Drug kings are not silly enough to get caught themselves, they use addicts as couriers. That's why the couriers get lesser sentences than the kings behind them.

different drugs are in use in affluent areas. coke over meth for example.

I recall reading about the drug of choice by those with differing personalities. Seems those that wish to escape the nastiness of life prefer alcohol and soporifics , while those who wish to dominate prefer those that heighten the senses.

Back on topic, the title of the thread is rather misleading, Bob, almost prejudiced. Nobody is more parochial than me but let's stick to the facts. We have our fair share of low lives too. Queenslander, copper, postman, truck driver, categorize people as you like, they all fit into the same bell-curve; 90% decent folk, 5% grubs and 5% exceptionally great community members.

Mr Tins, please enlighten me, I thought the steps on those Fruitliners retracted when the door was shut.

Yep, whilst they were standing on the step, I’d have opened the door,, if they didn’t fall off at that point, I’d have swung around and booted them off with both feet. I’m sure the fall at the end would have slowed them down somewhat.
