Cameron Don Time for Truth: Antonio Bellino Tells it as it is/ Don Cameron and Antonio Bellino (1326957244)
Time For Truth is the amazing true story of Brisbane's so-called infamous Mafia Don, Antonio (Tony) Bellino. Named by the Fitzgerald Inquiry as one of five people of interest who were allegedly involved in corrupting the Police Force. On 12 May 1987 Tony was accused of involvement in: drugs, prostitution, illegal gambling, corrupting police, sly grog, Mafia connections and bird smuggling overseas. Tony was flabbergasted, are you serious even Al Capone didn't do all these things!The Fitzgerald Inquiry took two and a half years to complete and Tony was never charged nor an apology provided, he is still waiting for his name to be cleared. Tony Bellino's story is powerful as it is starkly relevant to this day. It is sometimes amusing, often violent, it highlights some of Australia's double standards of race priority and tall poppy successes as well as the age-old injustice of 'guilt by association'.
