Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 1949 at the end of the school year, Jack Billing's mother accompanied him aged 15 to the Bunbury Police Station. At that young age he was fascinated by the science of fingerprint identification.He wanted to join the Police Force.What followed was a successful career, first in general Police duties, then in the Police Scientific Branch as a photographer, fingerprint technician, questioned document examiner - and along the way a Police diver and member of the Police Bomb Squad.In his 43 year career he built a reputation with colleagues and in the courts for being guided scrupulously by the objective evidence that a scientific approach to criminal investigations revealed - to the frustration of defendants, and at times investigators.He rose to the leadership position of Assistant Commissioner in the Western Australian Police Force, and in the 1989 Australian Honours he was awarded an Australian Police Medal in recognition for his service to policing in the state.This book is his testimony about the often misrepresented but compelling forensic evidence in one of Western Australia's most controversial criminal cases, the 1982 Perth Mint Swindle.

Book excerpt: Utilizing court transcripts and interviews, this is the gripping account of a courtroom drama that titillated the public during an era of crooked cops and corporate fraud. When the Perth Mint was swindled out of more than a half-million dollars worth of gold, the local police thought they had the culprits: the Mickelberg brothers—Ray, Peter, and Brian. Already accused of defrauding Australian millionaire Alan Bond by manufacturing a phony gold nugget, the Mickelbergs were tried and convicted despite the fact that the gold was never found. A cutting-edge analysis of the legal process and the trials and tribulations of seeking justice in a corrupt system, this chronicle depicts the nearly 30 years the Mickelbergs fought to prove their innocence and the mysterious death of Brian and the violent and untimely ends of two corrupt officers.

Download or read book The Catalpa Rescue written by Peter FitzSimons and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incredible true story of one of the most extraordinary and inspirational prison breaks in Australian history. New York, 1874. Members of the Clan-na-Gael - agitators for Irish freedom from the English yoke - hatch a daring plan to free six Irish political prisoners from the most remote prison in the British Empire, Fremantle Prison in Western Australia. Under the guise of a whale hunt, Captain Anthony sets sail on the Catalpa to rescue the men from the stone walls of this hell on Earth known to the inmates as a 'living tomb'. What follows is one of history's most stirring sagas that splices Irish, American, British and Australian history together in its climactic moment. For Ireland, who had suffered English occupation for 700 years, a successful escape was an inspirational call to arms. For America, it was a chance to slap back at Britain for their support of the South in the Civil War; for England, a humiliation. And for a young Australia, still not sure if it was Great Britain in the South Seas or worthy of being an independent country in its own right, it was proof that Great Britain was not unbeatable. Told with FitzSimons' trademark combination of arresting history and storytelling verve, The Catalpa Rescue is a tale of courage and cunning, the fight for independence and the triumph of good men, against all odds.

Book excerpt: BORN TO RIDE, THE ONES INSIDE Some 'one percenters' have committed criminal acts, 100% crimes. Hells Angel Chris Hudson, stewing in steroid, booze and ice juices, was, in his girlfriend-victim's words, 'completely out of his mind, insane, just completely gone' when his handgun came out, after his fist and boot went in. A lot of crimes were committed on Father's Day 1984, one of the saddest days for outlaws, when Bandido met Comanchero in the car park of the Viking Tavern. What did happen when the Bandidos prez KK - Chaos was another name - was gunned down by two Rebels in the basement of the Blackmarket Café, under the Hellfire S&M club? A sniper in the desert near Kalgoorlie and a Gypsy Joker bomb team in Perth are not two stories, they're one bloody unfinished revenge story. Melbourne Hells Angels Roger, Peter, Ray and Terence - the Greenslopes Angels - took the amphetamine group of drugs from petty contraband into the black mass market. And changed Australia.

Download or read book Bent Uncensored written by James Morton and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sensational murder convictions this winter of former NSW detectives Roger Rogerson and Glen McNamara for the killing of drug dealer Jamie Gao has meant that previously suppressed material in Bent can at last be read. James Morton and Susanna Lobez have illustrated, in several Gangland books, that Australia almost certainly has out-ganged other countries. Now their spotlight is turned on corruption within the police services and identifying which state wins the bent cop handicap. Morton and Lobez examine the problems that started with the First Fleet and spread through to the present day, looking at the trouble caused by greed, power, drink, sex, money and, most recently, drugs. They compare the experience in Australia with corruption in America, England and Hong Kong, concentrating in particular on organised corruption at the highest levels, including judges, lawyers and politicians, through to the petty criminals who work our streets. Which state has the shadiest cops? The answer will surprise you.

Book excerpt: The early settlers at the Swan River determined they would remain a free settlement, but after twenty years of unremitting struggle, as their economic circumstances became perilous, they were forced to petition the British Government for convicts and the much needed labour their presence would bring.Between 1850 and 1868, close to 10,000 male convict arrived in Western Australia from Britain. Far from being the detrimental influence many predicted, the 'lags', the detritus from the iniquities of the English legal and penal systems, injected new life into an stagnant economy. Despite a high percentage of original serious criminality among them, the vastly different environment in this most isolated of British settlements had a positive influence on these refugees from the cruel prisons and hulks of the Home country.The convict system in W.A. proved to be forward and benign by comparison with the systems of earlier decades in New South Wales and Tasmania. In consequence, many of the convicts who were landed at Fremantle subsequently became valuable citizens, helping to lay the foundations of early, modern Western Australia.

Download or read book The Hilton Bombing written by Imre Salusinszky and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978, Evan Pederick, a naive 22-year-old in the thrall of a radical religious movement, Ananda Marga, placed an enormous bomb outside Sydney’s Hilton Hotel. It killed three people. A decade later, Pederick confessed to this act of terrorism. But when one of his alleged accomplices was later acquitted, significant parts of Pederick’s testimony were undermined and he was accused of being a ‘fantasist’. Conspiracy theories flooded in to fill the vacuum. Was it a plot by ASIO, rather than, as Pederick asserted, a plot to assassinate the Indian prime minister? In the absence of a Royal Commission or similar inquiry, mystery continues to shroud the deadliest terror attack on Australian soil. Pederick, an Anglican priest, stands by his confession and testimony. Here is his story, told for the first time. It is an extraordinary tale of guilt, remorse, renewal, and the search for forgiveness.
