Re: Police in NSW

The Police in NSW are a little bit 1950s still Corruption was rampant back then, everywhere you looked. Illegal casinos, SP betting, sly grog shops (we had 6 pm closing). The cops were the worst of the lot. I looked into joining the AFP and NSWPS. Let's just say, I wouldn't b a good fit for them
