In the late 1980s and early 1990s, rugby league was a code looking to expand nationally after the success of its premier competition in Sydney. Clubs emerged in Brisbane, Newcastle, and the Gold Coast.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation took the growth in the sport as an indication it ought to expand even further and plotted a coup, to take the running of the code out of the hands of the establishment - the Australian Rugby League.
What followed was a war that ripped the sport apart with Murdoch on one side and the other, backed by another multi-millionaire media mogul, Kerry Packer. It was mogul against mogul, club against club, and players against players.
In this episode of Judgements we take a deep dive on how and why the war began - and how the game came back together to form what is now the National Rugby League.

Saturday, October 12th, 2002. A warm night in Bali’s bustling Kuta Beach. Bars packed with tourists, music pumping. Then - devastation. Two massive explosions rip through popular Paddy’s Bar and the Sari Club across the road.
202 lives were lost, 88 of them Australians.
In the wreckage, tiny clues told a story. Copper wires, fragments of tartan fabric, the surprising absence of a crater.

In this episode, he takes host Liz Porter inside the science of that investigation and reveals the lessons learned from it.

Document examiner Neil Holland has worked on documents related to investigations into alleged Nazi war criminals, accused killers and dodgy bookies, and resurrected the writing on a document found inside a corpse’s stomach.
In 1985, when Neil was the head of the Victoria Police document examination branch, the National Gallery of Victoria made history - acquiring Pablo Picasso's The Weeping Woman. At $2 million, it was the most expensive artwork ever purchased by a gallery in Australia.
Less than a year later, it was gone. Stolen in a daring heist that left police, the art world, and the media stunned.
Eighteen days after the theft, Neil found himself in the back of a police van in the dead of night - cradling a brown paper package.
Inside? The missing Picasso, taken hostage by a group calling themselves the Australian Cultural Terrorists.
In this episode, he’s here to tell host Liz Porter the story.
