Beneath the sunlit surface of the Lucky Country lurks a shadowy underworld of corruption, violence, and organised crime — and Bob Bottom's The Godfather in Australia rips that veneer away with the precision of an investigative journalist at the top of his craft. This landmark work of Australian true crime chronicles the deep and disturbing tentacles of international organised crime syndicates as they wind their way into Australian society, mapping the networks, the players, and the systemic failures that allowed them to flourish largely unchecked. Bottom, one of Australia's most respected and tenacious crime journalists, presents a meticulously researched and unflinching account of how Mafia-style operations embedded themselves into the nation's institutions, its underworld, and even its corridors of power. With a documentary rigour that reads with the pace of a thriller, this work raises urgent and uncomfortable questions about complicity and the true cost of looking the other way — questions that remain as relevant today as when the ink first dried.
