UPDATE 3.30PM: Mackay police are warning drug traffickers they are fooling themselves if they think hiding out in a rural area is a “safe haven”.
Speaking about the drug raid at an Eton home on Wednesday, Mackay CIB Detective Senior Sergeant Jack Savage said police found 10.77g of methamphetamine, 182g of marijuana and 0.4g of cocaine, $540 in cash, nun chucks and an antipersonnel spray.
Police charged a 44-year-old Kinchant Dam man with 11 drug-related offences after chasing him through multiple neighboring properties including darting between a barb-wired fence.
Sergeant Savage said the Kinchant Dam Rd raid would likely lead to more arrests and charges.

“I think it’s a really important thing to say thank you, to let people know that we really do care about what’s happening to you and how your lives and families can be affected by (post-traumatic stress disorder) and other things” Childs said.
“So many men are feeling like they can’t really vent or share what they’re going through for fear of losing their jobs, or being judged.

'It's about time': PM announces veterans' suicide inquiry

A Mackay veteran says it is “about time” the prime minister announced a royal commission into Australia’s alarming rate of veterans’ and defence force personnel suicide.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison, in announcing the inquiry on Monday, said the rate was “unacceptably high” with suicide prevention a priority for the federal government.
“In recognising the sacrifices made by our serving and former members, and their families, on behalf of the nation, we owe it to members, veterans and their families to continue to take action,” Mr Morrison said.
Mackay Vietnam War veteran Leslie Palmer, whose service resulted in post-traumatic stress disorder, said the inquiry would emphasise the need for more services such the a revolutionary wellness and treatment centre at Kinchant Dam for which the Daily Mercury’s Hub for our Heroes is campaigning.
