Racing pigeon dope scandalBy Katie LapthorneOctober 15, 2004
A PIGEON fancier who grew more than 200 marijuana plants yesterday lost his bid to fly the coop.
Racing pigeon,,, drug addict?
David Wallace Burgess is serving a one-year prison term despite his repeated claims that he only grew the crop to feed 40 of his 900 racing pigeons.
The Court of Appeal heard Burgess, 55, pleaded guilty in the County Court in May to cultivating a commercial quantity of cannabis after 227 plants were found on his Devon Meadows property.
The court heard Burgess claimed the crop was not for trafficking but feeding his birds for "supreme health and quality of their coat".
But Judge Elizabeth Curtain rejected his claim, saying the volume of the crop suggested it had been grown for commercial reasons.
Burgess appealed against his sentence, claiming it was not open to the judge to make that conclusion.
Court of Appeal president Justice John Winneke and Justices Stephen Charles and Geoffrey Nettle ordered that Burgess's original sentence of three years' jail, with two years suspended, stand.

I used to raise Birminham Rollers and I can say that they go fucking apeshit for hempseed... all pigeons do. But I bought steam-sterilized seeds, I didn't try to grow them myself.

Loved the interview with him in Sight and Sound:
"We wanted to avoid having American stars," says Hillcoat. "We wanted it to be a real Australian film - Australian talent and English talent - because Australia has such great actors."
"We did think of asking Eddie Murphy to play one of the aboriginals, though," jokes Cave.
Hillcoat rolls his eyes.
