A Policia Federal Australiana disse que este foi o maior carregamento interceptado na história do país.
Dois homens foram indiciados por tráfico de drogas.
Michael Keenan, ministro federal da Justiça, disse que cristal meth, ou ice, continua sendo a epidemia mais séria que a Austrália teve que enfrentar na sua história.
"This is the second record seizure this year following on from a record seizure of cocaine that was done with federal law enforcement and New South Wales law enforcement up in Sydney working in conjunction with each other. Because of this seizure, the police have taken almost $900 million worth of drugs off the streets. This is money that hasn't gone into the pockets of organised criminals and, of course, it means this is an enormous number of hits of ice that have been taken off our streets."
O primeiro-ministro Malcolm Turnbull elogiou o trabalho da Força de Fronteiras e das autoridades policiais australianas.
"Our response, to ice, is ruthless, interception of trafficking, of smuggling, of dealing, we are working domestically and internationally to catch these merchants of death."
