People only complain about the stupidity of laws when it bothers them in particular. Until such time, it matters not. If the law there is to be shot to death for bringing 4 kilos of pot into their country, then you eat a lead salad for your last meal- you don't do it, get caught, and then whine and bitch about how "outdated" or "barbaric" it is. It's their law. You respect it, or you pay the price.
And no, it's NOT the fault of the fucking autralian government for "not catching it before it left", it's the fault of the stupid woman who brought it.
If she's innocent, then she's innocent- and there's no reason to get our shorts in a twist. If she's guilty- then she pays whatever price they put on her head.
I file this under "tough shit".
EDIT: I hope she doesn't have any kids, so her genetics stop with her.
