Lawyers for a Gold Coast student facing death in Bali on drugs charges have accused the Australian government of forsaking their client. "We have lost all faith in the AFP (Australian Federal Police) and the Australian foreign ministry," Vasudeva Rasiah, a member of Schapelle Corby's legal team, said today. "They promised us they would help, but it was lip service all the way. "They have done nothing and now what do we have in her defence? Absolutely nothing." Corby, 27, of Tugun, faces the death penalty under Indonesia's tough anti-drugs laws after customs officers found a plastic zip-lock bag containing 4.2 kilograms of cannabis leaf and heads in her bodyboard b…

Drug gangs hire 'crop sitters' By Kara Lawrence January 13, 2005 ORGANISED crime syndicates are opening franchises across suburban Sydney, renting out houses and installing "crop sitters" to tend to hydroponic cannabis plantations.

A new study has up-ended popular notions that crime comes before drug use among women who end up in jail. The Australian Institute of Criminology looked at the cases of 470 women who were in jail in 2003, following on from previous research that found criminal activity tended to precede drug use. Researcher Holly Johnson found that among the case studies in the latest report, drug use more often preceded the felonies. The research found 35 per cent of women used illegal drugs prior to offending, 31 per cent began using illegal drugs and began offending within the same year and 34 per cent began offending prior to any illegal drug use. "This shows that, in general,…

Two of the Northern Territory police force's newest recruits have foiled a teenager's alleged plan to give an illicit gift to her mother. Monte and Scent from the drug dog detection unit discovered 130 grams of cannabis in the gift when they searched a flight that arrived in Nhulunbuy on Wednesday night. The 16-year-old girl and her 17-year-old boyfriend have been arrested and charged. It was the first time the labradors have been used in an operation outside Darwin, and three smaller seizures were also made in the East Arnhem Land community. http://www.abc.net.au/darwin/news/200501/s1278113.htm

Northern Territory police have issued a warning to drug users and sellers after a new unit of the force was put into operation on New Year's Eve. Police dogs Scent and Monty were on the beat and despite torrential downpours in Darwin, were able to find five nightclubbers in possession of amphetamines and cannabis. Superintendent Mark Christopher says the labradors' success will mean their continued use. "Certainly where there are people there tend to be illicit drugs, if there are illicit drugs we'll run these type of operations," he said. "The key to this is they'll be random and people won't know where to expect them." http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200501…
