1
00:00:57,599 --> 00:01:01,217
My name is Dale kerrigan
and this is my story.
2
00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:05,229
Our family lives at
3 highview Crescent, coolaroo.
3
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:08,357
Dad bought this place 15 years ago
for a steal.
4
00:01:08,527 --> 00:01:11,894
As the real estate agent said,
“location, location, location!”
5
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,563
And we're right next door
to the airport!
6
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:18,325
It will be very convenient
if we ever have to fly one day.
7
00:01:22,332 --> 00:01:24,994
Dad still can't work out
how he got it so cheap.
8
00:01:25,168 --> 00:01:28,080
It's worth almost as much today
as when we bought it.
9
00:01:28,255 --> 00:01:31,418
Our Crescent was gonna be the heart
of a major housing development,
10
00:01:31,592 --> 00:01:33,128
but it never got up.
11
00:01:33,302 --> 00:01:35,509
They reckon the planes
put people off.
12
00:01:35,679 --> 00:01:37,215
Them and the powerlines.
13
00:01:37,389 --> 00:01:38,754
Not dad.
14
00:01:38,932 --> 00:01:41,093
He reckons powerlines are a reminder
15
00:01:41,268 --> 00:01:43,179
of man's ability
fo generate electricity.
16
00:01:43,353 --> 00:01:45,594
He's always saying
great things like that.
17
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:48,809
That's why we love him so much.
18
00:01:48,984 --> 00:01:52,101
Dad is the backbone
of the kerrigan family.
19
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:54,190
He made our billiard table.
20
00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:57,447
Shot, Dale.
21
00:01:57,618 --> 00:01:59,984
In fact, he's built half this house.
22
00:02:00,162 --> 00:02:01,618
He's always planning extensions.
23
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:04,245
I reckon we need a patio.
Oh, darl!
24
00:02:04,416 --> 00:02:07,123
How about we finish
the back room first?
25
00:02:07,294 --> 00:02:09,535
Nup. I'm waiting on
some cheap cladding.
26
00:02:09,713 --> 00:02:12,125
I reckon we give the patio
another go.
27
00:02:12,299 --> 00:02:16,212
Dad is a tow fruck driver,
one of the best in the game.
28
00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:18,468
He takes great pride in his work.
29
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,130
And he comes home
with so many stories.
30
00:02:21,308 --> 00:02:23,424
The car was wrapped around the pole.
31
00:02:23,602 --> 00:02:26,765
So I said, “why not hook
the chain on the back axle?”
32
00:02:26,938 --> 00:02:28,849
See, no-one had thought of it.
33
00:02:29,024 --> 00:02:33,313
If dad is the backbone,
mum is the other bones - all of them.
34
00:02:33,487 --> 00:02:35,023
She keeps the family together.
35
00:02:35,197 --> 00:02:37,438
Dad adores mum,
and mum adores him.
36
00:02:37,616 --> 00:02:41,108
They met at the greyhounds one night
and it was love at first sight.
37
00:02:41,286 --> 00:02:45,074
Mum just loves craft. And she can
pretty up just about anything.
38
00:02:45,248 --> 00:02:46,613
How'd you do that?
39
00:02:46,792 --> 00:02:49,124
Spray can and stencil, darl -
that's all you need.
40
00:02:49,294 --> 00:02:50,750
You could sell that.
41
00:02:50,921 --> 00:02:53,253
Dad always reckons
mum could open a shop.
42
00:02:53,423 --> 00:02:56,085
But she has a good part-time job
in the office at sunbeam.
43
00:02:56,259 --> 00:02:58,716
Dad reckons mum is
the greatest cook on earth.
44
00:02:58,887 --> 00:03:01,674
What do you call that, darl?
Sponge cake.
45
00:03:01,848 --> 00:03:03,213
Beautiful!
46
00:03:03,392 --> 00:03:06,759
And what's that stuff on top?
Icing sugar.
47
00:03:06,937 --> 00:03:08,302
How is it, kids?
48
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,687
Why would you want to go
out to a restaurant
49
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:13,098
when this keeps coming up
night after night?
50
00:03:13,276 --> 00:03:16,484
I have two brothers and a sister,
all older than me.
51
00:03:16,655 --> 00:03:18,191
Steve is an apprentice mechanic
52
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:21,528
but he spends most of his time
reading the 'trading post.
53
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:23,613
He just loves buying and trading.
54
00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:25,743
Ergonomic chairs, four of 'em.
55
00:03:25,914 --> 00:03:28,075
What's he want? $180.
56
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:30,286
He's dreamin'.
57
00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:32,371
Him and dad really know bargains.
58
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:34,082
Steve is also an ideas man.
59
00:03:34,256 --> 00:03:36,838
That's why dad calls him
the 'ideas man' -
60
00:03:37,008 --> 00:03:38,544
he has lots of ideas.
61
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:41,677
It's a motorcycle helmet
with a built-in brake light.
62
00:03:42,764 --> 00:03:45,005
You are an ideas man, Steve.
63
00:03:45,183 --> 00:03:47,014
Dad thinks all of us are tremendous,
64
00:03:47,185 --> 00:03:50,643
but I guess it's no secret
that Tracey is his favourite.
65
00:03:50,814 --> 00:03:52,350
How do I look, dad?
66
00:03:52,524 --> 00:03:54,185
Dad just loves her!
67
00:03:54,359 --> 00:03:56,566
You look... beautiful!
68
00:03:56,737 --> 00:03:58,898
Thanks, dad!
69
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:03,281
Tracey is the only girl in
the family, apart from mum and gran.
70
00:04:03,452 --> 00:04:06,194
Tracey constantly gave dad
proud moments.
71
00:04:06,371 --> 00:04:08,362
Once she was on 'the price is right.
72
00:04:10,333 --> 00:04:12,915
It was such an exciting
afternoon for us.
73
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:14,451
Swap them around.
74
00:04:14,629 --> 00:04:15,994
None of us could actually believe
75
00:04:16,173 --> 00:04:18,164
it was Tracey up there
with Larry emdur.
76
00:04:18,341 --> 00:04:20,127
$45,000 worth of prizes.
77
00:04:20,302 --> 00:04:24,591
The luggage needs to be more
than $640 and less than $740.
78
00:04:24,765 --> 00:04:26,301
She almost won the lot.
79
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:27,965
Go!
80
00:04:28,143 --> 00:04:29,383
Ohhh!
81
00:04:29,561 --> 00:04:31,472
If only she'd known
the price of the luggage.
82
00:04:31,646 --> 00:04:33,477
I'm so sorry about that.
83
00:04:33,648 --> 00:04:37,436
But she still managed to come home
with a tumble-dryer and drill set.
84
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:40,023
She is the only member
of the kerrigan family
85
00:04:40,197 --> 00:04:41,733
who'd had a tertiary education.
86
00:04:41,907 --> 00:04:44,023
Dad reckons the day trace told him
87
00:04:44,201 --> 00:04:46,317
she'd been accepted
into sunshine tafe hairdressing
88
00:04:46,495 --> 00:04:48,907
was about the proudest day
of his life.
89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,492
I knew he thought about that - a lot.
90
00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:54,624
There were only two places
he did his thinkin' -
91
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:59,004
in the poolroom, and out the back,
looking up at the powerlines.
92
00:04:59,174 --> 00:05:01,881
Yep, dad's a real thinker.
93
00:05:02,052 --> 00:05:05,215
But the proudest day
was the day she got married -
94
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:06,969
to this nice guy called con.
95
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:10,052
He is an accountant,
but also a fanatical kickboxer.
96
00:05:10,227 --> 00:05:12,434
Now trace
has taken up kickboxing too.
97
00:05:12,604 --> 00:05:15,016
Dad could not get the smile
off his face
98
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:17,397
and he gave a speech
that brought the house down.
99
00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:21,105
As the bride's parents,
I don't mind paying for the wedding,
100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,816
but could you please stop bustin'
all them plates?!
101
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:26,572
That being a Greek custom and all.
102
00:05:27,994 --> 00:05:29,359
I suppose as a father,
103
00:05:29,538 --> 00:05:32,951
you'd like your daughter
to marry one of your own.
104
00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:36,287
And let's not beat around the bush -
the greeks have a reputation.
105
00:05:36,461 --> 00:05:39,624
At first, the petropoulouses thought
he was having a go at them,
106
00:05:39,798 --> 00:05:42,665
but dad was just saying
how much he thought of con.
107
00:05:42,843 --> 00:05:45,585
I never thought anyone
could love our trace
108
00:05:45,762 --> 00:05:48,378
as much as me, sal and the boys.
109
00:05:48,557 --> 00:05:51,845
But there is another person - con.
110
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:54,555
Smart, polite, fit as a fiddle.
111
00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:59,143
And anyone who loves our trace
as much as us, deserves our love.
112
00:05:59,359 --> 00:06:02,101
So, we love you, con.
113
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,894
We love ya.
114
00:06:04,072 --> 00:06:05,858
Thank you and, uh...
115
00:06:07,117 --> 00:06:08,857
Kalispera.
116
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:11,367
That's 'good evening'.
117
00:06:14,082 --> 00:06:18,121
We'd had many top nights,
but this was the most top.
118
00:06:18,295 --> 00:06:20,126
Pity my oldest brother
couldn't be there.
119
00:06:20,338 --> 00:06:22,624
His name's Wayne.
120
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:24,164
He's in jail.
121
00:06:24,342 --> 00:06:25,707
Eight years for armed robbery.
122
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:29,094
Many people would call him
the black sheep of the family.
123
00:06:29,264 --> 00:06:32,347
But not mum and dad. He got
caught up with the wrong crowd.
124
00:06:32,517 --> 00:06:35,850
He didn't mean to Rob
the petrol station. Now he's sorry.
125
00:06:36,021 --> 00:06:38,763
With good behaviour,
he'll be out in a couple of years.
126
00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:40,476
I visit him every Friday.
127
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:42,265
How's mum? Good.
128
00:06:44,237 --> 00:06:45,943
How's dad? Good.
129
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:50,736
How's trace? Good.
130
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,116
How are you? Good.
131
00:06:58,627 --> 00:07:00,788
How's Steve? He's alright.
132
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:03,787
Good.
133
00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:07,457
Even though he's the oldest and
I'm the youngest, we get on great!
134
00:07:07,636 --> 00:07:10,127
We can just chat for hours.
135
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:11,886
Thanks for coming, Dale.
136
00:07:13,058 --> 00:07:15,424
You want some Chewie? Nuh.
137
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:19,766
So, as you can see,
our family is very close-knit.
138
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:22,522
We also have pets - four greyhounds.
139
00:07:22,692 --> 00:07:24,432
Banshee...
140
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:26,351
_starflash...
141
00:07:26,529 --> 00:07:29,236
Trailblazer... and coco.
142
00:07:29,407 --> 00:07:32,444
Coco is the best, most successful
dad has ever had.
143
00:07:32,619 --> 00:07:36,703
She picked up two firsts
in the country and a third in town.
144
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:39,080
Dad feeds them every morning
in big bowls
145
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:41,366
that Steve made
out of tractor hub caps.
146
00:07:41,544 --> 00:07:45,332
They are good dogs, good to dad,
and dad is good to them.
147
00:07:45,507 --> 00:07:48,999
All of them are descended
from his first dog - red rocket.
148
00:07:49,177 --> 00:07:52,590
Dad never stops marvelling
at the beauty of the greyhound.
149
00:07:52,764 --> 00:07:55,722
In fact, he doesn't even race them
for the money.
150
00:07:55,892 --> 00:07:57,803
He reckons they are noble animals,
151
00:07:57,978 --> 00:08:01,141
skinny and sleek
and have a beautiful shout.
152
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:04,727
Another thing dad loves
is his boat - 'sealady'.
153
00:08:04,901 --> 00:08:08,109
He cleans it every Saturday
with something else Steve built -
154
00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:10,736
it's a brush with a hose in it.
155
00:08:10,907 --> 00:08:13,148
Dad never stops marvelling
at Steve's ideas.
156
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:15,362
He's an ideas man, Steve.
157
00:08:15,537 --> 00:08:18,449
Steve gave it to dad
for father's day.
158
00:08:18,623 --> 00:08:22,411
That's something our family
prides itself on - presents.
159
00:08:22,585 --> 00:08:24,871
Even though none of us
have a real lot of money,
160
00:08:25,046 --> 00:08:26,957
we love giving each other presents.
161
00:08:27,132 --> 00:08:29,544
Ohhh!
He got a rod and reel from trace.
162
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,083
A rod and reel!
163
00:08:31,261 --> 00:08:33,422
I gave him a new muzzle.
A muzzle!
164
00:08:33,596 --> 00:08:35,678
Wayne sent him an ashtray
he'd made in prison shop.
165
00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:38,591
An ashtray! But I don't smoke.
166
00:08:38,768 --> 00:08:43,262
And mum... well, mum got him a big
German beer mug from Franklin mint.
167
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,396
Dad couldn't believe his eyes!
168
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,979
It was too good
to even drink beer out of.
169
00:08:48,153 --> 00:08:52,396
I'd like to do pottery.
You should. You'd be good at it.
170
00:08:52,574 --> 00:08:55,486
This is going straight
to the poolroom.
171
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:58,276
All dad's most prized possessions
are in the poolroom -
172
00:08:58,455 --> 00:08:59,820
all his mementos
173
00:08:59,998 --> 00:09:02,034
and things that remind him
of something special.
174
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:05,075
So, by him saying it was
“going straight to the poolroom”
175
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:06,993
meant that he thought
it was special.
176
00:09:07,172 --> 00:09:10,539
That is a collector's item.
177
00:09:10,717 --> 00:09:13,959
This has been
the best father's day ever.
178
00:09:14,137 --> 00:09:16,344
Of course, there were ups and downs.
179
00:09:16,514 --> 00:09:18,630
Wayne being in jail
was an example of a down.
180
00:09:18,808 --> 00:09:22,300
But, all in all, 3 highview Crescent
was a happy home.
181
00:09:22,479 --> 00:09:24,140
Dad called it his castle.
182
00:09:24,314 --> 00:09:25,850
But one day in June...
183
00:09:26,024 --> 00:09:28,436
A knock at the door
was to change all that.
184
00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:29,975
Yeah?
185
00:09:30,153 --> 00:09:32,109
Mr Darryl kerrigan? Yeah.
186
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,236
John Clifton. I'm from the local council.
187
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:36,113
Is this about the dogs? No.
188
00:09:36,284 --> 00:09:37,649
The aerial? No.
189
00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:39,192
The extensions? No, mr kerrigan.
190
00:09:39,370 --> 00:09:42,157
If this is about my truck
on the nature strip...
191
00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:44,744
No! I'm a valuer
with the local council.
192
00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:47,876
I'm here to do a land valuation.
What for?
193
00:09:48,046 --> 00:09:50,082
All properties get valued
from time to time.
194
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:53,999
Oh, yeah? So, you'd be able to
give me a value on this place?
195
00:09:54,177 --> 00:09:56,088
That's my job. That'd be good.
196
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:59,720
Do you want me to show you around?
If you wouldn't mind. Yeah.
197
00:09:59,891 --> 00:10:01,597
Oh, not at all.
198
00:10:01,768 --> 00:10:03,679
Be pleased to.
199
00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:05,218
Because, between you and me,
200
00:10:05,396 --> 00:10:09,309
I reckon values around here are...
201
00:10:12,028 --> 00:10:14,986
As you can see, I've put
a fair bit of work into it.
202
00:10:15,156 --> 00:10:17,693
Would you like me to point out
the features as we go along?
203
00:10:17,867 --> 00:10:19,232
If you wouldn't mind, yeah.
204
00:10:19,410 --> 00:10:21,366
See that lace up there? Yeah.
205
00:10:21,538 --> 00:10:23,529
Fake. Plastic.
