John Maitland, a former union leader and businessman, was found guilty of corruption by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
Maitland's case made headlines for years as it exposed the nexus between powerful unions and big business and the systemic corruption that was undermining the integrity of Australia's political system.
Mark Bouris discusses the details of Maitland's case, the charges he faced, and the alleged strategies employed by the ICAC to prosecute him. They also discuss the case's broader implications for Australian politics and the challenges anti-corruption agencies face in their fight against powerful interests.
