Duration: 60 minutes
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the firebombing of the Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley – a tragedy that caused the loss of 15 innocent lives. After the controversial trial of two of the alleged perpetrators and two official inquests, the story of what exactly happened that night and why is still a mystery. Investigative journalist and author Matthew Condon, who has written extensively about the Whiskey, tries to unpick what’s been described as one of the greatest crimes of 20th-century Australia. Session curated by Matthew Condon
