46,220 --> 00:32:47,010
What's that, darl?
536
00:32:47,050 --> 00:32:50,520
It's meat on skew with
peanut sauce and grilled.
537
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,270
And the stories
went on and on all night.
538
00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:56,730
The value for money is
absolutely second to none.
539
00:32:56,770 --> 00:32:59,360
- One of the other Sony Walkmans.
- With presets?
540
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,780
Yeah, presets and megabytes.
$85 dollars Australian.
541
00:33:04,070 --> 00:33:05,860
- Wow.
- Bargain?
542
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,240
But I reckon someone like you, Steve,
could have got it down even further.
543
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:13,290
I can't wait to get a beer and coffee.
544
00:33:13,910 --> 00:33:17,080
- It's great to have you two back.
- It's great to be back.
545
00:33:17,580 --> 00:33:20,090
Great to be up here.
546
00:33:20,130 --> 00:33:24,050
They haven't got
a place like this in Bangkok.
547
00:33:24,050 --> 00:33:26,510
How's the serenity?
548
00:33:28,140 --> 00:33:30,100
Not a sound.
549
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,244
On Monday morning, dad was
chomping at the bit.
550
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,373
- Feeling good, Sal.
- Good on you, darl.
551
00:33:46,490 --> 00:33:48,515
Steve, could you move
the Camira?
552
00:33:48,551 --> 00:33:51,075
I need to get to the Torana out
so I can get to the Commodore.
553
00:33:51,128 --> 00:33:53,830
I'll have to get the keys
to the Cortina if I'm going
to move that Camira.
554
00:33:53,830 --> 00:33:55,760
- Watch the boat, mate.
- Yeah.
555
00:33:56,330 --> 00:33:58,920
- Know why I'm feeling good, Sal?
- Why?
556
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,920
I'll tell you why.
Because this is an example
of the individual.
557
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,760
Of how the individual,
if he has the guts to stand up...
558
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,130
and shove it right up
those people who think
they can stand on top of you.
559
00:34:09,180 --> 00:34:12,600
The people who think
they can do that, that's why.
560
00:34:17,940 --> 00:34:20,020
What do you mean
what's my plea?
561
00:34:20,230 --> 00:34:22,610
- What is the case you are putting?
- I told you.
562
00:34:22,610 --> 00:34:25,820
I mean, you just can't walk in
and take a man's house.
563
00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:28,820
Mr. Kerrigan, are you disputing
the amount of compensation?
564
00:34:28,860 --> 00:34:33,740
I'm not interested in compensation.
I'm saying that you can't kick me out.
565
00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:36,120
Very well.
566
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,660
- What is your argument?
- That's it.
567
00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:42,540
That's my argument.
You can't kick me out.
568
00:34:42,590 --> 00:34:46,630
And on what law do you base
that argument?
569
00:34:46,670 --> 00:34:50,260
- The law
of bloody common sense!
- Mr. Kerrigan.
570
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:53,930
- I must ask you
to restrain yourself.
- Yeah, all right.
571
00:34:53,970 --> 00:34:58,430
Mr. Kerrigan, this is
the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.
572
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,810
You are an applicant.
You need to show--
573
00:35:01,850 --> 00:35:05,610
I need to show?
So it's up to me, is it?
574
00:35:05,650 --> 00:35:09,360
Mr. Kerrigan, Air Link,
as a federal authority,
575
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,110
has the right to purchase property
compulsorily.
576
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,990
And, as far as I can see,
you have offered no evidence
to refute that right.
577
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,080
No evidence?
578
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,830
It's not a house. It's a home.
A man's home is his castle.
579
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,840
I mean, it's-- it's--
it's Jack's castle.
It's Farou-Farouk's castle.
580
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,300
You just can't walk in
and steal our homes.
581
00:35:31,340 --> 00:35:34,300
- You will be compensated.
- I don't wanna be compensated.
582
00:35:34,350 --> 00:35:36,810
You can't buy
what I've got.
583
00:35:38,350 --> 00:35:41,810
Mr. Kerrigan, I am rapidly
running out of patience.
584
00:35:41,810 --> 00:35:45,520
- You're running out of patience.
- What is your case in law?
585
00:35:47,570 --> 00:35:50,030
Well, okay, um,
586
00:35:50,070 --> 00:35:55,240
the law is supposed
to be about justice-- no, fairness.
587
00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:00,450
And I know that sometimes
what is right and fair is
not clear-cut. It's a bit iffy.
588
00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:05,580
But this is not iffy.
I mean, this is as clear as day.
589
00:36:05,630 --> 00:36:10,840
It is right and fair
that a family be allowed
to live in its own house.
590
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,300
That is justice.
591
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,470
I rest my case.
592
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,480
Dad reckoned he'd nailed it.
Farouk agreed.
593
00:36:26,230 --> 00:36:28,940
But Dad was wrong.
594
00:36:28,980 --> 00:36:33,990
I can't believe I lost.
I've let you down.
595
00:36:34,030 --> 00:36:37,490
No, no, Mr. Kerrigan.
You do good job.
596
00:36:37,530 --> 00:36:40,790
- Please, Farouk, call me Darryl.
- Okay, Mr. Darryl.
597
00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:43,960
But, you know, I never heard that one
you say before.
598
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,330
"A man's home is his castle."
Well, that's an old saying.
599
00:36:47,380 --> 00:36:51,760
No, no. Other one. Other one.
"Is not house, is home."
600
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,880
Farouk, I lost.
601
00:36:54,930 --> 00:36:57,590
I know, Mr. Darryl.
602
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,310
Farouk, how much
are they paying you?
603
00:37:00,350 --> 00:37:03,560
- $65,000.
- For your place?
604
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,060
Yes. They say the plane,
they fly overhead, drop the value.
605
00:37:08,060 --> 00:37:12,110
I don't care. In Beirut,
plane fly overhead, drop bomb.
606
00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:16,410
- I like this plane.
- What are we going to do, Darryl?
607
00:37:16,450 --> 00:37:18,450
I don't know, Jack.
608
00:37:18,490 --> 00:37:22,370
This is the only place I can afford.
I don't wanna move.
609
00:37:22,410 --> 00:37:24,370
You see what
they're doing, Sal?
610
00:37:24,410 --> 00:37:26,620
Mm.
611
00:37:26,620 --> 00:37:30,340
- How long you lived here, Jack?
- Three years.
612
00:37:30,380 --> 00:37:33,960
Now, in the area.
How long have you lived around here?
613
00:37:34,010 --> 00:37:36,130
Fifty-seven years.
614
00:37:36,180 --> 00:37:39,720
Fifty-seven years.
615
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,060
And they're gonna
kick you out on your ass.
616
00:37:44,060 --> 00:37:48,480
Well, bugger 'em.
I'm not giving up, Jack.
617
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,980
If they wanna play things by the law,
fine. We'll play by the law.
618
00:37:53,030 --> 00:37:56,030
But they're not
the only big guns in town.
619
00:37:56,030 --> 00:38:00,530
If it's gonna be lawyers, I'm gonna
hit them with the big artillery.
620
00:38:00,620 --> 00:38:05,120
Hang on, Darryl.
Jesus, these fucking photocopiers.
621
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,120
What the fuck is that?
I cleared tray three.
622
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,130
Why don't you get your girl
to do that for you?
623
00:38:10,130 --> 00:38:14,340
She's not here on Mondays.
She does Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.
624
00:38:14,380 --> 00:38:17,170
F-3. What the fuck
is that?
625
00:38:17,220 --> 00:38:19,470
- Dennis, how did it go?
- Not good.
626
00:38:19,510 --> 00:38:23,470
I spoke to every barrister I know.
No one wants to touch it.
627
00:38:23,510 --> 00:38:25,890
All right. You do it.
628
00:38:25,890 --> 00:38:28,440
I told you, Darryl,
I'm not qualified.
629
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,900
You're not qualified?
Now I've heard everything.
630
00:38:31,940 --> 00:38:34,150
What do you mean
you're not qualified?
631
00:38:34,190 --> 00:38:36,570
I mean I'm not
in the big time.
632
00:38:36,610 --> 00:38:38,650
You have lost faith
in yourself, Dennis.
633
00:38:38,700 --> 00:38:41,530
- Darryl--
- You have lost faith.
634
00:38:41,530 --> 00:38:45,540
Darryl, it's over my head.
It's over your head too.
635
00:38:45,580 --> 00:38:49,540
Over my head? Dennis.
636
00:38:49,580 --> 00:38:52,750
- Darryl, have you heard
of the Barlow Group?
-No.
637
00:38:52,790 --> 00:38:56,340
It's basically a big investment company
controlled by three blokes...
638
00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:58,340
worth about
a half a billion each.
639
00:38:58,380 --> 00:39:00,970
Well, the Barlow Group
is Air Link.
