Operation Vitreus

Key national results include:

2962 drug related charges
Almost 1400kgs of illicit drugs and over 2500 cannabis plants,
worth approximately $93M (street value)

The seizure of over $2.2 million cash

In Victoria alone, the operation – led by the Crime Command Organised Crime Division – saw 268 arrests, 568 drug related charges, 55 search warrants executed and the seizure of 25 firearms and $100,000 cash.

Gondwanamo Bay... how long do I have to keep laying out for you people the obvious and simple solutions?

If we just put all the recalcitrants into Aborassic Park (The Independent State of Abosownway) or Gondwanamo Bay the crime rates would plummet in General Community Australia. Give them meaningful work cutting the jungle back every day... give them a new perspective on life .... bag of rice once a week dropped in... fishing lines etc.. self-sustaining.

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
