Exactly right, he is a little bit of a mystery though,Of course, the antithesis to a garden variety boobhead.

facinating!His appearance is kind of ordinary, he could be invisible in a room full of people and just not get noticed. Not flashy but once he was wearing a suit that bagged slightly so he might have lost weight he probably couldn't afford to lose at the time. Not very tall, under six feet nor a real fast mover but looked fit enough to spring into it.
Doesn't look like he's changed his hairstyle since forever.
Doesn't give much away, guarded in that he avoided direct eye contact when we spoke. Completely.
He was connected outside of the Drug Squad, to the Feds and government intelligence agencies. He drew on those for specific 'talents' (all probably perfectly legal) and led their command when he wanted them so he was no slouch even if he might have looked like one. Appearances can be deceptive after all.
No aversion to extreme violence, like water off a ducks back but I got the impression he wasn't so hands on himself or rather 'why have dogs and bark yourself'.
Just fleeting impressions, my opinion.
There were certainly phone taps that caught him and tony mokbel together in association
He & Mark Moran have always been of interest to me.
There were phone taps and Mokbel knew he was talking to Strawhorn? That surprises me. Do you have a link? TIA.
People definitely were set up and it wasn't confined to Victoria. All it takes for a conspiracy charge with no presumption of bail that in most states can carry a life term, is essentially to get caught with the precursor. Via Strawhorn and their totally corrupt chemical diversion program.
I will try to find it, I believe it was in a few books, one Tony Mokbel was caught on phone saying he will get in touch with Wayne to adjust a fellow crims bail so it’s more relaxed & another story popped up where Strawhorn was going to invite Mokbel to a police ball i believe it was.
I found it, I knew i had some information here in a book somewhere.Thanks, I'm not sure that as evidence would hold up to prove any association. It would take more than that imo, like video where they were together or taps of an engagement. Strawhorn speaking directly one on one with Mokbel. That reads as if they knew the phones were tapped and Mokbel was trying to dump Strawhorn in it. For fun.

No, there’s not much in terms of that, just a few mentions here and there of the 2 but nothing too solid.They bumped into each other at the track? That's easy done but still not sure it proves a nefarious or business 'association'.
Thanks for that, appreciated. Which book and who wrote it?
A little bit of news out of todays hearing with Wayne Strawhorn, nothing too interesting coming out due to strawhorn naming an informer by accident that was supposed to be supressed.
Back on the stand tomorrow with Margaret McMurdo keen to keep as much of this in public as possible.

The police barrister Saul Holt even said he would go to the supreme court if these issues weren't dealt with.I'll bet they're trying to keep him quiet, what he went away for was the tip of the iceberg.
Paywalled ..

It wasn't behind a paywall for myself but the age also have a quick little write up with little information really.

There's just one big hole...Like a really bad movie script full of plot holes.
At the time, Mokbel had been arrested in Greece after he fled drug trafficking charges in Australia in which Ms Gobbo had acted as his lawyer.
Ms Gobbo was also informing on him and relaying to police the conversations she was having with him while he was imprisoned in Greece.

“2958 [one of the informer numbers given to Ms Gobbo] spoke of Mokbel trying to blackmail 2958 over sex video tapes,” her handlers wrote in February 2008.
Just who featured in the alleged sex videos was not mentioned in the documents.

Outline seems to have been restricted lately for the HS and Age and their parent companies.Andrew Rule has just done a write up about Wayne Strawhorn, sadly outline isn't working for myself.
Is anyone able to view it and subsequently post it to be read?

That is certainly one to watch!Paul Dale has been called up, should be interesting.

That is certainly one to watch!
I see there's the potential for Charlie Bezzina and Murray Gregor as well which looks like a focus on the Hodson's are coming up soon.
Very bad timing, almost all of Strawhorn was behind closed doors and “Kruger” today was aside from an hour or 2 in the morning was all behind closed doors.Whenever I've had time I check in to look at the Live Feed, they're behind closed doors. I must be unlucky.
