Lots of little memory back lane flashbacks to Queensland in the 80's.

lyrics

"The inquiry was instigated by Queensland’s police minister and deputy premier, Bill Gunn, in May 1987. Gunn was prompted to act following media reports of barely restrained criminal activity in Brisbane “vice dens”, under the protection of police officers.
Most notable among this media coverage were reports by Courier-Mail journalist Phil Dickie, and the now renowned Moonlight State Four Corners episode, filed by ABC investigative reporter Chris Masters."
Thirty years on, the Fitzgerald Inquiry still looms large over Queensland politics"

1986 in Queensland
The National Party landslide election
The Christian Right selection
Joh and the clean streets searching every weirdo you meet
EXPO 88 will make us great
4am another police raid
Gambling dens and brother shops organised well by cops
Where do you live?
Queensland

In this cockroach of a city, we run the show
Spider web of collection money, betting, sex and drugs
God fearing voters want the scumbags kept off the streets
Crims should be scared here
Cowboy cops, cowboy developers
We’re all mates in the Moonlight State
