'The afternoon before the state funeral for former Queensland premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen in early May 2005, I took a quiet drive to Bethany — the late leader's family spread in the peanut capital that is Kingaroy, 210 kilometres north-west of Brisbane. I was in town to report on the funeral, along with dozens of other journalists, and instinct told me to head to Bethany. ' (Introduction)
