This picture was filmed around October and November 1974.
"Charles E. Quayle: Mr. Pirie, the boy must have an education if he is to make anything of himself."
"Charles E. Quayle: I presume, Mr. Strapp, that I would be opposing you. J.C. Strapp: Naturally, since I'm the police attorney. Charles E. Quayle: Then I think that I should inform you that my client, Mr. Pirie, is going to sue the state of New South Wales for not providing a proper education for his son. J.C. Strapp: What? Charles E. Quayle: Since he lives seven miles from town and has no means of getting him to school, an education should be provided for him at home. J.C. Strapp: The other bush boys ride to school. Charles E. Quayle: Mr. Pirie can't afford to buy a horse. J.C. Strapp: That's his problem. He came here as an assistant migrant, and if he can't make a go of it... Charles E. Quayle: He can't make a go of it because his land is salty and rocky and is quite unsuited for irrigation farming. If this comes to court, I shall expect some inquiries to be made as to who sold the land to the government and at what profit. J.C. Strapp: Now see here! I... I'll tell Sgt. Collins that further information has come to light. J.C. Strapp: And the summons will be dropped? Charles E. Quayle: Yes, yes, I suppose so."
