William 'Bill' Mott came from generations of farmers/graziers who never wanted anything else but to own their own land. Hard work

family and the sense of community were pitted against the harsh reality of this ancient land and its climate of drought and flooding rain. Overseas wars had taken many of their own

but they had to believe it was for the greater good

for the safety of the land they worked and the preservation of a history and culture they held dear. But then rural Australia was hit by a tsunami of institutional dishonesty

greed and corruption

poor bureaucratic legislation

and conflicted and complicit governments. Bill Mott had trusted his bank and lost everything: his land

his home

his livelihood

his future

his children's inheritance and his marriage. But giving up was not in Bill Mott's DNA. Australians were unaware of how much Australian-owned agriculture had been lost; how many farming families and their communities had perished; and how Australia's food and water security was endangered. For Bill Mott

it was a seven-year battle before he beat the bank

but the fight was about more than that; because 'the Bureaucracy

Bankers and Bastards' should never be allowed to win.
