$78m cocaine bust at Bundaberg marina 14 November 2011
The AFP says the seizure was part of raids in Queensland and New South Wales which busted a major drug importation network.
An AFP spokeswoman says officers also seized around $3 million in cash after raids in Bundaberg, Sydney and on the Gold Coast.
———————————–
I’d seriously like a slab of that 3 million in cash, with my mates.”Not part of the evidence, Your Worship”.
Heh heh heh
You dare say ?

Indonesian prosecutors have requested a three-month jail term for an Australian teenager facing drug charges in Bali.
He was arrested early last month for allegedly buying marijuana on Bali’s Kuta beach.
The boy has been in detention since his arrest early last month and he will have to wait another two weeks behind bars while a judge considers the request.
The 14-year-old and his parents arrived at a closed session of Denpasar District Court today to hear what sentence the prosecution was seeking.
————————————————-
Gees, I think he was only buying some smoke, maybe 2 grams for a few rollies, not like he was organising an international drug cartel.
He’s a 14 y.o. kid, without the maturity and common sense of an Adult !
If I was the Judge, I’d order a very stern and loud lecture then order immediate deportation, forbidden to come back for 10 years.
You can’t put a minor in jail for a trifling offence for a substance only slightly worse than tobacco – and what about the reptile that sold it to him ? Why isn’t it under arrest ?
A 14 year old boy being arrested and detained in a Bali jail would scare the bejesus out of him. As I said, he is barely a child so where is DFAT on this ? The Australian Consulate in Bali ?
Boys make stupid mistakes (I’ve done that) and this is definitely not worth the hoopla, cold rice, rat meat and unknown vegetables for the boy.
It’s a storm in a teacup, and I recommend as above – a bit of roaring at him, some more cowering – then off the hook, to be gratefully on a Qantas flight back home.
So, who’s to blame ? Seller or the Buyer ?

The Federal Opposition says the cost of the new immigration detention centre at Wickham Point in Darwin has blown out by more than $100 million.
When Immigration Minister Chris Bowen announced the plan for the 1,500-bed centre in March he said it would cost $9.2 million for capital costs.
It was later revealed the land lease would cost a further $74 million over three years.
Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison says the tender details which have just been released show it will cost $200 million.
He says the public has been deceived.
“Well the massive blowout in cost here is for the Government to explain and they’ve refused to do so while trying to put one over on the Australian people that they were spending less than $10 million,” he said.
“Now they’re spending almost $200 million and with no explanation.”
The Government says the detention centre will be open by the end of the year.

You lot come to My Country illegally, fed with Halal food, watered, clothed and washed for free with wide screen TV, a gymnasium plus free medical and dental treatment + interpreters since you eschewed the daily English Language classes. Marvellous, I’m absolutely sure you’ll fit in.
Yet you still whine, start fires in the Detention Centres and threaten self immolation and attempted suicides.
Gees, you’re fucking lucky that you landed in the lucky country with treatment of refugees second to none.
I have to work hard and pay for my rent, my food and utilities and I’m pissed off that these people get it all for free. I should become a refugee in Australia with NO costs, a 3 star lodge + a comfortable bed. For free.
No barracks, just single rooms and free air conditioning in Darwin. Oh, don’t forget the free washed bedding.
Much better than back home, eh ?
Some people have forgotten the concepts of politeness and GRATITUDE.
We Australians hand it all for free, yet you still bite the hand that feeds. Google it, I’m really unhappy.
I wrote an email recently to the Australian Prime Minister about Australian soldiers in Afghanistan, and received a signed form letter from some Labor Senator’s office, here in China.
This time I might get even louder to my local Member of Parliament demanding further tightening of Australia’s immigration laws, defying the “beard and sandals” brigade.
It’s not funny when we have homeless people on the streets of our major cities, shaking a can, begging for coins and sleeping fully clothed on cardboard in shop fronts exposed to the elements. Denied a bed, a wash, a shave and satisfying hot meals ”because we’re full”, but our new guests can do kitchen, laundry and cleaning work for free.
Here’s a mop and a bucket, like Adidas – just do it. Any simpleton can ‘Do it’.
I’ll show you how. Hot water, detergent (like this amount, no more) swirlt it around, mop in the bucket, squeeze it off and get to work swabbing the floor.
Please tell me when this gets really difficult ? Please !
1,500-bed centre – my arse. $200 million of our money versus apartments and opportunities, vocational training for our homeless people.
I once worked as a senior software developer (2001) at a temporary hire company in Perth, Western Australia. We hired lots of semi-educated folks, called them up daily, it’s not their fault that they left high school early.
Their job was at the Arnotts Biscuit factory, packing biscuit packs into boxes then to cartons then the forklifts to the trucks. I’ll tell you so much more later.
————————————————
Do you have any idea of the amount of administrative bullshit I have to wade through in China, begging for the privelige just to stay here ? It’s staggering and you have NO idea.
Suit and tie, (very well dressed), pleasant smile and a sheaf of documents plus a mugshot photo.
——————————————
I’m furious and I’m one of the 99% of the public. My Gosh, if I was back in Australia, I would be with the beard and sandals brigade, holding up a sign in a peaceful protest and getting a ‘Move On’ instruction from the Police.
I don’t fancy being arrested. But I do fancy writing annoying polite emails to my Government demanding a reply.
I’ll let you know because the suit has to be dry cleaned in Suzhou.
I seem like a very pleasant man, but actually I have very violent thoughts and wishes that are suppressed.
Again, I don’t fancy being arrested and on trial in China.
Silence is Golden and Anger is best kept to making ulcers here in China.
It happens.

