Former pop queen grew drugs

 

FORMER pop star Allison Durbin has admitted growing and trafficking cannabis.

 

Australia's former Queen of Pop, 57, pleaded guilty to three charges in the County Court yesterday.

 

The court heard Durbin, who goes by her married name Allison Ann Giles, lists her occupation as an "entertainer on a disability pension for the last six or seven years".

 

In Melbourne Magistrates' Court last year, the faded pop sweetheart was accused of supplying cannabis to convicted drug dealer Giuseppe Dom "Joe" Barbaro, 50.

 

Barbaro's three-week-old daughter Montana was kidnapped in 2004.

 

The court heard Giles allegedly used the code word "baby" at the time when talking to Barbaro about drug deals.

 

In a phone call secretly recorded by police, Giles allegedly told Barbaro the baby was "healthy and very, very beautiful".

 

Police argued that it was a reference to her cannabis crop.

 

Last August, Barbaro was jailed for at least five years for trafficking commercial quantities of methylamphetamine and MDMA, cultivating cannabis and dealing with proceeds of crime.

 

Giles, of West Footscray, yesterday pleaded guilty to trafficking a drug of dependence between September 2003 and March 2004, cultivation of a narcotic plant between October 2003 and March 2004, and theft of electricity between February and March 2004.

 

Her defence counsel, Scott Johns, said yesterday there were some significant discrepancies between the way he and the prosecution would characterise the evidence.

 

Giles has been bailed to appear before Judge Ian Robertson in the County Court tomorrow for a pre-sentencing hearing.

never heard of her before either, but if you are going to steal electricity you should expect to get busted

Yeah she she had some hits back in the 70's plus her and John Farnham did a few duets together.