640
00:39:01,010 --> 00:39:03,300
I thought Air Link
was the government.
641
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:07,470
It's a government authority,
but all the money's coming from Barlow.
642
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,150
It's a way of privatizing
without privatizing.
Anyway, it's a big, big thing.
643
00:39:12,190 --> 00:39:15,230
Every level of government.
Huge investment.
644
00:39:16,230 --> 00:39:18,400
All right, fine.
So they're big.
645
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,490
But why do they
want my house?
646
00:39:20,530 --> 00:39:23,950
Why don't they just fill in
the old quarry and build it there?
647
00:39:23,990 --> 00:39:27,040
I don't know. Maybe it's just cheaper
to pull down more houses.
648
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,830
- So we fight 'em.
- Darryl, they want this thing to work.
649
00:39:31,830 --> 00:39:36,840
- They're gonna get their way.
- And you know why people
like that get their way?
650
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,340
Because people like us
don't stand up to 'em.
651
00:39:40,380 --> 00:39:42,630
Now, they've still
gotta play by the rules.
652
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:46,680
Darryl, they write the rules.
They own the game.
653
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:50,680
Fuck, Dennis. It's my fucking house.
You're not gonna run scared on me.
654
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:54,440
I can't do this by myself.
655
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,320
All right, mate.
656
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,110
Let me think about it.
657
00:40:04,820 --> 00:40:09,080
- Con's working late tonight.
- He's just so busy.
658
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,080
I cannot believe
this postcard arrived today.
659
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,250
Thanks
for dropping in.
660
00:40:14,290 --> 00:40:16,420
How's he treating
my princess?
661
00:40:16,460 --> 00:40:18,420
Dad!
662
00:40:18,460 --> 00:40:21,340
All right,
all right.
663
00:40:21,340 --> 00:40:24,380
You saw
some amazing things.
664
00:40:24,430 --> 00:40:27,140
Now, that is
a bloody big statue.
665
00:40:27,140 --> 00:40:30,470
- Yeah, and it's all made of gold.
- Is that so?
666
00:40:32,850 --> 00:40:35,310
This bloke's
gonna win the cars.
667
00:40:35,310 --> 00:40:38,650
- How's the salon?
- Good.
668
00:40:38,690 --> 00:40:40,650
And look at these models.
669
00:40:40,690 --> 00:40:45,160
They've got ripper bodies,
but they let themselves down
in the hair department.
670
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,080
You ought to contact
Channel Nine, get
a contract with them.
671
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,370
Dad, it doesn't work
like that.
672
00:40:51,370 --> 00:40:56,000
Well, look at them and look at you.
Now, that is a head of hair.
673
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,000
- Just beautiful.
- Thanks, Dad.
674
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,090
I'm only stating
the truth.
675
00:41:01,130 --> 00:41:03,920
Dad, what's a pulpit?
676
00:41:03,970 --> 00:41:08,350
Where the minister gives
his sermon from. How much?
677
00:41:08,350 --> 00:41:12,180
- Eight hundred.
- Dreaming.
678
00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:15,520
Actually, I know how
to get you on there.
679
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:19,820
- Send in a photo of you
for the home viewers.
- Dad, if you dare.
680
00:41:19,820 --> 00:41:23,440
- Oh, I've got quite a few lying around.
- Dad!
681
00:41:23,490 --> 00:41:27,160
Actually, I think I've got one taken
when you were two...
682
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,160
and you didn't have
any clothes on.
683
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,160
Dad! Don't you--
684
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,080
- Quite a few to choose from there.
- Don't-- No!
685
00:41:38,580 --> 00:41:41,840
That night I thought of Wayne again.
686
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,420
I wondered what he was doing
and whether the elephant's
trunk was still up.
687
00:41:45,470 --> 00:41:47,430
'Cause that
brings good luck.
688
00:42:01,150 --> 00:42:03,150
So, in conclusion,
689
00:42:03,150 --> 00:42:06,820
my client will be appealing the decision
to the federal court...
690
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:11,320
and, as an interim, will
be seeking an injunction...
691
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,120
to stop any further action
in this matter.
692
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,120
Sincerely, Dennis Denuto.
693
00:42:50,070 --> 00:42:52,660
Hammersley and Laycock.
May I help you?
694
00:42:52,700 --> 00:42:54,870
Yes, putting you through now.
695
00:42:59,210 --> 00:43:03,630
I'm afraid he can't come
to the phone right now, Farouk.
He's up in the ceiling.
696
00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:08,720
All right, I'll get him
to give you a call
as soon as he comes down.
697
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,550
Okay. Oh, give my love to Taboulah.
698
00:43:12,550 --> 00:43:14,640
- Good-bye.
- Shit!
699
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,060
Steve!
700
00:43:18,060 --> 00:43:21,140
- Yeah?
- The beams aren't supporting.
701
00:43:21,190 --> 00:43:24,770
- I reckon we put a hold
on the mezzanine.
- Yeah, all right.
702
00:43:24,820 --> 00:43:29,650
But I'll have to give that guy a
call about the spiral staircase
'cause he's holding it for us.
703
00:43:29,650 --> 00:43:32,950
- Darl, can you give Farouk a ring?
- Yeah.
704
00:43:32,990 --> 00:43:36,080
- Where's Dad?
- Up in the roof.
705
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,000
- Dad!
- Yeah, mate?
706
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:44,330
I dug another hole.
It's filling with water.
707
00:43:59,980 --> 00:44:05,020
You are fucking kidding me.
I cleared that tray three fucking times!
708
00:44:05,060 --> 00:44:07,360
- Mr. Denuto.
- Yeah?
709
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,400
Ron Graham, Hammersley and Laycock.
Got your note during the week.
710
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:15,620
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Um, sit down.
711
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,910
Now, the Kerrigan matter.
712
00:44:24,330 --> 00:44:27,130
Well, we're going
to be taking it further.
713
00:44:27,170 --> 00:44:31,840
Yes, we totally understand,
and we're here on behalf
of our client to apologize.
714
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,050
- We made a mistake.
- You have?
715
00:44:34,090 --> 00:44:38,930
Yes, it appears that the house
belonging to Mr. Kerrigan was
grossly undervalued by mistake,
716
00:44:38,970 --> 00:44:41,350
and our client would like
to rectify the situation.
717
00:44:41,350 --> 00:44:45,440
- Well, what are you offering?
- Another $25,000.
718
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,980
- Whoa.
- As a separate cash check.
719
00:44:48,020 --> 00:44:51,320
You know, Darryl, my client,
720
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,740
is disputing
the compulsory purchase.
721
00:44:54,780 --> 00:44:57,450
Yes, though with
the correct valuation,
722
00:44:57,490 --> 00:44:59,780
we thought this may put
the dispute to rest.
723
00:44:59,830 --> 00:45:01,910
What if it doesn't?
724
00:45:03,210 --> 00:45:05,170
If I were you,
725
00:45:05,210 --> 00:45:08,080
I would advise Mr. Kerrigan
against taking any further action.
726
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,210
This is
a multi-billion dollar project.
727
00:45:10,250 --> 00:45:12,840
It's been in planning
for a long time.
728
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,340
If this action were to delay
or spoil the plans,
729
00:45:17,390 --> 00:45:21,640
the understandable anger
could well spill into something else.
730
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,430
- Are you threatening?
- Hang on.
731
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,150
I just came in here,
apologized and increased
the offer by $25,000.
732
00:45:28,190 --> 00:45:32,030
- I'm sorry.
- And that offer should
be put to Mr. Kerrigan...
733
00:45:32,070 --> 00:45:34,900
with your strongest
possible recommendation.
734
00:45:38,110 --> 00:45:40,620
Tell 'em to get stuffed.
735
00:45:40,620 --> 00:45:44,700
- It's $25,000, Darryl.
- Don't you get this, Dennis?
736
00:45:44,750 --> 00:45:47,580
Darryl, they're
offering 25 grand extra.
737
00:45:47,580 --> 00:45:51,710
Dennis, this is not about money.
I am not leaving my house.
738
00:45:51,750 --> 00:45:54,090
- Tell 'em I'm not moving.
- They're not gonna be happy.
739
00:45:54,130 --> 00:45:58,130
- Who cares?
- I mean, they're
gonna be really unhappy.
740
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,010
- So what are you telling me, Dennis?
- Nothing, Darryl.
741
00:46:03,010 --> 00:46:05,430
- Did they threaten you?
- Not me, really.
742
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,890
- They threatened me.
- Not exactly. They just said--
743
00:46:07,940 --> 00:46:10,690
- They fucking well threatened me.
- They just said--
744
00:46:10,730 --> 00:46:15,990
I want you to get on that phone
right now and tell 'em where
they can shove their 25 grand.
745
00:46:16,030 --> 00:46:18,700
Darryl, " them"
is the Barlow Group,
746
00:46:18,740 --> 00:46:20,780
people used
to getting their way.
