Speaker 2: Jason and Lauren Clint here from the newsroom as well,

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 2: and one of our favorite segments is back we haven't

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: done it for a while, guys, but just play cool.

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: The cops are here, Jason, Lawrence, tell me what you know.

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: Now for Pride the Pope Pie, we bring in different

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 2: police officers.

00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's like the cast of Breaking Bad

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: has just rolled in.

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: Walter White's in the house.

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: No, we've got detective.

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,160

Speaker 4: This is a it's called a tik suit a week

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 4: A suit's basically a chemical resistant and some the one

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: I'm wearing today is also got some sort of fire

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: resistance built into it. All we want to be on

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 4: fire in this suit.

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 5: We use them and we're processing.

27
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 2: The client labs.

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: So what are you doing bussing busting meth labs?

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: Right? Okay, so that's world to why this is good morning,

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: Good morning, We're good, thanks for joining us.

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 3: Is a hectic out been wearing?

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: How does this room smell? We're all good, A.

33
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 6: Little bit dodge, but we're just going to run some

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 6: testa shortly.

35
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: Well, so you got to talk us through what you

36
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: would do day.

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 7: To day in your job essentially, Well, it's it's pretty varied,

38
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 7: but we investigate locally manufactured drugs within victory.

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: And is it like Magnorance scene in the movies?

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: Are people like making meth in bathtubs, in houses and stuff?

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah like that, Yeah they are.

42
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 5: They're making myth in houses, and making myth in beery

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 5: chipping containers, and making myth in farm sheds, garages, pretty

44
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 5: much anywhere you can think of.

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: I think it's safe to save people. I was just

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: going to say, people could see how this stuff has made.

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: It's the last thing they'd put in their system, isn't it.

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 6: Absolutely Yeah, it's all synthetic made, synthetically made, it's all chemicals. Yeah,

49
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 6: really dangerous.

50
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 3: And so by the time you guys get the call

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 3: to go and I don't know what you call check

52
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: out all lab?

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: Has someone already found it?

54
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: Or they're like, we're suspected that there's suspicious activity happening

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 3: in this house. And then you guys go and kick

56
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: the door down.

57
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, pretty much. We're a bit of a one stop

58
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 6: shop at our office. We get the intel, we investigate it,

59
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 6: we do the raids, and then we prosecute the offenders.

60
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 6: Our process a scene, which can be long if it's

61
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 6: a bigger lab, and then we process the offenders.

62
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: What happens to the goods, Well, they.

63
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 6: Get taken out to a hazardous management unit at a

64
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 6: location and destroyed.

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't go let twenty percent off for the

66
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: Christmas party? And then so what's happening underground here in Melbourne?

67
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 8: We have we got a scourge? Is there is there

68
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 8: a problem or is it something that's happening right the

69
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 8: way around Australia right the way around the world.

70
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 6: I think there's no secret that there's a significant drug

71
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 6: problem in Australia in general. You know, look at our borders.

72
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 6: We're in Ireland, so it's easy to import in here

73
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 6: and there's a lot of chemicals that come into this

74
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 6: country which are used to manufacture methamphetam.

75
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: Very high demand in Australian prices are high, which makes

76
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: it there's a lot of incentive for people out there

77
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 5: to joy and manufactured drugs or import drugs.

78
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: So what's the worst scene you've walked.

79
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: Into most like you would have seen it?

80
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 5: All right?

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: Is there one thing that comes to mind you've walked

82
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: in and gone, oh, I cannot believe what I'm looking at.

83
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 6: Ah?

84
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's been so that you can everything from what

85
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 5: we call addiction based really small labs, and some people

86
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 5: work really neat, really methodical. Some people are really well educated.

87
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 5: I've got science backgrounds, and some are just mayhem. It's

88
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 5: just stuff everywhere, contaminants everywhere. They're contaminated, Like you take

89
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 5: their clothes off and they're still sitting off.

90
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: Your hiding it. It's just full blown lab.

91
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're definitely trying to conceal yeah. Yeah, so, and

92
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 5: they'll go to great lengths to try and keep it concealed.

