Australian authorities say they can detect dark net transactions.

We know this because the nation's Border Force (ABF), the black-shirt wearing guardians of Australia's frontiers, says as much in its takedown notice of a "31-year-old man from Port Neill" in the State of South Australia. Said man fell foul of a joint ABF and South Australia Police (SAPOL) operation that "linked him to the importation and distribution of numerous border controlled drugs via the dark net."

"We are well aware of these websites and take any attempts to import illegal border controlled drugs very seriously," said Craig Palmer, the ABF's acting commander for immigration and customs enforcement. "

[...] The ABF hasn't previously publicised arrests made as a result of dark net activities, but early in 2016 advertised for workers with information security skills. Perhaps those hires' feet are well and truly under the desk? ®

      There's no voice mail, nobody called
      I'm awesome!
      I can't afford to buy eight balls
      And I talk to myself on my facebook wall
      I'm awesome!

      Suit untailored, ringtone Taylor Swift
      Can't tweet up on my Twitter
      Cause I haven't done shit
      Bank account red, body ungroomed
      Only thing good about me is I'm off stage soon

    They are called scientists. Using brit-fag slang only makes you sound more mentally retarded.

      All my writtens are bitten and all my verses are purchased
      Me? I'll never date an actress
      Got too many back zits
      Plus my whole home aroma is cat piss
      Every show I do is poorly promoted
      And if you like this it's cause my little sister wrote it

    Because sometimes it's the only way to have an intelligent conversation.
