Just shoot them already, geez.......... I'm sick of hearing about them the bleeding heart advocates, on the TV and radio, every single news break.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for these drug peddlers, especially someone who strong arms others into doing the dirty work. I don't care how "reformed" they may or may not be. They were quite happy to throw the rest of the mules to the wolves at the time.

I agree to a point but I just can't come at the corporal punishment thing

But yes they knew the risks, and just because over here they would get told "your a naughty boy, o yes you are, now say your sorry" over here for what they did, doesn't mean they should expect that anywhere else in the world.

If nothing else comes out of this I hope that other morons who are planing the same get which quick scheme think for 2 seconds more before doing it

I'm guessing that is thw windsor mitre 10?- I will tell you a tale of that Mitre 10. My brother was the retail manager up until 2012. The owner got in a consultant - we'll call him Mick - who redid the store pricing based on his "successful formula" - which meant jacking up the prices & reducing available stock. This is "successful" in rural areas where bunnings & masters are non existant - not so much when the bunnings is less than 5 mins away. This so-called consultant had a track record of doing this to other small hardware stores, then buying them when they failed & selling them to, you guessed it, bunnings.

The only store which got wise was Canada Bay hardware, who turfed him.

They are slowly going down the tube though....... geez I wont hate that when they close!

btw, who was the independent guy?

Yep that's the store

Sad it used to be really good, I used to buy every thing from there and their smaller Richmond outlet when it was open, then it went to **** (about the time you mentioned)

The paint chick was in her mid to late 40's carrying a few kg's but not big if you know what I mean, but was a real "hater" you could tell by her conversation with her friends she wasn't happy unless she was complaining about something

I actually like the store because they have stuff real stuff now just enough real stuff to not quite finish a job, but they're not doing them selfs any favours

Yep I agree, they know the risk, our government should stay out of it. If they were to let them off then, they'd have to let others off aswell. They've taken the hard line against drugs, maybe Australia should take a page out of it. I don't mean corporal but harder penalties.

I bet if they didn't get caught they'd still be doing it until they did and getting more kids hooked and their poor families too go through hell. Why not help them victoms instead of wasting resources on the cause of it.

industry goss is that they will go belly up in less than 3 years, which will leave you with bunnings (meh) or Kings if you fancy a drive over the river. Which is sad, really.

i too have no sympathy for these 2, as there is no secret about indonesia's policy on drug smugglers if you get caught.

But I do have an issue with the AFP giving them all up to the indonesians, when they could have easily just grabbed them all as they came back into australia. Scott Rush's father went to the AFP trying to get help to save his son from this, only to see them throw the lot under the bus, instead of just the ringleaders

Bushbasher · 08-02-2015, 10:06 PM

Yup, I agree, and yes, the AFP were just low bastards for doing what they did, but this is just about the 2 ring leaders. The rest of them is a whole different argument to my mind, but these two deserve nothing.

XBROO · 09-02-2015, 09:06 PM

I'm going to be a mean bastard and say good on the AFP, as they know the courts here would of giving them a slap on the wrist. So for all their good police work they get an out come, that fits the crime.

**Charliewool** · 09-02-2015, 10:07 PM

A real toughie this...
I Believe that there's heaps that should be executed before these 2 though?
Like the remainder of those implicated in the Bali bombing?
Really got to feel for these guys families.. Tragic waste

XBROO · 09-02-2015, 10:32 PM

I'll agree with the bali bombing, but I feel for the families with kids addicted to the drugs these scum smuggle.

That Coke (the drink) tastes different in glass as opposed to plastic or aluminium.

**hawkgirl** · 10-02-2015, 07:59 PM

i thought that was just me...

Bushbasher · 10-02-2015, 08:15 PM

So does beer. I refuse to buy cans of beer for that very reason, it just don't taste right.

You're right. Doesn't seem to have as much 'kick' from a can, like it's a lot flatter or something.

Why is it that nude beaches are full of fat, ugly and old people? These people should never take off their clothes in public.

The one in the glass bottle tastes the best to me, nothing beats fresh glass bottle coke.

Plastic is good and can, well can of coke is better than no coke.

No. I go because I enjoy the feeling of freedom.

Why is it that cigarette smokers in general are littering Bxxxxxxxs.you follow a car along the road then next thing a butt either alight or otherwise comes out the window.Smokers drop the butt on the footpath then sometimes stand on it and walk away,doesn,t matter if there is a bin 2 metres away.others just flick the cig onto the road.Is it too hard to do the right thing and bin it like others do with rubbish.

Watto_Cobra · 10-02-2015, 11:48 PM

I hate that too and I smoke. Why is it at least once a week on my trip home from work in Wodonga someone has thrown all their Macca's rubbish out onto the road where I get off the Hume Freeway at Chiltern.

They were probably nearly home and can't be bothered to put it in their home bin?

Just wondering are you aloud to smoke and drive? See so many people doing it. And people if you got to do it, just check there isn't a motorcyclist behind you when you flick your fag out the window.

I was under the impression smoking in your car is fine unless you have a child(ren) in there with you.

Too me it should be illegal, it's just as dangerous as eating or drinking, aswell as being on the phone.

It's a shame that the glass bottle cokes are about 200mL though... the bottles are tiny

Sounds like when UHF radio's were getting popular. Most were advertised as having a PTT microphone.

PTT meant Push To Talk
