INTRODUCTION:

This two-part series ollows

our people led by everyday

hero and ex-Hardies employee

Bernie Banton (Anthony

Hayes) thrown together

by a tragedy that becomes

a high-stakes battle through

the corridors o corporate,

political and media power.

Spanning our decades,

Devils Dust shows industrialmanuacturer James Hardie rst

cover up its knowledge o the

dangers o its asbestos mining

and products and then threaten

compensation plans by moving

the company overseas.

But it is not just a story o court

cases and corporate legalese.

Devils Dust depicts Australians

rom all walks o lie whose lives

are ripped apart by a deadly

dust that looks so innocent, yet

is so lethal.

In the 1970s, Bernie Banton

works on the James Hardie

BI actory oor in Parramatta

where asbestos dust is piled

like snowdrits. Little does he

realise the impact the dust

will have on him, his amilyand his colleagues and that

he will inspire a nation with

his determination to hold his

ormer employer to account.

Young and tenacious ABC

journalist Matt Peacock

(Ewen Leslie) uncovers the

dramatic gap between the

dangers o asbestos known

to international scientists and

the public position o James

Hardie and its allies.

When Matt meets Bernie

during an interview or The

7.30 Reporthe anoints him the

unocial spokesperson or

the asbestos compensation

campaign. As the two become

xated on pursuing James

Hardie, its up to Bernies wie,Karen (Alexandra Schepisi), to

pick up the pieces at home.

Karen helps Bernie handle the

emotional burden o ghting

or victims o asbestosis and

mesothelioma, the cancer

caused by asbestos and to

ace his own asbestos ate.

An intensely personal drama based on one of Australias most shocking

corporate scandals, Devils Dust tells the story of ordinary Australians

caught in a web of deception in the James Hardie asbestos saga. EXPOSED TO POISON. EXPOSING THE TRUTH.


4/20

The ctional character o

James Hardie spin doctor

Adam Bourke (Don Hany) is

Matt and Bernies nemesis as

he works hard to protect the

interests o the companys

shareholders. But ar rom

being ruthless and uncaring,

Adam experiences terrible

moral dilemmas when he

realises that the health and

survival o thousands o

Australians is jeopardised by

the materials his companymanuactured.

Based on interviews with

those who have survived and

the stories o those who have

died, Devils Dust is inspired

by the work o Matt Peacock,

author o the book Killer

Company.

The legacy o asbestos will

continue or decades to

come. By 2030, asbestos-

related illnesses are expected

to have killed more than

60,000 Australians, more

than our countrys death toll

in WW1.

He cant listen to what heregards as platitudes any longerand lets rip at the oundationspresident Barry Robson.

Folk hero, tireless campaignerand a thorn in the side o acorporation ducking or coveris how Bernie Banton willbe remembered. The ormerJames Hardie actory workershows determination to bringthe company to justice andbecomes the media icon or theasbestos compensation cause.

Bernie has black and white viewsand is not easily swayed. He is

intuitive, stubborn and sometimesbelligerent, but also a lovable,knockabout bloke with a sot side.

I would describe Bernie asan ordinary Australian who iselevated to an extraordinaryolk hero, says Anthony Hayes.

When Bernie starts workingat James Hardies Camellia

actory (then known as HardieBI) in 1968 as a lathe operator,he and his colleagues look likesnowmen, always covered romhead to toe in white asbestosdust. Its this exposure thateventually leads to Bernie beingdiagnosed with asbestosis in1998 and to an early death rommesothelioma in 2007, aged 61.

A man oten tortured by theinjustices o his predicament,

Bernie has a burning desire toseize the opportunity o takingon James Hardie to seek justiceor all asbestos victims and toalso make up or a waywardpast which he seeminglyconsiders wasted.

When youre acing your ownmortality you start lookingat your lie and want to be

someone, says Anthony. Asmuch as Bernie ghts or thecause, it seems he also wantsto be someone that leaves alasting legacy.

Bernies sense o airness andability to orate passionatelyor the cause is born romhis church upbringing, andwitnessing the illness and deatho not only his brother Ted butalso his best mate and so many

o his colleagues.

BERNIE BANTON played by Anthony Hayes


12/20

Driven, determined and unwaveringin his passion to help make theplight o James Hardie workerslead the news agenda, MattPeacock is on the scent o whatwill eventually become one oAustralias most prominent newsstories when we rst meet him inthe late 1970s.

A smart, pugnacious journalistor ABC radio and television, Mattrst reports on James Hardie

and the hazards o asbestos inthe workplace in 1977 in a radioprogram Work as a HealthHazard or ABC Radio National.

Its something he believes in verymuch and he is very driven, saysEwen Leslie. In some ways andI dont know whether this is trueto lie this is about someonewho was chasing a story and

wanting to get it out there, and isthen thrown into a very human,personal element o it. He ndshimsel in scenarios where hehas to break the news to peoplewho have worked with asbestosthat it can cause death.

As he works rom a desk piledhigh with papers, stationeryand dirty cups, the story piqueshis interest, and Matt stays thepath, operating under the maxim

without ear or avour.

Ater interviewing Bernie Bantonor The 7.30 Report, Matt anointsBernie as the ace o asbestoscompensation. Matt orms aclose bond with Bernie, speakingto him almost daily and advisinghim how he can keep the heat onHardie in the media.

What starts as just an interviewturns into an extraordinaryriendship, says Ewen. Theybecome good mates and Matt iswith Bernie right until the end.

MATT PEACOCK played by Ewen Leslie


13/20

Adam Bourke, a ctionalcharacter, is a loving ather andhusband o humble workingclass origins who climbs thecorporate ladder to become aspin doctor extraordinaire.

He starts his career in advertisingbeore using his ather-in-lawsconnections with a mid-levelHardie executive to land the roleo in-house public relations atJames Hardie. The conservative

and deeply career drivenexecutive is, without a doubt,Matt Peacocks antagonist, withthe two playing a cat and mousegame or decades.

Theres almost a mutual respectin a strange way, with both othem having a desire to sharethe story, says Don Hany.Adam believes he can work

with Matt to make it a win-winoutcome or what they are bothater.

Adams strength is his brilliance atturning a negative into a positive,allowing James Hardie tocontinue to promote their branddespite their strong associationwith deadly asbestos.

I dont think Adam sleepscomortably at night, says Don.

Hes a product o a certain typeo corporate culture o the time,and during the course o thestory he becomes the vehicleor showing how widespread thecost o such a culture can be.

But he becomes conictedabout what he believes and itgives him plenty o sleeplessnights.

Away rom the boardroomand courtroom, Adam drawsstrength rom his marriage toRebecca, who stands by herhusband through the rough andtumble decades o one o themost testing corporate jobs inthe country.

Karen is incredibly loving to

Bernie, says Alexandra Schepisi.She loves him unconditionallyand is extremely supportive andher strength builds throughouther time with Bernie as she ghtsbeside him and or him.

A ervently religious woman,Karen seems more conciliatorythan her husband and seeks toshow Bernie another viewpoint,

but she doesnt always succeed.She is, however, unwavering inher love and support or Bernieand, despite him becomingconsumed with bringing JamesHardie to justice, Karensdetermination to help him in hisbattle becomes more resolute asthe years go on.

Shes a very supportive, strong,kind and calm person, explainsAlexandra. She took on the

bigger picture mainly to supporthim, more so about raisingawareness o the health side othings as opposed to the legalbattle. Karen is very staunch; aquiet achiever and where Bernieis celebrated very prominently,Karen is right next to himsupporting him all the way.
