  • Summary

  • Sydney's heroin trade from the 1980s to the present was largely controlled by a small number of Chinese importers linked to triad organisations. These importers were difficult for police to apprehend due to their secretive nature, a code of silence, and language barriers. The case of Duncan Lam, a convicted importer, illustrates the scale of their operations and the challenges faced by law enforcement. Triad activity in Australia, while less structured than in Hong Kong, extends beyond heroin trafficking to include other crimes. The involvement of Chinese criminals in the Pacific Islands further complicates the situation, with some eventually migrating to Australia.
