* CompleteMonster: [[{{Greed}} Neil Fletcher]] was the corrupt station hand of Faraway Downs. Fletcher murders his boss, the husband of Lady Sarah Ashley, while also [[FrameUp framing]] a local Indigenous elder, King George, for the crime. Desiring to take control of the ranch so that he can sell it for profit to King Carney, Fletcher's treachery is exposed by Nullah, Fletcher's illegitimate Indigenous son. A furious Fletcher [[AbusiveParents becomes physically abusive to Nullah]] and other Indigenous women trying to protect him. Upon being fired by Lady Sarah, Fletcher releases all of the ranch’s cattle out of spite. Later allying with King Carney and competing with Faraway Downs deliver their cattle, Fletcher sabotages his rivals by scaring the 1,500 cattle into a stampede, where they trample Flynn to death, and the cattle very nearly charge off a cliff face. When King Carney confronts Fletcher over his crimes, [[TheStarscream Fletcher murders Carney]] by pushing the latter into crocodile-infested waters where he is devoured, before marrying his oblivious daughter to inherit his wealth. Following the Darwin bombings, Fletcher blames his financial ruin on the heroes and especially Nullah, who Fletcher tries to [[OffingTheOffspring shoot dead]].

About fans and critics praising it such audiences think it doesn't measure up. Not just disappointment.

* CriticalResearchFailure - 19th Battalion was CMF, the Australia Milita, and hence should have been shown with the chocolate coloured hatband instead of the normal khaki coloured one regular soldiers had the right to wear. Reversist soldiers in Australia are still refered to as Chocos because of this hat band. Extra embarassing as the movie was Oscar nominated for Best Costume.
