[quote]Six men have been charged after police seized almost 3 tonnes of narcotics worth more than $1.5 billion in Australia's second largest drug bust.
Approximately 2.8 tonnes of illicit drugs were seized, including 1,917 kilograms of MDMA and 849 kilograms of methamphetamine, with a street value of more than $1.5 billion.
Police will allege the consignment originated in Europe before arriving in Australia earlier this month.
Customs chief executive Roman Quaedvlieg said officers acting on an ongoing intelligence operation found the drugs while searching a sea cargo container from Hamburg in Germany last Friday.
Australian Federal Police (AFP) Commissioner Andrew Colvin said the narcotics were concealed with furniture.
Commissioner Colvin said it was the largest Australian seizure of methamphetamine and the second largest of MDMA.
"By any measure this is an enormous seizure of illicit narcotics that have been removed from distribution on our streets," he said.
Commissioner Colvin said the MDMA was in various forms, but mostly powder.
"We have to presume at some point it would be pressed into pills. I understand there are also some pills in that," he said.
Search warrants are currently being executed across New South Wales and Commissioner Colvin said the AFP were hopeful of further arrests.
The Commissioner said it was a sophisticated, controlled operation involving AFP, NSW Police and Australian Customs officers.
He added that police managed the delivery of the narcotics to try to identify as many of the people involved as possible.
Police are also working closely with the German federal police and Interpol.[/quote]

* whacked, Goodfellas style
would it be possible to do that much MDMA over the course of your entire lifetime

1917 kg of MDMA is enough for 7,688,000 250mg doses. If you lived to 75 that's like 28,000 days. You would probably die long before you made a dent in it
