So, he was the one using an angle grinder to get the coke, but he "knew nothing" about his partner's purchase. Riigghhht!

What was filled: the lot, the excavator, or the partner?

276 kilos of coke for $30k? Something is off here.

$30k was on the company books as a cost of purchasing the machine.

A legitimate paper trail to cover the import..I'm just next to where this guy was based, street price for coke is around $300 AUD a gram and is likely to be 80% glucose

Honestly, "spite and rage" might make an effective defense there. I cannot tell you how many times my uncle, enraged at me for doing things not-the-way-he-would-have-done-it, threatened to destroy something I had bought to do something my way. For example: LED light-bulbs. Yes, they have an up-front sticker-shock price, and he hated them over incandescent light bulbs, but the sensible thing, once they're already bought, it to just use them.

Instead he would rage, and scream "I'm gonna break these fuckin' things!" at me.

So, yeah, this guy could potentially defend himself by claiming to be so furious at his partner's profligate spending that, rather than attempt to offload the machine at a loss and recoup some of the money, or trying to find work they could undertake now they had an excavator, he got furious and destructive.

Would that work? Hahahah, who knows? But it might.
