    Recently watched a TikTok clip talking about his dad and I wanted to know more so came to the original source of this video which was linked. I had no idea who he was or what it was about but I was completely engaged. What an interesting man with one hell of a life story.

      You just hit the old proverbial nail right on the head. Being in and about it for over 35 yrs .up our way they legalized it and tobacconists up newcastle in real close proximity & each was pulling 50 large perday all good its legal legitimate ...NO NO NO.no dolls for bike groups to pay police to pay politicians. Thats the only reason they were criminalised again.no teenie is gunna find any satisfaction in asking dr for sum drug (up.down and round & round.inbetween and very mean) then have nurse at chemist administer it come back in 15 min then 1 hr to observe to gauge individual responces.TAKE CRIMINALITY OUT OF DRUGS FUCK IT WOULD BE CLASSED A MEDICINE IF A DR DEALT IT. FURTHER MORE BUT OUR KIDS MATTER AND OVER 90% OF PRISONERS ARE IN FOR DRUG RELATED CRIMES VERY SADELY BUT THEY ARE SOMEONES KIDS AND THEY ALL MATTER .LOVE UR STUFF

    This interviewer is pretty bloody good. Good because this man has a lot to say - the sort of bloke you could listen to talk all day, and the interviewer let's him go - not like a lot of them who can't wait to get a word in. He speaks only when required. Get Abo on again! :)

    Good or bad, this bloke is a diamond. Me, being a person who has always tried to be an honest guy but who is a morally weak person, know that I do have a bent side that I 've acted upon occasionally. There is no way that I'd try to compare to this story with mine but ................ what a fantastic life this man has carved for himself. Arriving in Sydney in the mid-eighties from the UK, my first job was with a large Ford dealership as a Fleet Salesman within the Cross area. Sometimes things would happen that I noticed that included pick-ups for bookies by my fellow salesmen that I took no notice of - ish. Things happened that I was not used to in the sheltered Pommie life that I'd led. EG, I was getting excited about a potential 4 car deal with an Eastern Suburbs company when some of my Fleet companions sidled up to me and murmured that I was wasting my time. Two days later, the owner of the biz was dead. Phew, a wakeup call for me. I soon learned that life in Sydney was a lot different and that some of the names that Abo talks about were, at that time, very real. This is a brilliant interview with a fabulous character and may he live out the rest of his life in peace.

    The part about his mum staying with his dad is true and sad , I grew up the same way and my mum and I would stay in motels sometimes weeks at a time and then she would take him back, even to the point we moved out and got our own house and in 3 months he’d moved in with us.

    I was a soldier for many years , deployed with the infantry RNZIR XCOY NZ BATT6 2002 . Abo Henry would have been an outstanding soldier, he reminds me of an old school Regimental Sargent Major . Switched on , street smart , sixth sense , vicious and loyal as a cattle dog . All of us old school soldiers ( good ones that is .. proper shooters ) are the same . He would have fit in perfectly. Great talk .

    Generational trauma right here. Thank goodness he broke the cycle with his own children and wife. I know what it's like to have these things happen. I was molested when I was a young girl by a family member, learnt years later the man that did that to me had been sexually abused when he was a young child. A lot more people are becoming aware of this vicious cycle and making conscience moves to heal deep rooted trauma so we are not affecting generations after us. Great interview.
