The Beat: A True Account Of The Bondi Gay Murders - Plot & Excerpts
Members kind of drift in (once their credentials have been established) and stay for a while before moving on. Sometimes the ‘moving on’ is voluntary: parents move house, the gang member leaves the area because of work or the location of a girlfriend or because they’re the target of unwelcome attention from the police or from other gang members. Sometimes they leave through no choice of their own, arrested and sent to prison or a juvenile detention centre. When the move is involuntary the gang member usually comes back at the end of their ‘time’ but, more often than not, when they do return they find that things have changed while they’ve been away, the hierarchy has changed, liaisons have realigned in their absence, personnel (never a stable element in the first place) has changed, the hangouts are different. At some time or another it seems that everyone is at least temporarily away from the core gang. The core gang members of the Bondi Boys circa 1989, however, had been well documented and those who were still around were subject to surveillance by the officers from Operation Taradale.
