		List members do have a tendency to develop nicknames, but they are usually to differentiate among people of the same name, (Michael, Mike P, Michael-dot and Mama Duck, John H, John O and John the Nicknameless).

	"Correlli" (1995) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		This is the show that the now world famous Jackman met his wife while making and the sexual tension between them (in the few scenes they actually had together) makes the scenes in the Sopranos between Tony Soprano and his psychiatrist look like a bad soap opera.
		It's not just a romance though, although it was talked up as one when it first came out, it's mainly about prison life and Hugh Jackman's character dealing with being in jail and being in love with his screw.
		There's a few strange cameos from other actors mostly only Australians would recognise and all in all it was a brilliant series with an appropriately heart wrenching ending.

		Bearing in mind that Hambali most likely supplied tons of misinformation intended to confuse and delay his captors, the interviews continued in the same vein and revealed that JI had enlisted the aid of "two Indonesians and a small network of followers" in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney to act as fundraisers for the cause.
