underbelly.tale of two cities - cheeky - 09-02-2009
well i have grown up in griffith and experienced alot of sights..heard of killings.people being dragged out of murrumbidgee river without ears..at the same time a killer peodofile on the loose.killed 3 children.buried 2 of them not far from where i live.
don mackay was a good man..not once did he ever hold a rally..the first 5 mins of underbelly was so wrong but thats what brings in ratings..
my hubby belonged too the same rotary as don.. it really devestated the communtity. i was involed with barbra the wife with the church and choir.
she died never knowing what happened too her hub..the rumours where there was a roo mincer in town and he went through that,also he went through local cement making factory.
as a kid you always got labeld.."oh your from griffith .got any dope?"
hmm it sells ratings!

Like the 1st series, I thought that it was a good 1st episode, however, I don't know if the characters in this series can carry the drama that the 1st one did. I hope they prove me wrong because I'm really looking forward to it.

I have a mate who did some bag carrying work for Abe Safron, one of the heavies in Sydney. He told me years ago that poor old Don went into a mincer.
Who said you have to watch SBS for soft porn, the Underbelly series certainly keep the "boys" entertained. Bent coppers are worse than crims. At least the crims are crims, bent coppers are pretending to be the good guys. Happily after Commissions of enquiry a lot of the corrupt coppers were rooted out and did time in gaol - where they belonged.
This is not designed to re-open the cop bashing shit thread. Just a footnote that around those days there was a lot of back handed policing.
