CONCLUSION 164 v EXPLANATORY NOTES The amalgamation of the New South Wales Police Force (operations) and the New South Wales Police Department (policy and administrative support) into a single entity known as the New South Wales Police Service, commenced in June 1987. This was formalised by the Police Service Act 1990 (NSW) which came into effect on 1 July 1990. Throughout this Report, the organisation is generally referred to as ‘the Service’ or ‘the Police Service’. All legislation referred to is NSW legislation unless otherwise indicated. The Commission was assisted by a number of consultants who prepared research papers on matters of relevance, in particular Dr Janet Chan, Dr David Dixon, Mr Mark Finnane and Mr Chris Cunneen. The employee associations for sworn officers of the NSW Police Service are the Police Association of New South Wales, for non-commissioned officers, and the Commissioned Police Officers’ Association for commissioned officers. Throughout this Report they will be referred to as ‘the Associations’ or ‘the Police Associations’. A reference to ‘the Police Association’ (singular) is a reference to the Police Association of New South Wales. vi ABBREVIATIONS USED IN THIS REPORT Abbreviations are for NSW organisations unless otherwise stated.

  • The National Crime Authority
    CHAPTER 1 WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL CRIME AUTHORITY Maybe it was who you knew, not what you knew, that would help you get ahead in the Force. In the early 1980s in Sydney, drug dealing was big—it still is. In 1981, the infamous drug dealer and armed robber, Warren Lanfranchi, was wanted nationally for the attempted murder of a traffic cop in Sydney. When Lanfranchi aimed the shot, the firing pin jammed in the hammer of his revolver, which saved the life of the traffic cop that day. Lanfranchi became a prime target of the New South Wales Police Force. My partner Schuey and I had information that Lanfranchi sold heroin on behalf of the notorious drug kingpin Neddy Smith to Aborigines who hung out at the Everleigh Hotel. The Everleigh was in the area called The Block in inner-city Redfern. Warren Lanfranchi was a creature of habit. If he wasn’t at The Block tormenting drug addicted Aborigines, he wouldn’t be too far away. It was a matter of hitting the place a couple of times to catch him. So, dressed in jeans and T-shirts, Schuey and I bowled through the Everleigh Hotel searching for him. We were the only two white guys in the dump. 13 DIRTY WORK The locals did not welcome our arrival. In fact, they were hostile, shouting and mouthing threats under their breath, until the loudest loudmouth in the place accidentally fell from his barstool and landed on his arse. After that it was dead quiet. Schuey and I searched the pub high and low for Lanfranchi.

  • Legislative Council
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ORAL HISTORY PROJECT LC Members Ante-Room, Parliament House, Sydney Wednesday 12 September 2018 The discussion commenced at 10:00 am PRESENT Mr David Blunt Dr David Clune Mr Richard Jones Wednesday, 12 September 2018 Legislative Council Page 1 Dr CLUNE: How did you become a member of the Legislative Council? Mr JONES: I got involved in politics back in 1971-72 when I was trying to stop the destruction of Myall Lakes, which is now a national park. I wrote back and forth to Premier Robin Askin, as he was then. He said, "Well, you may know about publishing, Mr Jones, but you know nothing about politics", which was like a red rag to a bull. So I abandoned my career and that new trail led me to standing for the Legislative Council in 1988. I gave up an extremely highly paid job back in 1972 to campaign for the environment. I was at the top of my earning capacity. I was general manager of Hamlyn House. I had a property portfolio I was building up as well. Anyway, I gave all that up. I was approached by Armon Hicks, who was Lis Kirkby's offsider, to stand for the upper House back in 1984. He said, "Would you like to be an MLC?" I said, "I would rather be a senator actually", just jokingly. He said, "If you want to be an MLC follow this path. First of all you have to stand for the lower House. You have to stand in the next election"—which was 1984—"for Warringah", where I got about six per cent.

  • Hello and Thank You for Your Interest. I Want to Provide You with Information
    Hello and thank you for your interest. I want to provide you with information about my legal background. I have been practicing law in state and federal trial and appellate courts since 1988. Although my interests and experience run a wide range, my primary areas of focus center around civil rights work, employment and labor issues, and protecting the rights of individuals whose rights have even violated by others, typically governmental actors and large private employers. I have extensive trial experience in these types of cases, and I invite you to look up the numerous reported cases that I have handled. A sample of several of the cases I have handled is attached, and these cases involve various civil, employment and commercial matters, including constitutional rights, discrimination, employment law and sundry types of commercial disputes, such as antitrust, securities, and contract cases. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. 14-CV-8065 (VEC) UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK Airday v. City of New York 406 F.
