There is good evidence that one of the big (and maybe the others for all we know) transport companies here TNT owned by Sir Peter Abels, good friend of PM Bob hawke and business partner of Rupert Murdoch, was used to transport drugs out of Australia. I think it is covered in Kwitney's book on Nugan Hand possibly also the Royal Commissions. According to some of the drivers the trucks were loaded up in the Griffith area, locked, and they were driven to the markets where the drivers were told to go off some where and have a cup of tea while others with keys unlocked and emptied the cargo. Rupert and Ables were also business partners in airlines and Abels helped his little mate Rupert out in Wapping transporting scab labour and their products in and out across the picket lines.
