Homicide

Why all the Fuss (12x29)

: 22, 1975

o young men, Lambert and Cook, who have a compulsive hatred of 'poofters', kill Gerard Rivers, a successful homosexual businessman. Insp. Lawson uncovers some strange personal viewpoints and bizarre sexual practices of some well-to-do, respected members of the community. Notes: Rescheduled by ADS-7 in Adelaide to a later timeslot (9.00 PM) due to the 'poofter bashing' subject matter. In Melbourne it was not shown as part of the original screening, and was eventually aired during a repeat run. The title is taken from a statement by a youth actually charged with a crime of this type.
