Investigative journalist Bob Bottom describes the cultural changes that occurred within Australia during the period 1965 – 1984. During the late 1960s, organised crime within Australia underwent a significant and irreversible transformation. New competition launched a hostile business takeover and eliminated the old-time crooks, before seizing their money-making enterprises. A new sophistication then entered the illicit business markets. This included the establishment and maintenance of ongoing criminal networks that encompassed the wealthy and powerful. Read chapter five, Death a Reality to learn about the disappearance and suspected murders of Juanita Nielsen (4^th July 1975) and Donald Mackay (15^th July 1977). Also, Eddie Trigg. Shayne Martin Simmonds. Frederick Krahe. Keith Kelly. Abe Saffron. Robert Trimboli. The Nugan Hand Bank. NSW Premier Robert Askin. Lawful and unlawful police phone tapping. The Age Tapes. Non-fiction. 168 pages.
