● Brett Quine ■ Corrput forces have gacked into the crime-fighting website of independent journalist Brett Quine. Quine co-authored a book, Kill The Morans, which has sold 12,000 copies. It is not available in Victoria because of current and ongoing court cases. Quine points to the possibility that a corrupt group of Victoria police could be responsible for the ‘cyber-hacking’. “The only people who have anything to really fear from its popularity are highly positioned corrupt police and officials,” says Quine, who also runs a bar in innersuburban Melbourne. “I consider it far from a joke that certain charges were only laid after the script was sent to every publisher in Australia.” Quine says he believes that corrupt journalists are possibly involved, as the book names “a few of the frauds”. He is soon to launch a new website: www.outlawsbulletin.com