206
00:10:23,706 --> 00:10:26,789
Gives the place a victoriana feel.
207
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,700
The chimney?
208
00:10:28,878 --> 00:10:30,243
Fake too.
209
00:10:30,421 --> 00:10:32,161
Why is it there? Charm.
210
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:34,501
Adds a bit of charm.
211
00:10:34,676 --> 00:10:38,134
Look at the size of that aerial.
That's a big aerial.
212
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:41,171
What do you think? Add a bit of value?
Hard to say.
213
00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:43,260
Yeah.
214
00:10:43,434 --> 00:10:45,925
You can over-capitalise, can't ya?
215
00:10:46,104 --> 00:10:47,640
That's a huge aerial.
216
00:10:53,403 --> 00:10:56,486
And this... is my backyard.
217
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:03,739
Airbus - Brisbane via Sydney.
218
00:11:03,913 --> 00:11:08,373
How close is the end of the runway?
Oh, just over the fence.
219
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,752
Is that the runway there? Yeah!
220
00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:16,256
There? Yeah.
221
00:11:16,426 --> 00:11:17,791
Beautiful machines.
222
00:11:17,969 --> 00:11:21,837
Sometimes, you think they're
gonna land right on top of ya.
223
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:23,801
Freaks the dogs, though.
224
00:11:23,975 --> 00:11:26,136
Greyhounds.
225
00:11:26,311 --> 00:11:27,676
Large kennel.
226
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:31,017
Originally, it was a cubbyhouse
when the kids were growing up.
227
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:33,898
I was thinking of turning it
into a granny flat.
228
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:35,979
But the council said no. Oh.
229
00:11:36,154 --> 00:11:40,238
Now, here back, all landfill.
Not allowed to build there.
230
00:11:40,408 --> 00:11:43,150
Has the soil been tested?
Oh, yeah.
231
00:11:43,328 --> 00:11:45,193
Nothin' too serious in there.
232
00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:49,864
What do you know about lead?
233
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:56,580
Oh! This is beautiful, darl!
234
00:11:56,758 --> 00:11:58,248
What do you call these things again?
235
00:11:58,426 --> 00:12:00,917
Rissoles.
Everybody cooks rissoles, darl.
236
00:12:01,095 --> 00:12:03,507
Yeah, but it's what
you do with them.
237
00:12:03,681 --> 00:12:05,601
Mum reckons the trick is
you don't use mincemeat.
238
00:12:05,767 --> 00:12:08,349
She gets topside and crushes it.
Is that right, Dale?
239
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:11,261
Well, it shows.
She'll crush silverside too.
240
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:14,977
Dad, guy's selling
a pair of jousting sticks.
241
00:12:15,151 --> 00:12:17,858
Joustin' sticks?
What's he want for "em?
242
00:12:18,029 --> 00:12:19,394
“Make us an offer.”
243
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:21,292
Darl, what do you want
with jousting sticks?
244
00:12:21,324 --> 00:12:24,282
I dunno. But they wouldn't
come up all that often.
245
00:12:24,452 --> 00:12:25,988
Yeah, but they're jousting sticks.
246
00:12:26,162 --> 00:12:27,848
What would anyone want
with jousting sticks?
247
00:12:27,872 --> 00:12:31,535
Well, if you get 'em for half-price,
it's a bargain!
248
00:12:31,709 --> 00:12:33,665
Give him a call? Yeah.
249
00:12:35,838 --> 00:12:38,500
I'll be interested to see
this fella's valuation.
250
00:12:38,675 --> 00:12:41,917
You thinkin' of selling, dad?
No, mate. No.
251
00:12:42,095 --> 00:12:44,507
But it'd be nice to know
what we're sittin' on here.
252
00:12:44,681 --> 00:12:46,217
Clay.
253
00:12:46,391 --> 00:12:48,347
No, mate. The value of the house.
254
00:12:48,518 --> 00:12:50,759
You know... it's odd
because farouk reckoned
255
00:12:50,937 --> 00:12:53,349
he had some bloke around as well.
256
00:12:53,523 --> 00:12:56,230
Must have been doing
the whole street.
257
00:12:56,401 --> 00:12:58,858
Maybe the market's on the move.
Here?!
258
00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:01,064
Steve: Dad! $450.
259
00:13:01,239 --> 00:13:04,731
For joustin' sticks?
Tell him he's dreamin'!
260
00:13:04,909 --> 00:13:06,865
How much is
a jousting stick worth, dad?
261
00:13:07,036 --> 00:13:11,450
Oh, couldn't be more than $250...
Depending on the condition.
262
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:13,535
When do we find out?
263
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:17,043
Well, we should have the official
notice in a couple of weeks.
264
00:13:17,213 --> 00:13:22,799
And just quietly... l reckon we
could be in for a little surprise.
265
00:13:24,178 --> 00:13:26,419
“Compulsorily acquired”?
266
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:30,507
“Compulsorily acquired.”
267
00:13:32,854 --> 00:13:36,062
You know what this means, don't you?
268
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:38,473
They're acquiring it compulsorily!
269
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:40,187
It must be a mistake.
270
00:13:40,361 --> 00:13:43,774
They're gonna take our place
and we don't get a say in it.
271
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:48,282
How can they do that?
I dunno. 70,000 bucks.
272
00:13:48,453 --> 00:13:50,034
Who the hell is airlink?
273
00:13:50,204 --> 00:13:54,072
Dad, guy's selling seven eskies.
Hang on, Steve.
274
00:13:54,250 --> 00:13:56,992
What's up? Is this about Wayne?
275
00:13:57,170 --> 00:14:00,833
No, no. Look...
What do you make of that?
276
00:14:04,218 --> 00:14:07,927
Jesus! This is a kick-out notice.
Mmm.
277
00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:11,510
No, I'll get it. I'll get it.
278
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:18,976
Oh, g"day, farouk.
Hello, mr kerrigan.
279
00:14:19,150 --> 00:14:21,391
Can you read to me something,
please, I get today?
280
00:14:21,569 --> 00:14:25,482
Yeah, sure, mate. But I'm a bit busy
at the moment. Can I come...?
281
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,363
Shit. You've got one too.
Got what?
282
00:14:31,996 --> 00:14:34,703
What the hell is going on?
283
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:36,705
Jesus Christ.
284
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:38,958
Jack!
285
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:49,544
Jack!
286
00:14:49,722 --> 00:14:51,258
It's Darryl, mate!
287
00:14:57,855 --> 00:15:00,597
Someone's gonna take
me house, Darryl.
288
00:15:08,324 --> 00:15:12,192
Mr kerrigan? Yeah. Yeah.
289
00:15:14,831 --> 00:15:20,201
Mr kerrigan - Darryl -
this is a compulsory acquisition.
290
00:15:20,378 --> 00:15:22,710
Yeah.
291
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,963
Mr kerrigan,
the airport is expanding.
292
00:15:26,134 --> 00:15:28,716
They're setting up one of the
largest freight-handling facilities
293
00:15:28,886 --> 00:15:30,251
in the Southern hemisphere,
294
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:32,295
and they need a great deal of space.
295
00:15:32,473 --> 00:15:34,885
Yeah.
296
00:15:35,059 --> 00:15:39,928
And your house... is on that space.
297
00:15:40,106 --> 00:15:42,097
Yeah. Yeah, my house.
298
00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:44,140
That's right. Your house.
299
00:15:44,318 --> 00:15:46,809
That's why
you'll be duly compensated.
300
00:15:46,988 --> 00:15:48,899
No, no. You've missed the point.
301
00:15:49,073 --> 00:15:50,984
I'm not interested in compensation.
302
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:52,524
I don't wanna go.
303
00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:55,739
Under the laws
of compulsory acquisition...
304
00:15:55,913 --> 00:15:59,405
And I don't necessarily agree
with those laws.
305
00:15:59,584 --> 00:16:02,041
I can understand the pain
and trouble...
306
00:16:02,211 --> 00:16:04,827
Would you stop pretending
to be on my side?
307
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:08,832
Alright, mr kerrigan,
I'll state this simply.
308
00:16:09,010 --> 00:16:10,546
There is an ironclad agreement
309
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,440
between federal, state
and local governments
310
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:13,837
and the airports commission.
311
00:16:14,015 --> 00:16:15,551
Yeah?
312
00:16:15,725 --> 00:16:18,137
Well, where's the agreement
with Darryl kerrigan,
313
00:16:18,311 --> 00:16:20,302
3 highview Crescent, coolaroo?
314
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,937
Where's that agreement?
315
00:16:25,193 --> 00:16:27,104
It's not gonna happen.
316
00:17:33,261 --> 00:17:35,593
Dennis: I don't know, Darryl.
This isn't my area.
317
00:17:35,763 --> 00:17:38,926
What do you mean, this is
not your area? This is law.
318
00:17:39,100 --> 00:17:41,637
Darryl, the airport
wants to buy your place.
319
00:17:41,811 --> 00:17:43,722
Mmm.
Airports come under federal law.
320
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:47,480
Federal? I just do small stuff -
conveyancing, magistrates.
321
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:50,392
You defended Wayne.
Yeah, and he got eight years!
322
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:52,106
Yeah, but you did your best!
323
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,568
You can hold your head up high.
He was the one that held up...
324
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:57,901
Darryl, I don't know anything
about this sort of stuff.
325
00:17:58,035 --> 00:18:01,323
But they can't do this!
I dunno - maybe they can.
326
00:18:01,497 --> 00:18:03,112
They can't! Well...
327
00:18:03,291 --> 00:18:06,033
Look, I'll ring around
and see what I can find out.
328
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:08,667
Good on you, Dennis. Hey.
329
00:18:08,838 --> 00:18:10,829
How is Wayne?
330
00:18:11,007 --> 00:18:13,339
Good... yeah, good.
331
00:18:13,509 --> 00:18:14,874
Behaving himself.
332
00:18:15,052 --> 00:18:17,168
Any word? No, no.
333
00:18:17,346 --> 00:18:20,804
They reckon he's still
a couple of years off.
334
00:18:20,975 --> 00:18:23,091
I'll let you know.
335
00:18:23,269 --> 00:18:26,227
But dad was never one
to bring worries home.
336
00:18:26,397 --> 00:18:30,731
Even in the down times, he'd still
tell us funny stories about his day.
337
00:18:30,901 --> 00:18:34,393
It's a head-on between
a mini and a vauxhall!
338
00:18:35,448 --> 00:18:39,111
Dad also had a way of making
everyone feel important.
339
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:41,526
Come on, Dale. Tell 'em!
340
00:18:41,704 --> 00:18:43,615
Go on, tell 'em!
341
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:45,780
Dale dug a hole.
342
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:47,494
Like the time I dug a hole.
343
00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:49,784
Started the patio.
Good on ya, Dale!
344
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:52,795
And he'd compliment mum
every single night on her cooking.
345
00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:56,173
Hello, hello, hello!
How's this, boys? Whoo-hoo!
346
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:58,756
What do you call this? Chicken!
347
00:18:58,929 --> 00:19:01,090
But it's got something
sprinkled on it.
348
00:19:01,265 --> 00:19:04,382
Seasoning. Seasoning!
349
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,267
Looks like everybody's
kicked a goal!
350
00:19:07,438 --> 00:19:09,975
How are our backs feelin'? Mmm?
351
00:19:10,149 --> 00:19:12,435
Steve did get them
ergonometric chairs.
352
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:15,397
And mum had already started
prettying hers up.
353
00:19:15,571 --> 00:19:18,438
Dad placed a great deal of importance
on mealtime.
354
00:19:18,616 --> 00:19:20,527
He had a very strict rule -
355
00:19:20,701 --> 00:19:25,741
when the family starts to eat,
the television is definitely turned down!
356
00:19:25,915 --> 00:19:29,624
But as soon as we finish eating,
it's a different story.
357
00:19:30,670 --> 00:19:32,661
That was great!
358
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:35,875
Dad? It's 7:30.
359
00:19:36,050 --> 00:19:38,917
Alright! Time for some fun!
360
00:19:39,095 --> 00:19:42,383
Dad reckons there's only one show
better than 'hey hey it's Saturday' -
361
00:19:42,556 --> 00:19:44,968
and that's
'the best of hey hey it's Saturday'.
362
00:19:45,142 --> 00:19:49,385
It made dad laugh. And when dad
laughed, his whole body joined in.
363
00:19:49,563 --> 00:19:53,021
And then we would too.
Oh... oh, gong him, red!
364
00:19:54,402 --> 00:19:58,065
It was funny how on the fun nights
part of me got sad
365
00:19:58,239 --> 00:20:00,446
'cause I'd think about
my big brother in prison
366
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:02,356
and wonder what he was doing.
367
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:05,429
Wayne always reckoned
he was doing fine,
368
00:20:05,496 --> 00:20:07,361
but I get the feeling
369
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:10,498
he was missing us more
than he was letting on.
370
00:20:10,668 --> 00:20:13,080
It'll be great when he comes home.
371
00:20:22,263 --> 00:20:24,174
Darryl: You're a ripper, Dennis!
372
00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:27,385
I said, you're a bloody ripper!
373
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:30,597
Yeah, ok.
374
00:20:32,690 --> 00:20:34,931
That's it, sal. All fixed.
375
00:20:35,109 --> 00:20:36,474
What did he say?
376
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:41,442
He said... l have recourse to
the administrative appeals tribunal.
377
00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:44,857
All I gotta do is rock up there, put my
case, and they can go and get stuffed.
378
00:20:45,035 --> 00:20:46,571
Good on you, darl! Yeah.
379
00:20:46,746 --> 00:20:48,862
He still hasn't noticed, mum.
What?
380
00:20:50,124 --> 00:20:53,867
- Oh, it's finished.
- Today.
381
00:20:54,044 --> 00:20:56,751
How is that?
You should open a shop.
382
00:20:56,922 --> 00:21:00,881
Steve: Dad! Some guy's selling
an overhead projector.
383
00:21:01,051 --> 00:21:03,042
Nuh.
384
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:05,586
Hang on, Steve.
What's he askin'?
385
00:21:05,765 --> 00:21:07,130
$150.
386
00:21:07,308 --> 00:21:10,015
Tell him he's dreamin'! Yeah.
387
00:21:10,186 --> 00:21:14,020
What else did Dennis have to say?
Nothin'. It's fixed.
388
00:21:14,190 --> 00:21:16,101
Yeah, but when's the hearing?
Monday.
389
00:21:16,275 --> 00:21:18,482
And I know exactly
what I'm gonna say.
390
00:21:18,652 --> 00:21:20,893
Don't rabbit on, darl.
I don't rabbit on.
391
00:21:21,071 --> 00:21:23,653
When do I rabbit on?
You do rabbit on.
392
00:21:23,824 --> 00:21:25,405
Alright. Alright.
393
00:21:25,576 --> 00:21:27,988
But I'll tell you
what we're gonna do.
394
00:21:28,162 --> 00:21:30,699
Friday, we're gonna pick up
trace and con
395
00:21:30,873 --> 00:21:35,116
and then we're going straight up
to Bonnie doon for the weekend.
396
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:39,537
And we're not worrying about
those clowns for another second.
397
00:21:39,715 --> 00:21:42,081
Dale: Mum!
“The price is right' is on!
398
00:21:42,259 --> 00:21:43,624
Oh, righto.
399
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:46,636
I'd better ring up farouk
and Jack and evonne...
400
00:21:46,806 --> 00:21:50,765
And the others
and tell them what's going on.
401
00:21:57,525 --> 00:22:01,143
Trace and con had
a great honeymoon in Thailand.
402
00:22:01,362 --> 00:22:03,648
We met 'em as they came off
the plane with a trolley,
403
00:22:03,823 --> 00:22:06,314
which was lucky,
'cause they had heaps of stuff.
404
00:22:09,703 --> 00:22:11,910
We couldn't wait to hear
all the stories about the trip.
