...successful N.S.W. political "m-aaa-tes", most of whom were incubated in trade unions and the party's Sussex Street hatchery in Sydney. They belong to different Labor factions, even sub-factions. They come from various parts of Sydney (God's own Sutherland Shire, the hommos belt of Canterbury-Bankstown) and the state (the whitebread Hunter and Central Coast regions). Variously Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians or Jews, who presumably barrack for the Dragons, Knights, Sharks, Roosters and Bulldogs, they are a mix of lawyers, engineers and political hacks...
...feelings of betrayal and disappointment. I can't change a system that's sick. Steve Waugh came out and said Australia could win without me. Well, who got us back in the series? Tugger was dead to me after he said that. He's from Bankstown. Votes Liberal. Not a real Westie...
...team may pose as a unit on NBC, but down here it was comprised of a core at the Village with several of these brilliant satellites in orbit.

She holed up with her handlers and family in a just-built apartment complex in the working-class suburb of Bankstown. Two-by-fours still littered the yard; a Dumpster out front hadn't yet been carted away. Hunter, a taciturn 320-pounder who likes the kitchen a lot, did most of the cooking. (He had the time, as knee surgery had forced him to withdraw from the shot-put competition.) After breakfast, Jones reported to a nearby...
Jones went to Bankstown, Greene went to the beach; he wouldn't be caught dead where nobody could find him. He is a showboater, a character. He works hard to burnish a high-gloss image as the gum-popping, strutting leader of coach John Smith's Handling Speed Intelligently team, a stable of hip-hop athletes who train at UCLA's Drake Stadium and hang together in the off-hours. In a strategy similar to the Jones camp's, the honchos at H.S.I. sought to approximate L.A. in Sydney by renting a beach house in Coogee. Sharing it were four...
