Consider this the lobsters’ revenge on the Victorian Opposition Leader Mr. Matthew "tough on crime” Guy, who was boiled and cooked red after having a sit-down lobster and donations dinner with mobster Antonio Madafferi. Recorded conversations referenced taking limousines to the dinner, secret back doors and bags of money. The recordings underlie the deep, seedy underbelly of Australian politics.