405
00:22:14,208 --> 00:22:16,950
'Cause one of the good things
about living next to the airport
406
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:19,618
is that it doesn't take long
to walk home.
407
00:22:31,267 --> 00:22:34,805
They had these masks which you put
over your eyes when you're sleeping
408
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:36,344
so you can't see anything.
409
00:22:36,522 --> 00:22:38,583
And they were complimentary.
Yeah, they were for free.
410
00:22:38,607 --> 00:22:40,518
It was the first time
anyone in our family
411
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:42,558
had travelled further
than Alice Springs,
412
00:22:42,736 --> 00:22:44,977
and we just sat glued
listening to all the details.
413
00:22:45,155 --> 00:22:46,520
Really?
414
00:22:46,699 --> 00:22:49,065
We had a choice between fish
and beef Wellington.
415
00:22:49,243 --> 00:22:51,074
Beef Wellington?!
What's that, darl?
416
00:22:51,245 --> 00:22:53,486
It's beef done in pastry.
417
00:22:53,664 --> 00:22:56,622
And it was an absolute credit
to the airline.
418
00:22:56,792 --> 00:22:58,703
Did they show a film? Two.
419
00:22:58,878 --> 00:23:01,119
And they also had...
What were they?
420
00:23:01,297 --> 00:23:03,538
Er... we saw 'twister'.
And they had...
421
00:23:03,716 --> 00:23:06,674
Was it a screen or a telly?
Er, telly.
422
00:23:06,844 --> 00:23:09,802
They had easy listening,
classic gold, contemporary rock...
423
00:23:09,972 --> 00:23:12,554
What was the other one?
The other film.
424
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:14,465
Er... juman... 'Jumanji'.
425
00:23:14,643 --> 00:23:16,554
'Jumanji', yeah.
And with the headphones...
426
00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:18,515
Which one was first? 'Twister'.
427
00:23:18,689 --> 00:23:20,889
You could turn the sound...
How many on the way back?
428
00:23:21,025 --> 00:23:22,765
Dale! You can ask later.
Sorry, trace.
429
00:23:22,943 --> 00:23:27,107
It was so dry in the plane that your
hair dehydrates, doesn't it, con?
430
00:23:27,281 --> 00:23:28,646
Yeah, it loses its moisture.
431
00:23:28,824 --> 00:23:30,405
So interesting.
432
00:23:30,576 --> 00:23:32,783
We could've listened for hours.
433
00:23:32,953 --> 00:23:34,864
But then it was presents time.
434
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:37,997
For you, dad.
It's a samurai sword letter-opener.
435
00:23:38,167 --> 00:23:39,828
Ohhh! That is handcrafted.
436
00:23:40,002 --> 00:23:43,665
Oh, how's that, love?
That is just...
437
00:23:44,965 --> 00:23:47,547
This is going
straight to the poolroom.
438
00:23:47,718 --> 00:23:49,083
You should use it, dad.
439
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:52,128
This I am not even taking
out of the wrapper.
440
00:23:52,306 --> 00:23:57,096
They bought mum a genuine rolex
for 15 bucks off a guy at the beach.
441
00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:59,305
He said he'd mail the warranty later.
442
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,849
I got a necklace with a shark tooth.
They got a walkman for Steve.
443
00:24:04,026 --> 00:24:07,518
'Cause it was Friday, I told trace
I'd take Wayne's present to him.
444
00:24:07,696 --> 00:24:09,061
It was an elephant.
445
00:24:09,239 --> 00:24:11,760
'Cause elephants bring good luck,
especially if the trunks are up,
446
00:24:11,784 --> 00:24:13,320
and this trunk was up.
447
00:24:14,662 --> 00:24:16,118
It really made Wayne's day.
448
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:20,031
She's great, isn't she - trace?
Yeah.
449
00:24:20,209 --> 00:24:21,870
It brings good luck.
450
00:24:22,044 --> 00:24:23,500
She's coming on Monday.
451
00:24:23,671 --> 00:24:25,036
Oh, great!
452
00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:29,457
Yeah? Yeah.
453
00:24:29,635 --> 00:24:32,752
He reckons they can't do it.
Dad'd know.
454
00:24:34,181 --> 00:24:36,137
Going up to Bonnie doon tonight?
Yeah.
455
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:38,014
Maybe. I dunno.
456
00:24:38,185 --> 00:24:40,767
I didn't want to tell Wayne
that we were going to Bonnie doon,
457
00:24:40,938 --> 00:24:43,896
just in case he'd feel bad
that we were going to Bonnie doon.
458
00:24:44,066 --> 00:24:46,728
He liked it there.
We all liked it there.
459
00:24:46,902 --> 00:24:50,520
J we're going
to Bonnie doon... j
460
00:24:50,698 --> 00:24:53,656
we all left soon after,
except for trace and con.
461
00:24:53,826 --> 00:24:55,782
As you could imagine,
they were just married
462
00:24:55,953 --> 00:24:57,443
and wanted some time fo themselves.
463
00:24:57,621 --> 00:24:59,862
So they drove up in their own car.
464
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,998
Dad had a song he'd used to sing
about going to Bonnie doon,
465
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:06,456
only he sang it a lot
and it was a bit repetitive.
466
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:07,995
Darl...
467
00:25:12,636 --> 00:25:14,376
Dad, radar.
468
00:25:23,147 --> 00:25:25,854
How much did that cost?
70 bucks.
469
00:25:26,025 --> 00:25:27,731
Just paid for itself.
470
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:32,820
Dale, why don't you unload the boat,
mate?
471
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:35,606
Steve, don't forget the dog food.
Got it.
472
00:25:40,414 --> 00:25:42,496
Here, boy! Hey!
473
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:47,288
Bloody marvellous to be up here,
isn't it, Dale?
474
00:25:47,463 --> 00:25:48,828
Yeah.
475
00:25:49,006 --> 00:25:50,371
Bonnie doon.
476
00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:52,085
Dad loved Bonnie doon.
477
00:25:52,259 --> 00:25:53,749
How do I describe it?
478
00:25:53,927 --> 00:25:56,464
It is a little town on a big lake.
479
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:58,094
It's a beautiful place,
480
00:25:58,265 --> 00:26:00,756
especially this time of year
when the water levels are down.
481
00:26:00,934 --> 00:26:04,267
Dad could not believe his luck
when he found this place.
482
00:26:04,438 --> 00:26:06,804
It was a bargain
and he couldn't work out why.
483
00:26:06,982 --> 00:26:09,769
It was just a block of land
with a beautiful view.
484
00:26:09,943 --> 00:26:12,525
It took him five years
to build this place.
485
00:26:12,696 --> 00:26:15,358
He bought an unfinished kit home
out of the 'trading post',
486
00:26:15,532 --> 00:26:18,740
built it in the backyard
and towed it up here with his truck.
487
00:26:18,911 --> 00:26:21,823
He was the only bloke he knew
with a holiday home.
488
00:26:21,997 --> 00:26:23,612
Not a caravan - a holiday home.
489
00:26:23,791 --> 00:26:26,282
And he reckoned we were
the luckiest family in the world.
490
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:30,078
Dale, I reckon we're
the luckiest family in the world.
491
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:32,120
He loved the Serenity of the place.
492
00:26:32,299 --> 00:26:33,914
How's the Serenity?
493
00:26:34,093 --> 00:26:36,209
I think he also just loved the word.
494
00:26:36,386 --> 00:26:38,672
So much Serenity.
495
00:26:39,723 --> 00:26:41,179
Let's get to bed.
496
00:26:41,350 --> 00:26:44,934
Tomorrow is gonna be a great day.
Yeah.
497
00:26:48,065 --> 00:26:50,431
If there's one thing dad loved
more than Serenity,
498
00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:53,146
it was a two-stroke engine
on full throttle.
499
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:02,025
Listen to that!
500
00:27:02,204 --> 00:27:03,569
Singing like a bird!
501
00:27:03,747 --> 00:27:05,658
He just loved Bonnie doon.
502
00:27:05,833 --> 00:27:08,415
And he reckoned the faster you went,
the more you saw of it.
503
00:27:08,585 --> 00:27:10,291
Look at that! What?
504
00:27:10,462 --> 00:27:12,248
Back there.
505
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:17,382
But eventually, he'd find a place
he reckoned looked like a good spot.
506
00:27:17,553 --> 00:27:20,044
I reckon this
looks like a good spot.
507
00:27:20,222 --> 00:27:21,712
Dad loved fishing
508
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:24,006
and he really looked after
his equipment.
509
00:27:24,184 --> 00:27:26,800
He said they've only ever made
one good rod.
510
00:27:26,979 --> 00:27:29,265
It's called the 'ugly stick'
by Shakespeare.
511
00:27:29,439 --> 00:27:31,896
It's so strong, you can bend it
right around on itself.
512
00:27:32,067 --> 00:27:35,434
Look at that.
Bends right around on itself.
513
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:37,819
You see that?
514
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:40,606
The lake had trout, redfin and carp.
515
00:27:40,784 --> 00:27:43,366
Carp was not a good eating fish
but it was good catching.
516
00:27:43,537 --> 00:27:45,698
They could grow to quite a size.
517
00:27:45,873 --> 00:27:47,353
Generally they just hooked themselves
518
00:27:47,457 --> 00:27:48,867
but occasionally they were crafty,
519
00:27:49,042 --> 00:27:50,623
just nibbling at the bait.
520
00:27:50,794 --> 00:27:52,159
Got a nibble.
521
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:56,626
Dad reckoned that fishing
was 10% brains and 95% muscle,
522
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,665
and the rest was just good luck.
523
00:28:01,471 --> 00:28:05,885
We all got a few carp that day,
and each of us knew how to muscle fish.
524
00:28:10,397 --> 00:28:13,309
Where's con? Down the shops.
525
00:28:13,483 --> 00:28:15,565
You and con talked about kids yet?
526
00:28:15,736 --> 00:28:18,398
Yeah - con wants to start straightaway.
527
00:28:18,572 --> 00:28:20,858
But, you know, I've got a career.
Of course.
528
00:28:21,033 --> 00:28:23,945
I said, “I'm not having kids
until I'm at least 23.”
529
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,235
Times have changed.
530
00:28:40,469 --> 00:28:41,834
Gail had a boy.
531
00:28:42,012 --> 00:28:44,378
Was he a whopper?
Mmm, 10 pounds.
532
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:46,036
They're gonna be a big, beefy family.
533
00:28:46,141 --> 00:28:50,601
Tyler Jay. Even the birth notice
was big - stork and everything.
534
00:28:50,771 --> 00:28:52,307
Shannon was nine pounds. Mmm.
535
00:28:52,481 --> 00:28:54,642
What did you make, then?
I knitted a pair of bootees.
536
00:28:54,816 --> 00:28:56,181
You always need bootees.
537
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,067
I reckon you should make fake flowers.
Oh, yeah.
538
00:28:59,238 --> 00:29:01,069
Jenny makes fake flowers. Jenny?
539
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,605
Yeah. Jenny Jenny?
540
00:29:02,783 --> 00:29:04,148
No, microwave Jenny.
541
00:29:04,326 --> 00:29:06,863
She reckons the trick is
to make them real but not too real,
542
00:29:07,037 --> 00:29:09,323
just real enough
to know that they're fake.
543
00:29:09,498 --> 00:29:12,160
I'd like to do pottery.
Wow! On a wheel?
544
00:29:12,334 --> 00:29:14,791
Yeah. I just love mugs.
545
00:29:14,962 --> 00:29:17,453
Yeah, I'd like to make my own mugs.
546
00:29:17,631 --> 00:29:20,168
Mum... yeah?
547
00:29:20,342 --> 00:29:22,003
What's the matter? Nothing.
548
00:29:22,177 --> 00:29:25,010
You worried about the house? No.
549
00:29:25,180 --> 00:29:29,389
Dad said everything's gonna be ok.
Of course it is, darl.
550
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:37,021
We ended up with four carp
and one redfin -
551
00:29:37,192 --> 00:29:38,557
a reasonable day's fishing
552
00:29:38,735 --> 00:29:42,068
considering we had to get back earlier
when coco got seasick.
553
00:29:42,239 --> 00:29:44,730
Steve wasn't looking
all that flash either.
554
00:29:50,289 --> 00:29:51,904
Keep it still, trace.
555
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,825
Disciplined, isn't he, sal?
556
00:29:59,047 --> 00:30:02,665
Here are you and I relaxing, having
a beer, and he's still training.
557
00:30:02,843 --> 00:30:05,129
Yeah, he just loves that sport.
558
00:30:05,304 --> 00:30:07,010
You've gotta have
a passion for something.
559
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:08,295
Yeah.
560
00:30:12,561 --> 00:30:14,097
How's the Serenity?
561
00:30:18,025 --> 00:30:21,108
Dad! Where do you want me to put
the chicken Coop?
562
00:30:21,278 --> 00:30:22,893
Up the back, Steve.
563
00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:30,033
45 bucks. You couldn't buy
the materials for that.
564
00:30:30,203 --> 00:30:32,785
What do you want
with a chicken Coop?
565
00:30:32,956 --> 00:30:38,326
And what do we want with a kit home?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
566
00:30:40,130 --> 00:30:42,837
Now give me a kiss,
you big hunk of a man.
567
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:17,538
Mmm!
568
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:19,700
Marvellous, ain't it?
569
00:31:19,878 --> 00:31:22,210
The lake, the kids...
570
00:31:25,759 --> 00:31:28,171
Oh, look at the dogs!
571
00:31:28,345 --> 00:31:29,881
Don't they love it?
572
00:31:33,058 --> 00:31:35,174
Oh, smell that!
573
00:31:36,353 --> 00:31:38,719
Two-stroke. Yep.
574
00:31:40,857 --> 00:31:43,064
Pity Wayne can't be here.
575
00:31:43,235 --> 00:31:46,693
Darl...
No, no, I could've done better.
576
00:31:48,407 --> 00:31:51,820
Well! Let's start cooking
this feast.
577
00:31:51,993 --> 00:31:54,234
Who ordered medium-rare?
Steve: Me.
578
00:31:54,413 --> 00:31:55,778
Good stuff.
579
00:31:55,956 --> 00:31:59,744
Check that, Steve.
It could be a little underdone.
580
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:02,876
I bet they don't have places
like this in Thailand, con.
581
00:32:03,046 --> 00:32:04,411
No, mr kerrigan.
582
00:32:04,589 --> 00:32:07,376
Hey, hey, hey! Darryl now, mate.
583
00:32:07,551 --> 00:32:09,382
Sorry... Darryl.
584
00:32:09,553 --> 00:32:11,168
It's a good place, though.
585
00:32:11,346 --> 00:32:13,587
Yeah, yeah. I'm curious.
586
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:17,678
Now, I know it's unfair to compare
any place to Bonnie doon,
587
00:32:17,853 --> 00:32:20,845
but why would I want to go there
instead of here?
588
00:32:21,022 --> 00:32:23,434
It's for young people, dad.
Yeah, I know that, trace.
589
00:32:23,608 --> 00:32:24,973
It's the culture, Darryl.
590
00:32:25,152 --> 00:32:27,313
The place is full of culture.
Chockers.
591
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:28,977
Oh, yeah.
Something for everyone.
592
00:32:29,156 --> 00:32:31,738
What was that movie, the one on...
Dale!
593
00:32:31,908 --> 00:32:33,444
There were so many stories.
594
00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:36,906
The hotel trace and I were staying in,
they had this one channel -
595
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,036
kickboxing, 24 hours a day.
596
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:42,620
It was just so interesting
to hear about another country.
597
00:32:42,794 --> 00:32:45,706
Meals were $5, mum -
the most beautiful satays.
598
00:32:45,881 --> 00:32:47,246
What's that, darl?
599
00:32:47,424 --> 00:32:50,382
Meat on a skewer
with peanut sauce and grilled.
