Largest ever Fentanyl bust in Australia

A most terrible drug that kills in minute quantities.
You can die from just breathing the invisible dust from it.

AFP, ABF discover record fentanyl seizure in machinery sent from Canada to Melbourne

11 kilograms of fentanyl and 30kg of methamphetamine



...



"This drug is one of the more dangerous drugs
that our officers can come into contact with so they acted immediately to set up an exclusion zone within the container examination facility," Commander Watson said.


He said they put on extra personal protective equipment, and set up decontamination zones in case of exposure and rostered paramedics to be on hand throughout the operation.




Federal authorities have intercepted a record amount of the potentially deadly opioid fentanyl, hidden inside machinery sent to Melbourne.
Key points:

    The AFP says the 11 kilograms of fentanyl found was equivalent to about 5.5 million potential lethal doses of the opioid
    Fentanyl is highly addictive and authorities say it has been mixed with heroin overseas, causing thousands of deaths
    Authorities say organised crime networks are behind the smuggling operation, but no arrests have been made

The Australia Federal Police (AFP) and Australia Border Force (ABF) today announced the seizure of 11 kilograms of fentanyl and 30kg of methamphetamine found inside an industrial wooden lathe — machinery used for wood or metal working — that arrived at the Port of Melbourne from Canada in December last year.

The AFP says it was the equivalent of more than 5 million potentially lethal doses of fentanyl and $27 million worth of methamphetamine.

Australia has only ever recorded illicit fentanyl importations of less than 30g, with the first case in 2017.

"So to have a detection of 11kg pure is just quite frankly extraordinary," ABF Commander James Watson said.

Fentanyl is a fast-acting opioid that is highly addictive and acts on the same receptors in the body as heroin.

The drug is primarily used for medical purposes, but the AFP says it can be mixed with heroin in overseas illicit drug markets, often with fatal consequences.

Commander Watson said there was a "fentanyl epidemic" in some parts of the world, causing thousands of deaths a year.

"The audacity of the group behind this is just quite frankly outrageous.
I'd describe it as a total act of bastardry."

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times
more potent than heroin or morphine.




Experts consider 2 mg of fentanyl to be lethal,


but many counterfeit pills contain up to 5 mg (more than twice the lethal dose). This amount is incredibly small.

Check out the image to the side for scale to see what 2 mg of fentanyl looks like.

Largest shipment of fentanyl recorded in Australia seized

2,370 views  Aug 22, 2022

The largest shipment of opioid fentanyl ever detected in Australia has been seized by the AFP, following a joint operation with the Australian Border Force.

Australian Border Force Commander James Watson says typically fentanyl is detected in quantities of one gram or less.

"So to have a detection that’s 11 kilograms pure is just quite frankly extraordinary," he said.

“The audacity of the group behind this is just quite frankly outrageous."

It's the Chinese who make it.

they want to kill people with drugs.






Fighting fentanyl: the drug from China destroying American lives

535,586 views  Premiered Mar 6, 2019


Overdoses linked to fentanyl, a synthetic opioid up to 50 times stronger than heroin, killed nearly 30,000 people in the United States in 2017. Authorities say most fentanyl sold in the state of Pennsylvania can be traced back to China. We went to Kensington, an area considered a “ground zero” of America’s opioid crisis, in the Pennsylvanian city of Philadelphia, to find out how a drug funneled through from China is fueling a health crisis half a world away.

These are mostly panic attacks where there is no real exposure to the drug.

John Smith is a road rager who thinks about slamming on the brakes of his car doing 110kph when there's someone just 1 meter behind him at dusk, with his wife and kids in the car.

HELLO SUBSTANCE ABUSER. And a retard who should not breed.
