"We're Burke's and we don't take charity.."

Noeline Burke was a former inmate of Wentworth Detention Centre.

Noeline was in and out of Wentworth Detention Centre a few times, usually for burglary or petty theft.

She came from a family of criminals, who didn't like to take charity, they just liked to take everything else. Noeline got under the skin of everyone prisoners and staff alike. 

Noeline was eventually sent to Barnhurst after the death of her daughter.

Time At Wentworth[]

Noeline was asked by police to talk her slow brother Col into giving himself up after a failed robbery. Noeline was understandably upset when he was shot dead by police.

Noeline was released soon after, but returned to Wentworth again after a robbery with her daughter Leanne went wrong. Again, Noeline was released a while later.

Noeline returned to Wentworth after stealing money from her workplace, which she attempted to trash when the police arrived to tell her that Leanne had fallen to her death off the roof of Wentworth during a protest - on this stretch in Wentworth, she was the only prisoner who was not on loss of privileges for their involvement in the protest, as she arrived after it happened. She immediately got to work stealing cigarettes and selling them to inmates at ludicrous prices. Noeline was given the opportunity to be part of the work release program that took place at a nearby textile factory. Noeline used the opportunity to steal (naturally) and was reported by Kay White, who had been stealing since the beginning and her and Noeline were accomplices.

Noeline was then transferred to a country prison (Barnhurst) for her own protection, without saying goodbye to anyone (otherwise known as Shanghai-ed). She is never mentioned again by any of the prisoners.