600
00:32:50,552 --> 00:32:52,884
And the stories went on and on
all night.
601
00:32:53,054 --> 00:32:56,387
The value for money
is absolutely second to none.
602
00:32:56,558 --> 00:32:59,140
One of the other Sony walkmans...
With presets?
603
00:32:59,311 --> 00:33:03,554
Yeah, presets and megabass -
$85 Australian.
604
00:33:03,732 --> 00:33:05,097
Wow!
605
00:33:05,275 --> 00:33:06,685
Bargain? Shit yeah!
606
00:33:06,860 --> 00:33:10,273
But someone like you, Steve,
could've got him down even further.
607
00:33:10,447 --> 00:33:13,234
I can't wait to go to Bangkok.
608
00:33:13,408 --> 00:33:16,946
It's great to have you two back.
It's great to be back.
609
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,906
Great to be up here.
610
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,743
They haven't got a place like this
in Bangkok.
611
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:25,746
How's the Serenity?
612
00:33:28,089 --> 00:33:29,454
Not a sound.
613
00:33:40,227 --> 00:33:43,185
On Monday morning,
dad was chomping at the bit.
614
00:33:43,355 --> 00:33:46,313
Feeling good, sal.
Good on you, darl.
615
00:33:46,483 --> 00:33:48,019
Steve, could you move the camira?
616
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:51,481
I need to get the torana out
so I can get to the commodore.
617
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:54,258
I'll have to get the keys to the cortina.
I'm gonna move that camira.
618
00:33:54,282 --> 00:33:55,818
Watch the boat, mate. Yeah.
619
00:33:55,992 --> 00:33:57,857
Know why I'm feeling good, sal?
620
00:33:58,036 --> 00:33:59,572
Why? I'll tell you why.
621
00:33:59,746 --> 00:34:02,738
Because this is an example
of the individual,
622
00:34:02,916 --> 00:34:04,702
of how the individual,
if he has the guts
623
00:34:04,876 --> 00:34:06,787
to stand up and shove it right up
those people
624
00:34:06,962 --> 00:34:09,169
who think they can
stand on top of you,
625
00:34:09,339 --> 00:34:11,625
the people who think they
can do that, that's why.
626
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:19,671
Darryl: What do you mean,
what's my plea?
627
00:34:19,849 --> 00:34:21,510
What is the case you are putting?
628
00:34:21,685 --> 00:34:25,303
I told you. You just can't walk in
and take a man's house.
629
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,347
Mr kerrigan, are you disputing
the amount of compensation?
630
00:34:28,525 --> 00:34:30,516
I'm not interested in compensation.
631
00:34:30,694 --> 00:34:33,436
I'm saying that you can't
kick me out.
632
00:34:34,489 --> 00:34:37,026
Very well. What is your argument?
633
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,361
That's it. That's my argument.
634
00:34:39,536 --> 00:34:41,447
You can't... kick me out.
635
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:45,989
And on what... law
do you base that argument?
636
00:34:46,167 --> 00:34:47,907
The law of bloody common sense!
637
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:51,419
Mr kerrigan! I must ask you
to restrain yourself.
638
00:34:51,590 --> 00:34:53,080
Yeah, alright.
639
00:34:53,258 --> 00:34:57,422
Mr kerrigan, this is the
administrative appeals tribunal.
640
00:34:57,596 --> 00:34:59,757
You are an applicant.
641
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:02,468
You need to show...
I need to show?!
642
00:35:02,642 --> 00:35:04,974
So it's up to me, is it?
643
00:35:05,145 --> 00:35:08,763
Mr kerrigan, airlink,
as a federal authority,
644
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:11,647
has the right to purchase
property compulsorily.
645
00:35:11,818 --> 00:35:16,562
As far as I can see, you have offered
no evidence to refute that right.
646
00:35:16,740 --> 00:35:18,150
No evidence?!
647
00:35:18,325 --> 00:35:20,657
It's not a house, it's a home.
648
00:35:20,827 --> 00:35:23,318
A man's home is his castle.
649
00:35:23,496 --> 00:35:27,785
I mean, it's... it's... it's Jack's castle,
it's fa-farouk's castle..
650
00:35:27,959 --> 00:35:30,871
You just can't walk in
and steal our home.
651
00:35:31,046 --> 00:35:33,788
You will be compensated.
I don't want to be compensated!
652
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:36,047
You can't buy what I've got.
653
00:35:37,761 --> 00:35:41,345
Mr kerrigan, I am rapidly
running out of Patience.
654
00:35:41,514 --> 00:35:45,302
You're running out of...
What is your case in law?
655
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:48,601
Well, ok, um...
656
00:35:48,772 --> 00:35:52,685
The law is supposed to be
about justice.
657
00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:54,224
No, fairness.
658
00:35:54,402 --> 00:35:59,146
And I know that sometimes
what is right and fair is not clear-cut.
659
00:35:59,324 --> 00:36:00,689
It's a bit iffy.
660
00:36:00,867 --> 00:36:02,823
But this is not iffy.
661
00:36:02,994 --> 00:36:04,950
I mean, this is as clear as day.
662
00:36:05,121 --> 00:36:10,366
It is right and fair that a family
be allowed to live in its own house.
663
00:36:10,543 --> 00:36:12,079
That is justice.
664
00:36:14,589 --> 00:36:16,125
I rest my case.
665
00:36:19,636 --> 00:36:21,467
Dad reckoned he'd nailed it.
666
00:36:21,638 --> 00:36:23,174
Farouk agreed.
667
00:36:25,975 --> 00:36:27,966
But dad was wrong.
668
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:31,560
I can't believe I lost.
669
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:33,687
I've let you down.
670
00:36:33,858 --> 00:36:36,725
No, no, mr kerrigan.
You do good job.
671
00:36:36,903 --> 00:36:38,814
Please, farouk, call me Darryl.
672
00:36:38,988 --> 00:36:40,353
Ok, mr Darryl.
673
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:43,990
But, you know, I never heard
that one you say before.
674
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,368
“A man's home is his castle”?
That's an old saying.
675
00:36:47,539 --> 00:36:48,904
No, no, other one.
676
00:36:49,082 --> 00:36:51,038
“Is not house, is home.”
677
00:36:52,252 --> 00:36:54,038
Farouk, I lost.
678
00:36:55,088 --> 00:36:56,669
I know, mr Darryl.
679
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,957
Farouk,
how much are they paying you?
680
00:37:00,135 --> 00:37:01,875
$65,000.
681
00:37:02,053 --> 00:37:03,884
For your place? Yes.
682
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:07,593
They say the plane,
they fly overhead, drop the value.
683
00:37:07,767 --> 00:37:11,225
I don't care. In Beirut,
plane fly overhead, drop bomb.
684
00:37:11,396 --> 00:37:13,182
I like this plane.
685
00:37:13,356 --> 00:37:15,142
What are we gonna do, Darryl?
686
00:37:16,192 --> 00:37:18,057
I dunno, Jack.
687
00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:22,024
This is the only place I can afford.
I don't want to move.
688
00:37:22,198 --> 00:37:24,063
See what they're doing, sal?
689
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:26,233
Mmm.
690
00:37:26,411 --> 00:37:28,447
How long've you lived here, Jack?
691
00:37:28,621 --> 00:37:29,986
Three years.
692
00:37:30,165 --> 00:37:31,996
No, in the area.
693
00:37:32,167 --> 00:37:33,623
How long've you lived around here?
694
00:37:33,793 --> 00:37:35,954
57 years.
695
00:37:37,005 --> 00:37:38,870
57 years.
696
00:37:39,966 --> 00:37:43,129
And they're gonna kick you out
on your arse.
697
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:46,128
Well, bugger 'em!
698
00:37:46,306 --> 00:37:48,297
I'm not giving up, Jack.
699
00:37:48,475 --> 00:37:50,966
If they wanna play things
by the law, fine.
700
00:37:51,144 --> 00:37:52,725
We'll play by the law.
701
00:37:52,896 --> 00:37:55,854
But they're not
the only big guns in town.
702
00:37:56,024 --> 00:38:00,233
If it's gonna be lawyers, I'm gonna
hit "em with the big artillery.
703
00:38:00,403 --> 00:38:04,521
Dennis: Hang on, Darryl.
Jesus, these fuckin' photocopiers.
704
00:38:04,699 --> 00:38:07,657
What the fuck is that?!
I cleared tray 3!
705
00:38:07,827 --> 00:38:09,943
Why don't you get your girl
to do that for you?
706
00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:13,579
She's not here on mondays.
She does Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.
707
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:16,662
'F3'- what the fuck is that?
708
00:38:16,836 --> 00:38:18,451
Dennis, how'd you go?
709
00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:21,246
No good. I spoke to
every barrister I know.
710
00:38:21,424 --> 00:38:23,130
No-one wants to touch it.
711
00:38:23,301 --> 00:38:25,462
Alright, you do it.
712
00:38:25,637 --> 00:38:27,878
I told you, Darryl,
I'm not qualified.
713
00:38:28,056 --> 00:38:29,546
You're not qualified?!
714
00:38:29,724 --> 00:38:31,635
Oh-ho, now I've heard everything!
715
00:38:31,810 --> 00:38:33,596
What do you mean
you're not qualified?
716
00:38:33,770 --> 00:38:36,011
I mean I'm not in the big time.
717
00:38:36,189 --> 00:38:38,100
You have lost faith
in yourself, Dennis.
718
00:38:38,274 --> 00:38:40,856
Darryl... you have lost faith.
719
00:38:41,027 --> 00:38:43,564
Darryl, it's over my head.
720
00:38:43,738 --> 00:38:45,319
It's over your head too.
721
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:47,776
Over my head?
722
00:38:47,951 --> 00:38:49,316
Dennis... Darryl...
723
00:38:49,494 --> 00:38:52,486
Have you heard of the Barlow group?
No.
724
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:54,575
It's basically
a big investment company
725
00:38:54,749 --> 00:38:58,116
controlled by three blokes
worth about a half a billion each.
726
00:38:58,294 --> 00:39:00,706
Well, the Barlow group is airlink.
727
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,996
I thought
airlink was the government.
728
00:39:03,174 --> 00:39:04,755
It's a government authority.
729
00:39:04,926 --> 00:39:06,837
But all the money's
coming from Barlow.
730
00:39:07,011 --> 00:39:09,673
It's a way of privatising
without privatising.
731
00:39:09,848 --> 00:39:11,884
Anyway, it's a big, big thing.
732
00:39:12,058 --> 00:39:15,095
Every level of government.
Huge investment.
733
00:39:16,187 --> 00:39:17,723
Alright, fine. So they're big.
734
00:39:17,897 --> 00:39:20,138
But why do they want my house?
735
00:39:20,316 --> 00:39:23,683
Why don't they just fill in
the old quarry and build it there?
736
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:26,820
I don't know, maybe it's just cheaper
to pull down more houses.
737
00:39:26,990 --> 00:39:28,526
So we fight "em.
738
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,407
Darryl... they want
this thing to work.
739
00:39:31,578 --> 00:39:33,409
They're gonna get their way.
740
00:39:33,580 --> 00:39:36,538
And you know why people
like that get their way?
741
00:39:36,708 --> 00:39:39,666
Because people like us
don't stand up to 'em.
742
00:39:39,836 --> 00:39:42,373
Now, they've still gotta play
by the rules.
743
00:39:42,547 --> 00:39:44,913
Darryl, they write the rules.
744
00:39:45,091 --> 00:39:46,501
They own the game.
745
00:39:46,676 --> 00:39:48,632
Fuck, Dennis, it's my fucking house!
746
00:39:48,803 --> 00:39:50,885
You're not gonna run scared on me?
747
00:39:52,015 --> 00:39:54,381
I can't do this by myself.
748
00:39:55,476 --> 00:39:56,841
Alright, mate.
749
00:39:57,020 --> 00:39:59,932
Let me think about it.
750
00:40:04,903 --> 00:40:06,564
Con's working late tonight.
751
00:40:06,738 --> 00:40:08,103
He's just so busy.
752
00:40:08,281 --> 00:40:11,193
Cannot believe
this postcard arrived today.
753
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:13,733
Thanks for dropping in.
754
00:40:14,787 --> 00:40:17,153
How's he treating my Princess?
Dad!
755
00:40:18,207 --> 00:40:19,743
Alright, alright.
756
00:40:21,127 --> 00:40:23,709
“We saw some amazing things.”
757
00:40:24,797 --> 00:40:27,288
Now, that is a bloody big statue.
758
00:40:27,467 --> 00:40:30,425
It's all made of gold.
Is that so? Hmm!
759
00:40:32,722 --> 00:40:34,633
This bloke's gonna win the cars.
760
00:40:34,807 --> 00:40:37,298
How's the salon? Good.
761
00:40:38,978 --> 00:40:40,343
Now, look at these models.
762
00:40:40,521 --> 00:40:41,886
Now, they've got ripper bodies
763
00:40:42,065 --> 00:40:45,023
but they let themselves down
in the hair department.
764
00:40:45,193 --> 00:40:48,811
You oughta contact channel nine,
get a contract with them.
765
00:40:48,988 --> 00:40:50,899
Dad, it doesn't work like that.
766
00:40:51,074 --> 00:40:53,315
Look at them and look at you.
767
00:40:53,493 --> 00:40:55,575
Now, that is a head of hair.
768
00:40:55,745 --> 00:40:57,110
Just beautiful.
769
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:58,994
Thanks, dad.
770
00:40:59,165 --> 00:41:00,701
I'm only statin' the truth.
771
00:41:00,875 --> 00:41:03,412
Dad, what's a pulpit?
772
00:41:03,586 --> 00:41:06,328
Where the minister
gives his sermon from.
773
00:41:06,506 --> 00:41:07,871
How much?
774
00:41:08,049 --> 00:41:09,630
$800.
775
00:41:09,801 --> 00:41:11,337
Dreamin'.
776
00:41:13,096 --> 00:41:15,633
Actually, I know how
to get you on there.
777
00:41:15,807 --> 00:41:18,344
Send in a photo of you
for the home viewer.
778
00:41:18,518 --> 00:41:19,883
Dad, if you dare...
779
00:41:20,061 --> 00:41:22,894
I've got quite a few lying around.
Dad!
780
00:41:23,064 --> 00:41:26,648
Actually, I think I've got one
taken when you were two
781
00:41:26,818 --> 00:41:28,729
and you didn't have any clothes on.
782
00:41:28,903 --> 00:41:31,189
Dad! Don't you...
783
00:41:31,364 --> 00:41:34,026
Quite a few to choose from. No!
784
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,782
No! Don't, dad!
785
00:41:38,913 --> 00:41:41,746
That night, I thought of Wayne again.
786
00:41:41,916 --> 00:41:43,452
I wondered what he was doing
787
00:41:43,626 --> 00:41:45,396
and whether the elephant's trunk
was still up,
788
00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:47,081
'cause that brings good luck.
789
00:42:01,310 --> 00:42:02,675
So, in conclusion,
790
00:42:02,854 --> 00:42:06,722
my client will be appealing
the decision to the federal court
791
00:42:06,899 --> 00:42:10,858
and, as an interim,
will be seeking an injunction...
792
00:42:11,988 --> 00:42:14,946
Er, to stop any further action
in this matter.
793
00:42:15,116 --> 00:42:17,402
Sincerely, Dennis denuto.
794
00:42:51,527 --> 00:42:54,064
Receptionist: Hammersley
& laycock. Can I help you?
795
00:42:54,238 --> 00:42:55,648
Putting you through now.
796
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,698
He can't come to the phone, farouk.
He's up in the ceiling.
797
00:43:05,875 --> 00:43:09,868
Righto, righto. I'll get him to give
you a call as soon as he comes down.
798
00:43:10,046 --> 00:43:13,379
Ok. Oh, give my love to taboula.
