SYDNEY, Australia — A Canadian woman told an Australian court on Wednesday that her only role in a plot to smuggle cocaine worth $16 million into Sydney was to make the luxury cruise ship operation look like a vacation. “I was meant to just be there and look like I was on holiday and look like a cover for everyone else,” Roberge told the court. Roberge told the court she initially refused to take part when her unnamed “sugar daddy” asked her to carry drugs on the cruise. As a remand prisoner in a Sydney jail, she had met women who struggle with drug addictions. She told the court she took part to settle a debt in Canada.
