19.  Meanwhile, back at Oz
Drugs, guns, explosives found at Bossley Park house - police

When they arrived at the house with a search warrant at 9.45am (AEDT) the five people in the house refused to let them in.

Officers from the Riot and Public Order Squad forced entry to the house and detained the residents.

Police said a search discovered prohibited drugs, two firearms, a stun gun, explosives, prohibited weapons and balaclavas.

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with possessing goods suspected of being stolen, and using offensive language.

I didn't know that balaclavas were a controlled substance, or that you could be arrested for"using offensive language".

For a nation surrounded by water you sure do have a lot of illegal stuff coming in.
