Don't forget most of the time the footage you see on the news is usually file footage and can be quite old, they usually show the same film of pills for every bust. Saves them sending out a camera crew every time, so don't label them by what you see on the news because it might not be one and the same.
As for one bust causing a shortage..... Probably not. Everyone gets all scared every time the police pull in a huge haul but IMHO there is more than one big player in the Australian drug trade and haven’t we all decided that one of the bigger players probably is a boy in blue anyway

A largish rave would have about 10,000 people. Say on average your looking at 4 pills per person. Thats 40,000 pills bought and sold in one night, at one rave.
So 200,000 aint gonna put a dent in the supply. I would hazard a guess that we would be looking at somewhere in the order of 300,000 of each brand would be coming in every week or two. Just my guess.

"average four pills per person"? don't project your own allowance onto others. i think one per person is still too high an estimate. not everyone does pills at an event, and those who do seldom do more than one. this comes from someone who tests pills at lots of events, and see what people pull out of their pockets to test...
but that aside 200,000 pills is just a drop in the pill ocean as far as our national supply is concerned.

agree with jb, i dont have pills everywhere i go out, recently i havnt had them in ages, and usually not at parties anyway, 4 pills? lol. not everyone needs 4, has money for 4, or has to have them at a rave.

i dont like big busts like these. bah anyway, nothing my whinging can do!!
and a side note, four pills per person? highly unlikely. i think at a rave of 10,000, probably 5000-8000 drop pills, and probably 50% of those people would only have 1 pill for the duration of the night.

Yeah, with the pictures on the news last night of the customs officers smiling while posing with a bag of goodies, anyone know where I can get an image of that pose? I feel like doing some Photoshoping. :D
Yeah, just further to that, updated article in The Herald Sun with the picture I wanted.

Interesting snippet:
CELEBRITIES on Melbourne's A-list are likely to be quizzed about a record $10.6 million ecstasy seizure.
A man arrested over Victoria's biggest haul of the party drug considers himself a mover and shaker around town.
His luxury black Saab is regularly parked outside gala events and he has rubbed shoulders with socialites and celebrities at a number of opening nights in recent weeks.
Umm.. how about the entire cast of Home and Away and Neighbours? LOL

OK let me explain the number 4. Let me first say that 4 is not my personal consumption. I would guess the majority of people out there would be have 2 in a night. But then you will have a fairly large number of people who will have one or none. These are the health consious people, smaller sized people, and the people who go for the vibe.
But then you have the big time users. I'm talking about guys/girls that will be eating up to 10 in a night. It's not as uncommon as you think, and of course we can't condone such consumption but it does exist. I doubt your gonna see these guys at the testing sites, because lets face it if your the kind of person who's eating 10 a night, then you really don't give a toss whats in it.
But this doesn't distract from the point that this bust is but a drop in the ocean.
