Blue Murder is a two-part Australian television crime drama miniseries produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1995, and is based on true events.

Set in the 1970s and 1980s in Sydney, the miniseries concerns the relationship between controversial former detective Roger "the Dodger" Rogerson and notorious criminal Arthur "Neddy" Smith. Rogerson and his colleagues were accused of giving Smith a "green light" to commit crimes without police interference, with the relationship fraying when Rogerson orders hitman Chris "Mr. Rent-a-Kill" Flannery to murder Police Officer Michael Drury. The murder of prostitute Sallie-Anne Huckstepp also features.

Blue Murder is narrated by the characters of Rogerson, Smith, and Drury, and focuses on the corruption allegations that plagued the NSW Police Force at the time. Rogerson and Smith achieved a kind of celebrity status during the Wood Royal Commission into police corruption.

The screenplay was written by Ian David, who has written extensively on the people and events featured. The miniseries was directed by Michael Jenkins and produced by Rod Allan.

Blue Murder consists of two 90-minute episodes, which are each divided into three individual "chapters". Each chapter is narrated by one of the three main characters: Neddy Smith, Michael Drury, and Roger Rogerson.

"Green Light" (Narrated by Neddy Smith)

After a botched attempt at a payroll robbery, career criminal Arthur "Neddy" Smith (Tony Martin) is arrested by the NSW Police. He is brutally interrogated by Detective Sergeant Roger Rogerson (Richard Roxburgh), who attempts to coerce a confession. Smith keeps silent and is eventually released, on the understanding that he will henceforth be operating under the paid protection of Rogerson and his colleagues.

Smith initially works as a bodyguard for a prominent heroin dealer, but soon establishes his own drug business. One of Smith's underlings, Warren Lanfranchi (Alex Dimitriades), rips off a dealer who is connected with Rogerson; the police launch a manhunt for Lanfranchi, who goes into hiding. Lanfranchi begs Smith to smooth things over with Rogerson. But Rogerson and his colleagues tell Smith that Lanfranchi's actions won't be tolerated, referencing the fact that Lanfranchi pulled a gun on a policeman during a traffic stop (Although no round was discharged) before the robbery. Rogerson instructs Smith to bring Lanfranchi to a public meeting. Smith convinces Lanfranchi by assuring him he will face nothing worse than a verbal reprimand. Lanfranchi, however, tells his girlfriend, Sallie-Anne Huckstepp (Loene Carmen) that he fears a worse fate awaits him. Smith delivers an unarmed Lanfranchi to Rogerson, who shoots Lanfranchi dead.
