The parked FG-X was fortunately well protected by the Police vehicles here:

Always good to see this trash removed from circulation, driver and the meth.....

Gotta say though the Hiace came out of that way better than the Commodore (write off), i know it was a glancing blow and the Hiace is banged up, but they don't even look like they where in the same crash....

Said to Mrs Vekgib when it was on the news last night:
"Thank God that van was there. At least the Falcon is alright."

But... Wasn’t the Gov’t telling us that all the ice was being run by OMCGs?

I happened to drive past the arrest scene, just a copper or two about.

So you don't reckon they'd be smart enough to organise a van?

I don't know who is more stupid, the guys hiring this idiot or the idiot himself, sampling the wares?
He had one job to do, drive from point A to point B.
$200 mill worth of merchandise gone, his life probably isn't worth that much to the mob paying him.
If it was a script for TV, like Hawaii 50 or NCIS you would say, "Who dreams this crp up", but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

No, they’d put it in duffle bags and exchange in the gym carpark.

Courts aren't hard enough on these scum bags, if I was in a position of power i'd beg borrow and steal the money to build a BIG corrections facility in the outback and give the green light to Police to random drug test anyone and everyone they consider may have come in contact with the **** and lock them away for a term of hard labour.
You wont stop the people making it as the revenue is too big a carrot, but start locking up the users and let it be known that you'll go down if caught with it in your system and the cash flow will dry up.

If I tried to do myself in they'd lock me away as a danger to myself, well using this **** is a slow death by your own hand so should be treated as such.

The police car and van really went out of their way to protect and serve the FG-X. We salute you.

In other good news, the young one showed me the Facebook page

"Storm the old Ford Factory and remake the AU Falcon"

28K likes, I think we could get this going...

I don't know which would be worse for the driver in this case.
Going to slammer or be let off to go face the music with his 'Boss'

Crash happened because ice made the road slippery.

You'd think while drug running you would be extra careful. Well anyone with more than a room temperature IQ would.

Losing all that ice in such a stupid way, I think the law will be the least of his problems.

Bit hard to attach a trailer to a motorbike to tow 100kg of ice.

Who says this stuff wasn't being onsold to the bikies for distribution?

Maybe if anyone is that stupid to use such drugs why should we truly care about them let alone anyone who deals with such dealers, as your numbers up at any tick of the clock, you may be blown away ect, the thing is that no one should be so stupid.

Why should anyone tolerate such people.

I had a mate who go into dealing speed, he was a good bloke but dumb as a post and after he got into that stuff what a wast of space he is on the mental pension now. he thought was a real tuff guy, some sort of superman that could handle such better than anyone other could.

Another real good bloke I knew died and was not a dumb person but once on that type of stuff you can not trust them at all, as they are out of control.

I believe if a cop wants to test someone for drugs like that on the spot, I am all for it and then deal [deleted] with no kid gloves BS that we do here. the [deleted] get results as they don't have political correctness or any of all that moronic childish cry baby crap like we do here nowadays that just does not work, Australia only truly encourages more and more idiots here and that's a fact.

To get these scum bags off the streets and out of good peoples lives for a start and with any luck the ripple effect of knowing the repercussions for being stupid enough to go there in the first place might deter future customers and lead to a downturn in business and revenue.

The damage done to innocent people whilst the inevitable is running its course is what I hate the most, I have zero sympathy/empathy/compassion for the user.

My Wife's brother has bled his parents dry to fund his ice addiction, good people who are now struggling to make ends meet in retirement because every dollar they ever saved went in to his body.
3 weeks ago his skank suffered a massive heart attack and had to be resuscitated 3 times, she then signed herself out of hospital 4 days later, went home, started a big row with him and he knifed himself in the neck.
I've watched this **** destroy a good family.
