Ever since the First Fleet dropped anchor, Australia’s ports have been a breeding ground for many of Australia’s most notorious criminals, and a magnet for local and overseas crime syndicates. From the rum trade of colonial times to modern-day drug smuggling and alongside the rise and dominance of waterfront unions, a criminal element has always found ways to survive and thrive. After a century of Royal Commissions, reports, denials and crackdowns, crime and wrongdoing in Australia’s ports remain organised, entrenched and incredibly profitable. In Waterfront, investigative journalist and former police detective Duncan McNab chronicles the larger-than-life characters who have populated Australia’s docks, wharves and ports – and lifts the lid on the crime, politics, violence and corruption that has always been present on Australia’s waterfront.
