There is a threat of a strike by the unions and John is put in charge of fixing it. However, it is Gina that fixes the problem. Bryan is concerned that people are trying to overcharge the games committee and goes penny-pinching.
Bryan demonstrates to a skeptical John how companies can take financial advantage of the Olympic Games organising committee. Gina's attempt to embarrass the minister by causing a strike during the Olympics backfires when the trade union official involved caves in to Gina's aggressive negotiating style.
The Olympics offer Australia an opportunity not just to showcase our wonderful country and a range of endangered marsupials. The event will also bring to this country an international Cultural Festival featuring the very best in the visual arts, music and dance. There will also be some sport. The Games team must try to avoid major industrial action which could ruin the impending Olympics.
