00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: Called a tick suit, a week a suit. It's basically

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 3: a chemical resistant and some the one I'm wearing today

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: is also got some sort of fire resistance built into it.

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: All we want to be on fire in this suit.

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: We use them when we're processing the clan labs.

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,279
Speaker 2: So what are you doing buy busting meth labs?

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Right? Okay, So that's world to why this is good morning,

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: Good morning, we're good, thanks for joining us.

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: Is a hectic out be wearing?

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: How does this room smell? We're all good?

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: A little bit dodge, but we're just going to run

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 4: some test shortly, we'll see.

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: So you got to talk us through what you would

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: do day to.

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 5: Day in your job essentially, Well, it's it's pretty varied,

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 5: but we investigate locally manufactured drugs.

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: With victor and is it like part of my ignorance?

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: A scene in the movies? Are people like making meth

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: in bathtubs in houses and stuff? Yeah like that?

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah they are.

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 5: They're making myth in houses, and making myth in beery

42
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 5: chipping containers, and making myth in farm sheds, garages, pretty

43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: much anywhere you can think of.

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to save people. I was just

45
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: going to save people. Could see how this stuff is made.

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: It's the last thing they'd put in their system, isn't it.

47
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's all synthetic, made synthetically made. It's all chemicals,

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 4: really dangerous.

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: And so by the time you guys get the call

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: to go and I don't know what you call check

52
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: out all that, have someone already found it or they like,

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: we're suspected that there's suspicious activity happening in this house.

54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: And then you guys go and kick the door down.

55
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, pretty much. We're a bit of a one stop

56
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 6: shop at our office.

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: We get the intel, we investigate it, we do the raids,

58
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 4: and then we prosecute the offenders. Our process the scene,

59
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: which can be long if it's a big lab, and

60
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 4: then we process offend.

61
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: It's just what happens to the goods.

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: Well, they get taken out to a hazardous management unit

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: at a location and destroyed.

64
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: Yea, we don't go let twenty percent off for the

65
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Christmas party. And then.

66
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 7: So what's happening underground here in Melbourne? We have we

67
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 7: got a scourge? Is there is there a problem or

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 7: is it something that's happening right the way around Australia,

69
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 7: right the way around the world.

70
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: I think there's no secret that there's a significant drug

71
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: problem in Australia in general. You know, look at our borders.

72
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 4: We're an Island, so it's easy to import in here,

73
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: and there's a lot of chemicals that come into this

74
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: country which are used to manufacture methamphetam.

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 5: Very high demand in Australian prices are high, which makes

76
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 5: it there's a lot of incentive for people out there

77
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 5: to joy and manufacture drugs or in pot drugs.

78
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: So what's the worst scene you've walked into most like

79
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: you would have seen it?

80
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: All right?

81
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: Is there one thing that comes to mind you've walked

82
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: in and gone, I cannot believe what I'm looking at?

83
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 6: Ah?

84
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's been so that you can get everything from

85
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 5: what we call addiction based really small labs, and some

86
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 5: people work really neat, really methodical. Some people are really

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 5: well educated. I've got science backgrounds, and some are just mayhem.

88
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 5: It's just stuff everywhere, contaminants everywhere. They're contaminated. Like you

89
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 5: take their clothes off and they're still sitting off.

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: Your hiding it. It's just full blown lab.

91
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're definitely trying to conceal yeah, yeah, yeah, so

92
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 5: and they'll go to great lengths to try and keep

93
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: it concealed. Just stick them in like sort of industrial areas,

94
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 5: rural areas to try and hide it because they can

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 5: be pretty smelly in pretty yeah.

96
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: And so I always admire the police because obviously, you

97
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: guys put yourself in real dangerous situations. Is what is

98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: the danger that you guys are in, excuse me going

99
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: into these labs? Is it the chemicals or is it

100
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: the people?

101
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 6: We can say both, like, you're right, you've got a

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 6: bad batch.

103
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 7: The chemicals are very.

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: Sorry coffee in the middle of that.

105
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: Anyway, The chemicals are very volatile. You mix the the

106
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 4: wrong chemicals together and it's effectively a bomb.

