o sung wu: (usually members attached to the fraud squad)

I see the Queensland Fraud Squad has been done for Fraud. Friday Courier Mail.

Politicians & the Law fraternity make laws that make their Fraud Legal & covers their Ar$e$.

G'day there JAYB...

Unfortunately, all police forces are not immune to corruption, including NSWPOL. You see, some are so tempted to take easy money especially those who know their way around the law and criminality - particularly police able to intimidate anyone, who's of a mind to 'give 'em up'! It's in the culture I'm afraid, and some weak bastards yield to that temptation, which then casts a dark shadow over us all!

Am I corrupt, I'll leave it to you to judge, as I have also received 'benefits' to the tune of - 50% at most large food outlets (Maccas & KFC etc); as do the Ambo's and Firies; 20 to 30% discount on tyres and vehicular parts; again as do the other emergency services.

And when I made detective, most of us attended a well known Men's Outfitters, in Sydney and suburbs, where we all received 25-30% on suits and sport's wear. Corruption, do you think JAYB ? Interestingly this same retailer regularly advertised in our Police Association magazine offering good rates for police - again available to other emergency services? Consequently one would have to be 'blind Freddy' to say the Commissioner was unaware of this?

o sung wu,
would that men's outfitter have been "Angelo de Marco" who also supplied the best Julius Marlow Brogues.
Are yes for good old low level corruption days when the pie and peas down at "Harry's" 'Cafe d Wheels'
were free to 'squad' members on Friday and Saturdays nights and there was always a cum gracia feed
and drinks and handful of chips and seat at the wheel in Forbes Street or the Goulb** Street high spot.
Corruption made the wheels turn better if not faster in those days andthen came "GREED" which blurred the line
so much that 'honest coppers' got out of the job and
went to work for themselves or the bookies.

G'day there CHRISGAFF1000...

It's always good to get one of your Emails Chris. Anglo de Marco ensured all of Sydney's 'jacks' were well attired and a credit to those who worked the upper floors of the Remington Centre. And for more robust attire, Joseph Dahdah, in sunny Redfern, took care of business.

And you'd recall that genteel supper establishment Costello's situated behind the Wayside Chapel, where if so motivated, many of the blokes who worked down stairs at KX, regularly gravitated. Only in an effort to ensure they strictly observed closing time, as well as maintaining their standard of fare. Moreover, in the past that's where the illustrious Consorting lads, allegedly had their local HQ?

Costello's was the preferred midday pasture of Graham 'Chook' FOWLER, his 2i/c Larry CHURCHILL. Also a confidant and good mate, Trevor 'woof' HAKEN who later 'gave up' half the job to the RC.

The Taxi Club opposite the C.C. Courts at the top of Oxford Street, was a haunt for some. Not for me mate, I didn't relish doing 5 years in the Bay for corruption, where you'd be continually watching your back, or on close protection in Berrima with all the other 'bow wow's.

I hope things are going well with you Chris.

Bringing up police corruption is a distraction.

Todays SMH page one story is more like the real and blatent and major corruption that is taking place.

Light rail running costs blow out by 70 percent, says the headline.

The Sydney TRAM project cost will apparently "blow out" by nearly a billion dolturn of trams was not wanted anyway.
Media especially including the SMH kept return of trams quiet enough to stifle debate that may have left fast maneuverable buses to do the job.

On the Gold Coast trams have taken away parking and sent many businesses to the wall.
Trams are surely not viable.

Light rail, what a joke. Light rail is a lie.

It's trams, stupid.

Big mobile advertising on the carriages all part of someones deal.