747
00:46:20,820 --> 00:46:23,240
Now, they want
to expand the airport,
748
00:46:23,290 --> 00:46:25,660
and there's one bloke
who's a pain in the ass.
749
00:46:25,700 --> 00:46:29,290
Tell 'em to get stuffed.
750
00:46:39,590 --> 00:46:41,640
More, darling?
751
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,720
Oh, no. No, love. That was beautiful.
What do you call that?
752
00:46:45,720 --> 00:46:47,980
lce cream.
753
00:46:48,020 --> 00:46:52,310
Yeah, but what you've done with it.
What did you do to it?
754
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,480
Scooped it out of the punnet.
755
00:46:55,530 --> 00:46:57,820
Did I do the right thing?
756
00:46:57,860 --> 00:47:00,780
Oh, yes, sweetheart,
you did the right thing.
757
00:47:00,820 --> 00:47:04,120
- Twenty-five grand, Dad.
- Yeah, but not that way, Steve.
758
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,450
We're not gonna
take the money.
759
00:47:09,790 --> 00:47:12,630
- I want to tell you a story.
- Oh, good.
760
00:47:12,630 --> 00:47:15,090
- About how your father and I met.
- I know this one.
761
00:47:15,130 --> 00:47:17,090
Not all of it, Dale.
762
00:47:17,090 --> 00:47:22,260
You see, I used to go out
with a very handsome young man,
763
00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:24,510
well-to-do,
called Bob Thompson.
764
00:47:24,550 --> 00:47:28,140
Big Bob Thompson.
What's he doing now, eh?
765
00:47:28,180 --> 00:47:30,270
Putting in fence posts
in Adelaide.
766
00:47:30,310 --> 00:47:32,850
- He runs a construction company.
- So he says.
767
00:47:32,900 --> 00:47:35,860
Well, anyway, one night he took me
to the greyhounds.
768
00:47:35,860 --> 00:47:39,900
- He put on a real show.
We ate at the carvery.
- What did you have?
769
00:47:39,940 --> 00:47:41,990
Uh, pork.
770
00:47:42,030 --> 00:47:44,700
Anyway, we had wine, champagne.
771
00:47:44,740 --> 00:47:48,080
He put on all my bets,
and he was just sweeping me off my feet.
772
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,620
And I wouldn't have
been at all surprised
if he'd popped the question.
773
00:47:51,660 --> 00:47:54,830
Well, anyway, later on--
I don't know what it was--
774
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,840
But out of the corner of my eye
I spotted this lanky bloke...
775
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,260
- struggling with one of his greyhounds.
- Red Rocket.
776
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:05,600
- That's you, Dad.
- Now, Bob, he went off to talk
to one of the stewards.
777
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,350
And this young fella,
he comes right up to me
and starts chatting to me...
778
00:48:09,390 --> 00:48:11,520
and he asks me out.
779
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:15,360
And I said,
"Well, I'm on a date."
780
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,570
Well, he backed right off.
781
00:48:18,610 --> 00:48:23,450
He said he wasn't cutting
anyone's lunch,
and he wished me good night.
782
00:48:23,490 --> 00:48:27,830
And I thought,
"That man has principles."
783
00:48:27,870 --> 00:48:32,750
And from that day on,
I've only had eyes for one man.
784
00:48:32,790 --> 00:48:35,380
Hook, line and sinker.
785
00:48:35,420 --> 00:48:39,300
And that's what I love about him:
his principles.
786
00:48:39,300 --> 00:48:42,130
So we're not taking
the money, Steve.
787
00:48:42,130 --> 00:48:45,800
Hang on. I'll get it.
788
00:48:48,140 --> 00:48:50,970
What was the carvery like?
789
00:48:53,020 --> 00:48:55,520
- Yeah?
- Mr. Kerrigan.
790
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,310
- Yeah? What?
- I've just got a message to pass on.
791
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,070
- From who?
- I'm just passing on a message.
792
00:49:01,110 --> 00:49:03,950
- Are you from the council?
- No, I'm not from the council.
793
00:49:03,990 --> 00:49:06,950
- The company.
- I'm just passing on
a message, Mr. Kerrigan.
794
00:49:06,990 --> 00:49:09,280
They always send
someone different, don't they?
795
00:49:09,330 --> 00:49:13,080
The message is,
"Take the offer and shut up."
Understood?
796
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,500
- Are you threatening me?
- I'm just passing on a message.
797
00:49:15,540 --> 00:49:18,040
- Fuck off, you clown! Fuck off!
- Mr. Kerrigan--
798
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,550
- You better watch your mouth, pal.
- You heard my dad.
799
00:49:20,550 --> 00:49:23,800
- Now, fuck off!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Fine.
800
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,720
I'm just trying
to tell you.
801
00:49:30,310 --> 00:49:33,140
And what the fuck do you think
you're doing?
802
00:49:33,180 --> 00:49:35,730
You know what I said after Wayne.
No more guns in the house.
803
00:49:35,770 --> 00:49:38,060
- Yeah, but he was threatening you.
- Where did you get it?
804
00:49:38,100 --> 00:49:40,440
- Trading Post.
- And what did you pay for it?
805
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,490
- One-eighty.
- What was he asking?
806
00:49:43,530 --> 00:49:47,110
- Two-fifty.
- He was dreaming.
807
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,740
- Yeah.
- Get rid of it.
808
00:49:52,830 --> 00:49:54,790
Sell it.
809
00:50:13,810 --> 00:50:16,310
Pricks!
810
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:23,070
All right. All right.
811
00:50:23,110 --> 00:50:26,110
I might pass on
a message of my own.
812
00:50:39,330 --> 00:50:43,920
Don't bullshit me, pal.
I know why you want Highview Crescent.
813
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,130
It's because you're
too much of a tight-ass
to fill in the quarry.
814
00:50:47,170 --> 00:50:50,840
It's easier to knock down
people's houses than it
is to fill in a hole.
815
00:50:50,890 --> 00:50:52,930
Well, what do
you say to that?
816
00:50:52,970 --> 00:50:54,970
Get off my property
or I'll call the police.
817
00:50:55,010 --> 00:50:58,390
Fuck the police! You're the asshole
who had my car smashed!
818
00:50:58,430 --> 00:51:01,150
Settle down, mate.
Settle down.
819
00:51:01,190 --> 00:51:03,940
It's just what
he wants us to do.
820
00:51:05,650 --> 00:51:10,450
Let's just keep our cool.
We don't wanna do anything stupid.
821
00:51:39,270 --> 00:51:42,650
- Darryl John Kerrigan?
- You know who I am, Mick.
822
00:51:42,650 --> 00:51:45,440
- Darryl John Kerrigan.
- Yes, officer?
823
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,030
Were you on Lansell Road,
Toorak at approximately
2:30 this morning?
824
00:51:49,070 --> 00:51:52,910
- No.
- Is there anyone who can verify
your whereabouts at that hour?
825
00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:57,410
Yeah, yeah. Everyone in this house.
While we've still got it.
826
00:51:57,450 --> 00:52:01,460
- Daz, I know you did it.
- I told you, mate.
I don't know anything--
827
00:52:01,500 --> 00:52:04,880
- Shut up. I'm not going to book you.
This is just a warning.
828
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,880
I know what's going on.
No one wants to see you get
the rough end of the stick,
829
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,220
but you're gonna have
to watch yourself.
830
00:52:11,220 --> 00:52:13,890
- Otherwise, you'll end up losing more
than this house.
- Mick.
831
00:52:13,890 --> 00:52:18,060
Darryl, I've seen it happen, mate.
Now, settle down.
832
00:52:18,100 --> 00:52:22,480
If you wanna take 'em on,
do it the right way. By the book.
833
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,940
- All right, Mick.
- Oh, and, uh, Daz?
834
00:52:25,980 --> 00:52:29,650
- Yeah?
- Put them gates around the back.
835
00:52:29,690 --> 00:52:31,690
Oh.
836
00:52:38,950 --> 00:52:41,620
Now, listen.
Things are gettin' a bit serious.
837
00:52:41,620 --> 00:52:45,960
Last night I had a visit
from some hired thug.
838
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,090
- Yeah, me too.
-What do you mean, you too?
839
00:52:49,090 --> 00:52:53,260
A man, he come to my house and he say,
"Stop with the court business."
840
00:52:53,260 --> 00:52:55,970
If no stop, he have friend
who come and beat me.
841
00:52:56,010 --> 00:52:58,550
And I say,
"You have friend, I have friend.
842
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,020
My friend come to your house,
put bomb under your car
and blow you to fucking sky."
843
00:53:02,060 --> 00:53:05,100
- What'd he do?
- He get scared and he leave.
844
00:53:05,140 --> 00:53:08,480
- I bet he did.
