Kalgoorlie has the containment policy - i nursed up there for a couple of years during this time. The containmant policy is a by law - meaning corruption can go on just as long as you pay your dues weekly to the coppers. I nursed old madams who confided in me as to how it works. I beleive Mt Iza has a containment policy also. Its literally the wild west out there and isnt for the feighnt hearted. Thats how Hancock made all that money - getting paid off to turn a blind eye.
Ben Harvey is a living Australian legend with big balls.❤ all your work my brother.I just hope I don't become a target for leaving a comment.greetings from Adelaide m8.
Great chat guys, I remember all this so well. Reminds me of Avon Lovell’s book about the swindle. My first ‘girlfriend’ in primary school was one of the Micklebergs daughters!
Thanks guys. I'm from Qld & it's the first time I've heard this story, and yes we have had more than our fair share of corrupt cops. This cop was definately a "Duck" in my book. I want to see the crims put away as much as anyone else, but nothing gets under my skin more than a cop who verbals someone just to help themselves and or their "Careers". I'm not too sure how "innocent" his mate was either. Remember, "When you lay down with dogs you get fleas!" Roger Rogerson was proof of that concept. As for the number of Bikies, they were only "pretend" outlaws once upon a time! Now we have given them "official" outlaw status and they and their ilk, love it!
yeah cos nobody knows about Bowraville. How much more investigative resources do u wanna waste on that one? They know who did it and they are never gonna get a conviction so that's that. Shit, but it is what it is. 🤷
Ben Harvey is the man when it comes to old school Perth reportering, pre 2006 the gangster days I like to call them , things were a lot different back those days Benny gets it
I can remember this well I also seem to remember an allegation that Grierson, in part of his exchange, with Hancock said words to the effect, he was going to rape the daughter to teach hancock a lesson sort of thing, so Hancock shot him……… Whether it’s true or not, who knows, I remember that being reported around that time ……..
Hancock must have been off his head to think he was untouchable
The bastard paid the ultimate price for that bit of conceit
Bent cop got his just deserts - RIP Billy.
Awesome to see more of Ben Harvey! His reporting & early up lates are the entire reason I started paying for the West. Bloke is a weapon, onya Ben.
Is Ben still doing Up Late? Is it just behind the West paywall? I'd pay serious money to have a beer with him
Crooked cops make me sick .
WA is full of them and Much worse
Brilliant re-enactment of events and proceedings.
I’m a boulder boy, never was a bikie but knew Billy and he was a good bloke. I also know some good stories about Hancock that would blow your mind.
So many names I haven't heard for years. Great video...I miss Perth in the late 90's. Feeling very nostalgic.
How did a police officer come by the money to have all these assets
What do you reckon m8 , an inheritance , a lottery win , sound investments . . . wait for it, corruption .
And I quote, ''When we steal gold, we steal it by the kilo''.
Gold went missing on plane to Perth some years earlier.9

oh what a tangled web we weave ....
You been watching to much Netflix
@@jmx318 The quote only pre-dates Netflix by 190 years !
Brilliant. Thanks
When is 'Up Late' coming back. I miss it so much.
Great interview 👏👏👏
Who doesn’t love Ben Harvey …..this pod cast was so good…..they didn’t speak on top off 1 another…….enjoyed it ……..
WA really was the wild west. I moved here in 1998 and it was mental with all the bikie stuff all up until about 10 years ago
W.A.s very own Roger Rogerson. This guy was as crooked as they come.
He had the same smirk and confident swagger as Rogerson, as well.
brilliant , thankyou
Great insight into the world of criminal world
Excellent work.
Wondering if Syd Reid is watching this some where in the world right now
I hope maggots have eaten him alive very slowly from his R'shole first .
Nah mate he's here,he's lives a couple house down the road from me,we play lawn bowls together.
@@johnbravo7542😂
This is better than watching days of our lives soo entertaining brilliant 👏 😀
I always thought they would make an underbelly series about this one
Very interesting they have never made an underbelly series about anything in WA
Hancock stitched up the Mickleberg brothers.
Something fishy with the cops in Tasmania through the ninetees ROYAL COMMISSION PLEASE

Hello! I just found you guys, due what the podcast is called and I'm Australian too! I look forward to checking out your podcasts.
Didn't know the Jokers have been in Australia for so long, they were in Portland, Oregon USA back in the 70s. Where did they begin?
This is utube here, try google instead perhaps Mate
A ' link' is provided = between the seat you sit on, and yer keyboard......
1956 in USA, 1969 in Aus
They were active in Sydney in the early 70s
San Francisco
81 Oakland moved the.Jokers out of Town and Portland become theirs.
Fascinating stuff, I was living out of the country when this set of events happened and didn't hear about it.
Billy and a friend from school Darren became friends and police harassed my mate for years afterwards
I remember all of this,I was really fasinated with the car bombing was in my late teens at the time.
Thank's for this video very interesting.

WA back in the day, wow. There's a brilliant mini series or movie just waiting to be made about this explosive era in Australia's history.
Well, it might be worth while checking out the series we made here - ua-cam.com/video/GC7YjCb7i7U/v-deo.html
@@TheWestAustralian thanks for the heads up. I will certainly check it out.
Could you guys look into the Bowraville murders cause the trueth needs to get out hope you do I will be keeping an ear out for it Please 🙏
yeah cos nobody knows about Bowraville. How much more investigative resources do u wanna waste on that one? They know who did it and they are never gonna get a conviction so that's that. Shit, but it is what it is. 🤷
WHY EVERY ONE TREATS BIKERS LIKE ROYAL STARS ..SCUMBAGS AND BULLYS
Ben Harvey is the man when it comes to old school Perth reportering, pre 2006 the gangster days I like to call them , things were a lot different back those days Benny gets it
