OUT on parole after serving nearly a decade behind bars for running a Newcastle drug syndicate, Joshua Toole jumped back into the "deep end" of the criminal underworld, acting as a "facilitator" for a major ice supply network operating across the Hunter and Central Coast.
Toole, 40, the younger brother of former NSW Deputy premier and police minister Paul Toole, had lost a series of jobs and relationships and relapsed into drug use before he began acting as a "liaison" between an undercover police operative and a network of drug dealers in 2022.
