ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S MOST DIVISIVE LEADERS BROUGHT TO LIFE BY RICHARD ROXBURGH, REVEALED - JOH: LAST KING OF QUEENSLAND PREMIERES JUNE 22.

A feature-length documentary about divisive leader, conservative icon and former Queensland Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen, Joh: Last King of Queensland is a timely examination of progress, power, corruption, and Joh’s complex legacy.

Hugely popular, he presided over enormous growth – but corruption raged under his tenure, as did electoral manipulation and often violent suppression of dissent. He ran Australia’s fastest growing state with an iron fist, until a seminal work of investigative journalism prompted a Royal Commission and unravelled a vast web of corruption.
