Case notes presented by a Northside Clinic doctor who counselled Greta in July 1993 gave a clear prognosis: ‘To put it very mildly, the relationship with her husband is catastrophic. I think she has the option of going on as it is and probably dying from hypertension or doing something about it. She is very reluctant to face reality.’ This last observation was verified when the matriarch was examined by Kristina Moran’s barrister: Greta had simply forgotten it all. The family commenced to do something similar when the case was settled soon after. To Douglas, the proceedings meant only one thing: further evidence of Australian disrespect for the enterprise spirit.

[The court case] disappoints me as an Australian. Friends in the US have said to me, ‘Doug, if you were over here in the States, what you’ve done, where you have come from, you would be highly respected’. But we don’t want that here…People say, ‘Let’s shoot him down’…We will kick on. It’s a great family, dedicated to nursing care. So we will win.
