The man appeared before Australian courts on Friday, on charges relating to the alleged importing of cocaine from NI to Australia
Australian Federal Police and the Australian Border Force detained the 32-year-old for allegedly importing the drugs through the post and for dealing with more than $350,000 cash suspected to be proceeds of crime.
A second package was then intercepted later that month in Sydney to the same address in Scarborough which reportedly contained about 400g of cocaine concealed in curry sauce packets. Intelligence gained through the investigation resulted in another search warrant executed on 1 April at a Morley residence, where the AFP found $234,850 cash, which was allegedly stored there for the 32-year-old.

The influence of acculturation on the risk of preterm birth and low birthweight in migrant women residing in Western AustraliaBackground The risk of preterm birth (PTB) and low birthweight (LBW) may change over time the longer that immigrants reside in their adopted countries. We aimed to study the influence of acculturation on the risk of these outcomes in Australia. Methods A retrospective cohort study using linked health data for all non-Indigenous births from 2005–2013 in Western Australia was undertaken. Acculturation was assessed through age on arrival, length of residence, interpreter use and having an Australian-born partner. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for term-LBW and PTB (all, spontaneous, medically-indicated) were calculated using multivariable logistic regression in migrants from six ethnicities (white, Asian, Indian, African, Māori, and ‘other’) for different levels of acculturation, compared to the Australian-born population as the reference. Results The least acculturated migrant women, those from non-white non-Māori ethnic backgrounds who immigrated at age ≥18 years, had an overseas-born partner, lived in Australia for 10 years and did not use an interpreter, had similar risk of term-LBW but 43% (aOR 1.43, 95% CI 1.14–1.78) higher risk of spontaneous PTB than the Australian-born women. Conclusion Acculturation is an important factor to consider when providing antenatal care to prevent PTB and LBW in migrants. Acculturation may reduce the risk of term-LBW but, conversely, may increase the risk of spontaneous PTB in migrant women residing in Western Australia. However, the effect may vary by ethnicity and warrants further investigation to fully understand the processes involved.
