Hi Roz
Did you not study history ( only jesting )

It was the worst penal colony in British Empire in 19th century. After penal colony closed name of state changed to Tasmania. Both named after explorers from The Netherlands.

If Police are aware cannot understand how they are still doing it or indeed decide it is worth the risk. But then what would happen , could not return them to their country of origin in case they are hurt, maybe 6 months community service.
