Captain Australia’s Crime Fighting Journal, Entry#78

I went on patrol on friday night, and was able to take some video.  I met some lovely people like my friends in the photograph below, as well as some horrible, cruel and vicious people.   For the most part it was uneventful, although it made me realise that it’s actually more important that I successfully connect to the horrible and cruel than the nice & decent.

I met some abusive and unpleasant people on friday night, and I don’t think I did a good job of explaining my mission to them.  I have to find a way to do a better job of turning them around.

Personal Journal: Brief TV Appearance

by Captain Australia on August 24, 2010

I am just making a brief personal journal entry to note that on Monday 23 August I briefly appeared on the TV program Today Tonight on Channel 7, in connection with a story about Matthew Newton’s being dropped from the X-FACTOR show.  I featured again on Thursday 26 August.


If you visit the Today Tonight website, and click on the VIDEO tab, you’ll find the story titled “X-Factor television scandal”  – I appear toward the latter part of the story, shaking Matthew’s hand back-stage at the X-FACTOR recording.  (A day I still think back to with a smile – I’m looking forward to it being screened next week).

If you’d like to you can read my latest Activity Report, or read about the X-FACTOR audition day.

This weekend I will patrol Brisbane, and thankfully my videographer is free, so I will be able to provide video documentation.  I think I will actively start recruiting for a side-kick from the people that I meet, someone who can fill the persona of “Boomerang Boy” or “Kangaroo Kid”.

I’m imagining a teen or young man of indigenous background, ideally very lean and lanky – if you’ve seen the movie Nacho Libre, I’m thinking my ideal sidekick would be like the wiry mexican sidekick who helped Nacho.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi

Captain Australia’s Crime Fighting Journal, Entry#77
I patrolled last night for 10 hours.  The young man who has been helping me take video of my experiences was again unavailable – his life is changing now, and I’m finding it harder to convince him to spend a night walking the streets in support of my Mission.  (Again, [...]

Captain Australia’s Crime Fighting Journal, Entry#76
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve had the time to patrol.  Captain Australia has been hiding under the surface while the day-to-day life of my secret identity has taken over.  With a high-demand job in Corporate Australia, a pregnant wife and a toddler son, I have had to [...]

Brisbane Patrol on 30/31 July 2010

by Captain Australia31 July 2010

Captain Australia’s Crime Fighting Journal, Entry#75

I patrolled the City and Valley last night from shortly before midnight until around five o’clock in the morning.  Regrettably, my videographer (who sometimes helps me with filming my experiences as a vigilante crimefighter) was not available.
It is my hope to get some higher tech camera/surveillance equipment, but I also [...]

On saturday, I visited a church group who were staging a Sleep on the Streets event to help the homeless in Australia.  I’d urge you to visit their website, and make a donation if you can spare something – every little piece counts.
That evening, I met a group of people, [...]
