 Four Corners (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Four Corners is Australia's longest-running and most respected investigative journalism/current affairs television program.
A notable early example of this was the show's epoch-making 1962 exposé on the appalling living conditions endured by many Australian Aborigines living in rural New South Wales.
In 1983, Four Corners aired allegations that former NSW Premier Neville Wran had tried to influence the magistry over the dropping of fraud charges against Kevin Humphries, charged with misappropriation of funds from the Balmain Leagues Club.

Here Gog is identified as the land in the four corners of the earth and Gog's attack here is represented as an eschatological event that will occur after the Millennium, and that will be vanquished by divine intervention.
Legends present in countries throughout Eastern Europe and the Middle East mention that massive copper, iron, or brass gates were built on its southern borders with the Persian Empire; this would support the identification of these "four corners of the world" as Central Eurasia, the westernmost of these gates having been built at Derbent.

Each of the feature-length docs (also to be released in a DVD box set on Oct. 7) combine archival clips of legendary blues performers with fresh footage of the form's contemporary purveyors and interviews with musicians and enthusiasts.
The series is also subtitled "a musical journey," which may explain the filmmakers' distaste for boring stuff like dates and places.
However scattered the series can seem, as it struggles to connect the music's hallowed past with its present and possible futures, the belief in the blues' enduring relevance by people like Marshall Chess is infectious.

The inquiry was established in response to a Four Corners report, aired May 1987, entitled "The Moonlight State" alleging high-level corruption involving both the police force and the then-Bjelke-Petersen government.
Lewis was convicted (and subsequently stripped of his knighthood), while the Bjelke-Petersen trial resulted in a hung jury amidst allegations that the jury foreman (later revealed to be the leader of the youth wing of Bjelke-Petersen's National Party) had misrepresented the state of deliberations to the judge.
Bjelke-Petersen's trial was controversial enough to be the subject of a TV movie, "Joh's Jury" [1].

 This Day Tonight information information - Search.com
When TDT premiered in 1967 it was the first regular nightly current affairs program on Australian TV, and it extended the ABC's award-winning coverage of current affairs, which had begun in the early 1960s with its flagship weekly program Four Corners.
It was a training ground for a generation of leading Australian TV journalists, including Gerald Stone (later the producer of the Australian Sixty Minutes), Richard Carleton, Mike Willesee, George Negus and Mike Carlton.
TDT was renowned for its hard-hitting interviews, a craft brought to a high degree of perfection by Carleton and Negus; the program subjected Australian politicans to a novel degree of questioning and raised the hackles of politicians on both sides who were unused to being placed under such scrutiny.
