An 80-year-old man who has served 25 years in a Perth jail for the murder of 14-year-old Sharon Lee Mason will be deported back to the UK, says WA Attorney-General John Quigley.

Arthur Boycott Greer was convicted of the crime that haunted Perth after the schoolgirl disappeared in 1983 on her way home to the Perth southern suburb of Mosman Park. Nearly a decade after her disappearance, Sharon’s body was discovered in 1992 by a bobcat operator carrying out earthworks behind a clothing shop formerly owned by Greer.

Greer had a long criminal record and was found guilty of the girl’s murder after two trials. But Greer always denied the prosecution’s case that Sharon had entered his shop looking for casual work.

This bloke should either never have been let into Australia, or should have been booted out after his first offence.


More blood on the Apologists hands

that keeps coming up.

Probably nothing back before 1983. I can't get the link to work so I can't get any background. We were pretty relaxed about immigration back in the day. I'm just glad he's going.

I have no idea who was an apologist for what.   Perhaps its a brain snap?  For perhaps miketrees thought that he had a long criminal history prior to coming to Australia, and got let in regardless? 

And also, can someone confirm that back then you don't need a visa to come into Australia from England right?

Who said he had a prior record before coming to Australia?

I haven't read that anywhere, and that's why I'm a little confused about the thread title.

What does the OP know about the murderer, that we don't know, that would have prevented him from being able to enter Australia?

I still don't get it.

I'm not saying he had a prior. He might have. What I'm saying is that Australia had a very relaxed immigration policy in the past. Here's a story- my mate was a antique dealer for years and he purchased a full SS uniform (Hitler Youth dagger and all) from a former SS soldier who lived in Fairfield Sydney. Now if he could get out here anybody could. This is why we are having such a bad Lebbo problem.

Without a time machine, how are you supposed to know that someone WILL commit a crime ahead of time especially without a criminal record?

Jasin wrote on May 10^th, 2018 at 3:51pm:



He The bastard murdered the girl here in Australia, though.

I've seen nothing that says he was a criminal in the UK.

Thus, the thread title makes no sense.

I'd love to know if he did have a criminal history before  he came here. Most psychos start young. There's a job for you Pecca- find out the truth.

Mr Hammer wrote on May 10^th, 2018 at 4:09pm:


The onus is on you(or the OP) to show that he did have a criminal record in the UK.

I've read nothing that says he did.

The thread title "How did this arsehole get into oz" is meaningless.

He got in by plane, I guess. Or maybe a boat.

They were pretty relaxed back in the day. There were no computers to look a record up before the 80's.

I looked him up and he's from Belfast. If he came out here in the 60's or 70's it probably had something to do with the troubles. The IRA or the Unionists executed bad crimos. Especially sexual psychos. I'd like to know his history but I can't find it. So many people were getting put in the can in Northern Ireland during the 60's and 70's it's probably impossible to find anyway. Bad crims just don't get to 60 and decide to do a bunch of serious crime. He'd have a history for sure. All bad crims do.

Knob heads,, its simple.

He would not have got a record in prison.

So He had  a record, apparently. So if he got it in UK he should have stayed there, if he got the record here he should have been sent back there.

Its not #@cking rocket surgery.

Either way he should not have been in Australia murdering people.

It's fairly standard for reffos to be criminal before they come to Australia

That's why they destroy their documents

They are criminals who are fleeing arrest for things like rape and murder.

Then they come to Australia and start afresh

But they can't help themselves and soon get involved in the same activities as before.

That's why so many reffos keep getting arrested for perverted practices.

The scum of the earth

Muzzos who rape and murder
Perverted Indians
Sexual assault
The list goes on
And the Australian grubberment want to bring more here.

What is wrong with our grubberment?

Howe do you know he had no criminal record?

On a plane with a passport and a visa.... that's how most of them get in.  The boaties are rarely if ever criminals and such.
