Remembering Robert Walls In 2022 Robert Walls talked beautifully about life on my podcast. Later that year he stood in solidarity with campaigners for the moment of silence at the Vicki Cleary – End Men’s Violence against Women - Day. He’ll be missed. creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/cl…

‘Just another little murder’. That was the title of my 2002 book about the 1987 murder of my sister, Vicki Cleary. No one ever called Vicki’s murderer ‘evil’ during or after the trial. It’s a different story for the ‘mushroom murderer’. Tell me why.

How ironic that the only thing that could have saved Carlton’s Francis Evans from Steven May’s shoulder was taking his eye off the ball and dipping the shoulder into May. We were allowed to do that in the day. I am glad we put an end to that.

While discussing Charlie Kirk’s killing might I remind you that my sister Vicki Cleary was murdered outside her place of work by a man sentenced to less than 4 years in gaol in 1989 and the state government has rejected my request for an apology.

Reclaiming our VFA. As I told Paul Amy, that great defender of Victoria’s original football competition, the VFA, it’s time for every VFA club to reclaim their history.‘Coburg VFA’ in 2025 would be a start. If you don’t know about the VFA, just do some research. Paul Amy

With my sons, Donncadh and Ruairi, at the original Cleary cabin in Anglesboro, County Limerick, Ireland in October 2025. Sean (John) and Donncadh (Dinny) Cleary left here in October 1863. I love walking in their footsteps.
