The Mules of Instagram, Roll the Dice
The Mules of Instagram
It doesn't matter where in the world they ply their trade, criminals share common traits. Greed. Arrogance. And more often than not, high levels of stupidity. It's certainly the case for Isabelle Legacé and Melina Roberge. Blinded by the promise of a small fortune, as well as a free luxury cruise from England to Australia, the two young Canadians agreed to help smuggle 95 kilograms of cocaine in their luggage. But as Karl Stefanovic reports, they came unstuck because they couldn't stop sharing the happy snaps of their journey on Instagram. They seemed to believe that being drug mules was as easy as getting a South Pacific suntan. Little did they know, as they cruised towards Sydney, the Australian Border Force was ready and waiting and had arranged a special welcome party for them.

Roll the Dice
With economic ups and downs every other day, it's not surprising that millions of Australians currently feel like they're living in a giant game of snakes and ladders. On Wednesday a small drop in the rate of inflation was seen as a positive blip for people doing it tough. But sitting at seven per cent, the number is still way too high. Bringing inflation down isn't difficult though. There's a quick and easy fix. The problem, however, is that homeowners with mortgages will suffer even more because interest rates must rise further. In about 48 hours the country will know for sure if the under-siege Reserve Bank has the mettle to tame the inflation beast, but in the meantime, Tom Steinfort reports, it might be wise for everyone to assume the brace position.
