October 15, 2026

Show notes

Bondy’s been secretly, and illegally, stashing away money that isn’t his to keep as his empire crumbles, and while Alan Bond’s beating away the creditors trying to bankrupt him, he’s also building a back-up plan.

As decades of dirty deals and backroom manoeuvres begin to surface Bondy isn’t just being chased for the billions he owes, criminal investigators are also on his tail and this time he has nowhere to run.

This is episode 5 of a 6-part history podcast series from ABC Rewind for Radio National and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
