Summary

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Ron Isherwood was literally born into crime. His father was a member of the feared Painters and Dockers Union of Victoria, which had deep connections to the underworld.

The Painters and Dockers of Ron's father's day were among the most infamous criminals this country has ever seen.

As a kid, Ron was groomed to follow in their footsteps. He joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about the hard lessons he's learned over the journey and his passion for helping others.
