Sex, violence and reality TV

Thursday, 1 October 2009 1:20 P GMT+10

It's pretty obvious that reality TV shows don't exactly attract the creme de la creme of society. Actually, it's starting to look like they attract its creme de la crim!See, the prime suspect in the gruesome murder of a porn star called F

Recurring phrase in McGurk murder reporting

Monday, 14 September 2009 12:40 P GMT+10

The murder of Michael McGurk is absolutely fascinating. It's like a bloody straight-to-DVD thriller, with a touch of Agatha Christie thrown in. Barely audible tapes, political powerbrokers, dodgy development deals, notes naming potential killers,

Perth plod's monkey madness

Wednesday, 26 August 2009 1:12 P GMT+10

Over in Perth, a bloke pretending to be a monkey has been arrested by a bloke pretending to be a policeman . Kind of ironic, since that city has more than its fair share of criminal rock apes running free.

When abortion is murder

Friday, 29 May 2009 11:26 A GMT+10

When a teenager pays a bloke to beat her up so that her unwanted 7-month old fetus dies, she is charged with criminal solicitation to commit murder. But when a woman requests that the state do the same thing in a more focused and clinical manner (i.e

The first stone, etc.

One thing that's disturbing about this Matthew Johns scandal is the excessiveness of the punishment being metered out to him. Bloke really has been made a scapegoat. It's completely unfair. Channel Nine doesn't really give a tinker's

Andrew Mallard

Saturday, 9 May 2009 2:55 P GMT+10

Andrew Mallard, who was wrongfully convicted for murder and spent 12 years in the slammer, has been offered over three million bucks in compensation. Yet he reckons it's not enough. While the poor bastard went through hell, justice was even

New name required

Saturday, 28 March 2009 12:15 P GMT+10

Seems that many members of the new bikie club Notorious don't actually ride motorbikes. What do we call them then, "walkies"?Considering how menacing they are, it just doesn't do them justice.Any other suggestions?

Sydney the new Miami?

Monday, 23 March 2009 9:51 A GMT+10

Re that lethal bikie brawl in Sydney Airport: The fact that it happened so openly and in such a crowded space shows that the long running drug battles have become open warfare now. Reminds me of the kind of atavism unleashed on Miami in the "coc

Sydney home invasion

Thursday, 12 March 2009 10:19 A GMT+10

Yet more violence in Sydney's inner west. This time it started with a home invasion. The coppers gave chase and at least one shot was fired. It occurred in a house in Campbell St, St Peters. I lived in that street for a short while when I first c

Killer crush?

Monday, 16 February 2009 4:55 P GMT+10

Brendan Sokaluk, accused of lighting one of the deadly fires in Victoria, turns out to be a very mixed up individual. Has had a few chick problems lately, it seems. And he's a bit of a nature boy, with a major crush on mother earth. (What do you

Burning desires

Friday, 13 February 2009 8:37 P GMT+10

Seems the bloke arrested for starting the Churchill fires possessed child pornography. Always a chance the plods have nabbed the wrong guy, of course, so it's good to keep an open mind. Still, if he is the culprit, as seems likely, he's both

Blast in Petersham

Wednesday, 4 February 2009 12:05 P GMT+10

Another scary event has occurred not far from where I live. This time it was an explosion in a bikie clubhouse in Petersham. No one was hurt, fortunately. But it was a biggie. What's going on in this joint? It's like Baghdad, but with boofhea

More violence in Newtown

Wednesday, 28 January 2009 11:38 P GMT+10

Just had a late night wander down along King St. Saw ambulances outside a hotel near the train station.The ambos were were finishing their grim duties and about to go back to the hospital. Don't know exactly what had happened, but it looked like

Ultimate Scrooge act!

Thursday, 25 December 2008 1:41 P GMT+10

However your day unfolds, I hope it's a whole lot better than what happened to this poor family. Got their presents stolen from under the Christmas tree, didn't they!When the cops catch the culprits, I reckon they should send them off to the

Blues used ... again

Friday, 12 December 2008 2:26 P GMT+10

Just recently, depression was used as an excuse for rugby player Greg Bird's alleged bad behaviour. Now, a high profile young businesswoman is invoking it as a reason for her cocaine use. Call me cynical but I don't buy it. I think she just b

Knife attack in Newtown

Monday, 24 November 2008 1:51 P GMT+10

I've written before about the frequent violence that occurs in this city. Another gruesome act occurred last night. This time it was at my local.Honest, the pub where it occurred is about three minutes walk from where I live!Scary.

Cocaine Cowboys

Sunday, 28 September 2008 4:23 P GMT+10

Have been indulging in a bit of a crime-fest lately. Watched another violent DVD - true crime this time. Cocaine Cowboys is a fast-paced, compelling doco about the growth of the cocaine trade in Miami in the 70s and 80s. If you thought the gruesome a

Heat

Saturday, 27 September 2008 8:50 P GMT+10

Have been hitting the DVDs again. Watched Heat. Brilliant, atmospheric stuff. The diner scene with DeNiro and Pacino is just classic. (If you're gonna have a squizz, take a week off work. The movie's about sixteen hours long.)Interesting triv

Violence in Newtown

Friday, 26 September 2008 6:31 P GMT+10

Newtown seems to have become a magnet for violence and criminality. Just recently some poor bastard was murdered in a pizza shop on King Street (the same street an armed robbery occurred a few weeks back). About ten minutes ago I heard on the wirele

Biffo on the beach

Tuesday, 16 September 2008 2:33 P GMT+10

This alleged act of violence made the news, 'cause it involved Casey Donovan, a celeb. But heaps of similar stoushes in Sydney go under the meeja radar. Strangely, the pub in question (like so many of the venues were such events occur) is q

Maesbrook murder

Monday, 1 September 2008 12:30 P GMT+10

This is intriguing. A murdered woman has been found in a burned-out mansion in the English countryside. You know what the plods should do? Get Inspector Tom Barnaby onto the case. It's right down his alley, I reckon.

Vapid response team

Sunday, 31 August 2008 10:22 P GMT+10

One of the most ridiculously pompous TV trailers ever has to be that one for City Homicide. I'm sure you know it. It's got the cast sprinting, swaggering and embracing heroically in slo-mo. It's a cack; made funnier by the fact

Intense Sydney

Sunday, 31 August 2008 12:32 P GMT+10

I live in a very quiet street in Newtown. But all around, in close proximity, dramatic stuff happens. Recently a bank was robbed - with shots being fired - on King Street. Last night, some huge warehouse party in Camperdown got way out of control and

Safe "Cracker"

Saturday, 9 August 2008 10:20 P GMT+10

Kiwi coppers have to use a photo of Robbie Coltrane on a "wanted" poster for a teenage crim because the law says whippersnappers can't be identified. Mad.

Another lethal chick magnet

Sunday, 6 July 2008 7:32 P GMT+10

Something that has long creeped me out is the mysterious babe-pulling power of murderous men. Among many others there was Ted Buny -- a real "ladykiller" in both senses of the word. Here in Oz we've got baby-faced assassin Carl Wil
