On Four Corners, “Cocaine Nation” by Mahmood Fazal reports on the very real dangers the movement of illicit drugs in Australia poses.
Australians are the highest per capita users of cocaine in the world.
We’re taking more than ever and we’re paying top dollar for it too – among the highest prices globally.
While police around the country celebrate big busts, the rivers of white continue to flood in, and out to market.
So, who is behind the booming trade?
This week on Four Corners, reporter Mahmood Fazal speaks with the people involved in the cocaine supply chain, lifting the lid on the shadowy underworld.
With unprecedented access to traffickers, importers, street dealers and high-ranking cartel operatives who break their code of silence, Fazal reveals the highs, the lows and the very real dangers the movement of illicit drugs in Australia poses.
Monday 22nd May at 8.30pm on ABC.

I can just picture the Four Corners team, in their best cardigans and night vision googles, planting shaped charges on the doors of a cartel fortress before breaching and clearing it out room by room in a brutal firefight. Somebody’s been watching too much Seal Team, and thanks to Paramount it isn’t me.