107
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, explosives, flammable, toxic, cascinogenic. And then that's just the

108
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 5: chemical side of the house. And then you've got an

109
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 5: offender who have who isn't real thrill to arrive And

110
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 5: then isn't real thrill?

111
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: I was about to say, when you when it gets

112
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: to the point of a raid and you guys, you know,

113
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: slam the door and cops were coming in, do most

114
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: of them just go I'm done and give up, or

115
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: they put up a fight.

116
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: Most most really will generally realize what's happening, and you know,

117
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 4: it's a big shot to them when it happens. And

118
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 4: on the big organized crime labs you could almost guarantee

119
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: this one sort of firearm there very expensive and it's

120
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 4: very profitable, so to protect their poew.

121
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 6: That's going on.

122
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 7: You both watched Breaking Bad.

123
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 5: I only watched the first episode. I'm sure nurses don't

124
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 5: watch news show. Yeah, yeah, I just can't.

125
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 7: Have you adapted yourselves to some of the techniques you

126
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 7: see on that show.

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: Maybe it's definitely not far from the truth breakings. Yes,

128
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 4: that's from our side and from from the cook side.

129
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 6: They wear very similar stuff.

130
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think some of the methodology and chemicals

131
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 5: they used in the show and probably didn't do us

132
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 5: any favors as well.

133
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: Really, what do you mean by that taught people?

134
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 5: I think it was from what I've been told was accurate.

135
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

136
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 5: So in terms of the process.

137
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: Is interesting.

138
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: It's like a YouTube lesson.

139
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: So common I e. But how rife is it in

140
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: our community at the moment? And is it only myth

141
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: being made here in Australia.

142
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 5: It's not just me probag that way, It's not just myth.

143
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 5: There are other drugs. But you can really only manufacture

144
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: synthetic drugs in Australia. If you're trying to muscle into

145
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 5: the heroin industry, you need a lot of plant material.

146
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 5: And if you're trying to muscle into the cocaine industry again,

147
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 5: you need that much coca plant.

148
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: It's not going to work out for you.

149
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 5: You're better off just importing that and it becomes a

150
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 5: border control issue or AFP slash border force issue. But

151
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: thick drugs like meth lanphetamine, you can get sources the

152
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 5: chemicals here and the equipment that you need here. So

153
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 5: that's what it's a big probably the largest percentage.

154
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 6: Of the work we do.

155
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: I've been watching The Gentleman recently. Not sure if you've

156
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: seen that, but that's all about marijuana plantations. Is that

157
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: something you guys do as well? Find people with the

158
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: blue lights?

159
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: No, not really in our office, that's not you.

160
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 6: It's more more of a genuine local region.

161
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: We'll deal with.

162
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: Fascinated by those ones with the props greenhouse in the backyard.

163
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: I think we're using our manpower to go after more

164
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: hardcore stuff lease days, aren't we'd.

165
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 4: Still our crops are soilicia and they're very profitable organized crime.

166
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: We're more specialized with the.

167
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 6: Lab sort of set up.

168
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: And so do you guys only do drugs or do

169
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: you do likeation. Do you guys only raid like drug

170
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: labs or are you going to places where people are

171
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: building bombs and things as well?

172
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 6: We could probably would be more specific.

173
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, generally we're just targeting drug labs. What I mean, Yeah,

174
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 8: I'm not doing if we had any sort of information

175
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 8: that it was got more of a bomb flavor than

176
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 8: a drug flavor, and we'll probably handed off to the

177
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 8: US and explosions.

178
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, for people listening right now that are like Jesus,

179
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: this could be happening in my street. Is there any

180
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: sign or telltales? Is there any telltale signs that you

181
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: might see from someone's house that might give an indication

182
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: that they're cooking something up in there.

183
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 6: Generally, the chemical.

184
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 4: Smell gives it away, and a lot of people just

185
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: write it off.

186
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: As cleaning products and stuff.

187
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: Or yeah it's you know, they're just the suspicious behavior around.

00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: you don't see any cats.

190
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,160
