The 4ZZZ newsroom asked questions daily of Queensland's notorious premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
Through the riots, protests and police intimidation, an unstoppable group of 4ZZZ journalists remained bent on exposing the murky underbelly of Queensland politics during the Bjelke-Petersen reign, which would be a laughing stock if the consequences weren't so serious.
Thanks to Xero, Ironing Music, The Parameters and Ups & Downs for letting us use their music throughout this episode.
