A credit to the ABC and a true depiction of how the fighting spirit of the Australian Workers can achieve great things. Although John Howard was voted in again after this fiasco, I felt that this was a very moving and well dramatized account of what happened on the Australian Waterfront in 1998. Well Done to Aunty and all involved in the mini-series on an outstanding piece of Australian Drama!! Outstanding Australian cast - headed by some of the country's best actors - including Justine Clarke, Rhys Muldoon, Colin Freils and a few lesser known but equally powerful cast. Set on the Webb Dock in Melbourne, the shows follows the plight of individuals and the MUA (Maratime Union of Australia) in it's fight to protect the rights and entitlements of it's workers against a non-union workforce. Incredibly moving and dramatic, I give it two thumbs up.
