Yeah nah...I’ve ticked off on the Neville Wran mention, just waiting for Neddy Smith and Roger Rogerson to get theirs. The lady conducting this series is as professional and thorough as they come .
Tragic that people, mostly kids, were basically murdered for the financial gain of organised crime figures and high ranking police, politicians and judges.
In fact there were many eye witnesses who saw the 'Bikies' and described them in detail. The facts have not changed over time, the main thrust of the documentry is that it was never properly investigated at the time. If you have ever read the Nation Review back in the early to mid 1980's a lot of the 'facts' that are reiterated in this were first published there. It has always been known by the GP that Mr Sin was behind it.After watching the 3 part series, the only link they could come up with between the 'bikies' and Saffron was the word of someone who tells fibs? Les did tell the cops that he followed them afterwards but Fiona says he didn't, he spent the whole day with her.
I reckon there's good reason to believe Saffron was involved but the series added a fair bit of mayo to help prove their point. As usual, not an unbiased story.
This is another one of those 50yo cases where the facts change over time, often orchestrated by the media.
Was it 1974 or 1979?
I was talking about them setting the fire, for Saffron. There's little doubt they were there. The only person that says they lit the fire is Les, because he's the only person who says he heard them suggest they lit it. No-one saw them carrying kero.In fact there were many eye witnesses who saw the 'Bikies' and described them in detail.

The story by Meldrum-Hanna suggests the lights were on and the train was running so there couldn't have been an electrical fault. There were TWO fuse boxes, which tells us there were other electrical things running, such as the fan which was directly under, probably a foot away, from where the fire started.
My leaning is to Saffron but it can't be discounted that the fire started accidently. The story was far from unbiased.
PS. If I wanted a fire started by someone else I'd only want that person to know, I'd sure as hell be keeping the witnesses to a minimum.

What i don't understand is if it was done on purpose why on earth would they do when the ride was operational (risking innocent lives)? and why when there were crowds of people around (risk being seen)? Would it not have been far simpler to have done it whilst the park was closed?
