Teachers charged with smuggling alcohol - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Teachers charged with smuggling alcohol - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): "Two school teachers have been charged with smuggling alcohol into a dry community in the remote Kimberley.
Two years ago, Wangkatjungka became the first Aboriginal community in the state where it became illegal to possess or consume alcohol, under section 175 of the liquor act.
Acting on a tip-off, police allege they found alcohol in the two teachers' government house and in their car.
Inspector Jim Cave says it is a disappointing situation.
'We're obviously not very happy. It takes a fair amount of work to get a section 175 up and running.
'Teachers obviously work and live in the community, and we will allege that they were fully aware that they should not have had alcohol in their possession.'"