- I-I don't really
have friend like this,
845
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:12,110
but, you know, I'm Arab and people think
all Arab have bomb.
846
00:53:12,150 --> 00:53:16,160
You're a bloody ripper, Farouk.
That's fuckin' fantastic.
847
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,450
- Excuse the French, Evonne.
- Get your hand off it, Darryl.
848
00:53:19,490 --> 00:53:22,950
Anyway, um,
I was worried for everyone.
849
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,000
I just didn't want to force
anyone into this. Farouk?
850
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,420
No, I'm with you,
Mr. Darryl.
851
00:53:29,460 --> 00:53:32,590
- Evonne?
- What are they gonna do
my ex hasn't done?
852
00:53:32,590 --> 00:53:35,930
- Jack?
- Yeah, fuck 'em.
853
00:53:35,930 --> 00:53:39,180
Well, Dennis Denuto
is acting on our behalf.
854
00:53:39,220 --> 00:53:42,060
We've gotta be
in federal court next Tuesday.
855
00:53:42,060 --> 00:53:43,890
Does he think
we've got a good case?
856
00:53:43,890 --> 00:53:47,230
Well, he reckons it just has
to contravene the Constitution.
857
00:53:47,230 --> 00:53:50,190
And the Constitution
is the biggest law we've got.
858
00:53:51,900 --> 00:53:52,980
How much?
859
00:53:53,150 --> 00:53:55,700
Ah, good point, Evonne. Steve?
860
00:53:57,950 --> 00:54:01,830
Now, all up,
it's gonna cost 1,500.
861
00:54:01,830 --> 00:54:05,370
Now, that's 750 now,
750 in six months' time.
862
00:54:05,410 --> 00:54:07,750
So 150 each.
863
00:54:07,790 --> 00:54:11,000
And, Jack, I know you can't do it,
so I'm kickin' in for you.
864
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,670
Oh, good on you, Darryl.
I'll pay you back.
865
00:54:13,710 --> 00:54:16,260
- Evonne?
- Yeah, fine.
866
00:54:16,300 --> 00:54:18,470
- Farouk?
- I pay cash now.
867
00:54:18,510 --> 00:54:23,680
No, no, no, hold your horses.
What is it with wogs and cash?
868
00:54:23,720 --> 00:54:26,680
Anyway, it's
bargain-basement prices,
869
00:54:26,730 --> 00:54:31,360
and, uh, you'd better
wear a suit this time, Farouk.
870
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,690
What's this Dennis Denuto
like, Darryl?
871
00:54:33,730 --> 00:54:37,950
Ah, he's a lawyer.
This is about the law.
872
00:54:37,990 --> 00:54:40,700
He's gotta know
what he's doin'.
873
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,870
Um... all--
all right.
874
00:54:46,870 --> 00:54:49,210
Gi-Give me
one moment...
875
00:54:49,250 --> 00:54:51,210
and I--
and I will.
876
00:54:51,250 --> 00:54:53,880
Um... it's the--
877
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,970
the, um-- the--
878
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,550
the Constitution
of Australia.
879
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:06,350
This is a blatant violation...
880
00:55:06,390 --> 00:55:09,940
of the Constitution
of the Commonwealth of Australia.
881
00:55:09,940 --> 00:55:12,940
And when it comes
to violations,
882
00:55:12,940 --> 00:55:15,190
they don't come
any bigger.
883
00:55:16,610 --> 00:55:20,030
What section of the Constitution
has been breached?
884
00:55:20,070 --> 00:55:22,030
Section?
885
00:55:22,070 --> 00:55:24,780
Wh-What section?
886
00:55:24,830 --> 00:55:27,410
There is no one section.
887
00:55:27,450 --> 00:55:31,210
It's just the vibe of the thing.
888
00:55:32,790 --> 00:55:36,710
I'm afraid, Mr. Denuto,
you'll have to be more specific.
889
00:55:36,750 --> 00:55:38,710
Oh, yeah,
sure, sure.
890
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,010
I was just starting general,
and then I was getting...
more specific...
891
00:55:42,050 --> 00:55:46,140
with the-- the, um--
Just one moment, please.
892
00:55:46,140 --> 00:55:48,470
The, um--
893
00:55:48,470 --> 00:55:51,940
Jesus, Darryl,
I am sweatin' here.
894
00:55:51,940 --> 00:55:54,110
You're killin' them,
Dennis.
895
00:55:54,150 --> 00:55:56,690
I don't even know
Roman numerals.
896
00:55:56,730 --> 00:56:00,030
Um-- It's-- It's--
897
00:56:00,070 --> 00:56:02,030
Ju--
I've got it here.
898
00:56:02,070 --> 00:56:06,080
It's the... section 51,
899
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,580
uh, second
from the bottom.
900
00:56:10,910 --> 00:56:13,580
"The Parliament shall
have power to make laws...
901
00:56:13,620 --> 00:56:16,880
with respect to copyrights,
patents of inventions...
902
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,210
and designs
and trademarks."
903
00:56:19,260 --> 00:56:21,920
It's all part of it.
904
00:56:21,970 --> 00:56:24,390
This is what I'm getting at.
That's my point.
905
00:56:24,430 --> 00:56:26,720
It's-- It's
the vibe of it.
906
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,890
All right. Taken.
907
00:56:29,930 --> 00:56:32,560
Do you have a precedent
which supports...
908
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:34,940
this...vibe?
909
00:56:34,980 --> 00:56:38,150
Uh... yes.
910
00:56:38,190 --> 00:56:41,400
Yes, I do.
Um, just one moment.
911
00:56:42,900 --> 00:56:46,160
What's the name
of the famous aboriginal?
912
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,490
- Cathy Freeman.
- No, the court case.
913
00:56:48,530 --> 00:56:51,250
- Evonne Goolagong.
- No, no, no. Ma-- Mabo.
914
00:56:51,250 --> 00:56:53,290
Mabo.
915
00:56:53,330 --> 00:56:55,960
What about it?
916
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,710
That's your classic case
of big business...
917
00:56:59,750 --> 00:57:01,760
trying to take land,
918
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,760
and they couldn't.
919
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,840
Mr. Denuto,
the Mabo decision...
920
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:11,470
pertains to the specific
issue of native land title
and terra nullius.
921
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,520
Yeah.
922
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:17,770
So what part of the judgment
is relevant to this case?
923
00:57:17,810 --> 00:57:22,490
A-Again, i-it's just
the vibe of it.
924
00:57:24,610 --> 00:57:27,780
Actually, may I
approach the bench?
925
00:57:35,620 --> 00:57:38,250
Am I wasting
my time here?
926
00:57:38,290 --> 00:57:40,670
Your case
is not strong.
927
00:57:40,710 --> 00:57:44,590
- Am I sort of in the ballpark though?
- I'm a judge.
928
00:57:44,630 --> 00:57:47,430
I understand.
Can you just give me an angle?
929
00:57:47,470 --> 00:57:49,930
I'm sorry, Mr. Denuto.
I can't.
930
00:57:49,970 --> 00:57:52,180
Understood.
Understood.
931
00:57:52,180 --> 00:57:54,930
I think I've got
a good one anyway.
932
00:58:01,730 --> 00:58:05,780
In summing up,
i-it's the Constitution,
933
00:58:05,820 --> 00:58:09,450
it's Mabo,
it's justice, it's law.
934
00:58:09,450 --> 00:58:13,330
It's the vibe,
and, uh--
935
00:58:13,370 --> 00:58:15,910
No, that's it.
It's the vibe.
936
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,130
I rest my case.
937
00:58:21,170 --> 00:58:23,210
That was sensational.
938
00:58:23,250 --> 00:58:25,590
Counsel for the respondent?
939
00:58:27,010 --> 00:58:29,590
Your Honor, I don't wish to waste
any more of your time.
940
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:33,100
- Appreciated.
- All our arguments are contained
in the forward documents,
941
00:58:33,140 --> 00:58:36,890
and we'd be more than happy
for that to constitute
the case for the respondent.
942
00:58:36,930 --> 00:58:39,190
Thank you. So be it.
943
00:58:39,230 --> 00:58:41,730
I call a one-hour
adjournment.
944
00:58:41,730 --> 00:58:44,780
Good on ya, Dennis.
That shut 'em up.
945
00:58:44,820 --> 00:58:47,860
I'm going for a bit
of a breather, mate.
946
00:59:29,570 --> 00:59:31,530
How you goin'?
947
00:59:31,570 --> 00:59:33,740
Oh, fine. Fine.
948
00:59:33,780 --> 00:59:36,290
- Got a case comin' up?
- Uh, no, no.
949
00:59:36,330 --> 00:59:39,330
I'm here to see someone.
I'm-I'm a spectator today.
950
00:59:39,330 --> 00:59:43,250
- Are you?
- My son's first appearance.
