The Australian Federal Police were particularly zealous in their support, not only operationally, with respect to the government’s initial policy to sacrifice Schapelle Corby, but subsequently, in the management of political fallout and public opinion.
The film demonstrates that a range of factors influenced the enthusiasm with which the AFP set about this role. Examination of their own long term involvement in drug syndication, and systemic corruption, reveals a number of sinister turns.
The film examines a range of disturbing whistle blowing incidents, including the case of Gary Lee-Rogers, who predicted his own demise when he alleged AFP corruption. He was found dead in a pool of blood, with a knife in one hand and bottles in the other. The Australian establishment deemed this to be death by natural causes.
A number of vital questions are examined, such as the disappearance of CCTV tapes which could have freed Schapelle Corby, and the non-investigation of the potential source of the marijuana, which any credible police agency in the world would surely have had an interest in.
However, the hidden strings are ultimately revealed using a clip of the Prime Minister’s own Chief of Staff, admitting on film that the AFP’s role is, indeed, to do the bidding of government.
This extract is chilling, illustrating why aspects of the film itself were produced in a climate of fear. It exposes a level of political and operational corruption which is deeply disturbing.
