Hey Bad Acts listeners! Danielle's mother passed away on New Year's Eve, so we need another week before we resume regular episodes. We're sharing this episode from one of our sister podcasts on the Podmoth Network this week. We miss you!

A dark underbelly of crime and corruption lay hidden beneath Sydney’s polite society in the 70s and 80s. Criminals and cops worked hand in hand to conduct covert dirty deeds that’d make Dorian Gray’s head spin.

But it all came crashing down in one explosive interview. In 1981, Sallie-Anne Huckstepp went on 60 Minutes Australia. Telling the host, Ray Martin, that police could be bought. 

And not only that. That certain high profile members of the police were some of the worst criminals of all.