951
00:59:43,290 --> 00:59:46,960
Oh? Do you reckon
he'll get off?
952
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,590
Oh, no, no.
He's a barrister.
953
00:59:49,590 --> 00:59:53,300
- He's appearing for
the first time as a barrister.
- Congratulations.
954
00:59:53,340 --> 00:59:55,890
- Thank you.
- Uh, Darryl Kerrigan.
955
00:59:55,930 --> 00:59:58,890
- Lawrence Hammill.
- G'day, Lawrence.
956
00:59:58,890 --> 01:00:02,230
Barrister, eh?
He'd need a degree for that.
957
01:00:02,270 --> 01:00:05,770
Yes, yes. He-He's got a couple,
actually.
958
01:00:05,820 --> 01:00:09,990
- Ah, you must be as proud as punch.
- Well, you know.
959
01:00:10,030 --> 01:00:12,530
Oh, I know.
I've got a daughter.
960
01:00:12,530 --> 01:00:16,370
Diploma certificate,
fully qualified hairdresser.
961
01:00:16,410 --> 01:00:20,790
The day she came home
and told me she'd got
into Sunshine Tech...
962
01:00:20,830 --> 01:00:24,290
- was the proudest day of my life.
- Yes, yes, I can imagine.
963
01:00:24,330 --> 01:00:28,380
Yeah, sure makes us parents
look like a bunch of dodos, eh?
964
01:00:29,710 --> 01:00:32,970
You wouldn't have dreamt
of doing what your son's done.
965
01:00:33,010 --> 01:00:36,800
No, no. Anyway, Darryl,
what brings you here?
966
01:00:36,850 --> 01:00:39,430
Our bloody government's
trying to take my house.
967
01:00:39,430 --> 01:00:42,100
This new Air Link thing.
I mean, imagine that.
968
01:00:42,100 --> 01:00:44,730
Sal and me, we brought up
our whole family in that house,
969
01:00:44,770 --> 01:00:47,480
and they think they
can just walk in--
970
01:00:48,940 --> 01:00:51,900
Anyway, we're takin' 'em
to court.
971
01:00:51,900 --> 01:00:55,740
Bloody outrageous.
It's gotta be against the Constitution.
972
01:00:55,780 --> 01:00:58,870
Yes, it is outrageous.
Who's acting for you?
973
01:00:58,870 --> 01:01:02,620
- Dennis Denuto.
- Uh, never heard of him.
974
01:01:02,660 --> 01:01:05,580
You wouldn't have.
He just does our local area.
975
01:01:05,620 --> 01:01:08,920
Yeah, but I've never heard of him
in Constitutional law.
976
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,920
Oh, no, you wouldn't.
No, he does conveyancing mainly.
977
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,510
You know, wills, petty theft,
that sort of thing.
978
01:01:14,550 --> 01:01:17,090
But hey, it's all based
on the Constitution.
979
01:01:17,140 --> 01:01:20,640
Yes. Yes, in a way.
980
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,480
- Good bloke though.
- Yes. Sounds like it.
981
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,440
Anyway, uh,
I'd better be going.
982
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,980
- Sure.
- Nice talking to you, Lawrie.
983
01:01:31,030 --> 01:01:33,740
- Nice talking to you, Darryl.
- And good luck with your boy.
984
01:01:33,740 --> 01:01:38,280
Thanks, Darryl.
I hope everything works out.
985
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,330
Ah, yeah, yeah.
I'm pretty confident.
986
01:01:41,370 --> 01:01:43,750
I find in favor
of the respondent.
987
01:01:43,790 --> 01:01:45,830
Yes!
988
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,380
It's them, Darryl.
989
01:01:50,380 --> 01:01:53,710
But we was respondin'
to them.
990
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,840
We lost, Darryl.
I'm sorry.
991
01:01:57,890 --> 01:02:01,180
Dad reckons he must have
sat there for an hour.
992
01:02:01,220 --> 01:02:04,890
He said it was like being kicked
in the guts with the back end of a bus.
993
01:02:04,930 --> 01:02:09,100
Dad had to explain to Farouk
that they had lost.
994
01:02:09,150 --> 01:02:12,360
It was really hard
telling Evonne too.
995
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,360
But the toughest one
was Jack.
996
01:02:20,820 --> 01:02:22,790
Trace and Con
were great though.
997
01:02:24,700 --> 01:02:28,870
Good on you, Dad. You stood up to them.
I'm so proud of you.
998
01:02:28,870 --> 01:02:32,540
I'm so impressed with your fighting
quality, Mr. Kerrigan.
999
01:02:32,540 --> 01:02:34,550
Thanks, mate.
1000
01:02:34,550 --> 01:02:38,380
And can I just say how disenchanted
I am with our legal system.
1001
01:02:43,930 --> 01:02:47,310
Dad was very quiet
after losing the court case.
1002
01:02:47,310 --> 01:02:49,980
I'd never seen him so down.
1003
01:02:50,020 --> 01:02:53,520
He even stopped complimenting Mum
on her cooking.
1004
01:02:55,900 --> 01:02:58,030
You all right there,
Darryl?
1005
01:02:58,070 --> 01:03:00,030
Yeah.
1006
01:03:04,490 --> 01:03:07,000
Dad?
1007
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,920
Someone's, uh,
1008
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,750
sellin' a telephone box.
1009
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,720
They said no
to an extension.
1010
01:03:23,890 --> 01:03:26,470
Dennis says we've got
to be out in two weeks.
1011
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,480
Two weeks?
1012
01:03:35,730 --> 01:03:38,320
I haven't told Wayne yet.
1013
01:03:39,990 --> 01:03:42,820
I think Dad felt he'd let
everyone down, but especially Wayne.
1014
01:03:42,870 --> 01:03:45,830
That's why he'd been
puttin' off tellin' him.
1015
01:03:45,870 --> 01:03:48,870
He just couldn't think of a way
to break it to Wayne.
1016
01:03:48,910 --> 01:03:52,080
I told Dad not to worry.
I knew how to tell Wayne we'd lost.
1017
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,790
- We lost.
- Lost?
1018
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,630
Yeah.
1019
01:03:58,670 --> 01:04:00,630
Did Dad do his nut?
1020
01:04:00,670 --> 01:04:03,930
Nah, he's gone all quiet.
1021
01:04:05,100 --> 01:04:07,720
Quiet?
1022
01:04:07,770 --> 01:04:11,140
Yeah. I think he thinks
he's let everyone down.
1023
01:04:11,190 --> 01:04:13,150
Let us down?
1024
01:04:13,190 --> 01:04:15,980
Yeah, that's what I think.
1025
01:04:15,980 --> 01:04:17,980
See, especially you.
1026
01:04:17,980 --> 01:04:21,360
I think he was lookin' forward
to the day you came back to the house.
1027
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,860
Well, you tell Dad...
1028
01:04:23,910 --> 01:04:27,700
the only reason
I loved that house is 'cause
it had him and Mum in it...
1029
01:04:27,740 --> 01:04:30,660
and like... everyone else.
1030
01:04:30,700 --> 01:04:33,420
Wherever they go,
I'll love...
1031
01:04:33,420 --> 01:04:36,920
as long as it
has them in it.
1032
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:41,340
And all those lawyers
and government people
can just go and get fucked.
1033
01:04:41,380 --> 01:04:43,340
"...as long as it
has them in it.
1034
01:04:43,380 --> 01:04:46,760
And all those lawyers
and government people
can go and get fucked."
1035
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:51,060
Ah, he wanted me to change
that "get fucked" bit, but I forgot.
1036
01:04:51,100 --> 01:04:53,890
On you, mate.
1037
01:04:53,940 --> 01:04:56,560
I'd better keep packin'.
1038
01:05:35,100 --> 01:05:38,730
Dad?
1039
01:05:38,770 --> 01:05:41,360
Steven.
1040
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:46,280
I can, uh, get you
some more boxes, if you want.
1041
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,200
No, I think I'll be all right,
Steve.
1042
01:05:53,870 --> 01:05:55,830
Dad?
1043
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,380
You haven't let anyone down.
1044
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:05,670
I don't know what the opposite of...
lettin' someone down is,
1045
01:06:07,550 --> 01:06:10,010
but you done
the opposite.
1046
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,860
When are you
gonna sign 'em?
1047
01:06:28,030 --> 01:06:31,330
- I don't know.
- They gotta be done by Friday.
1048
01:06:31,370 --> 01:06:34,120
I can't.
1049
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,290
I can't.
I just can't.
1050
01:06:36,330 --> 01:06:38,830
Darryl, we gotta go.
1051
01:06:38,830 --> 01:06:40,960
Yeah, I know.
I know we lost.
1052
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,460
I know we gotta get out
of this place.
1053
01:06:43,460 --> 01:06:47,470
I know this is no longer
our house, but I'll be buggered
if I can sign those papers.