93
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 5: Just stick them in like sort of industrial areas, rural

94
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 5: areas to try and hide it because they can be

95
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 5: pretty smelly and pretty Yeah.

96
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 3: And so I always admire the police because obviously, you

97
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 3: guys put yourself in in really dangerous situations. Is what

98
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: is the danger that you guys are in excuse me

99
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: going into these labs. Is it the chemicals or is

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: it the people?

101
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: We can say both, like, you're right, you've got a

102
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: bad batch. The chemicals are very.

103
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Sorry coffee in the middle of that.

104
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 6: Anyway, the chemicals are very volatile. You mix the the

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 6: wrong chemicals together and it's effectively a bomb.

106
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, explosives, flammable, toxic, carcinogenic.

107
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: And then that's just the chemical side of the house.

108
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 5: And then you've got an offender who could have an

109
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 5: who isn't real thrill to arrive and then isn't real thrill?

110
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: I was about to say, when you when it gets

111
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: to the point of a raid and you guys, you know,

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: slam the door and cops were coming in, do most

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: of them just go I'm done and give up or

114
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: they put up a fight.

115
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 6: Most most really will generally realize what's happening, and you know,

116
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 6: it's a big shop to them when it happens. And

117
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 6: on the big organized crime labs, you could almost guarantee

118
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 6: this one sort of firearm there very expensive and it's

119
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 6: very profitable, so to protect their poew.

120
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: That's going on. You both watch Breaking Back.

121
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 5: I only watched the first episode.

122
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 7: I'm sure nurses don't watch news show.

123
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I just can't.

124
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 8: Have you adapted yourselves to some of the techniques you

125
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 8: see on that show?

126
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: Maybe should.

127
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 6: It's definitely not far from the truth breaking Yes, that's

128
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 6: from our side and from from the cook side. They

129
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 6: wear very similar stuff.

130
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think some of the methodology and chemicals

131
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 7: they used in the show and probably didn't do us

132
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 7: any favors as well.

133
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: Really, what do you mean by that I taught people?

134
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 5: I think it was from what I've been told, it

135
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 5: was quite accurate in terms of the process.

136
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: Is interesting, it's like a YouTube lesson.

137
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: So common I e. But how rife is it in

138
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: our community at the moment? And is it only myth

139
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: being made here in Australia.

140
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 5: It's not just metal proba that way, It's not just myth.

141
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 5: There are other drugs, but you can really only manufacture

142
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 5: synthetic drugs in Australia. If you're trying to muscle into

143
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 5: the heroin industry, you need a lot of plant material

144
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 5: and if you're trying to muscle into the cocaine industry. Again,

145
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 5: you need that much coca plant it's not going to

146
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 5: work out for you. Yeah, you're better off just importing

147
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 5: that and it becomes a border control issue or AFP

148
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 5: slash border force issue. But thick drugs like meth lanphetamine,

149
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: you can get sources to the chemicals.

150
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: Here and the equipment that you need here.

151
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 5: So that's what it's a big probably the largest percentage.

152
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: Of the work we do.

153
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: I've been watching The Gentleman recently. Not sure if you've

154
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: seen that, but that's all about marijuana plantations. Is that

155
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: something you guys do as well? Find people with the

156
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: blue lights?

157
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: No, not really in our office, that's not you. It's

158
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: more more of.

159
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 6: A genuine local region.

160
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: We'll deal with.

Speaker 3: Fascinated by those ones with the props greenhouse in the backyard.

162
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,320

163
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: hardcore stuff, lease days, aren't.

164
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 6: I'd still our crops are solicia and they're very profitable. Yeah,

165
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 6: organized crime, we're more specialized with the labs sort of

166
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:23,360

170
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: building bombs and things as well?

171
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: We could probably be more specific.

172
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, generally we're just targeting drug labs.

173
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: What I mean, Yeah, there's I'm not doing.

174

Speaker 5: If we had any sort of information that it was

175
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 5: got more of a bomb flavor than a drug flavor,

176
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 5: and we'll probably handed off to the US and explosions.

182
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: that they're cooking something up in there?

183
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,240
