This one starts normally enough; with a Mum of two living in a quiet beachside suburb in Hobart. Where it turns criminal is the fact that she was involved in a highly sophisticated international Melbourne ice trafficking syndicate.

She was allegedly involved in a large-scale Chinese-Malaysian drug trafficking syndicate that used vulnerable people to “housesit” their drug labs.

It’s pretty clear that this wasn’t some backyard operation – this was a highly organised syndicate. They had fronts to legitimise their income, including chicken farms and labour organisations to wash their profits through.

It looks like it’s been in operation since at least 2018, trafficking the drug ice, and this woman, a Chinese National, and her husband appear to be the ringleaders – but she is out on bail as she has a newborn child who obviously needs care.

She and her husband were among 15 in the ice trafficking syndicate arrested.

These syndicates seem to be more and more common and it’s worrying to see something this sophisticated anywhere in the country, let alone in Tasmania.

Ice is a huge problem in Australia, especially in regional areas – these people are nothing more than merchants of misery and suffering.

But despite the seriousness of the crime, the Victorian Supreme Court let the woman out on bail after it was denied by a Magistrate.
