On 8 April 1998 Australians woke up to the startling news that
dogs and men in balaclavas were invading the docks around the
country, locking out workers.

This is a story of political intrigue, of lies, double dealing,
high stakes leaks and high stakes finances. And guns. It
takes us from Queensland’s Ettamogah pub to the ports of Dubai,
from low-rent motel rooms to the highest court in the land. And
all the way to the Prime Minister.

In this six-part investigation into the waterfront dispute
between Patrick Stevedores and the Maritime Union of Australia,
host Jan Fran talks to the all major players, and digs up new
evidence revealing the depth of the government's involvement in
one of the biggest industrial showdowns in Australian history.
