From ABC News Dutch aid led to ecstasy haul: Ellison Federal Justice Minister Chris Ellison has paid tribute to Dutch authorities, saying they played a significant role in the largest seizure of the drug ecstasy in Australia's history. Police impounded 700,000 tablets of ecstasy with an estimated street value of $45 million in Sydney on Christmas Eve. Senator Ellison says the bust will have a dramatic effect on Australia's drug market. "That's 700,000 hits of the drug that won't be reaching the streets of Australian cities and towns," he said. Three men have been charged over the haul and police say further arrests are likely.
