Australia pays some of the highest prices on earth for cocaine, ice and cigarettes, and for half a century that margin has drawn Calabrian families, a Hong Kong syndicate and motorcycle clubs to its ports. The money ran through tomato tins on a Melbourne wharf, casino bank accounts, deposit machines and a remitter's shopfronts. A country of independent courts and royal commissions answered with inquiries, informers and an encrypted phone that turned out to be the police, while its own police ran a defense barrister against her clients. Covers Nicola Gobbo and Victoria Police, Tony Mokbel, Pasquale Barbaro and the tomato tins, Tse Chi Lop and Sam Gor, Hakan Ayik and the ANOM sting, Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald, Crown Resorts and The Star, and Westpac and the Commonwealth Bank.
