I heard that. Was he taking it there or is it his habit. Would love to know what the cops know about the parents.

Very odd polks, his Lawyer is suggesting it's not uncommon for the tests done by prison authorities to get a false/positive result but 4 times in a matter of a month seems a bit unrealistic to be unreliable testing.

An unnamed worker claimed contact visits were usually suspended if a visitor returned three positive tests.

However Mr Baden-Clay and his family have denied any suggestions that they were linked to illegal drugs.

I wouldn't think he could be charged with anything - traces could be from lots of things, anyone can have traces of all sorts. Handling money, shaking hands, he would have to admit to smoking and or selling it for charges.

True Boris, but you would think with 4 positive tests there must be some truth to the allegations, or maybe it's a disgruntled employee. Gerry might have knocked him back

Anyone can have traces of drugs in their clothes just by walking past someone smoking and illegal drug, the smoke would be in their clothes.

Illegal drugs are everywhere these days, you dont have to use it yourself to have it in your clothes, just being near or sitting next to someone.

I doubt very much if senior Baden Clay is on drugs or taking them to his son.

Before you ask...........my stepson has been on illegal drugs and I know the smoke has been in my clothes.

News Corp getting a bit carried away as usual?

Mr Baden-Clay's lawyer Peter Shields said "there was no real evidence" or public interest to justify running a story about the drug tests.

"Nigel Baden-Clay and his family do not use illegal drugs," he said.

"I know from professional experience the jail scanners are unreliable and have a history of returning false positives."

Mr Shields said he had advised the Baden-Clay family to consider suing News Corp for defamation.

. . . it's not uncommon for the tests done by prison authorities to get a false/positive result

Wow, this is interesting on so many levels.

Are they inept in their testing procedures?

Are prison authorites highly represented here as people who love to smoke pot, thus introducing an unintended self-contamination in their testing procedures?

Are they doing it deliberately?

I'm going with "inept". 😉
