“Try it, it’s panadol. Panadol brother,” the man shouts in the video.

“Test it, it’s panadol!”

The police claim the man later confessed the powder was cocaine.

Local media reports the police said the bag had been sent for testing and the test showed the powder to be cocaine.

A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesman confirmed an Australian had been detained in Bali.

“We are in contact with local authorities and stand ready to provide consular assistance, to any Australian citizen, should they request it,” the spokesman said.