799
00:43:13,549 --> 00:43:14,664
'Bye.
800
00:43:14,842 --> 00:43:17,709
Darryl: Shit! Steve!
801
00:43:17,887 --> 00:43:19,718
Yeah?
802
00:43:19,889 --> 00:43:21,754
Beams aren't supportin'.
803
00:43:21,933 --> 00:43:24,766
I reckon we put a hold
on the mezzanine.
804
00:43:24,936 --> 00:43:26,301
Yeah, alright.
805
00:43:26,479 --> 00:43:29,437
But I'll have to give that guy
a call about the spiral staircase,
806
00:43:29,607 --> 00:43:31,188
'cause he's holdin' it for us.
807
00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:34,192
Darl, can you give farouk a ring?
Yeah.
808
00:43:34,362 --> 00:43:36,398
Where's dad? Up in the roof.
809
00:43:36,572 --> 00:43:39,154
Dad. Yeah, mate?
810
00:43:39,325 --> 00:43:41,407
I dug another hole.
811
00:43:42,578 --> 00:43:44,239
It's filling with water.
812
00:43:59,679 --> 00:44:01,920
You are fuckin' kidding me!
813
00:44:02,098 --> 00:44:04,931
I cleared that tray
three fuckin' times!
814
00:44:05,101 --> 00:44:06,637
Mr denuto. Yeah?
815
00:44:06,811 --> 00:44:10,269
Ron Graham, hammersley & laycock.
Got your note during the week.
816
00:44:10,439 --> 00:44:15,058
Oh, yeah... yeah. Um... sit down.
817
00:44:19,407 --> 00:44:21,819
Now, the kerrigan matter.
818
00:44:23,744 --> 00:44:26,702
Well, we're gonna
be taking it... further.
819
00:44:26,873 --> 00:44:28,409
Yes, we totally understand
820
00:44:28,583 --> 00:44:30,623
and we're here on behalf
of our client to apologise.
821
00:44:30,751 --> 00:44:33,288
We've made a mistake. You have?
822
00:44:33,462 --> 00:44:36,420
Yes, it appears that the house
belonging to mr kerrigan
823
00:44:36,591 --> 00:44:38,377
was grossly undervalued by mistake
824
00:44:38,551 --> 00:44:40,917
and our client would like
to rectify the situation.
825
00:44:41,095 --> 00:44:43,051
Well, what are you offering?
826
00:44:43,222 --> 00:44:46,089
Another $25,000. Whoa.
827
00:44:46,267 --> 00:44:47,632
As a separate cash cheque.
828
00:44:47,810 --> 00:44:54,306
You know, Darryl - my client -
is disputing the compulsory purchase.
829
00:44:54,483 --> 00:44:56,394
Yes, though,
with the correct valuation,
830
00:44:56,569 --> 00:44:59,561
we thought this may
put the dispute to rest.
831
00:45:00,615 --> 00:45:02,151
What if it doesn't?
832
00:45:03,201 --> 00:45:04,566
If I were you,
833
00:45:04,744 --> 00:45:08,032
I would advise mr kerrigan
against taking any further action.
834
00:45:08,206 --> 00:45:10,117
This is
a multi-billion-dollar project.
835
00:45:10,291 --> 00:45:12,532
It's been in planning
for a long time.
836
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:16,123
If this action were to
delay or spoil the plans,
837
00:45:16,297 --> 00:45:21,166
well, the understandable anger
could well spill into something else.
838
00:45:21,344 --> 00:45:23,050
Are you threatening?
839
00:45:23,221 --> 00:45:25,382
Hang on, I just came in here,
840
00:45:25,556 --> 00:45:28,172
apologised and increased
the offer by $25,000.
841
00:45:28,351 --> 00:45:29,386
I'm sorry, yeah.
842
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,926
And that offer
should be put to mr kerrigan
843
00:45:32,104 --> 00:45:34,720
with your strongest
possible recommendation.
844
00:45:37,944 --> 00:45:40,526
Tell 'em to get stuffed.
845
00:45:40,696 --> 00:45:43,358
It's $25,000, Darryl!
846
00:45:43,532 --> 00:45:44,942
Don't you get this, Dennis?
847
00:45:45,117 --> 00:45:47,529
Darryl, they're offering
25 grand extra.
848
00:45:47,703 --> 00:45:49,659
Dennis, this is not about money!
849
00:45:49,830 --> 00:45:52,788
I am not leavin' the house.
Tell "em I'm not movin'.
850
00:45:52,959 --> 00:45:54,324
They're not gonna be happy.
851
00:45:54,502 --> 00:45:55,867
Who cares?
852
00:45:56,045 --> 00:45:58,127
I mean, they're gonna
be really unhappy.
853
00:45:59,215 --> 00:46:01,126
So, what are you tellin' me, Dennis?
854
00:46:01,300 --> 00:46:02,665
Nothin', Darryl.
855
00:46:02,843 --> 00:46:05,129
Did they threaten you?
Not me, really.
856
00:46:05,304 --> 00:46:07,010
They threatened me?
Not exactly...
857
00:46:07,181 --> 00:46:09,388
They fuckin' well threatened me?!
858
00:46:09,558 --> 00:46:10,923
They just said...
859
00:46:11,102 --> 00:46:13,138
I want you to get on
that phone right now
860
00:46:13,312 --> 00:46:15,769
and tell 'em where
they can shove their 25 grand.
861
00:46:15,940 --> 00:46:20,559
Darryl, 'them' is the Barlow group -
people used to getting their way.
862
00:46:20,736 --> 00:46:22,272
Now, they want to expand the airport
863
00:46:22,446 --> 00:46:25,563
and there's one bloke
who's a pain in the arse!
864
00:46:25,741 --> 00:46:28,483
Tell 'em to get stuffed.
865
00:46:39,797 --> 00:46:41,207
More, darlin'?
866
00:46:41,382 --> 00:46:44,419
Oh, no. No, love.
That was beautiful.
867
00:46:44,593 --> 00:46:45,958
What do you call that?
868
00:46:46,137 --> 00:46:47,593
Ice-cream.
869
00:46:47,763 --> 00:46:50,379
Yeah, but... but what
you've done with it.
870
00:46:50,558 --> 00:46:52,014
What'd you do to it?
871
00:46:52,184 --> 00:46:54,300
Scooped it out of the punnet.
872
00:46:55,855 --> 00:46:57,766
Did I do the right thing?
873
00:46:57,940 --> 00:47:00,477
Oh, yeah, sweetheart.
You did the right thing.
874
00:47:00,651 --> 00:47:02,437
25 grand, dad.
875
00:47:02,611 --> 00:47:06,229
Yeah, but not that way, Steve.
We're not gonna take the money.
876
00:47:10,036 --> 00:47:12,072
I wanna tell you a story.
Oh, good.
877
00:47:12,246 --> 00:47:14,328
About how your father and I met.
878
00:47:14,498 --> 00:47:17,080
I know this one.
Not all of it, Dale.
879
00:47:17,251 --> 00:47:22,041
You see, I used to go out
with a very handsome young man -
880
00:47:22,214 --> 00:47:23,579
well-to-do -
881
00:47:23,758 --> 00:47:25,123
called Bob Thompson.
882
00:47:25,301 --> 00:47:28,418
Big Bob Thompson.
What's he doin' now, eh?
883
00:47:28,596 --> 00:47:30,177
Puttin' in fence posts in Adelaide.
884
00:47:30,348 --> 00:47:32,930
He runs a construction company.
So he says.
885
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:36,058
Well, anyway, one night
he took me to the greyhounds.
886
00:47:36,228 --> 00:47:38,435
He put on a real show.
We ate at the carvery...
887
00:47:38,606 --> 00:47:39,686
What did you have?
888
00:47:39,857 --> 00:47:42,690
Ah... pork. Ohhhh!
889
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:44,441
Anyway, we had wine, champagne,
890
00:47:44,612 --> 00:47:47,524
he put on all my bets and he was
just sweeping me off my feet.
891
00:47:47,698 --> 00:47:50,405
And I wouldn't have been at all surprised
if he popped the question.
892
00:47:50,576 --> 00:47:53,739
Well, anyway, later on,
I don't know what it was,
893
00:47:53,913 --> 00:47:57,906
but out of the corner of my eye,
I spotted this lanky bloke
894
00:47:58,084 --> 00:48:00,370
struggling with one of his greyhounds.
895
00:48:00,544 --> 00:48:02,660
Red rocket. That's you, dad.
896
00:48:02,838 --> 00:48:05,420
Now, Bob, he went off to talk
to one of the stewards
897
00:48:05,591 --> 00:48:09,209
and this young fella, he comes right
up to me and starts chattin' to me.
898
00:48:09,387 --> 00:48:13,721
And he asks me out.
And I said, “well, I'm on a date.”
899
00:48:13,891 --> 00:48:18,305
Well, he backed right off.
900
00:48:18,479 --> 00:48:23,098
He said he wasn't cuttin' anyone's lunch
and he wished me goodnight.
901
00:48:23,275 --> 00:48:27,393
And I thought,
“that man has principles.”
902
00:48:27,571 --> 00:48:32,486
And from that day on,
I've only had eyes for one man.
903
00:48:32,660 --> 00:48:34,742
Hook, line and sinker.
904
00:48:35,788 --> 00:48:39,246
And that's what I love about him -
his principles.
905
00:48:39,417 --> 00:48:41,408
So we're not
takin' the money, Steve.
906
00:48:43,129 --> 00:48:45,586
No, hang on. I'll get it.
907
00:48:47,633 --> 00:48:49,169
What was the carvery like?
908
00:48:53,264 --> 00:48:54,629
Yeah?
909
00:48:54,807 --> 00:48:56,763
Mr kerrigan? Yeah. What?
910
00:48:56,934 --> 00:48:58,765
I've got a message to pass on.
From who?
911
00:48:58,936 --> 00:49:01,348
I'm just passing on a message.
912
00:49:01,522 --> 00:49:03,522
You from the council?
No, I'm not from the council.
913
00:49:03,607 --> 00:49:05,063
The company?
914
00:49:05,234 --> 00:49:06,914
I'm just passing on a message,
mr kerrigan.
915
00:49:06,986 --> 00:49:08,942
They always send someone different,
don't they?
916
00:49:09,113 --> 00:49:12,071
The message is,
“take the offer and shut up.”
917
00:49:12,241 --> 00:49:13,606
Understood?
918
00:49:13,784 --> 00:49:16,025
Are you threatenin' me?
Just passing on a message.
919
00:49:16,203 --> 00:49:17,568
Fuck off, you clown!
Mr kerrigan...
920
00:49:17,746 --> 00:49:19,611
Fuck off!
Better watch your mouth, pal.
921
00:49:19,790 --> 00:49:21,701
You heard my dad. Now, fuck off!
922
00:49:21,876 --> 00:49:23,286
Whoa, whoa.
923
00:49:23,461 --> 00:49:26,123
Fine. I just tried to tell ya.
924
00:49:30,176 --> 00:49:32,792
What the fuck
do ya think you're doin'?!
925
00:49:32,970 --> 00:49:36,258
You know what I said after Wayne -
no more guns in the house!
926
00:49:36,432 --> 00:49:37,797
Yeah, but he was threatenin' you.
927
00:49:39,727 --> 00:49:41,718
What did you pay for it? $180.
928
00:49:41,896 --> 00:49:44,638
What was he askin'? $250.
929
00:49:44,815 --> 00:49:47,852
He was dreamin'. Yeah.
930
00:49:48,027 --> 00:49:49,938
Get rid of it.
931
00:49:52,573 --> 00:49:55,030
Darryl: Sell it.
932
00:50:14,386 --> 00:50:16,468
Pricks!
933
00:50:19,266 --> 00:50:22,258
Alright. Alright!
934
00:50:23,312 --> 00:50:26,099
I might pass on a message of my own.
935
00:50:39,370 --> 00:50:41,406
Don't bullshit me, pal!
936
00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:43,491
I know why you want
highview Crescent.
937
00:50:43,666 --> 00:50:47,158
It's because you're too much of
a tight-arse to fill in the quarry!
938
00:50:47,336 --> 00:50:50,624
It's easier to knock down people's
houses than it is to fill in a hole!
939
00:50:50,798 --> 00:50:52,288
What do you say to that?!
940
00:50:52,466 --> 00:50:54,878
Man: Get off my property
or I'll call the police.
941
00:50:55,052 --> 00:50:58,544
Fuck the police! You're the arsehole
that had my car smashed.
942
00:50:58,722 --> 00:51:00,633
Settle down, mate! Settle down!
943
00:51:00,808 --> 00:51:03,424
That's just what he wants us to do.
944
00:51:03,602 --> 00:51:07,390
Ok? Now, just keep our cool.
945
00:51:07,565 --> 00:51:10,102
We don't want to do anything stupid.
946
00:51:39,763 --> 00:51:41,173
Darryl John kerrigan?
947
00:51:41,348 --> 00:51:43,179
You know who I am, Mick.
948
00:51:43,350 --> 00:51:45,887
Darryl John kerrigan?
Yes, officer.
949
00:51:46,061 --> 00:51:49,428
Were you in lancell road, toorak,
at approximately 2:30 this morning?
950
00:51:49,607 --> 00:51:50,972
Nuh.
951
00:51:51,150 --> 00:51:53,545
Is there anyone who can verify
your whereabouts at that hour?
952
00:51:53,569 --> 00:51:57,482
Yeah, yeah. Everyone in this house -
while I've still got it.
953
00:51:57,656 --> 00:51:59,738
Daz, I know you did it.
954
00:51:59,908 --> 00:52:02,194
I told you, mate,
I don't know anything...
955
00:52:02,369 --> 00:52:05,827
Shut up. I'm not gonna book you.
This is just a warnin'.
956
00:52:05,998 --> 00:52:07,363
I know what's goin' on.
957
00:52:07,541 --> 00:52:09,873
No-one wants to see you get
the rough end of the stick,
958
00:52:10,044 --> 00:52:11,563
but you're gonna
have to watch yourself
959
00:52:11,587 --> 00:52:13,627
otherwise you'll end up losing
more than this house.
960
00:52:13,797 --> 00:52:16,288
Mick!
Darryl, I've seen it happen, mate.
961
00:52:16,467 --> 00:52:17,832
Now, settle down.
962
00:52:18,010 --> 00:52:22,299
If you want to take 'em on,
do it the right way - by the book.
963
00:52:22,473 --> 00:52:23,929
Alright, Mick.
964
00:52:24,099 --> 00:52:27,091
Oh, and, daz... yeah?
965
00:52:27,269 --> 00:52:29,851
Put them gates around the back.
966
00:52:30,022 --> 00:52:32,684
Oh, yeah.
967
00:52:39,698 --> 00:52:41,905
Darryl: Listen, things
are getting a bit serious.
968
00:52:42,076 --> 00:52:45,910
Last night I had a visit
from some hired thug.
969
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:48,696
Farouk: Yeah, me, too.
What do you mean, you too?
970
00:52:48,874 --> 00:52:53,288
A man, he come to my house and
he say, “stop with the court business.”
971
00:52:53,462 --> 00:52:56,420
If no stop, he have friend
who come and beat me.
972
00:52:56,590 --> 00:52:59,002
I say, “you have friend,
I have friend.
973
00:52:59,176 --> 00:53:00,541
“My friend come to your house,
974
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,005
“put bomb under your car
and blow you to fucking sky!”
975
00:53:03,180 --> 00:53:05,341
What'd he do?
He get scared and he leave.
976
00:53:05,516 --> 00:53:07,472
I bet he did!
977
00:53:07,643 --> 00:53:12,137
I don't really have friend like this
but people think all arab have bomb.
978
00:53:12,314 --> 00:53:16,227
You're a bloody ripper, farouk!
That's fuckin' fantastic!
