I'm a fan of the frank honesty of Uncle Jack Charles:

> His criminal life saw him break into many homes in the "posher districts of Melbourne" - a deliberate choice, he says: "I robbed as rent collection for stolen Aboriginal land!"

> "Those mansions were on my mother's land, but I'm sure if I told the judge I was a rent collector, not a robber, I'd have been given another two years on my sentence."

( Bastardry (2008) is a funny and moving biographical documentry )
