I’m a crime reporter for a weekly newspaper in Australia’s crime capital and my Sundays are usually a bit different. Sunday is typically the day I wake bleary-eyed to the sound of my ringing mobile closely followed by a spray of invective from some heavy character or other. Sometimes it’s a colourful kickboxer or a colourful nightclub figure or a colourful race track identity who doesn’t like what I’ve written about him in that day’s paper. Sometime the unhappy customers who ruin my Sunday aren’t colourful at all – just angry criminals who have been convicted of serious offences. On the scariest Sundays the voice on the line belongs to Roberta Williams. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Liam Houlihan) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/badlands-getting-on-the-wrong-side-of-fat-boy/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/badlands-getting-on-the-wrong-side-of-fat-boy/#item3682 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 19:42:52 +0000 Liam Houlihan | Author bios | The Punch