979
00:53:16,402 --> 00:53:17,892
Excuse the French, evonne.
980
00:53:18,070 --> 00:53:19,651
Get your hand off it, Darryl.
981
00:53:19,822 --> 00:53:23,360
Anyway, um...
I was worried for everyone.
982
00:53:23,534 --> 00:53:26,071
I just didn't want to force
anyone into this.
983
00:53:26,245 --> 00:53:27,610
Farouk?
984
00:53:27,788 --> 00:53:29,494
I'm with you, mr Darryl.
985
00:53:29,665 --> 00:53:31,030
Evonne?
986
00:53:31,208 --> 00:53:33,449
What are they gonna do
my ex hasn't done?
987
00:53:33,627 --> 00:53:37,085
Jack? Yeah, fuck "em.
988
00:53:37,256 --> 00:53:39,668
Well, Dennis denuto is acting
on our behalf.
989
00:53:39,842 --> 00:53:42,174
We've gotta be in federal court
next Tuesday.
990
00:53:42,344 --> 00:53:44,130
Does he think we've got a good case?
991
00:53:44,304 --> 00:53:47,717
He reckons it just has
to contravene the constitution.
992
00:53:47,891 --> 00:53:50,849
And the constitution
is the biggest law we've got.
993
00:53:51,019 --> 00:53:52,725
How much?
994
00:53:52,896 --> 00:53:54,261
Ah, good point, evonne.
995
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,021
Steve.
996
00:53:57,568 --> 00:54:01,106
Now, all up it's gonna cost $1,500.
997
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,943
Now, that's $750 now,
$750 in six months time.
998
00:54:05,117 --> 00:54:06,948
So, $150 each.
999
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:10,452
Jack, I know you can't do it,
so I'm kickin' in for you.
1000
00:54:10,622 --> 00:54:13,113
Good on ya, Darryl.
I'll pay you back.
1001
00:54:13,292 --> 00:54:15,658
Evonne? Yeah, fine.
1002
00:54:15,836 --> 00:54:17,997
Farouk? I pay cash now.
1003
00:54:18,172 --> 00:54:20,128
No, no, no! Hold your horses!
1004
00:54:20,299 --> 00:54:22,210
What is it with wogs and cash?
1005
00:54:22,384 --> 00:54:26,218
Anyway, it's bargain basement prices
1006
00:54:26,388 --> 00:54:30,597
and... you'd better wear a suit
this time, farouk.
1007
00:54:30,768 --> 00:54:33,100
What's this Dennis denuto
like, Darryl?
1008
00:54:33,270 --> 00:54:36,933
He's a lawyer.
This is about the law.
1009
00:54:37,107 --> 00:54:39,564
He's gotta know what he's doin'.
1010
00:54:43,530 --> 00:54:49,651
Um... al-alright.
Give me one moment... and I will.
1011
00:54:49,828 --> 00:54:53,491
Um... it's the...
1012
00:54:55,167 --> 00:54:57,078
The, um...
1013
00:54:57,252 --> 00:54:59,584
The...
1014
00:54:59,755 --> 00:55:02,041
The constitution... of Australia.
1015
00:55:02,216 --> 00:55:04,548
This is a blatant violation
1016
00:55:04,718 --> 00:55:09,963
of the constitution
of the commonwealth of Australia.
1017
00:55:10,140 --> 00:55:14,304
And when it comes to violations,
they don't come any bigger.
1018
00:55:15,604 --> 00:55:19,563
What section of the constitution
has been breached?
1019
00:55:19,733 --> 00:55:21,269
Section?
1020
00:55:21,443 --> 00:55:26,779
What... what section...
There is no one section.
1021
00:55:26,949 --> 00:55:30,817
It's... just the vibe... of the thing.
1022
00:55:32,579 --> 00:55:36,288
I'm afraid, mr denuto,
you'll have to be more specific.
1023
00:55:36,458 --> 00:55:37,823
Oh, yeah, sure, sure.
1024
00:55:38,001 --> 00:55:39,366
I was just starting general
1025
00:55:39,545 --> 00:55:42,127
and then I was getting...
More specific with it.
1026
00:55:42,297 --> 00:55:45,835
The, um...
Just one moment... please.
1027
00:55:46,009 --> 00:55:47,545
The, um...
1028
00:55:48,595 --> 00:55:51,462
Jesus, Darryl, I am sweating here!
1029
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,301
You're killin' them, Dennis.
1030
00:55:53,475 --> 00:55:56,091
I don't even know Roman numerals.
1031
00:55:56,270 --> 00:55:57,680
Um...
1032
00:55:57,855 --> 00:55:59,436
Xx...
1033
00:56:00,816 --> 00:56:04,900
I've got it here as the... section 51,
1034
00:56:05,070 --> 00:56:09,313
uh... second from the bottom.
1035
00:56:10,742 --> 00:56:13,404
“The parliament shall have power
to make laws
1036
00:56:13,579 --> 00:56:16,867
“with respect to copyrights,
patents of inventions
1037
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,951
“and designs and trademarks.”
1038
00:56:20,002 --> 00:56:21,492
It's all part of it.
1039
00:56:21,670 --> 00:56:24,252
This is what I'm getting at.
That's my point.
1040
00:56:24,423 --> 00:56:26,288
It's. It's the vibe of it.
1041
00:56:26,466 --> 00:56:28,627
Alright, taken.
1042
00:56:29,678 --> 00:56:34,718
Do you have a precedent
which supports this... 'Vibe'?
1043
00:56:35,767 --> 00:56:41,228
Uh... yes. Yes, I do.
Um... just one moment.
1044
00:56:42,691 --> 00:56:45,524
What's the name
of the famous aboriginal?
1045
00:56:45,694 --> 00:56:47,104
Cathy Freeman?
1046
00:56:47,279 --> 00:56:49,144
No, no, the court...
Evonne goolagong?
1047
00:56:49,323 --> 00:56:50,904
No, no, no. Ma... ma... mabo.
1048
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:52,985
Mabo.
1049
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,651
What about it?
1050
00:56:55,829 --> 00:57:01,369
That's your classic case
of big business trying to take land...
1051
00:57:01,543 --> 00:57:03,454
And they couldn't.
1052
00:57:03,629 --> 00:57:06,587
Mr denuto, the mabo decision
1053
00:57:06,757 --> 00:57:11,376
pertains to the specific issue of
native land title and terra nullius.
1054
00:57:11,553 --> 00:57:13,168
Yeah.
1055
00:57:13,347 --> 00:57:16,680
So, what part of the judgment
is relevant to this case?
1056
00:57:16,850 --> 00:57:22,390
A-again... it...
It's just the vibe... of it.
1057
00:57:24,441 --> 00:57:27,057
Actually, may l... approach the bench?
1058
00:57:36,036 --> 00:57:37,822
Am I wasting my time here?
1059
00:57:37,996 --> 00:57:40,032
Your case is not strong.
1060
00:57:40,207 --> 00:57:43,165
Am I sort of
in the ballpark, though?
1061
00:57:43,335 --> 00:57:44,745
I'm a judge!
1062
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,502
I understand.
Can you just give me an angle?
1063
00:57:47,673 --> 00:57:49,880
I'm sorry, mr denuto. I can't.
1064
00:57:50,050 --> 00:57:53,713
Understood, understood.
I think I've got a good one, anyway.
1065
00:58:01,478 --> 00:58:07,018
In summing up, it's...
The... constitution, it's mabo,
1066
00:58:07,192 --> 00:58:12,653
it's justice, it's law,
it's the vibe and. Er...
1067
00:58:12,823 --> 00:58:15,314
No, that's it. It's the vibe.
1068
00:58:17,577 --> 00:58:19,533
I rest my case.
1069
00:58:20,747 --> 00:58:22,954
That was sensational.
1070
00:58:23,125 --> 00:58:25,286
Counsel for the respondent.
1071
00:58:26,753 --> 00:58:29,711
Your honour, I don't wish to waste
any more of your time.
1072
00:58:29,881 --> 00:58:31,246
I appreciate it.
1073
00:58:31,425 --> 00:58:33,403
Our arguments are contained
in the forward documents
1074
00:58:33,427 --> 00:58:34,963
and we'd be more than happy for that
1075
00:58:35,137 --> 00:58:37,469
to constitute the case
for the respondent.
1076
00:58:37,639 --> 00:58:41,257
Thank you. So be it.
I call a one-hour adjournment.
1077
00:58:42,310 --> 00:58:44,551
Good on ya, Dennis.
That shut 'em up.
1078
00:58:44,730 --> 00:58:46,812
I'm going for a bit of
a breather, mate.
1079
00:59:29,608 --> 00:59:31,519
How you goin'?
1080
00:59:31,693 --> 00:59:33,274
Oh, fine, fine.
1081
00:59:33,445 --> 00:59:34,981
Got a case comin' up?
1082
00:59:35,155 --> 00:59:36,520
Er, no, no.
1083
00:59:36,698 --> 00:59:39,189
I'm here to see someone.
I'm a spectator today.
1084
00:59:39,367 --> 00:59:40,732
Oh, yeah.
1085
00:59:40,911 --> 00:59:42,617
My son's first appearance.
1086
00:59:42,788 --> 00:59:45,951
Oh. Do you reckon he'll get off?
1087
00:59:46,124 --> 00:59:48,831
Oh, no, no. He's a barrister.
1088
00:59:49,002 --> 00:59:51,994
He's appearing for the first time
as a barrister.
1089
00:59:52,172 --> 00:59:54,037
Congratulations! Oh, thank you.
1090
00:59:54,216 --> 00:59:55,752
Darryl kerrigan.
1091
00:59:55,926 --> 00:59:57,291
Oh, Lawrence hammill.
1092
00:59:57,469 --> 00:59:58,879
G'day, Lawrence.
1093
00:59:59,054 --> 01:00:02,137
Barrister, en?
He'd need a degree for that.
1094
01:00:02,307 --> 01:00:05,925
Yes, yes.
He's got a couple, actually.
1095
01:00:06,103 --> 01:00:08,014
You must be as proud as punch.
1096
01:00:08,188 --> 01:00:09,803
Well, you know.
1097
01:00:09,981 --> 01:00:12,472
Oh, I know. I've got a daughter.
1098
01:00:12,651 --> 01:00:15,734
Diploma certificate -
fully qualified hairdresser.
1099
01:00:15,904 --> 01:00:19,988
The day she came home and told me
she'd got into sunshine tafe
1100
01:00:20,158 --> 01:00:22,069
was the proudest day of my life.
1101
01:00:22,244 --> 01:00:24,326
Yes, I can imagine.
1102
01:00:24,496 --> 01:00:28,489
Yeah, sure makes us parents
look like a bunch of dodos, eh?
1103
01:00:30,752 --> 01:00:33,710
You wouldn't have dreamt
of doin' what your son's done.
1104
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,747
No... no. Anyway, Darryl,
what brings you here?
1105
01:00:36,925 --> 01:00:39,166
Oh, bloody government's
trying to take my house.
1106
01:00:39,344 --> 01:00:40,800
This new airlink thing.
1107
01:00:40,971 --> 01:00:44,964
Imagine that - sal and me brought up
our whole family in that house
1108
01:00:45,142 --> 01:00:47,178
and they think they can just walk in...
1109
01:00:48,562 --> 01:00:52,851
Anyway, we're takin' them to court.
Bloody outrageous.
1110
01:00:53,024 --> 01:00:55,640
It's gotta be
against the constitution.
1111
01:00:55,819 --> 01:00:58,435
Yes, it is outrageous.
Who's acting for you?
1112
01:00:58,613 --> 01:01:02,572
Dennis denuto.
Uh... never heard of him.
1113
01:01:02,742 --> 01:01:05,529
Oh, you wouldn't have.
He just does our local area.
1114
01:01:05,704 --> 01:01:08,867
Yeah, but I've never heard of him
in constitutional law.
1115
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,998
No, you wouldn't.
He does conveyancing, mainly.
1116
01:01:12,169 --> 01:01:14,751
You know, wills, petty theft -
that sort of thing.
1117
01:01:14,921 --> 01:01:17,879
But, hey, it's all
based on the constitution.
1118
01:01:18,049 --> 01:01:20,756
Yes, yes... in a way. Mmm.
1119
01:01:20,927 --> 01:01:22,292
Good bloke, though.
1120
01:01:22,470 --> 01:01:24,461
Yes, sounds like it.
1121
01:01:24,639 --> 01:01:28,302
Anyway, I'd better be going.
Sure.
1122
01:01:28,476 --> 01:01:30,842
Yeah. Nice talkin' to you, lawrie.
1123
01:01:31,021 --> 01:01:32,477
Nice talking to you, Darryl.
1124
01:01:32,647 --> 01:01:34,308
And good luck with your boy.
1125
01:01:34,482 --> 01:01:38,225
Thanks, Darryl.
I hope everything works out.
1126
01:01:38,403 --> 01:01:41,270
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'm pretty confident.
1127
01:01:41,448 --> 01:01:43,655
I find in favour of the respondent.
1128
01:01:43,825 --> 01:01:45,907
Yes!
1129
01:01:48,330 --> 01:01:50,241
It's them, Darryl.
1130
01:01:50,415 --> 01:01:52,576
But we was responding to them.
1131
01:01:53,919 --> 01:01:56,911
We lost, Darryl. I'm sorry.
1132
01:01:57,964 --> 01:02:00,922
Dad reckons he must've
sat there for an hour.
1133
01:02:01,092 --> 01:02:05,552
He said it was like being kicked
in the guts with the back end of a bus.
1134
01:02:05,722 --> 01:02:09,055
Dad had to explain to farouk
that they'd lost.
1135
01:02:09,226 --> 01:02:11,763
It was really hard
telling evonne too.
1136
01:02:11,937 --> 01:02:14,644
But the toughest one was Jack.
1137
01:02:21,238 --> 01:02:23,820
Trace and con were great, though.
1138
01:02:24,866 --> 01:02:27,323
Good on you, dad.
You stood up to them.
1139
01:02:27,494 --> 01:02:29,359
I'm so proud of you.
1140
01:02:29,537 --> 01:02:32,495
I'm so impressed with your
fighting quality, mr kerrigan.
1141
01:02:32,666 --> 01:02:34,122
Thanks, mate.
1142
01:02:34,292 --> 01:02:38,456
And can I just say how disenchanted
I am with our legal system?
1143
01:02:44,052 --> 01:02:47,340
Dad was very quiet
after losing the court case.
1144
01:02:47,514 --> 01:02:49,470
I'd never seen him so down.
1145
01:02:49,641 --> 01:02:52,758
He even stopped complimenting mum
on her cooking.
1146
01:02:54,938 --> 01:02:57,475
Are you right there, darl?
1147
01:02:57,649 --> 01:02:59,185
Yeah.
1148
01:03:03,530 --> 01:03:05,486
Steve: Dad?
1149
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:12,695
Someone's, uh...
Selling a telephone box.
1150
01:03:12,872 --> 01:03:14,612
Oh.
1151
01:03:19,296 --> 01:03:22,333
They said no to an extension.
1152
01:03:23,383 --> 01:03:26,546
Dennis says we gotta be out
in two weeks.
1153
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,551
Two weeks?
1154
01:03:35,437 --> 01:03:38,099
I haven't told Wayne yet.
1155
01:03:39,649 --> 01:03:42,857
I think dad felt he'd let everyone down,
but especially Wayne.
1156
01:03:43,028 --> 01:03:45,394
That's why he'd been
putting off telling him.
1157
01:03:45,572 --> 01:03:48,109
He just couldn't think of a way
to break it to Wayne.
1158
01:03:48,283 --> 01:03:52,071
I told dad not to worry -
I knew how to tell Wayne we'd lost.
1159
01:03:52,245 --> 01:03:54,952
We lost. Lost?
1160
01:03:55,123 --> 01:03:57,865
Yeah.
