More than 250kg of cocaine found in Brisbane shipping container as police foil $82 million drug plot

Australian police have seized more than 250 kilograms of cocaine worth more than $80 million from a single shipping container in Brisbane. With an estimated street value of about $82 million, the illicit packages were discovered during a cargo screening operation late last month. The bust was a joint operation between Australian Border Force (ABF) and Australian Federal Police (AFP). "To those criminal syndicates who mistakenly believe they can infiltrate our borders with illicit drugs, let this serve as a powerful warning," ABF Commander Troy Sokoloff said. "The ABF, in close collaboration with the AFP, have eyes and ears everywhere." Border force officers conducted an X-ray on the container's cargo after receiving a tip-off about its contents. The container was transporting bags of packing plastic, but among its contents were five carry bags that tested positive for cocaine. Further forensic testing by the AFP later confirmed the bags contained 253kg of cocaine. "I want to commend the highly skilled officers in our supply chain and cargo teams who were vital to the interdiction of this dangerous consignment, thereby preventing significant community harm," Commander Sokoloff said. A federal police investigation into the origin of the illicit drugs is ongoing. "There are people who will have information that can assist this investigation and we urge them to come forward," AFP Detective Acting Superintendent Adrian Telfer said.

Woman sexually abused daughter to satisfy husband, Perth court told

WARNING: This story contains graphic and distressing content. A woman has gone on trial in Perth for allegedly sexually abusing her daughter in a case her own lawyer has described as "confronting" and "disturbing". The mother, who is now 41, allegedly engaged in sexual acts with her prepubescent daughter along with her husband, who had expressed an interest in incest at an early stage in their relationship. Prosecutor Sean Stocks said the girl, who is now a teenager, was a "sexual plaything" for the mother and her husband, with abuse occurring several times a week after they arrived in Australia. The District Court heard the mother, who lived in another country with her eight-year-old daughter, started communicating with the Perth man online in 2016. Prosecutor Sean Stocks said the mother took photos of her child engaged in sexual acts, and used live-streaming "to satisfy his sexual fantasies". As the complainant grew up, the court heard, the man asked his partner: "What do you think about me liking our daughter the way I do?" "I like that I'm different," he allegedly told her. "I love child incest and child sex". Around this time the mother accepted the man's marriage proposal and she and her daughter moved to Perth. The prosecutor said sexual acts involving the girl started when the man visited the pair in their home country, and continued in Perth. "Two to three times a week for three years," Mr Stocks told the court, with the man eventually using a condom to guard against pregnancy. The mother recorded some of these events, the court heard. The stepfather would tell the girl "how brave she was" when they had sex, the court heard. But the girl had started telling him she was unwell or had homework, in order to avoid being abused. Mr Stocks said she would also try to eat her dinner as slowly as she could, knowing what was to happen after. Police arrested the man in 2021 over an unrelated matter and seized electronic devices, at which point they found an explicit handwritten note from the daughter. The court was told the mother and her daughter moved away from the man, to another suburb in Perth, but the woman still sent intimate photos of the teenager to him. She told police she had sent the photos because he threatened to cancel her visa and send her back to her home country. He also suggested he would commit suicide if she did not comply. "The content of this trial is disturbing and confronting," the woman's lawyer Simon Freitag told the court, describing the stepfather's offending as "evil and persistent". However, he said his client did not accept she had "physically offended" against the girl. He said it would be up to the judge to determine if she was a "willing and conscious party" to the offending. The woman has pleaded not guilty to possessing child exploitation material, producing child exploitation material, sexual penetration of a child under 13 and persistently engaging in sexual conduct with a child under 16. The trial is continuing.

‘Ew': Aussies horrified over ‘mysterious' find in Vegemite

A Melbourne shopper's disappointment over their morning toast has sparked both a corporate investigation and a wave of online banter after they claimed to have received a jar of Vegemite with a mysterious fingerprint in it. Posting to r/melbourne, the user shared a photo of the jar with its lid unscrewed, revealing what appears to be an imprint embedded in the spread. 'Was really looking forward to some Vegemite on toast,' the post was captioned. ' Woolies just dropped off my order, and the Vegemite opened a little too easily with the ring intact … I looked in thinking it would be fine and there's a fingerprint!' the person continued. However, they obviously weren't too upset by it, as they jokingly added: 'Obviously, it will be taken to the police for fingerprint analysis immediately, I can't let a crime like this go unpunished'. 'Now I have to have strawberry jam on toast, and that's just not the same,' the post concluded. Commenters weighed in The post's tongue-in-cheek tone did leave a few commenters confused, with one asking, 'Is this real?' and another declaring it 'fake news'. But the original poster insisted it was real, prompting a variety of commenters to weigh in on what they'd do in that situation. Half admitted they'd probably eat it anyway. 'There's enough salt in there to kill any germs I reckon,' claimed one. 'Get into it,' urged another. 'It's extra flavour,' joked a third person, while a fourth advised the user to 'just scrape off the top layer,' and someone else said, 'there's worse things than fingerprints when you go out and eat'. However, others were horrified: 'I wouldn't eat it, it's kind of gross and you don't know what else they've done with it,' said one. 'Ew, get your money back,' someone else urged. The original poster then updated the thread, saying they strongly believe this was a product defect, as 'upon returning to the store, two out of three jars I bought, the lids just came off without any effort, and one had marks in it already'. They also mentioned that they reported this to Woolworths, Vegemite, and the ACCC. Vegemite responds Vegemite shared a statement with that read: 'We are in contact with the author of a recent post shared by a Melbourne Reddit user concerning a jar of Vegemite which they believed to have been tampered with. We take such matters seriously and are committed to ensuring the safety and quality of our products. 'There is no evidence to suggest a widespread problem. We are actively investigating the case and remain dedicated to upholding the high standards that Vegemite is known for.'
