He won't be charged, he will be given a caution, and told he was a naughty boy.

[**meep**]

my understanding is that yes, he would be deported.

Did Joel not bring his wife and kids to Aust to live for this session of The Voice? Perhaps he should have.

Investigations are continuing but no charges have been laid. NSW law permits authorities to issue a simple caution over such a small amounts of drugs.

A spokeswoman for Channel 9 said that police had told the TV station that no charges would be brought against Mr Madden. She declined to comment on whether he would be sacked.

From that article looks like no charges.

He wouldn't be allowed back in this country again either would he if he had a drug related conviction?

What????

For a little bit of grass, ott I thinks.

Posh hotels obviously have zero drug tolerance...they wouldn't want to get reputations for being dens of iniquity.

no charges will be laid....standard procedure for less than 15 grams. police found 5 grams.

One rule for the rich and famous.... another rule for the "plebs"

When police stopped a 30-year-old homeless man last year, they asked if he was carrying anything that he should not be carrying.

After he was told he would be searched, Mr G produced a cigarette packet with 1 gram of cannabis in it. He was charged with possession.

A week later, Mr G and the police met again.

Without prompting, Mr G told police he had a small amount of cannabis (1.9 grams). Mr G had previous convictions for drug offences, and was charged again following this latest disclosure.

I wonder when the coppers will be dropping back around to Joel's hotel

... to search it just in case....???

HE was never far from trouble and the police were never far behind.

Yet when he was handed a juvenile jail sentence of 12 months for possessing hardly more than a gram of marijuana with a street value of about $10, Laurence Boney, then 17, was stunned.

"I felt angry, like I wanted to get up and throw something at the judge," says Boney, from Dubbo in NSW's central west.

"I know he's trying to protect all the people in the community and that, I just felt real angry when he gave me the sentence. I felt like banging my head against the wall."

Boney lives in Alcheringa Street in West Dubbo, a crime hotspot according to local police. All the homes in the street are housing commission.

One local told The Weekend Australian that after dark, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights, the area was chaotic and a "no-go zone".

without knowing the full history of others we can't comment?......but it is still standard procudure apparently not to lay charges on the small amount. Maybe his clean record helped?