Fuck that.
Now I get replublished and I don’t have to oil and clean a real gun.

Amnesty International says the Federal Government needs to be internationally shamed into addressing poverty among Indigenous Australians.
Secretary-general Salil Shetty yesterday toured remote towns in the Northern Territory, including Utopian communities north-east of Alice Springs.
He described the plight of locals as “devastating”, saying people there are living in inhumane conditions that are almost third-world.
“I’ve been to many places in bad shape in Africa, Asia and Latin America but what makes it stark here is when you remind yourself you’re actually in one of the richest countries in the world,” he said.
“I can’t believe I’m actually in one the richest countries in the world and you have people, Aboriginal communities here who are living in conditions which are really almost inhumane,” he said.
A two-bedroom house he saw had 15 people living in it – others had no toilets or showers.
Some had been without electricity and water for months.
Mr Shetty says the Federal Government is contravening its human rights obligations.
He says the community has been stripped of funds that provide basic services, including running water, electricity, and hygiene services.
“I think it’s quite shocking that you can have this level of poverty and this level of lack of basic facilities in one of the richest countries in the world,” he said.
“Their housing … is really not suitable for habitation. They have no power, they have no basic facilities, sanitation, toilets.”
———————————————————–
My Gosh, I’m sick to death of these people pissing and moaning about their plight.
Dees White fellas, they are discriminating against us.
Yeah well :
1. Pay your electricity bills on time..
2. Pay your water bills on time.
3. Set aside $100 a week from your VERY generous handout from the Federal Government.
4. Make a septic tank (you know that a shovel works wonders – you do know what a shovel is, right ?) and connect it to your toilet like I did with a bit of uuh sweat (again you know what is sweat ?).
5. Have an alcohol free day every week.
6.There’s a completely novel concept, it’s called work and getting a job – and staying with that JOB.
Most of us tend to follow points 1 to 6 if we must.
I certainly do so.
How horrible. A real job you mean 9~5 every day ? – that’s disgusting. What about my walkabout and Corrobboree ?
Therefore we don’t whine or live in “Their housing … is really not suitable for habitation”
So whose fault is that ? Pitch a tent in the front yard and sleep in it, that’s suitable for habitation.
Get off your arse, clean up your act, get a job and stop this shit, indolent, crying in to a teacup while living in squalor. You do not lack priveleges or ‘special employment programs’.

Many years ago, I secured an Internet installation gig, set up the computer and modem for 56 K, get it connected to the Internet Service Provider on a land line (it was1989, I think).
Drive 30 kilometres to the farmhouse and do it – set it up.
Here’s the thing. The client, a lady in her late 20s was totally DEAF and she was a part time hearing impaired home based translator for the major telephone company in Australia at that time, Telecom.
We communicated via notepad to show her how to log on, how to surf the internet and how to access her email.
My normal fee for an hour was $50, because I could set up a box in 10 minutes to connect and play – at that time. Drive there, get it working on line, a bit of training, gather my fee and homeward bound.
However, I decided to spend 3 hours with her in the farmhouse late at night, very carefully teaching her how to use email and the web, for free, apart from my fee.
Did you ever help a disabled person ? Ever ?

Federal Coalition backbencher George Christensen has told Parliament he is in favour of capital punishment.
Mr Christensen, from the Queensland seat of Dawson, spoke during a motion calling on Parliament to recommit to its bipartisan condemnation of the death penalty across the world.
He says by banning the death penalty the Parliament gave the criminal an advantage over the victim.
“I may be a minority in this place when I say I too support the death penalty for terrorists and for those found guilty of the most heinous of crimes – murder of a child, particularly those involving rape, murder of an elderly person or a person with disabilities, again particularly those involving rape,” he said.
“I also say that this House of Representatives, in supporting a motion such as this before us today, fails to live up to its name.
“To be truly representative on this issue we would adhere to the views of the general public on this issue instead of the views of Amnesty International or the United Nations.”
——————-
Well, actually I don’t support hanging but I am fond of the idea of lethal injections.
It’s time to restore some spine to my legal system in Australia and STOP pandering to the beard and sandals brigade.
You kill, you rape a Grandmother or a child – you will be silenced forever. No more of this “mental impairment” bullshit as a defence, or of “uncontrollable rage”.
I am the general public, and I speak.
Oh, and I do write to my Prime Minister and I do get a reply from the Australian Government, but I’m in China. I have demands.
My Chinese adult students shudder at the idea, the very concept.
Lucky to be an Australian.
Death for serious offenders.
Stop fucking around – just do it.
Pull the lever and end of story with satisfaction with twitching feet, soiling the prison garb with shit and ejaculation.
No pleasant triple injections, then the furnace for the body.
And you ?