1161
01:03:58,043 --> 01:04:00,750
Did dad do his nut?
1162
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,707
No, he's gone real quiet.
1163
01:04:04,758 --> 01:04:06,419
Quiet?
1164
01:04:07,469 --> 01:04:10,802
Yeah. I think he thinks
he's let everyone down.
1165
01:04:10,972 --> 01:04:13,258
Let us down?
1166
01:04:13,433 --> 01:04:15,515
Well, yeah. That's what I think.
1167
01:04:16,561 --> 01:04:18,097
See, especially you.
1168
01:04:18,271 --> 01:04:22,014
I think he was looking forward to
the day you'd come back to the house.
1169
01:04:22,192 --> 01:04:25,810
Well, you tell dad
the only reason I love that house
1170
01:04:25,987 --> 01:04:28,319
is 'cause it had him and mum in it.
1171
01:04:28,490 --> 01:04:30,947
And, like... everyone else.
1172
01:04:32,118 --> 01:04:33,528
Wherever they go, I'll love.
1173
01:04:33,703 --> 01:04:36,820
As long as it has them in it.
1174
01:04:36,998 --> 01:04:41,458
All those lawyers and government
people can just go and get fucked.
1175
01:04:41,628 --> 01:04:43,334
“As long as it has them in it.
1176
01:04:43,505 --> 01:04:46,963
“All those lawyers and government
people can go and get fucked.”
1177
01:04:47,133 --> 01:04:51,502
Only, he wanted me to change
that “get fucked” bit, but I forgot.
1178
01:04:51,679 --> 01:04:53,215
Onya, mate.
1179
01:04:54,265 --> 01:04:56,301
I'd better keep packing.
1180
01:05:37,308 --> 01:05:39,139
Dad?
1181
01:05:40,186 --> 01:05:41,596
Yeah, mate?
1182
01:05:41,771 --> 01:05:45,559
I can, uh, get you
some more boxes if you want.
1183
01:05:46,609 --> 01:05:49,476
No, I think I'll be right, Steve.
1184
01:05:53,491 --> 01:05:55,152
Dad?
1185
01:05:58,246 --> 01:06:00,578
You haven't let anyone down.
1186
01:06:01,624 --> 01:06:06,288
I don't know what the opposite
of lettin' someone down is...
1187
01:06:07,338 --> 01:06:09,704
But you've done the opposite.
1188
01:06:24,439 --> 01:06:26,350
When are you gonna sign 'em?
1189
01:06:28,026 --> 01:06:29,482
I don't know.
1190
01:06:29,652 --> 01:06:31,688
They gotta be done by Friday.
1191
01:06:31,863 --> 01:06:33,478
I can't.
1192
01:06:33,656 --> 01:06:36,648
I can't. I just can't.
1193
01:06:36,826 --> 01:06:39,158
Darryl, we gotta go.
1194
01:06:39,329 --> 01:06:40,785
Yeah, I know.
1195
01:06:40,955 --> 01:06:43,446
I know we lost, I know we
gotta get out of this place,
1196
01:06:43,625 --> 01:06:45,240
I know this is no longer our house,
1197
01:06:45,418 --> 01:06:48,034
but I'll be buggered
if I can sign those papers.
1198
01:06:48,213 --> 01:06:53,207
I just cannot physically
pick up the pen and sign them!
1199
01:06:56,930 --> 01:07:00,138
Did you speak to Jack?
Yeah, yeah.
1200
01:07:00,308 --> 01:07:03,516
His son-in-law's moved to Perth
so he's no help.
1201
01:07:03,686 --> 01:07:06,143
Poor Jack.
1202
01:07:07,190 --> 01:07:11,854
Listen, I told him he could stay
with us until we work something out.
1203
01:07:12,028 --> 01:07:14,485
How did you go with the agent?
1204
01:07:14,656 --> 01:07:19,116
Two-bedroom units are $80,000.
1205
01:07:19,285 --> 01:07:20,991
A flat?
1206
01:07:21,162 --> 01:07:26,782
With four people, the greyhounds,
five cars,
1207
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:28,666
the boat and Jack.
1208
01:07:28,836 --> 01:07:30,451
It'll be ok.
1209
01:07:30,630 --> 01:07:32,791
And what are we
gonna do with Wayne?
1210
01:07:32,966 --> 01:07:34,922
Wayne'll understand.
1211
01:07:35,093 --> 01:07:38,381
You know he keeps a photo
of this place on his wall.
1212
01:07:38,555 --> 01:07:39,965
I know.
1213
01:07:40,139 --> 01:07:41,720
He gets out after five years
1214
01:07:41,891 --> 01:07:45,725
and we have to put him in a laundry
smaller than his cell.
1215
01:07:45,895 --> 01:07:49,353
Rs maybe we rent.
1216
01:07:49,524 --> 01:07:52,482
We not only lose our place,
we're paying for someone else's.
1217
01:07:52,652 --> 01:07:53,652
Well, darl...
1218
01:07:53,736 --> 01:07:57,820
I'm really starting to understand
how the aborigines feel.
1219
01:07:58,866 --> 01:08:01,152
Have you been drinking?
1220
01:08:01,327 --> 01:08:04,319
Well, this house is like their land.
1221
01:08:04,497 --> 01:08:06,533
It holds their memories.
1222
01:08:06,708 --> 01:08:09,040
The land is their story.
It's everything.
1223
01:08:09,210 --> 01:08:14,295
You just can't pick it up
and plonk it down somewhere else.
1224
01:08:14,465 --> 01:08:18,003
This country's gotta stop stealing
other people's land.
1225
01:08:18,177 --> 01:08:22,386
Steve: Dad? There's someone
here to see you.
1226
01:08:24,434 --> 01:08:25,469
G'day, Darryl.
1227
01:08:25,643 --> 01:08:27,474
Lawrie!
1228
01:08:29,772 --> 01:08:31,933
So, I thought I'd come and visit.
1229
01:08:32,108 --> 01:08:33,814
But how'd you find us?
1230
01:08:33,985 --> 01:08:37,352
You know us dodos -
we've got a few tricks up our sleeves.
1231
01:08:37,530 --> 01:08:39,521
Don't I know it.
1232
01:08:39,699 --> 01:08:42,532
L, uh, heard about the decision.
1233
01:08:42,702 --> 01:08:45,990
Yeah! Yeah, well,
that's the way these things are.
1234
01:08:46,164 --> 01:08:49,122
How did your boy go?
Oh, fine. Yeah, fine.
1235
01:08:49,292 --> 01:08:50,657
Great. Great.
1236
01:08:50,835 --> 01:08:53,451
Darryl, I wonder if I could
put something to you.
1237
01:08:53,630 --> 01:08:54,630
Yeah, sure.
1238
01:08:54,672 --> 01:08:58,290
I don't think
I introduced myself fully.
1239
01:08:58,468 --> 01:09:01,551
You see, I'm retired now
but I'm actually a lawyer myself.
1240
01:09:01,721 --> 01:09:03,632
Three degrees in the family.
1241
01:09:03,806 --> 01:09:06,013
I'd like to see your poolroom!
1242
01:09:06,184 --> 01:09:09,142
I'm, uh... what's called a qc.
1243
01:09:09,312 --> 01:09:11,018
Oh, yeah. A qc?
You're one of those?
1244
01:09:11,189 --> 01:09:12,429
What's that?
1245
01:09:12,607 --> 01:09:13,938
A queen's counsel.
1246
01:09:14,108 --> 01:09:15,769
Oh! You counsel the queen.
1247
01:09:15,943 --> 01:09:19,435
Um, they're the lawyers
rich people use, love.
1248
01:09:19,614 --> 01:09:23,027
Yeah, well, that's probably the most
accurate way of describing us.
1249
01:09:23,201 --> 01:09:28,321
I don't think Dennis would be a qc.
N-no, I don't think, er...
1250
01:09:28,498 --> 01:09:33,037
Anyway, my specialty as a qc
was constitutional law,
1251
01:09:33,211 --> 01:09:34,747
Australian constitutional law.
1252
01:09:34,921 --> 01:09:37,378
Now, have you heard
of the tasmanian dams case?
1253
01:09:37,548 --> 01:09:39,539
Um...
1254
01:09:39,717 --> 01:09:40,923
Well, um, mabo?
1255
01:09:41,094 --> 01:09:44,382
Oh, the aboriginal guy,
told the government to shove it.
1256
01:09:44,555 --> 01:09:45,965
That's the one.
1257
01:09:46,140 --> 01:09:50,474
Anyway, I've had quite a bit
to do with these over the years
1258
01:09:50,645 --> 01:09:54,263
and I've had a look into your case
over the last few days.
1259
01:09:54,440 --> 01:09:57,898
And I think there's a bit more to it.
What do you mean?
1260
01:09:58,069 --> 01:10:01,778
I think you've got a case.
So, Dennis was on the right track?
1261
01:10:01,948 --> 01:10:03,563
Y-yes.
1262
01:10:03,741 --> 01:10:05,697
I told you that judge
had it in for him.
1263
01:10:05,868 --> 01:10:07,708
I believe there's a section
of the constitution
1264
01:10:07,829 --> 01:10:09,194
about the government's right
1265
01:10:09,372 --> 01:10:11,579
to acquire land
that hasn't been tested.
1266
01:10:11,749 --> 01:10:13,785
But Dennis tested it.
1267
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,623
Well, I think
we could test it better.
1268
01:10:17,797 --> 01:10:22,257
Anyway, I would like to appear
on your behalf gratis.
1269
01:10:22,427 --> 01:10:24,133
No fee.
1270
01:10:24,303 --> 01:10:26,715
Well, no. We couldn't.
1271
01:10:26,889 --> 01:10:29,346
I've done pretty well out of
this law caper over the years,
1272
01:10:29,517 --> 01:10:32,179
so if you're happy
for me to take it further...
1273
01:10:32,353 --> 01:10:35,220
Further? We've been
to the federal court.
1274
01:10:35,398 --> 01:10:38,140
How much further can we take it?
1275
01:10:38,317 --> 01:10:41,605
Three weeks later,
mr hammill, dad and Dennis
1276
01:10:41,779 --> 01:10:44,521
went to the high court in Canberra.
1277
01:10:44,699 --> 01:10:47,190
Lawrie asked Dennis
to be his instructing solicitor.
1278
01:10:47,368 --> 01:10:48,983
Dennis was stoked,
1279
01:10:49,162 --> 01:10:51,403
but shittin' himself
at the same time.
1280
01:10:51,581 --> 01:10:52,946
I'm shittin' myself.
1281
01:10:53,124 --> 01:10:55,035
Shall we?
1282
01:10:55,209 --> 01:10:56,745
Let's stick it up 'em.
1283
01:11:00,173 --> 01:11:03,085
And so dad - or as he
was called by the judge,
1284
01:11:03,259 --> 01:11:05,295
Darryl John kerrigan -
1285
01:11:05,470 --> 01:11:08,428
sat in the high court of Australia
and put his case.
1286
01:11:08,598 --> 01:11:10,429
Or, at least, mr hammill did.
1287
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:12,261
Dennis was very helpful too.
1288
01:11:12,435 --> 01:11:15,051
He was passing books around
like a librarian.
1289
01:11:15,229 --> 01:11:18,596
He even learnt Roman numerals
especially for the trip.
1290
01:11:18,775 --> 01:11:20,356
Um, paragraph x...
1291
01:11:21,402 --> 01:11:23,734
31. Thank you, Dennis.
1292
01:11:23,905 --> 01:11:26,362
But dad reckoned
there was no doubt about it.
1293
01:11:26,532 --> 01:11:29,820
From the moment he stood up,
mr hammill was the star of the show.
1294
01:11:29,994 --> 01:11:32,030
Section 51, paragraph 31.
1295
01:11:32,205 --> 01:11:35,163
“The parliament shall have power
to make laws
1296
01:11:35,333 --> 01:11:40,919
“with respect to the acquisition
of property on just terms.”
1297
01:11:41,088 --> 01:11:44,751
Let's think about those words
“on just terms”,
1298
01:11:44,926 --> 01:11:47,087
and how they relate to real people.
1299
01:11:47,261 --> 01:11:49,627
Your honour, my client
built his home by the law,
1300
01:11:49,806 --> 01:11:52,764
in full accordance with the law.
1301
01:11:52,934 --> 01:11:54,845
He doesn't know about the extensions.
1302
01:11:55,019 --> 01:11:57,601
But does he have
the protection of the law?
1303
01:11:57,772 --> 01:12:01,390
How can the forcible removal
of a family, a good family,
1304
01:12:01,567 --> 01:12:04,900
from their home,
have the blessing of our constitution?
1305
01:12:08,407 --> 01:12:10,648
Dad reckoned it was in the bag
1306
01:12:14,622 --> 01:12:18,786
well, my client has adhered to the law -
every law, every statute,
1307
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,872
from the town planning act
to civil aviation regulations.
1308
01:12:22,046 --> 01:12:25,254
But in what can only be described
as the last desperate measure,
1309
01:12:25,424 --> 01:12:29,508
my client is accused of breaching
none other than the constitution!
1310
01:12:29,679 --> 01:12:32,967
I mean, good lord,
what else are we guilty of?
1311
01:12:33,140 --> 01:12:35,973
International war crimes? Hmm?
1312
01:12:36,143 --> 01:12:38,759
He's even paid people
to laugh for him.
1313
01:12:38,938 --> 01:12:42,271
I refer the court to his honour,
mr justice Dixon's decision
1314
01:12:42,441 --> 01:12:44,352
in grace bros and the commonwealth.
1315
01:12:44,527 --> 01:12:47,860
Much as dad hated to admit it,
the other lawyer was good,
1316
01:12:48,030 --> 01:12:50,567
and he was gonna give us
a real run for our money.
1317
01:12:50,741 --> 01:12:52,447
A safeguard to the commonwealth...
1318
01:12:52,618 --> 01:12:54,950
But if mr hammill was worried,
he didn't show it.
1319
01:12:55,121 --> 01:12:57,203
He kept right on at 'em.
1320
01:12:57,373 --> 01:12:59,238
A constitutional guarantee
which is designed
1321
01:12:59,417 --> 01:13:00,873
to protect the individual...
1322
01:13:01,043 --> 01:13:04,001
But everything he said,
they had an answer for.
1323
01:13:04,171 --> 01:13:06,787
Your honour, that statement
was obiter dictum.
1324
01:13:06,966 --> 01:13:08,297
Was not.
1325
01:13:10,761 --> 01:13:12,171
Well, it wasn't.
1326
01:13:12,346 --> 01:13:13,927
Was it?
1327
01:13:14,098 --> 01:13:15,679
The interpretation...
I don't know.
1328
01:13:15,850 --> 01:13:20,184
'On just terms” was considered
in the tasmanian dams case.
1329
01:13:20,354 --> 01:13:24,438
The court took into account
the interests of the community,
1330
01:13:24,609 --> 01:13:26,645
such as job creation...
1331
01:13:26,819 --> 01:13:30,277
Dad reckoned Dennis got
the hang of things real quick.
1332
01:13:30,448 --> 01:13:34,737
The main job of a senior counsel
was to provide backup for the qc.
1333
01:13:34,911 --> 01:13:38,449
Ah, yes! And this is further
underlined in georgiades...
1334
01:13:38,623 --> 01:13:40,159
And that's what Dennis did.
1335
01:13:40,333 --> 01:13:44,292
Ah, utilitarianism - the greatest
good for the greatest number.
1336
01:13:44,462 --> 01:13:46,999
But what this principle fails to...
1337
01:13:54,221 --> 01:13:57,554
What this principle
fails to take into account
1338
01:13:57,725 --> 01:14:01,013
is that competing rights cannot
be weighed one against the other.
1339
01:14:01,187 --> 01:14:05,271
Is a family's right to live freely
in their home outweighed...
