1 y separately published work icon Ugly Phillip Mawson , Paul Fenech , Jordan King-Lacroix , Melbourne : Penguin , 2021 21858603 2021 single work autobiography

'A fighter, a protector, a figurehead, a jailbird, a son, husband and father, who started a brotherhood and has stood by it ever since

'We were about to get into it when the other soldiers pulled us apart. I didn’t care about squaring off against a Major, I was going home. I didn’t really even know what I was saying, I was just seeing red.

'‘I’ll start my own army when I get home.’

'And that’s exactly what I ended up doing.

'Living by his own rules has always been the way of Phil ‘Ugly’ Mawson. A boxer, a soldier, a bikie, a killer, he has played many roles in his life. After a yearlong stint in Vietnam, he returned to Australia feeling let down by the military and society at large. Seeking brotherhood and belonging, he found what he was looking for when he founded the first Australian chapter of the Gypsy Jokers motorcycle club. In his own words, Ugly explores the ups and downs of a life lived on the fringe and spent chasing the freedom of the open road.' (Publication summary)

No ambulance will go near Sunnyvale, so Dazza looks at alternative forms of transport — a train, taxi, and even a wheelbarrow. Angry bus drivers, closed hospitals and road raging drivers make Shazza's birth the biggest pre-natal drama since the birth of Jesus.' (Australian Television Information Archive record)
1 9 form y separately published work icon Housos Paul Fenech , ( dir. Paul Fenech ) Australia : SBS Independent , 2011 Z1816067 2011 series - publisher film/TV humour

'Housos tells the not-so-epic stories of Shazza, Dazza, Franky and Kylie - four best mates from down on the block. Sure, they drink away their problems, they might even have frequent domestics but down on the block it's all for one and one for all.

Follow the adventures of the residents of the Sunnyvale Housing Commission in every-town Australia. They battle cops and they scam Centerlink, they even have the occasional threesome and swingers party, but once you're down with the crew in the hood then it's " Sunnyvale for life".'
