Hearing told of SP’s aliases

MELBOURNE: A leading starting-price bookmaker had at least four aliases in NSW and two other names in Queensland, the Royal commission into the Federated Ship Painters’ and Dockers’ Union was told yesterday.

Counsel assisting the commission, Mr Rex Wild, said the man had been arrested and convicted of using premises for betting under three different names in Victoria and NSW between 1973 and 1983. Evidence produced by Mr Wild showed that the man, who lives in Melbourne, leased seven properties in NSW and Queensland from June 1978 to June this year.

The man, who the commission has been told is one of Australia’s biggest SP bookmakers, is facing charges of illegal betting in Queensland.

Although he was identified by three witnesses and sworn in at the commission yesterday, he gave no evidence, and his real name and that of his wife and a

company he operated were suppressed.

The Royal commissioner, Mr Frank Costigan, QC, told the man’s barrister, Dr Cliff Pannam, QC, that he felt “uneasy” about allowing the man to go into the witness box when he was facing charges in Queensland.

Mr Pannam said that should his client be called to give evidence there were several lines of questioning which he would maintain were not relevant to the commission’s terms of reference, including tax affairs.

Sergeant Kelvin John Fleming said that as a member of the NSW special gaming squad he had arrested the bookmaker at Bexley on February 5 and March 5.

The man had given his name and address as Ross James Hunter, of Fleet Street, Carlton, NSW. He had pleaded guilty to charges of place betting and had been fined.

The man had been arrested earlier in November, 1982, in Bexley. Fingerprint tests subsequently had shown an arrest in August, 1980, at an unspecified address under the name Brian Edward Williams.

R.I.P. STEVE HEARN

From Rick Del Monte regarding the passing of Steve Hearn.

RICK’S MESSAGE.

Could you let the group know that ex-cadet Steve Hearn passed away last night. He had just turned 60 in January of this year and was surrounded by family when he passed.

Steve had not been well having contracted Motor Neuron Disease (MND) some years ago and eventually succumbed to it.

He is survived by his beautiful, caring wife Ingrid and his much loved 10 year old son Brandon.

Kevin Clews and I visited Steve late last year and although he was immobile, he retained his quick wit and brilliant sense of humour.

Funeral arrangements are yet to be confirmed however, I will let you know once details are known in case any of the group wanted to pay their respects.

A truly wonderful bloke, a proud man and a loving husband and father. Another good one gone – a true friend now resting. Thanks mate. Rick

Rick Del Monte

Steve had been battling Motor Neuron disease for the past 9 years and he leaves behind his wife and a 10 year old son.
Steve – now out of pain.

It was only a month ago that Rick asked the question:
Rick Lettice

Not a nice subject guys but can I ask a question that someone could answer? Unfortunately I am suffering advanced cancer with not much chance of recovering.
My question is …is there any assistance out there from the Police Association or RPA for my wife to assist in my pension being transferred over to her when I pass?

Thanking you in advance.
Rick Lettice

Sad that one has to think of these things when you know that the inevitable is coming.

Son of Donald George & June Patricia FLAVEL, elder brother to Alan.

From Alan Flavel  7 March 2020:

My eldest brother was driving, they were returning to Sydney for Robert to start back at the Academy on the Monday.

Our Grandmother was in hospital in Cowra, and Robert wanted to see her on the way back to Sydney, which they did.  As they were coming into Blayney on the return to Sydney, a car lost control on a bend and was sideways down the road, this was about 1410 and a School Bus was letting children off on the side of the road…they had the choice to swerve and hit the bus full of kids…or take the impact of the out of control car head-on…. which is what they say Robert demanded,  Robert assisted post-accident in helping both vehicles before collapsing on the roadway and never regaining consciousness…. Robert was pronounced dead in Orange Base Hospital approx. 0130 on Monday 24th September.