1054
01:06:47,470 --> 01:06:51,470
I just cannot physically
pick up the pen and sign them.
1055
01:06:56,430 --> 01:06:58,560
Did you speak
to Jack?
1056
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:03,360
Yeah, yeah. His son-in-law's moved
to Perth, so he's no help.
1057
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:06,820
Poor Jack.
1058
01:07:06,860 --> 01:07:10,950
Listen, I-I told him
he could stay with us
until we work somethin' out.
1059
01:07:12,570 --> 01:07:14,870
How'd you go
with the agent?
1060
01:07:14,870 --> 01:07:18,120
Two-bedroom units
are $80,000.
1061
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,120
A flat.
1062
01:07:20,170 --> 01:07:23,710
With four people,
the greyhounds,
1063
01:07:23,750 --> 01:07:26,130
five cars,
1064
01:07:26,130 --> 01:07:28,170
the boat and Jack.
1065
01:07:28,220 --> 01:07:30,340
It'll be okay.
1066
01:07:30,380 --> 01:07:34,430
- And what are we gonna do with Wayne?
- Wayne'll understand.
1067
01:07:34,470 --> 01:07:37,890
You know he keeps a photo
of this place on his wall.
1068
01:07:37,930 --> 01:07:39,890
I know.
1069
01:07:39,940 --> 01:07:45,230
He gets out after five years,
we have to put him in a laundry
smaller than his cell.
1070
01:07:45,230 --> 01:07:48,780
- Maybe we rent.
- Rent?
1071
01:07:48,820 --> 01:07:52,240
We not only lose our place,
we're payin' for someone else's.
1072
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:56,370
- Oh, Darryl--
- I'm starting to understand
how the aborigines feel.
1073
01:07:58,910 --> 01:08:01,540
Have you been drinkin'?
1074
01:08:01,580 --> 01:08:04,540
Well, this house
is like their land.
1075
01:08:04,540 --> 01:08:06,800
It-It holds
their memories.
1076
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,300
The land is their story.
It's everything.
1077
01:08:09,340 --> 01:08:13,300
You just can't pick it up
and plonk it down somewhere else.
1078
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,220
This country's gotta stop
stealin' other people's land.
1079
01:08:18,220 --> 01:08:21,810
Dad? There's someone
here to see you.
1080
01:08:23,810 --> 01:08:25,770
G'day, Darryl.
1081
01:08:26,900 --> 01:08:28,900
Lawrie.
1082
01:08:29,990 --> 01:08:32,280
So I thought
I'd come and visit.
1083
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,370
- But how'd you find us?
- You know us dodos.
1084
01:08:35,410 --> 01:08:38,450
- We've got a few tricks up our sleeves.
- Don't I know it.
1085
01:08:39,540 --> 01:08:42,870
I, uh, heard
about the decision.
1086
01:08:42,910 --> 01:08:46,290
Yeah. Yeah, well,
that's the way these things are.
1087
01:08:46,290 --> 01:08:49,000
- How'd your boy go?
- Oh, fine. Yeah, fine.
1088
01:08:49,050 --> 01:08:52,970
- Great.
- Darryl, I wonder if I
could put something to you.
1089
01:08:52,970 --> 01:08:54,970
Yeah, sure.
1090
01:08:54,970 --> 01:08:58,010
I don't think I
introduced myself fully.
1091
01:08:58,060 --> 01:09:01,890
You see, I'm retired now,
but I'm actually a lawyer myself.
1092
01:09:01,930 --> 01:09:06,360
Three degrees in the family.
I'd like to see your poolroom.
1093
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,480
I'm, uh,
what's called a Q.C.
1094
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,780
- Are you? A Q.C.? You're one of those?
- What's that?
1095
01:09:12,820 --> 01:09:16,450
- Uh, Queens Counsel.
- Oh, you counsel the queen?
1096
01:09:16,490 --> 01:09:19,790
Uh, they're the lawyers
rich people use, love.
1097
01:09:19,830 --> 01:09:23,370
Yeah, well, that's probably
the most accurate way of describing us.
1098
01:09:23,370 --> 01:09:25,420
I don't think Dennis
would be a Q.C.
1099
01:09:25,460 --> 01:09:29,420
N-No, no, I don't think.
1100
01:09:29,420 --> 01:09:31,920
Anyway, my specialty
as a Q.C...
1101
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:35,010
was Constitutional law,
Australian Constitutional law.
1102
01:09:35,050 --> 01:09:37,720
Have you heard of
the Tasmanian Dams case?
1103
01:09:38,890 --> 01:09:41,260
- Um--
- Mabo?
1104
01:09:41,310 --> 01:09:44,730
Oh, the aboriginal guy,
told the government to shove it.
1105
01:09:44,770 --> 01:09:46,730
That's the one.
1106
01:09:46,770 --> 01:09:50,610
Uh, anyway, I've had quite
a bit to do with these over the years,
1107
01:09:50,650 --> 01:09:54,440
and I've had a look into your case
over the last few days,
1108
01:09:54,490 --> 01:09:57,110
and I think there's
a bit more to it.
1109
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,660
- What do you mean?
- I think you've got a case.
1110
01:10:00,660 --> 01:10:03,910
- So Dennis was on the right track.
- Y-Yes.
1111
01:10:03,950 --> 01:10:06,040
I told you that judge
had it in for him.
1112
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:08,500
I believe there's a section
of the Constitution...
1113
01:10:08,500 --> 01:10:11,920
about the government's right to acquire
land that hasn't been tested.
1114
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,130
But Dennis tested it.
1115
01:10:14,170 --> 01:10:18,260
Well, I-I think we
could test it better.
1116
01:10:18,300 --> 01:10:22,600
Anyway, I would like
to appear on your behalf... gratis.
1117
01:10:23,770 --> 01:10:27,060
- No fee.
- Well, no, we couldn't.
1118
01:10:27,100 --> 01:10:29,650
I've done pretty well
out of this law caper over the years,
1119
01:10:29,690 --> 01:10:32,730
- so if you're happy for me
to take it further--
-Further?
1120
01:10:32,770 --> 01:10:35,940
But we've been
to the federal court.
1121
01:10:35,990 --> 01:10:38,450
How much further
can we take it?
1122
01:10:38,530 --> 01:10:40,450
Three weeks later...
1123
01:10:40,490 --> 01:10:44,700
Mr. Hammill, Dad and Dennis went
to the High Court of Australia, which is
the highest court in Australia.
1124
01:10:44,700 --> 01:10:47,790
Lawrie asked Dennis to be
his instructing solicitor.
1125
01:10:47,830 --> 01:10:51,250
Dennis was stoked,
but shittin' himself at the same time.
1126
01:10:51,250 --> 01:10:53,800
I'm shittin' myself.
1127
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:57,880
- Shall we?
- Let's stick it up 'em.
1128
01:11:00,510 --> 01:11:02,970
And so Dad, or as he
was called by the judge--
1129
01:11:03,010 --> 01:11:05,930
Darryl John Kerrigan--
1130
01:11:05,930 --> 01:11:08,310
sat in the High Court
of Australia and put his case.
1131
01:11:08,350 --> 01:11:10,650
Or at least
Mr. Hammill did.
1132
01:11:10,690 --> 01:11:15,190
Dennis was very helpful too.
He was passing books around
like a librarian.
1133
01:11:15,230 --> 01:11:18,450
He even learnt Roman numerals
especially for the trip.
1134
01:11:18,450 --> 01:11:22,660
Um, paragraph, uh... 31.
1135
01:11:22,700 --> 01:11:26,080
- Thank you, Dennis.
- But Dad reckoned there
was no doubt about it.
1136
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,410
From the moment he stood up,
Mr. Hammill was the star of the show.
1137
01:11:29,460 --> 01:11:33,170
Section 51,
paragraph 31.
1138
01:11:33,210 --> 01:11:36,210
"The parliament shall
have power to make laws...
1139
01:11:36,250 --> 01:11:41,510
with respect to the acquisition
of property on just terms."
1140
01:11:41,550 --> 01:11:44,600
Let's think about those words,
"on just terms" ...
1141
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,350
and how they relate
to real people.
1142
01:11:47,390 --> 01:11:49,940
Your Honor, my client
built his home by the law,
1143
01:11:49,980 --> 01:11:52,770
in full accordance
with the law.
1144
01:11:52,810 --> 01:11:55,360
He doesn't know
about the extensions.
1145
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,650
But does he have
the protection of the law?
1146
01:11:57,690 --> 01:12:02,160
How can the forcible removal
of a family, a good family,
from their home...
1147
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:05,370
have the blessing
of our Constitution?
1148
01:12:05,410 --> 01:12:08,790
How can that be...
"just terms" ?
1149
01:12:08,830 --> 01:12:11,080
Dad reckoned it
was in the bag,
1150
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:15,000
even though they had five times
more lawyers than we did.
