WRITING. Freelancing. Make A Living Writing - Practical Help for Hungry Writers. Alfred,Lord Tennyson : Ulysses. How Augmented Reality Will Work" 12 Months Of Excess | Your Friends House. Photo by Meaghan May At what point did adolescence end and adulthood begin? Somewhere in our memories we can all find the moment that lifted our goggles of naivety. Many will give credit to their first sexual encounter. Or maybe the day they received their driver’s license or bachelor’s degree. For me and my friends, that moment came when the Queensland Police Service and the Australian Crime Commission descended on our carefully constructed social lives like a fucking storm.
They called it Operation Golf Brazen. And on February 3rd 2009, they finally ended their year-long effort to dismantle one of the biggest drug trafficking rings in Australia. Before that day, every week started with a 21 year-old I’ll call Adrian and a round number. So that number would travel to the manufacturer from a throw-away phone on the Gold Coast to another in Sydney, where a chemistry dropout who decided to aim higher than the wage at Priceline would fulfil the order from a rented house in the suburbs.