1340
01:14:05,441 --> 01:14:07,181
It wasn't just legal argument.
1341
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,523
Mr hammill even put jokes in -
clever jokes.
1342
01:14:10,696 --> 01:14:14,063
Not that our children
will have a place to live,
1343
01:14:14,241 --> 01:14:18,359
but whether they'll have prompt
delivery of their parcels.
1344
01:14:18,537 --> 01:14:21,199
Dad thought it was real funny...
1345
01:14:21,374 --> 01:14:23,330
Even though he didn't get it.
1346
01:14:23,501 --> 01:14:26,743
Suffer in your jocks.
1347
01:14:26,921 --> 01:14:28,457
In fact, there were a lot of times
1348
01:14:28,631 --> 01:14:31,213
he didn't quite understand
what was being said.
1349
01:14:31,384 --> 01:14:34,672
But one time, he knew exactly
what was being said.
1350
01:14:34,845 --> 01:14:38,508
He's even approached the appellant
with an offer of compensation.
1351
01:14:38,683 --> 01:14:42,926
A generous offer, considering
the nature of the, uh, dwelling,
1352
01:14:43,104 --> 01:14:46,392
or, as it might more accurately
be called, eyesore.
1353
01:14:46,565 --> 01:14:49,102
What are you calling an eyesore?
Darryl.
1354
01:14:49,276 --> 01:14:51,562
It's called a home, you dickhead.
1355
01:14:51,737 --> 01:14:53,193
Your honour. Darryl!
1356
01:14:53,364 --> 01:14:56,322
And it's a bloody fine one! If there
were more homes like that, we'd...
1357
01:14:56,492 --> 01:14:59,484
Have the jails full of people
like your son?
1358
01:14:59,662 --> 01:15:02,574
You bloody arsehole!
Sit down, Darryl.
1359
01:15:02,748 --> 01:15:05,740
Mr hammill,
I'm calling an adjournment
1360
01:15:05,918 --> 01:15:09,911
and I trust that your client will,
in the meantime, compose himself.
1361
01:15:10,089 --> 01:15:12,671
Mr Lyle, I'll thank you not to make
1362
01:15:12,842 --> 01:15:15,709
any further value judgments
in this court.
1363
01:15:15,886 --> 01:15:17,797
I'm sorry, lawrie, I...
1364
01:15:17,972 --> 01:15:19,462
That's alright, Darryl.
1365
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,801
I was thinking the same thing,
1366
01:15:21,976 --> 01:15:24,092
though not in those words.
1367
01:15:24,270 --> 01:15:26,761
I wish I had your words.
1368
01:15:26,939 --> 01:15:29,555
How dare they?
1369
01:15:29,734 --> 01:15:31,349
I mean, an eyesore!
1370
01:15:31,527 --> 01:15:35,520
I mean, that just goes to show
that they don't get it.
1371
01:15:35,698 --> 01:15:37,609
They're judging the place
by what it looks like,
1372
01:15:37,783 --> 01:15:42,903
and if it doesn't have a pool
or a classy front or a big garden...
1373
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:44,991
It's got a pretty good gate.
1374
01:15:45,166 --> 01:15:47,873
And because of that,
it's not worth saving.
1375
01:15:48,044 --> 01:15:51,536
But it's not a house, it's a home.
1376
01:15:52,590 --> 01:15:54,501
It's got everything.
1377
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,718
People who love each other,
care for each other.
1378
01:15:58,888 --> 01:16:02,722
It's got memories. Great memories.
1379
01:16:02,892 --> 01:16:06,726
I mean, it's a place
for the family to turn to.
1380
01:16:07,772 --> 01:16:09,137
Come back to.
1381
01:16:09,315 --> 01:16:13,979
But that doesn't seem to mean
as much as a big fuckin' driveway.
1382
01:16:14,153 --> 01:16:18,522
Later, it was time
for mr hammill to sum up.
1383
01:16:18,699 --> 01:16:20,985
Dad said he was unbelievable.
1384
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:22,525
It's not a house, it's a home.
1385
01:16:22,703 --> 01:16:24,694
He reckoned he finished
like a champion greyhound.
1386
01:16:24,872 --> 01:16:27,454
People who love each other,
people who care...
1387
01:16:27,625 --> 01:16:29,866
He quoted cases, he quoted laws.
1388
01:16:30,044 --> 01:16:31,500
But dad nearly fell off his chair
1389
01:16:31,670 --> 01:16:35,333
when mr hammill finished
by quoting dad, only better!
1390
01:16:35,508 --> 01:16:39,000
And somehow that's not worth
as much as a big... driveway.
1391
01:16:39,178 --> 01:16:44,218
Now, you may think our appeal
is based on emotion rather than law.
1392
01:16:44,391 --> 01:16:45,756
Not true.
1393
01:16:45,935 --> 01:16:50,304
It's about the highest law
in this country - the constitution -
1394
01:16:50,481 --> 01:16:54,520
and one phrase within it -
“on just terms”.
1395
01:16:56,612 --> 01:17:00,651
That's what this is all about - being just.
1396
01:17:00,825 --> 01:17:04,238
They want to pay only for the house.
1397
01:17:04,411 --> 01:17:08,370
But they're taking away
more than that, so much more.
1398
01:17:08,541 --> 01:17:11,123
Sure, the kerrigans built a house.
1399
01:17:11,293 --> 01:17:14,535
Then they built a home
and then a family.
1400
01:17:14,713 --> 01:17:18,171
You can acquire a house
1401
01:17:18,342 --> 01:17:21,175
but you can't acquire a home
1402
01:17:21,345 --> 01:17:24,758
because a home is not built
of bricks and mortar
1403
01:17:24,932 --> 01:17:27,514
but love and memories.
1404
01:17:28,686 --> 01:17:30,927
You can't pay for it
1405
01:17:31,105 --> 01:17:35,144
and you're just
short-changing people if you try.
1406
01:17:35,317 --> 01:17:38,775
I can't speak for those
who wrote this document,
1407
01:17:38,946 --> 01:17:43,781
but I'll bet when they put in
the phrase “on just terms”,
1408
01:17:43,951 --> 01:17:46,738
they hoped it would stop anyone
1409
01:17:46,912 --> 01:17:50,496
short-changing someone
like Darryl kerrigan.
1410
01:17:54,795 --> 01:17:56,581
Thanks, loz.
1411
01:18:02,928 --> 01:18:04,464
Thank you.
1412
01:18:06,182 --> 01:18:10,516
In the end, who knows whether
it was dad's words or mr hammill
1413
01:18:10,686 --> 01:18:12,222
or even Dennis's note passing,
1414
01:18:12,396 --> 01:18:13,932
but we won the case.
1415
01:18:14,106 --> 01:18:16,142
Found in favour
of the appellant.
1416
01:18:16,317 --> 01:18:18,228
Shit!
1417
01:18:19,528 --> 01:18:22,520
Bullshit! That's us.
1418
01:18:22,698 --> 01:18:24,359
We won?
1419
01:18:24,533 --> 01:18:25,898
We won.
1420
01:18:26,076 --> 01:18:28,692
You little ripper!
1421
01:18:28,871 --> 01:18:30,486
Thanks, lads.
1422
01:18:30,664 --> 01:18:33,201
Ha! We won.
1423
01:18:33,375 --> 01:18:35,707
Dad was stoked,
but suitably restrained.
1424
01:18:35,878 --> 01:18:39,462
He reckons the other side didn't know
what to do with themselves.
1425
01:18:39,632 --> 01:18:42,294
Dennis was so stunned
he went all quiet.
1426
01:18:42,468 --> 01:18:44,004
Dad reckons he almost cried.
1427
01:18:44,178 --> 01:18:46,089
In fact, I think he did.
1428
01:18:46,263 --> 01:18:48,504
Mr hammill just sat there for ages.
1429
01:18:48,682 --> 01:18:50,482
He reckoned it was the most
satisfying victory
1430
01:18:50,643 --> 01:18:52,679
he'd had in 47 years.
1431
01:18:52,853 --> 01:18:55,435
Dad reckoned it's important
to be noble in victory
1432
01:18:55,606 --> 01:18:57,847
so he spoke to the other qc...
1433
01:18:58,025 --> 01:18:59,936
Hey!
..The one who had a go at Wayne.
1434
01:19:00,110 --> 01:19:01,975
Bad luck...
1435
01:19:02,154 --> 01:19:04,019
You dickhead.
1436
01:19:06,367 --> 01:19:09,951
The case was all over the news
that night.
1437
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:11,485
Good evening.
1438
01:19:11,664 --> 01:19:14,622
First tonight, a landmark decision
in the high court today
1439
01:19:14,792 --> 01:19:18,410
has confirmed the age-old saying,
“a man's home is his castle.”
1440
01:19:18,587 --> 01:19:21,545
When the huge airlink consortium
tried to compulsorily acquire
1441
01:19:21,715 --> 01:19:25,082
a string of homes on Melbourne's
outskirts earlier this year,
1442
01:19:25,261 --> 01:19:26,876
they didn't expect a fight.
1443
01:19:27,054 --> 01:19:28,419
Well, they got one.
1444
01:19:28,597 --> 01:19:30,883
Reporter: It was a
case of Darryl v. Goliath
1445
01:19:31,058 --> 01:19:32,923
in the high court
of Australia today
1446
01:19:33,102 --> 01:19:34,467
when tow truck driver...
1447
01:19:34,645 --> 01:19:37,933
Mum reckons it's real funny
how one day you're not famous
1448
01:19:38,107 --> 01:19:42,100
and the next day you are - famous -
and then you're not anymore.
1449
01:19:42,278 --> 01:19:45,736
Dad had one of the biggest
parties ever that night back at home.
1450
01:19:45,906 --> 01:19:48,022
He invited everyone
from the neighbourhood -
1451
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,111
his friends, family, in-laws.
1452
01:19:50,286 --> 01:19:53,904
This case has totally regained
my faith in the legal system.
1453
01:19:54,081 --> 01:19:56,322
Mr hammill even brought
his son along.
1454
01:19:56,500 --> 01:19:58,741
I'm really pleased
to meet you, Adam.
1455
01:19:58,919 --> 01:20:01,331
Everyone was having
a real good time...
1456
01:20:04,300 --> 01:20:06,291
Especially mum and dad.
1457
01:20:06,468 --> 01:20:08,709
I've never seen them so happy.
1458
01:20:08,887 --> 01:20:12,095
Dad invited everyone
up to Bonnie doon.
1459
01:20:12,266 --> 01:20:14,848
I fix for you with
special farouk pressure system.
1460
01:20:15,019 --> 01:20:16,680
Mr hammill said he'd love to come.
1461
01:20:16,854 --> 01:20:18,685
I don't think he'd ever
fished for carp.
1462
01:20:18,856 --> 01:20:21,393
Well, that party went
on and on and on.
1463
01:20:21,567 --> 01:20:23,103
And dad smiled all night.
1464
01:20:23,277 --> 01:20:25,859
This is why we need that patio.
Yeah.
1465
01:20:26,030 --> 01:20:27,736
The victory was reported
in all the papers.
1466
01:20:27,906 --> 01:20:30,147
It became known
as the 'kerrigan decision'.
1467
01:20:30,326 --> 01:20:32,567
Don't thank me. This is the bloke...
1468
01:20:32,745 --> 01:20:36,363
Although dad said as far as he was
concerned, it was lawrie's victory.
1469
01:20:36,540 --> 01:20:39,657
Don't forget Dennis here, either.
Dennis...
1470
01:20:39,835 --> 01:20:43,248
That was the beginning of a string
of good luck for our family.
1471
01:20:43,422 --> 01:20:45,162
Six months later, we got notice
1472
01:20:45,341 --> 01:20:47,798
that Wayne would soon
be eligible for parole.
1473
01:20:47,968 --> 01:20:50,050
Dad rang mr hammill,
who was more than happy
1474
01:20:50,220 --> 01:20:52,051
to come out of retirement again.
1475
01:20:54,808 --> 01:20:56,639
When mr hammill walked in,
1476
01:20:56,810 --> 01:20:59,472
he reckons they granted him
parole out of shock.
1477
01:21:00,647 --> 01:21:02,387
Dennis became very well-known
after the case
1478
01:21:02,566 --> 01:21:05,148
and people came
from everywhere to hire him.
1479
01:21:05,319 --> 01:21:07,901
He won a very big case -
a class action
1480
01:21:08,072 --> 01:21:11,690
against people who put lead
in the landfill 15 years ago.
1481
01:21:11,867 --> 01:21:14,108
I think mr hammill
helped him there too.
1482
01:21:14,286 --> 01:21:15,822
Dad is very happy for him.
1483
01:21:15,996 --> 01:21:18,237
He even bought himself
a new photocopier,
1484
01:21:18,415 --> 01:21:21,373
one that never breaks down.
1485
01:21:21,543 --> 01:21:24,831
And guess what? Mr hammill
did go up to Bonnie doon.
1486
01:21:25,005 --> 01:21:27,542
At first dad thought
it was out of politeness.
1487
01:21:27,716 --> 01:21:30,924
But it can't be
'cause he goes up there all the time.
1488
01:21:31,095 --> 01:21:32,676
And he and dad still hit it off
1489
01:21:32,846 --> 01:21:34,837
as good as they did
the first day they met.
1490
01:21:35,015 --> 01:21:36,380
Coco never won another race,
1491
01:21:36,558 --> 01:21:39,846
but she had a son
which dad called son of coco.
1492
01:21:40,020 --> 01:21:43,387
He hasn't won yet,
but dad has high hopes.
1493
01:21:43,565 --> 01:21:46,398
Dad did finish the patio -
in a Greek style.
1494
01:21:46,568 --> 01:21:49,731
And the extension, and he even
put up those big iron gates
1495
01:21:49,905 --> 01:21:53,272
that he and Steve had gotten
for a bargain that night in toorak.
1496
01:21:53,450 --> 01:21:56,032
Steve got back with kerry,
his old girlfriend.
1497
01:21:56,203 --> 01:22:00,196
Eventually they got married
and had a little boy, three weeks later.
1498
01:22:00,374 --> 01:22:02,786
“Baby capsule. Still in box.”
1499
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,042
Con and Tracey had a kid too.
1500
01:22:05,212 --> 01:22:07,373
He's already taken up kickboxing.
1501
01:22:07,548 --> 01:22:10,756
They are great parents.
1502
01:22:10,926 --> 01:22:14,794
Wayne started helping dad with
the tow truck and really made a go of it.
1503
01:22:14,972 --> 01:22:18,590
Dad's even more proud of him now
than when he was in jail!
1504
01:22:18,767 --> 01:22:21,133
It was Wayne's idea
fo move into tray trucks.
1505
01:22:21,311 --> 01:22:23,848
Pretty soon, they had two,
then three, then eight!
1506
01:22:24,022 --> 01:22:25,558
Who knows when it'll stop?
1507
01:22:25,732 --> 01:22:27,097
Mum reckons 11.
1508
01:22:27,276 --> 01:22:29,392
She's as proud as punch
with all this.
1509
01:22:29,570 --> 01:22:32,607
And guess what?
She did take up pottery.
1510
01:22:32,781 --> 01:22:34,317
She didn't even need lessons!
1511
01:22:34,491 --> 01:22:39,076
And dad, well, he reckoned he got
everything he'd ever wished for.
1512
01:22:39,246 --> 01:22:43,285
He often used to sit out on the patio
and just smile to himself.
1513
01:22:43,459 --> 01:22:46,371
And they still live
at 3 highview Crescent,
1514
01:22:46,545 --> 01:22:48,456
even though it's only them two
living in it.
1515
01:22:48,630 --> 01:22:51,121
And dad still calls it
his castle.
1516
01:22:54,553 --> 01:22:58,341
My name's Dale kerrigan
and that was my story.