1151
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:18,000
My client has adhered
to the law, every law,
1152
01:12:18,050 --> 01:12:22,180
every statute from the Town Planning Act
to Civil Aviation Regulations.
1153
01:12:22,220 --> 01:12:25,550
But in what can only be described
as a last desperate measure,
1154
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:30,020
my client is accused
of breaching none other
than the Constitution.
1155
01:12:30,060 --> 01:12:33,140
I mean, good Lord,
what else are we guilty of?
1156
01:12:33,190 --> 01:12:36,270
lnternational war crimes, hmm?
1157
01:12:36,310 --> 01:12:39,070
He's even paid people
to laugh for him.
1158
01:12:39,110 --> 01:12:42,570
I refer the court to His Honor
Mr. Justice Dixon's decision...
1159
01:12:42,610 --> 01:12:44,570
in Grace Brothers
and the Commonwealth.
1160
01:12:44,610 --> 01:12:47,950
As much as Dad hated to admit
it the other lawyer was good,
1161
01:12:47,990 --> 01:12:50,700
and he was gonna give us
a real run for our money.
1162
01:12:50,750 --> 01:12:52,710
A safeguard
to the commonwealth.
1163
01:12:52,750 --> 01:12:56,920
But if Mr. Hammill was worried,
he didn't show it. He kept right on at 'em.
1164
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:56,960
...has acquired the status
of a constitutional guarantee,
But if Mr. Hammill was worried,
he didn't show it. He kept right on at 'em.
1165
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:59,460
...has acquired the status
of a constitutional guarantee,
1166
01:12:59,500 --> 01:13:01,720
which is designed
to protect the individual--
1167
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,470
But everything he said,
they had an answer for.
1168
01:13:04,510 --> 01:13:08,100
- Your Honor, that statement
was obiter dictum.
- Was not!
1169
01:13:11,350 --> 01:13:13,810
Well, it wasn't.
1170
01:13:13,850 --> 01:13:16,150
- Was it?
- I don't know.
1171
01:13:16,190 --> 01:13:20,480
The interpretation of
"on just terms" was considered
in the Tasmanian Dams case.
1172
01:13:20,530 --> 01:13:24,740
The court took into account
the interests of the community,
1173
01:13:24,780 --> 01:13:27,910
such as, uh,
job creation--
1174
01:13:27,910 --> 01:13:30,580
Dad reckoned Dennis got
the hang of things real quick.
1175
01:13:30,620 --> 01:13:35,080
The main job of the senior counsel
was to provide backup for the Q.C.
1176
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:38,880
Ah, yes. And this is further underlined
in Georgiades--
1177
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,300
- And that's what Dennis did.
- Ah, utilitarianism.
1178
01:13:42,340 --> 01:13:45,260
The greatest good
for the greatest number.
1179
01:13:45,300 --> 01:13:48,300
But what this principle
fails to--
1180
01:13:54,940 --> 01:13:57,850
What this principle fails to take
into account...
1181
01:13:57,900 --> 01:14:01,980
is that competing rights cannot
be weighed one against the other.
1182
01:14:01,980 --> 01:14:05,650
Is a family's right to live freely
in their home outweighed--
1183
01:14:05,650 --> 01:14:08,030
It wasn't just
legal argument.
1184
01:14:08,070 --> 01:14:10,870
Mr. Hammill even put jokes in,
clever jokes.
1185
01:14:10,870 --> 01:14:14,500
...not that our children
will have a place to live,
1186
01:14:14,500 --> 01:14:18,670
but whether they'll have prompt delivery
of their parcels.
1187
01:14:18,710 --> 01:14:21,540
Dad thought
it was real funny,
1188
01:14:21,540 --> 01:14:23,880
even though he
didn't get it.
1189
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:27,090
Suffer in your jocks.
1190
01:14:27,130 --> 01:14:31,350
In fact, there were
a lot of times he didn't quite
understand what was being said,
1191
01:14:31,390 --> 01:14:35,310
but one time he knew exactly
what was being said.
1192
01:14:35,350 --> 01:14:38,770
He's even approached
the appellant with an offer
of compensation,
1193
01:14:38,770 --> 01:14:43,570
a generous offer considering
the nature of the, uh, dwelling,
1194
01:14:43,570 --> 01:14:46,740
or as it might more accurately
be called, eyesore.
1195
01:14:46,740 --> 01:14:49,490
- What are you calling an eyesore?
- Darryl.
1196
01:14:49,530 --> 01:14:51,910
It's called a home,
you dickhead!
1197
01:14:51,910 --> 01:14:53,910
- Your Honor.
- Darryl!
1198
01:14:53,910 --> 01:14:56,960
It's a bloody fine one. If there
were more homes like that, we'd--
1199
01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:59,830
Have the jails full
of people like your son?
1200
01:14:59,870 --> 01:15:02,920
- Ah, this bloody asshole!
- Sit down, Darryl.
1201
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,630
Mr. Hammill, I'm calling
an adjournment.
1202
01:15:05,630 --> 01:15:10,640
And I trust that your client
will, in the meantime, compose himself.
1203
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:16,060
Mr. Lyle, I'll thank you
not to make any further value
judgments in this court.
1204
01:15:16,100 --> 01:15:18,140
I'm sorry, Lawrie.
1205
01:15:18,180 --> 01:15:20,230
That's all right, Darryl.
1206
01:15:20,270 --> 01:15:22,310
I was thinking
the same thing,
1207
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,980
though not
in those words.
1208
01:15:25,030 --> 01:15:28,110
I wish I had your words.
1209
01:15:28,150 --> 01:15:30,110
How dare they?
1210
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,120
I mean, an eyesore!
1211
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,540
I mean, that--
that just goes to show
that they don't get it.
1212
01:15:35,580 --> 01:15:38,080
I mean, they're judging the place
by what it looks like,
1213
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:43,210
and if it doesn't have
a pool or a classy front
or a big garden--
1214
01:15:43,250 --> 01:15:45,380
It's got a pretty good gate.
1215
01:15:45,420 --> 01:15:49,670
And then because of that,
it's not worth saving.
1216
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,470
But it's not a house.
It's a home.
1217
01:15:53,510 --> 01:15:56,140
It's got everything.
1218
01:15:56,180 --> 01:15:59,930
People who love each other,
care for each other.
1219
01:15:59,930 --> 01:16:02,020
It's got memories.
1220
01:16:02,060 --> 01:16:04,110
Great memories.
1221
01:16:04,150 --> 01:16:08,110
It's a place
for the family to turn to,
1222
01:16:08,110 --> 01:16:10,780
come back to.
1223
01:16:10,780 --> 01:16:15,620
But that doesn't seem to mean as much
as a big fuckin' driveway.
1224
01:16:15,620 --> 01:16:18,870
Later it was time
for Mr. Hammill to sum up.
1225
01:16:18,910 --> 01:16:22,460
Dad said
he was unbelievable.
1226
01:16:22,460 --> 01:16:25,590
He reckoned he finished
like a champion greyhound.
1227
01:16:25,630 --> 01:16:27,000
People who love each other--
1228
01:16:27,050 --> 01:16:29,800
He quoted cases, he quoted laws.
1229
01:16:30,050 --> 01:16:33,970
But Dad nearly fell off
his chair when Mr. Hammill
finished by quoting Dad,
1230
01:16:33,970 --> 01:16:35,970
only better.
1231
01:16:35,970 --> 01:16:39,350
And somehow that's not worth
as much as a big driveway.
1232
01:16:39,390 --> 01:16:44,520
You may think our appeal
is based on emotion rather than law.
1233
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:46,730
Not true.
1234
01:16:46,770 --> 01:16:51,070
It's about the highest law in
this country, the Constitution,
1235
01:16:51,110 --> 01:16:54,910
and one phrase within it:
"on just terms."
1236
01:16:57,530 --> 01:17:01,040
That's what this
is all about-- being just.
1237
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,670
They want to pay only
for the house.
1238
01:17:04,710 --> 01:17:08,710
But they're taking away
more than that, so much more.
1239
01:17:08,750 --> 01:17:12,090
Sure, the Kerrigans
built a house,
1240
01:17:12,090 --> 01:17:14,930
then they built a home,
and then a family.
1241
01:17:14,930 --> 01:17:19,390
You can acquire a house,
1242
01:17:19,430 --> 01:17:22,270
but you can't
acquire a home,
1243
01:17:22,270 --> 01:17:25,100
because a home is not built
of bricks and mortar...
1244
01:17:25,150 --> 01:17:28,900
but love and memories.
1245
01:17:30,150 --> 01:17:32,440
You can't pay for it,
1246
01:17:32,440 --> 01:17:35,530
and you're just shortchanging
people if you try.
