01 | Sirens Are Coming – The Great Survivor

In 1958, the Rat Pack were born — three dirty cops who would use bribery and extortion for the next forty years in Queensland to wield power over sex workers.

Two of their early recruits were Dorothy Edith Knight, who fell in love with one Rat Packer Glen Hallahan, and Shirley Brifman, who did their dirty work in Queensland's first-ever Royal Commission into police misconduct.
