Mercury

The Sunday Mercury is a weekly paper published in Melbourne that tends to upset the government in power (and the opposition) as it reports the news. Reporters scramble to get their story on page one, and zealously guard their "turf" while their editor is more interested in the final product and less in the bruised egos of his staff of the ire of the Victoria Prime Minister.

Without Fear or Favour

50 mins

A mysterious fax from an unknown source sets the Sunday Mercury political reporter Georgi Singer on to an investigation that threatens to overturn the inner sanctums of the government - and onto a collision course with her editor, Bill Wyatt. Crime Reporter, John "Plod" Proudfoot, investigative hotshot David "Gibbo" Gibson and human interest writer Tess Macdonald uncover the unexpected angles of a psychiatric patient. News editor Ross Wheeler works the phone chasing up the mystery of the body down the mine shaft in faraway Coober Pedy. The stories all come together in the Sunday Mercury - but not quite the way they started.