1247
01:17:35,570 --> 01:17:40,080
I can't speak for those
who wrote this document,
1248
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,910
but I'll bet when they put in
the phrase "on just terms,"
1249
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:47,420
they hoped
it would stop anyone...
1250
01:17:47,460 --> 01:17:52,090
shortchanging someone
like Darryl Kerrigan.
1251
01:17:54,170 --> 01:17:56,970
Thanks, Lawrence.
1252
01:18:03,180 --> 01:18:06,440
Thank you.
1253
01:18:06,480 --> 01:18:10,730
In the end, who knows whether
it was Dad's words or Mr. Hammill
1254
01:18:10,770 --> 01:18:14,360
or even Dennis' note passing--
...but we won the case.
1255
01:18:14,490 --> 01:18:16,490
...in favor
of the appellant.
1256
01:18:16,530 --> 01:18:18,490
Shit.
1257
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,200
That's us.
1258
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,080
Bullshit.
We won?
1259
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:28,670
- We won.
- You little ripper!
1260
01:18:28,710 --> 01:18:32,800
Thanks, lads.
1261
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:33,630
We won.
1262
01:18:33,670 --> 01:18:36,380
Dad was stoked
but suitably restrained.
1263
01:18:36,420 --> 01:18:39,470
He reckons the other side
didn't know what to do with themselves.
1264
01:18:39,510 --> 01:18:42,100
Dennis was so stunned,
he went all quiet.
1265
01:18:42,100 --> 01:18:45,850
Dad reckons he almost cried.
In fact, I think he did.
1266
01:18:45,890 --> 01:18:48,560
Mr. Hammill
just sat there for ages.
1267
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:53,070
He reckoned it was the most satisfying
victory he'd had in 47 years.
1268
01:18:53,110 --> 01:18:56,990
Dad reckons it's important
to be noble in victory,
so he spoke to the other Q.C. ...
1269
01:18:56,990 --> 01:18:58,070
Oh, hey.
1270
01:18:58,110 --> 01:18:59,820
...the one who had a go at Wayne.
1271
01:18:59,910 --> 01:19:02,370
Bad luck.
1272
01:19:02,410 --> 01:19:05,660
You dickhead!
1273
01:19:06,790 --> 01:19:10,330
The case was all over
the news that night.
1274
01:19:10,420 --> 01:19:14,500
Good evening. First tonight,
a landmark decision in
the High Court today...
1275
01:19:14,550 --> 01:19:18,170
has confirmed the age-old saying,
"A man's home is his castle."
1276
01:19:18,220 --> 01:19:22,720
When the huge Air Link
consortium tried to compulsorily
acquire a string of homes...
1277
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,310
on Melbourne's outskirts
earlier this year,
1278
01:19:25,350 --> 01:19:27,730
they didn't expect a fight.
1279
01:19:27,770 --> 01:19:31,400
- Well, they got one.
- It was a
case of Darryl versus Goliath...
1280
01:19:31,440 --> 01:19:33,900
in the High Court
of Australia today.
1281
01:19:33,940 --> 01:19:37,150
Mum reckons it's real funny
how one day you're not famous,
1282
01:19:37,190 --> 01:19:39,400
and then the next day
you are... famous,
1283
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:41,410
and then you're not
anymore.
1284
01:19:41,410 --> 01:19:46,120
Dad had one of the biggest parties ever
that night back at home.
1285
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,750
He invited everyone
from the neighborhood--
1286
01:19:48,750 --> 01:19:50,870
his friends,
family, in-laws.
1287
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:54,130
This case has totally regained my faith
in the legal system.
1288
01:19:54,170 --> 01:19:56,090
Mr. Hammill even
brought his son along.
1289
01:19:56,130 --> 01:19:58,050
Really pleased to meet you.
1290
01:19:58,090 --> 01:20:00,760
Everyone was havin'
a real good time,
1291
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:07,060
especially Mum and Dad.
1292
01:20:07,100 --> 01:20:10,480
I'd never seen them
so happy.
1293
01:20:10,480 --> 01:20:12,810
Dad invited everyone
up to Bonnie Doon.
1294
01:20:12,810 --> 01:20:15,150
I fix for you a special Farouk
pressure system.
1295
01:20:15,150 --> 01:20:18,900
Mr. Hammill said he'd love
to come. I don't think he'd
ever fished for carp.
1296
01:20:18,940 --> 01:20:23,450
Well, that party
went on and on and on.
Dad smiled all night.
1297
01:20:23,530 --> 01:20:25,740
See, this is why we need that patio.
1298
01:20:25,780 --> 01:20:28,160
The victory was reported
in all the papers.
1299
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:31,160
It became known
as the Kerrigan Decision.
1300
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:33,330
Jack, don't thank me.
This is the bloke.
1301
01:20:33,330 --> 01:20:36,920
Although Dad said,
as far as he was concerned,
it was Lawrie's victory.
1302
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:40,090
And don't forget
Dennis here either.
1303
01:20:40,130 --> 01:20:43,680
That was the beginning
of a string of good luck
for our family.
1304
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:48,260
Six months later
we got notice that Wayne would
soon be eligible for parole.
1305
01:20:48,310 --> 01:20:52,390
Dad rang Mr. Hammill,
who was more than happy
to come out of retirement again.
1306
01:20:52,390 --> 01:20:55,270
Wayne said the parole board
couldn't believe their eyes.
1307
01:20:55,310 --> 01:20:58,900
When Mr. Hammill walked in,
he reckons they granted him
parole out of shock.
1308
01:21:00,900 --> 01:21:03,570
Dennis became very well-known
after the case,
1309
01:21:03,610 --> 01:21:06,120
and people came from everywhere
to hire him.
1310
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:08,120
He won a very big case,
1311
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:12,250
a class action against people who put
lead in the landfill 15 years ago.
1312
01:21:12,290 --> 01:21:15,790
I think Mr. Hammill
helped him there too.
Dad is very happy for him.
1313
01:21:15,830 --> 01:21:19,130
He even bought himself
a new photocopier,
1314
01:21:19,170 --> 01:21:21,800
one that never breaks down.
1315
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:25,390
And guess what. Mr. Hammill did go up
to Bonnie Doon.
1316
01:21:25,430 --> 01:21:28,640
At first Dad thought it was
out of politeness, but it can't be...
1317
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,060
'cause he goes up there
all the time.
1318
01:21:31,100 --> 01:21:35,310
He and Dad still hit it off
as good as they did
the first day they met.
1319
01:21:35,310 --> 01:21:37,560
Coco never won another race,
1320
01:21:37,610 --> 01:21:40,780
but she had a son
which Dad called Son of Coco.
1321
01:21:40,820 --> 01:21:43,820
He hasn't won yet,
but Dad has high hopes.
1322
01:21:43,860 --> 01:21:48,240
Dad did finish the patio
in a Greek style, and the extension,
1323
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,950
and he even put up those big iron gates
that he and Steve...
1324
01:21:50,990 --> 01:21:53,700
had gotten for a bargain
that night in Toorak.
1325
01:21:53,750 --> 01:21:56,210
Steve got back with Kerry,
his old girlfriend.
1326
01:21:56,210 --> 01:22:00,040
Eventually they got married
and had a little boy...
three weeks later.
1327
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,210
"Baby capsule,
still in box."
1328
01:22:03,260 --> 01:22:05,550
Con and Trace
had a kid too.
1329
01:22:05,550 --> 01:22:10,220
He's already taken up kickboxing.
They are great parents.
1330
01:22:11,260 --> 01:22:15,270
Wayne started helping Dad
with the tow truck
and really made a go at it.
1331
01:22:15,310 --> 01:22:19,060
Dad's even more proud of him now
than when he was in jail.
1332
01:22:19,060 --> 01:22:21,320
It was Wayne's idea
to move into tray trucks.
1333
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:24,110
Pretty soon they had two,
then three, then eight.
1334
01:22:24,110 --> 01:22:27,110
Who knows when it will stop?
Mum reckons 11.
1335
01:22:27,110 --> 01:22:29,820
She's as proud as punch
with all this.
1336
01:22:29,870 --> 01:22:34,790
And guess what. She did take up pottery.
She didn't even need lessons.
1337
01:22:34,790 --> 01:22:39,500
And Dad, well, he reckoned
he'd got everything
he'd ever wished for.
1338
01:22:39,540 --> 01:22:43,460
He often used to sit out on the patio
and just smile to himself.
1339
01:22:43,460 --> 01:22:46,340
And they still live
at 3 Highview Crescent,
1340
01:22:46,380 --> 01:22:48,840
even though it's only
them two livin' in it.
1341
01:22:48,890 --> 01:22:51,470
And Dad still calls it
"his castle."
1342
01:22:54,850 --> 01:22:58,600
My name's Dale Kerrigan,
and that was my story.
1342
01:22:59,305 --> 01:23:05,704
