Cube Drug Raid?

I think one of the things you will find and probably get upset about is, there is a higher represented amount of persons in the LGBT community that take illicit drugs, it’s not a generalisation, or a lie, it’s a fact. Until that problem is fixed, then yes, places they hang out generally have a high amount of drugs, it is just the way shit happens.

While that may or may not be true (reference?), it is an interesting approach you suggest.

Stat’s show that drug use is much higher by people with mental health issues too (chicken or egg?). Do you suggest police target psychologists offices?

LOT33? Makes sense, every body there is always completely thrashed on anything they can get their hands on…

I’m hearing the other club was in Kingston.

I was in Civic at the time, one of my friends came up complaining that she got frisked and questioned after it happened.
They busted more than the mentioned few with drugs, they were just in smaller quantities, so not mentioned, apparently.
There was no other clubs busted that night – and if there had been it would not have been Academy, there was a total of around 30 people in there at any given time during the night.

If the club is involved in dealing then they seem to be getting what they deserve.

He should be in jail and it should be shut down. Down with criminals like him.

totally agree

For the past few years there have been various initiatives aimed at improving relations between the AFP and the local gay community. Poorly thought out, blunderbuss actions such as raiding Canberra’s only remaining gay nightspot – supposedly on the premise of looking for drugs – bring back images of the old vice squad bashing gays and sending them to Cooma jail for 14 years under the old anti gay laws.

This raid has the potential to be a PR disaster for the AFP and could possibly undo all the hard work of the past few years in improving relations between police and the gay community.

What the hell?
What does “supposedly on the premise of looking for drugs” mean??
Cube’s a well known drug hot-spot… it’d be dumb not to raid it!
I’m a regular patron and am happy knowing that the police care about making Cube as safe as possible. Last night was awesome – the cops’ interruption must not have lasted long at all because I didn’t even know anything had happened (at 1am).

I think there would be a few other ways of the AFP offend the community, inadvertently even. I don’t make any inference here other than what it says? The raid could have been for any number of reasons and be pursuant to any number of people. What makes you even think there was a raid? I wasn’t at cube so I cannot be sure what has happened and unless you were there you cannot be either. Stop being so naive.

This really happened and those arse clowns at the Cube deserve all they get!

About a week ago, while I was away, the phone rings at my house at 2:30am. Wife answers it, half asleep. Person on the other end says,

“It’s the Cube Nightclub here, can you please come and pick up your daughter Michelle, she is drunk and high and we need to get her outta here!”

Wife says “Um, I think you have the wrong number…”

Cube “No we don’t, this is the number she gave us, come and pick her up please!!”

Wife “Um, no, my daughter is in bed!”

Cube “No she isn’t, she’s here and she’s under age, come and get her now!!”

Wife “Look, my daughter is not at the Cube, she is in bed, you have the wrong person!”

Cube “Can you go and check that your daughter is in bed, because she’s here at the Cube and she’s drunk and on drugs!”

Wife “No, I’m not going to check if my daughter is in bed because I know she’s there, plus she’s 12 years old and her name isn’t Michelle, you have the wrong house!!”

Cube “Oh’, well what do we do with this girl?”

Wife “I dunno, call the Police and give her to them?”

Cube “We can’t do that, we’ll lose our license!!!”

Wife hangs up.
