![She had also been criticised for overturning a deportation order and granting a visa in 2005 to Francesco Madafferi who had been implicated by Italian officials as a dangerous mafia figure.[8] In fact Madafferi is thought to be a member of the Calabrian 'Ndrangheta, known by the name Honoured Society in Australia, which, although similar, is a crime organization distinct from the Sicilian Mafia (however, common usage is to lump all such organizations together as Mafia). Francesco and his brother Antonio ("Tony") Madafferi, a stall holder in Melbourne's Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable market (known to have been controlled by the Honoured Society), were alleged in a report by Victoria Police's organised crime squad to belong to a crime family involved in blackmail, extortion and murder. The report was aired in 2000 at a court hearing during Francesco's fight against deportation, but was later dismissed by an Administrative Appeals Tribunal judge as containing information from unnamed and possibly unreliable police informers. Vanstone justified her decision to grant Madafferi a visa because of a mental illness he was said to be suffering. However it is alleged that relatives and associates of Madafferi donated up to $100,000 to the Liberal Party, and that four Liberal party politicians had discussed the visa case with Madafferi's supporters or Vanstone's office.[9] In August 2008, Madafferi was arrested and charged, along with several of Australia's other suspected crime bosses (including Australian 'Ndrangheta boss Pasquale "Pat" Barbaro), after Australian Federal Police made the world's biggest ecstasy haul, seizing drugs with a street value of $440 million.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tcklehpnsyvk6pww4u7ehszr/bafkreiep2gt2o3sntu3hkebdte2i4y7cxdmitukzuaqv2y2di77yrc4j2e@jpeg)

My late mother-in-law had a purple XU-1 in the early eighties. Neither of us drove so she used to drive the three of us between Leeton and Narrandera at about 150km/h.

Oh no. Turns out being unable to have your own home makes everything else seem significantly more monochrome in this glittering present of living 10 years longer and having more income.

In matters such as this I like to refer to my well worn copy of Australian National Government by L.F. Crisp (5th ed. 1983) Section 4, Chapter 12. You're welcome.
