I wonder how often the AFP allows drug runners to be picked up in Asia rather than here, knowing the slap on the wrist they'd get in Australia, compared to the rather more severe punishment they get in Asia.
Asian police LOVE parading around foreigners that have been caught with drugs. Criminal get's proper jail time, international co-operation goes well, lower cost to imprison in Asia, local police force and politician get good PR.
