Sniffs Marmaduke Pickthall, "Pooh-pooh!
The faith of my fathers won't do,
But a Musulman can
And his holey divan?

#3 Dad 'ripped up walls' before sending 'asbestos parcels' to consulates

Huh? Well this is different.

A Victorian father has been charged with posting dozens of suspicious parcels containing asbestos to consulates and embassies across the country.

Savas Avan, 49, faced Melbourne Magistrates Court this afternoon, charged with sending 38 dangerous articles in the post; a Commonwealth offence.

Federal and Victorian police allege Mr Avan ripped up the walls of his Shepparton home, packaging the broken pieces of asbestos before allegedly mailing them on January 7.
