The Big Ask A disastrous election result is looming, and Murray's days as a political minder seem numbered. With a runaway son on his hands, the police at his heels, and a gun buried in the backyard, Murray Whelan faces his toughest test yet. Something Fishy Even in the political wilderness, hope springs eternal for the Hon. Murray Whelan MP. He has found true love and there is a baby on the way. But in a world of abalone poaching, shady restaurateurs, tree-hugging ferals and teenage romance, you can depend on Murray Whelan to stumble upon Something Fishy. Sucked In When the remains of a long-lost union official are found in dried-up Lake Nillahcootie, Murray Whelan soon gets sucked into some murky waters. His old mate Charlie Talbot is implicated, the press are sniffing around and Labor's enemies are lining up for a free kick. Then there's the blackmail attempt. And as if that wasn't enough, there's an ALP pre-selection going pear-shaped.
