CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - A lingerie model and an English teacher are the latest Australians arrested by police in Asia and charged with drug offenses. They'd better not expect any sympathy from their prime minister back home.
"It's beyond belief that any Australian could be so stupid as to carry drugs into any country in Asia," John Howard told the Nine Network television this week.
His comment is a clear signal that Canberra is losing patience with its citizens being involved in drug busts overseas following a string of high-profile cases.
