Wasn't it Lebanese gangs after that?
Yeah. There were significant numbers of Lebanese and Vietnamese refugees / migrants during the late 70s and 80s due to strife in those countries. It's easy to see the similarities to the curent situation in Melbourne, and I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened in the 60s and 70s with Italian migrants being linked to the mafia.

I love that no matter what they are trying they can’t get labor is bad In Victoria to stick. Not that is matters I’m in the seat of warrandyte so yay liberal shill.

In other news gently caress Melbourne cup day. It’s a public holiday (yay!) for an animal cruelty sport funded by gambling. Also on top of that all of my mates are hanging out not even watching the race while I’m stuck at work because we should be open all the time now :/ and it’s poo poo weather. It feels like almost every public holiday more shops are opening more and more. It’s poo poo. Defeats the point of having them.

My cousin and her husband are cops. He went on a pro trump rant at a family lunch and then tried to heavy my 75 year old mother when she called him out. gently caress cops who cares if they're family. Also cops don't work in "justice".

E: he loving hates Sudanese people as well. Like, vitriolic blind hatred. He's a senior cop and I'm sure he really instills good and noble justice principles in his underlings. He looks absolutely furious when I talk about Sudanese workers and how much they own and are wonderful people.

It literally exists only as a semi random number generator for betting on. Without the gambling it would simply vanish

The horse racing wouldn't exist if you took the gambling out of it. Nobody watches it for fun.

Still, I approve of this plan.
