    Even getting the story 'right' seems to be a balance between faith to the facts and entertainment. Every now and then media or other compare what's portrayed to history, and there are many inaccuracies...but hey, it great entertainment.

    Just as a random example, in Underbelly 1 Ang Goussis (a very promising amateur boxer) was portrayed as a 'bystander' in a murder outside a pub in a car. He was only recently found guilty of that murder and another, and recieved a 30 year sentence.

    Yeah spot on CHB, Just reading up on Goussis it seems as though he was quite active in the deaths of lewis moran and lewis caine.
    His portrayal in underbelly is that of a bystander/accesory after the fact.

    I think in the interest of a quickly moving story they miss a few minor characters

    That and the point that they can only go on the accepted "facts"they have at the time of production I guess

    They were the two he was found guilty of Bushy. This article from the Age newspaper about a year ago is worth a read:
