Steve,

It amazes me that you can write anything, seeing as you apparently can't read. Douche Bag.

Why don't you get a phycologists to see if shes lying, cuase i bet you that she is telling the truth. That man finding drugs in his bag years ago , should be regarded in the case just as must as fords opion. Australia do have a duty to help there own citizen rather than letting her die.. Is Australia the one with blood on its hands.. i think so

Mr Howard. Your turn.. You ARE the leader of the best country in the free world...SHOW IT! Stand up to these so called people and do the right thing.
You stepped in personally once before for a damn crim to be freed in some 2bit country but you will not
do the same for a innocent woman in Indonesia.. WHY????
We the people, demand answers and demand action from YOU!!! Don’t sit there and LIE to us saying you cant
do anything...Press the Indonesian president directly for a pardon..(you have done it before).
Any one with half a brain can see Schapelle Corby is innocent, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT..... AND you CAN do something..

Posted by: Michelle | Apr 1, 2005 9:23:55 AM

our stupid government is shamefull. everything is about politics. they all hide under the safety of the governemt and its rules. no-one is willing to forget about their reputation and help another human being. Corby is another victim in a politics debate...nothing ever gets down unless the government says its ok...her life depends of complete f**ks, that would rather save their careers than her life.

Posted by: Marika | Apr 1, 2005 10:56:43 PM

So very wrong!
An innocent woman will die, and you our leaders are just going to let it happen. Its deplorable that she is still imprisoned let alone very close to being sentenced to death. BRING HER HOME! Stop sending Indonesia money, arms and supplies and discourage travel and Australian dollars into their ecomony, until they send her home ALIVE!
A psychotic bomber gets a few years jail and an innocent woman will be given death by firing squad, yet you our government continue to help an unwanting, ungrateful nation that only looks after their own.
Wake up and start taking care of your own, thats what your enormous paychecks are for and thats what your citizens not only expect WE DEMAND it!

Posted by: Nicole | Apr 2, 2005 6:44:56 AM

Everyone is quick to say that Schapelle Corby's blood will be on Australia's hands if she dies. I disagree.

Here's a list of people I'd like to send a big "F*** YOU" to if Corby is executed:

1. Drug traffickers responsible for the crap landing in her luggage. YOU should be facing that firing squad, not her.

2. The Indonesian Justice System. "We're perfectly capable of carrying out those tests on our own, thank you" - for a country with such a vicious penalty for ganja trafficking, they have piss-poor forensics methods. If they had a decent setup, they most likely could have traced the drugs to their Australian origin based on previous busts, which could vastly boost Corby's case.

Also, the very fact that the stuff loses probably 75% of its street value the moment it hits Bali makes it highly unlikely that anyone would intentionally take it there.

3. Protestors calling for her execution - case ain't closed, dirtbags. Lets plant drugs in YOUR family members bag then barrack outside court to have him/her shot to death, before they've had a chance to defend themselves.... and see how you feel about it.

4. Anyone in Indonesia or Australia or anywhere else who are rubbing their hands together, gleefully using this as a chance to make an example of a Westener, regardless of merit.

Now, I do think that the Australian government should do everything it can to repatriate Corby, but I definately think that there are those who will be far more accountable for her death than the Govt. if she is executed.

All that aside, let's pray that she is cleared.

Posted by: Rich | Apr 2, 2005 11:21:41 PM

God Bless Schapelle,

Please bring her home safely.

Executing her would be evil in the purist form!

Posted by: Belinda | Apr 5, 2005 12:50:16 AM

I firmly and solidly beleive Schapelle Corby is innocent and should be brought home asap, her parents deserve to see her grow and mature .

Posted by: Anthony | Apr 5, 2005 1:06:40 AM

It is so great to see that us Aussie's can stand together and help people in need..This year has really shown what we are made of.. It is a shame that our government won't do the same for our their own people... Schapelle Corby is an innocent victim and this could of happened to anyone..It is to scarey

Posted by: tim | Apr 5, 2005 11:22:29 AM

i think schapelle corby is guilty - her punsihment will come to her

Posted by: brett highwman | Apr 7, 2005 4:47:59 AM

It really is great top see how much support that Schapelle is getting from everyone in Oz. Lets just pray that the Indonesian Judges see how innocent she is in all of this, and lets her come home safely.

I read that Aussies on holiday in Bali took time to visit Schapelle in prison and brought her some things to make her a little more comfortable. I would really like to be able to send a care package to her, to show that we do care and support her fight. I doubt that anything posted would actaully get to her. Does anyone know how I could go about it.

A QANTAS baggage handler was just sacked for digging into a passengers luggage and wearing the head from his camel's costume ! Heaps of people rang in to TripleJ during a phone in claiming they knew baggage handlers who actively traffic drugs between major Aust capital cities.

The likelihood that the HUGE bag of drugs this lady was caught with in Bali was accidentally left from the Australia domestic leg of her trip is equally huge.

A person would have to have an IQ of single digits to think a bag that size would get through customs - it 99.9 % MUST have been planted by someone who thought it would be collected before any form of customs search.

All politicians suck. Its as simple as that. Our country probably allowed her to leave Australia having had her bags interfered with, why should they not get involved ?

Hope to christ it goes ok for her. If only it had been Alexander Downer whose luggage had drugs planted in it - I bet he wouldn't still be languishing in a jail cell.

Some Australians need to get off their bloody high horses. Whinging about the death penalty in Indonesia... I bet you were the same people that were screaming for blood after the Bali Bomb. The Indo's simply found a girl with dope in their airport. Your misguided outrage should go towards Customs etc in Australia.

And you expect Canberra to help her? Why didnt our two citizens in Guantanamo Bay recieve as much support for their return - several years in prison without any charge? You people like to come to your own conclusions before any processes have finished, and more often than not it reveals the inherent fear of non-white-anglo-saxons in a majority of Australians.

And tell me, where is the relationship between humanitarian aid for victims of a natural disaster and a girl found with drugs on her? What a fickle lot some of us are.

Im an expat living in Asia (funnily enough, Indonesia), and standing on the outside and looking in, the way some of us behave worries me.

Anyone who visits Bali is obviously free to mingle with end of season footy teams, fat german and oz paedophiles and all the usual suspects lining up for beach and in-room massages and all the other delights of what used to be a worthwhile and fascinating place.

Ron Bakir is perhaps to be congratulated for his innovative approach to the Schapelle Corby case, attempting to raise $1M as a reward for information that would free her. However, the cash idea, if not managed properly, may fail, and in any case, other input is needed.

Ron, or some other interested party, needs to engage a highly-skilled and well-connected organiser, possibly a highly-motivated volunteer, whose sole and full-time activity would be to seek the positive and properly-managed involvement of a great many more people. Newspaper editors, politicians, personalities, sportspeople, business leaders, well-known folk from the arts, to name just a few – they all, in their own way, may have something besides cash to contribute, creating a ground swell that could bring about a solution satisfactory not just to the Indonesian judicial system but to all decent Australians.

Exactly this type of organising was possible to help the tsunami victims. Surely we could do as much for one of our own.

Posted by: michael | Apr 14, 2005 1:11:30 AM

I was at a nightclub a few years ago and went to the toilet, in the bowl of the toilet was a bag with white powder in it, i tried to flush but it would not go down, i got the hell out of there quick smart now i think back to that night if the police had of found me in there with that bag of powder that someone else had put in there.
I will not believe that she took that bag to bali no way it just does not make sense.
pray for her, remember it could have been any of us or our family sitting in that court.

Posted by: Paul | Apr 14, 2005 5:13:21 AM

Schappelle is innocent and it is remarkable that Qantas has done nothing to help....perhaps offering some assistance to her mum and dad and sister? After all...werent we all "fooled" into believing since September 11 - all baggage would be checked and kept "safe" for travellers? What happened to the security video at Brisbane/Sydney when Schappelle's baggage went through? There is something so sinister in this and the politicians are totally inept...how safe are we really with idiots that we have on both sides of Government?

Posted by: BK | Apr 14, 2005 7:37:13 AM

Schapelle is an attractive white woman who was caught with drugs in Indonesia. The support she receives is very much based on her appearance and manner rather than any credible research into the evidence to date. I am disappointed at the simplistic, black and white analysis I have read here. These hard and fast opinions are more indicative of mental shortcuts favoured by those not blessed with the patience or intelligence to look beyond the popular press.

I challenge you to predict your reaction if this person was a publicly unemotional Australian of Indonesion origin.

Posted by: monty | Apr 14, 2005 8:17:16 AM

I wish I had the guts to blast the arseholes of the world into space, especially Corporate Arselicker Johnny Howard. He should be breaking his balls top help Schapelle Corby, not sucking up to the Indonesians for profit.

A very pissed off citizen of the world!

Posted by: Jane Scrivenor | Apr 14, 2005 10:56:50 AM

whats the real deal behind RON BAKIRS $$$$$ help.

maybe he has something to do with the drug smuggling.

have spoken to many people about thius man and many say he is real scum - waiting to have his gold coast whore come back to australia and then have her killed anyway

or have her be a sex slave for years anyway

just watch

by the way the reason she had the bag of dope in was beaciuse she was so stupid she missed her domestic flight and the bag was not picked up in the place she would have been

its shappelle and ron vs indonesia

Posted by: crazy joe | Apr 14, 2005 4:57:31 PM

This poor girl how much more can she take. Its disgusting and barbarick to think that she could be held in that filthy crowded cell totally un hygenic with minimal water and boiled rice wondering each day if she is going to be held in front of a firing squad to end her young life... It brings tears to my eyes seeing the way they are treating her. The stress she is enduring is beyond anyones belief. How the Bali government can allow such torcher to humans is unusual for this day and age... It is 2005 right? This is draining her mentally and physically and not to mention the anguish it has on her family and friends and people in general around the world. We can do nothing but pray for her and hope that this will end in a posative way.

Posted by: bel | Apr 14, 2005 6:59:05 PM

It is only the grace of God that it is not one of us, even me, sitting there, being trialed for someone else's fuckup. I mean, we know Indonesians are corrupt and it is true that they are the capital of Gunja. I mean, why would anyone in their right minds smuggle drugs INTO Bali. It would be better to bring the cheap shit OUT and re-sell in Australia. They declined the Australian Police testing because they knew what the results would be! I mean, come on. Obviously Indonesians think we are just stupid and if they want to treat me as stupid then I'll act stupid. I am too stupid to take my annual holiday in Bali, which in turn means the other members of my family who go with me are too stupid to go. The flow on effect is that we can't spend our stupid money and get their stupid economy back up again. We need to boycott their "ignorant" country and hoiday elsewhere. God knows how many times I have been there and not locked my suitcase. I mean, I am going TO Bali. Most times I have to buy a bloody lock for my suitcase before I leave Bali to fly back. I have a collection of locks! I used to feel safe there, but now it is the place of nightmares. God forbid we should ask for our foreign aid back after the tsunami. I don't think supporters of Schapelle Corby are asking for anything unreasonable. We are just asking for JUSTICE. That word IS found in the Indonesian dictionary with the explanation beside it of, "Corrupt. Taking money from Drug Cartels."

Posted by: cookee | Apr 14, 2005 8:55:30 PM

We can all learn a lesson from schapelle's case,whether she is guilty or not.what has happened to her will serve as a reminder to us all to be more careful when travelling abroad.I can not bare the thought of someone being wrongly incarcerated in a foriegn country.We are all already guilty by assosiation with the americans...targets,unwilling combatants,mere foot soldiers to the lowly ranks of howard,bush etc.life can really suck!!!!

Posted by: jp | Apr 14, 2005 11:25:12 PM

Dear folks

I don't see what, if anything, some of these ill-informed and emotional arguments add to the situation.

The fact is that Corby is far more likely to be found guilty than not guilty for the following reasons, among others:

1) She was found with a shitload of dope in her bag

2) The conspiracy theory re: baggage handlers is so far fetched it is very surprising that the informer was even allowed in Court. He certainly would not have gotten a hearing in Australia's justice system. It is hearsay - look it up - and hearsay from a gent who has a history of turning informer to get himslef a deal. Not to mention that he overheard someone talking about what someone else had done! Which is kinda like double hearsay!

3) The likes of Ronny boy railing against the Cwth Govt does her no favours. Think about it ... if some private sector 'hero' is effectively saying that you are deliberately being unhelpful and even a hindrance to anyone who'll listen, you wouldn't feel like helping him out, would you? I know that seems simplistic, but there are respectful and smarter ways to handle things than running off to do an interview on talkback radio every time things don't go your way.

Anyway - I do feel sympathy for her and who knows ... she may even be innocent. But the fact remains that the Indonesians are entitled to judicial independence and entitled to follow their own process. To this point, they have been very transparent and the process appears sound. They can only decide on the evidence presented and ... on that basis ... she's pretty screwed.

In all likelihood, she will receive a custodial sentence that the Aust Govt will successfully negotitate to be served here. But I wish her luck!

Posted by: Mark | Apr 15, 2005 12:43:47 AM

First of all, Couldn't she feel the weights in her bags, couldn't she tell the different when she got her luggages.

The 4.2 kgs isn't that light, I'm pretty sure that it's her drugs !!!

I don't want to believe that it's hers but why didn't she do something when she got them. She should have realised that there were something in there which didn't look good. AND SHE SHOULD HAVE LEFT THAT LUGGAGE NEAR THE CONVAYER WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE THAT'S HERS. !!!! untill it got inspected and cleared.

I don't want to believe it but it could be hers !!!

From Stigg

Posted by: Stig | Apr 15, 2005 1:22:10 AM

But it it's her drugs, how did she get through the custom in Australia

This is insane... So fucking insane !!!

Posted by: Stig | Apr 15, 2005 1:26:11 AM

Stig - it aint that hard to get drugs through customs. Only a portion of all baggage gets searched ... it's just a matter of playing the odds.

Posted by: Mark | Apr 15, 2005 1:30:25 AM

Paul! So it was you that tried to flush my drugs down the toilet!

Posted by: Mark | Apr 15, 2005 1:41:40 AM

Stig, Once you hand the luggage over you don't see it again 'till you arrive at your final destination. It gets shifted from plane to plane for you on connecting flights, so she would have known nothing about it till it was too late.

Also, customs are more interested in luggage coming into the country than luggage leaving the country, in fact before 911, they really didn't bother at all with outbound luggage.

No point in leaving it on or by the conveyor, luggage doesn't get cleared there, you gotta pick it up and take it to them.

IMHO, she's innocent, who would take 4.5kg of pot in a clear plastic bag just chucked in a boogie bag to a country that has the death penalty to sell it at a loss!!

Posted by: Ra | Apr 15, 2005 6:24:14 AM

Just back from Bali, you can read of my experiences at the Corby trial on my blog

Posted by: GuruAnn | Apr 15, 2005 7:07:16 AM

According to Bali drug laws, possession is everything and sufficient prove to find the accused guilty of the crime. The bag was Schapelle's, the drugs were Schapelle's and unless she can prove that somebody else put them there, there is no escape. So now it is up to her legal team to try and establish her innocence because, as far as the Bali authorities are concerned, the case is closed and she is guilty.

This is a legal system that shows no mercy whatsoever for drug traffickers. This is a system that does not give the accused the benefit of the doubt and even if it has not been proven that they were her drugs and that she placed them in her bag, it assumes that the accused is guilty (end of story). There is no compassion or understanding at all. It is a black and white, inhumane and barbaric system which does not consider any other possibilities.

The saying innocent until proven guilty does not apply here, instead a more appropriate one would go something like ‘remain guilty if you are accused until proven otherwise’. If you can not prove otherwise you remain guilty and will endure extreme suffering and your life is not worth living or will be short lived. The possibility that Schapelle was framed and the drugs planted in her bag is not even considered unless she or her legal team can prove so, which is an extremely difficult if not impossible task. This is what I call a situation of total hopelessness and desperation!

I thought we lived in a day and age where this type of thinking by general consensus was considered as being unacceptable and a thing of the past. It is beyond my comprehension that such a way of thinking is still existent in today’s day and age.

This could have happened to me or you or a beloved member of your family. Enough is enough! Schapelle has endured enough suffering. Bring her home as swiftly as possible. It is the only moral thing to do. Please do the right thing!

Posted by: tommo | Apr 15, 2005 9:25:51 AM

Since when do we believe people who smuggle drugs and say it not their's? Don't they all lie? People should think twice before wanting to make a quick dollar rather than trying to defend drug dealers and smugglers.

Posted by: Ric | Apr 15, 2005 6:46:17 PM

Why would anyone want to smuggle drugs into Bali?( let alone loosely placed inside a boogie board bag) where they would be a lot cheaper to aquire than from Australia, where the drugs would have a higher street value. (talk about sending coals to Newcastle)
At first I was confused as to why Schapelle did not notice the extra 4kg. of weight, when picking up her Boogie board from the luggage carousel. But it appears her brother was carrying it (being unfamiliar with it's weight)hence the custom's official asking him if it was his boogie board.
As though the boogie board was targetted in advance for a search.
Schapelle's loosely placed flippers inside the boogie board would have been a green light for who ever planted the package, knowing a loosely placed package would go unnoticed.
Plus her brother would not have noticed anything suspicious about a loosely moving object inside the boogie board bag, if he thought it was just his sister's flippers.
The key to Schapelle's innocence is her not picking up the boogie board from the luggage carousel.

Posted by: Colin | Apr 15, 2005 8:55:47 PM

Truth is, no one would give a shit if this was a man. We'd all say he was guilty and got what he deserved.

But everyone still seems to think women don't deserve the same JUSTICE that men receive. Especially if they are young and (although I don't think she is, others do) pretty.

I hope they shoot her to send a message to drug smugglers and women who think the courts will go easy on them because they have a cunt. BURN IN HELL SCHAPELLE.

Posted by: Darkfalz | Apr 16, 2005 2:34:03 AM

Dear Darkfalz, I think you are in need of some desperate therapy about your misogany.
I couldn't in my wildest dreams pull a good looking bird like Schapelle, but that doesn't mean I'd get off on seeing her face a firing squad. Even if she was guilty it is a barbaric sentance.
What make's this case unique is that the crime was commited in Australia, most drug traffickers get caught smuggling their booty out of a 3rd world country not into one.

Posted by: Colin | Apr 16, 2005 7:02:49 AM

It's good to see so many Aussies around the world supporting Schapelle, I've just seen the official web site http://www.dontShootSchapelle.com and discovered that it is being run by a team of ex-pats who are e-Commerce experts in London's financial district. I can't afford to donate $1,000, but I've put in my beer money for this weekend (all $20 of it) and I hope they can save her soon because this kind of injustice is just so stressful for me.

Dear Mark: As you are referring to the Indonesian judicial process; do you feel it was fair that the cleric (Bakir?) who arranged for over 200 people to be killed (a lot of them Australians) only got 2 years in jail, as opposed to this chick, found with some drugs in her bag, and could possibly be shot? Yep, sounds fair to me. Not.

Posted by: The Edge | Apr 16, 2005 5:43:01 PM

Dear "The Edge"

You are not comparing apples with apples. By trying to compare two completely different cases you are setting up a 'straw man' argument (ie. setting up a simple but misleading comparison - the straw man - and then proceed to blow it over).

I'm not suggesting that all criminal trials are fair in Indonesia ... nor are they always fair here. If you are to look at the Bakir case, most Australian legal and constitutional analysts said they were surprised that he even got convicted on the evidence presented. In fact, they said that had the trial been heard in Australia, the case would have been dismissed at the committal stage.

Corby's case has to be looked at in isolation, and with some emotional detachment if you are to have any insight. This has nothing to do with the Bali bombing.

Anyway ... you guys haven't released anything decent since Zooropa. "How to dismantle an atomic bomb"? ... puhhleaze.

Posted by: Mark | Apr 17, 2005 9:32:56 PM

Qantas should take responsibility - all baggage handling staff that were on duty should be thoroughly investigated. If her luggage was x-rayed and was clear then whoever did the checking should be a witness to this fact.

A reflection from the other side of the world (Sweden) Are you australians really that stupid?
Smuggle drugs from a country with death penalties? Theres is obviously more than heroin that's lethal. She just wanted to make a qick buck, and it went wrong. In the wrong country. I say study and get a job!

Hello Sweden speaker. I know people who have suicided as a result of drug induced Schitzophrenia after using pot. More importantly, I know their families.

Whilst I really dislike pot, I don't consider the use of it as an offence punishable by death or life imprisonment.

Is alcohol use punishable by these penalties? Because I swear to you as god (or the universe) is my witness that alcohol has caused more tragedy in this world than pot.

I have more to this argument but stuff it, I shall leave myself open to critcism.

Schapelle is in all likelyhood innocent. If she were not, she still wouldn't deserve to loose her life, or her freedom for life as a result of this incident.

Otherwise all people who use alcohol, condone its use or legislate in such a way to allow its use, deserve to die.

Posted by: Auswrite | Apr 19, 2005 8:06:02 AM

in all the comments that i have read no one has mentioned the smell. that much pot, that high grade would stink. how would she have handed it over the counter in brisbane with it smelling like that?.. it wasnt concealed, a boogy board bag is thin material and there wasnt anything else in the bag to hide the smell.... it would have been suspicious then....but it wasnt and again in sydney when she transferred to bali... the smell even on a trailor full of other luggage.no footage of her luggage in aus, no wieghts available....hello?... there is something wrong here, and i think QUANTAS needs to take some responsiblity once she IS PROVEN INNOCENT!!!

Posted by: fairy | Apr 20, 2005 7:09:35 AM

Confirmed - Schapelle Corby will not Die !..., that's step one.
Indonesian prosecution Recommended - Life and a $13,500 fine, so far Ch(9) Melbourne. SHE IS SAFE !
It may be that a 'Life Sentence' in any Indonesian Jail may well be 'Cold Comfort' for Schapelle,
despite the Balinese heat, but compared to 'Death by Firing Squad', it would never the less be a
great traumatic relief. Even though the three Indonesian Judges can by law still imposed a Death
Sentence, that probability is all but ruled out by the court. It is the crucial break which Schapelle
and her defense needed. Without such a public announcement by the prosecution, her life would
have still hung in the balance. Miss Corby's team is yet to make the final plea against the severity
of a life sentence, including where the sentence should be served, if at all.
It has no doubt been a long and despairing journey for Miss Corby, from her cell to the courthouse,
but armed with the knowledge of her innocence, and with the knowledge that a nation was with
her all the way, surely would have eased the burden of her trip. She has taken that vital fist step,
but as we all know, the longest journey starts with a single step. Schapelle has begun her journey.
Let's walk with her all the way. Please continue your invaluable support for her. Lighten her load.

Dear Micki from Sweden.
While it's great that this case is getting noticed around the world, you need to read the basic facts first as you have them wrong (or arse-end-around as we say down here).
Schapelle is accused of smuggling drugs INTO Indonesia. To give you an idea, it would be like someone importing snow from Greece to Greenland.
Given the price of pot in Australia vs the price of pot in Indonesia - anyone doing that would be stupid - there's no "quick buck" to be made. And then to smuggle it into a country with the death penalty, where you would also be making a HUGE financial loss on it, it just doesn't add up.

And really, getting past all that, for such a quantity, surely you'd go to the trouble of having a false bottom in your suitcase? Not just chuck it into a cloth boogey-board bag....
THESE are the main reasons why at first mention of this case, 99% of australians immediately figured that something was blatantly wrong.
When the baggage handler story broke (where it's claimed that the shipment, planted by baggage handlers, was destined for a domestic market, but got missed in Sydney), it filled the gaps so smoothly it really seems like the most plausible explanation, and unless someone can come up with something more plausible than that, most Australians (and anyone else in the world with half a brain) will accept that as the most likely scenario.

CORBY IS GUILTY!

Why should another country-in this case Indonesia- be forced to change their laws to suit the Australian Government and Corby?

I don't know why every one keeps going on about how cheap pot is in bali and how its illogical to smuggle drugs into the country. Stranger things have happened than people smuggling drugs into bali. And anyway, the pot that you buy in bali that's cheap is shit. If you want to score good hydro, which is what Chappelle had, and a great big stinking four kilo of it, you will still pay twenty australian dollars for about a gram and a half. The cheap pot in bali is shit pot. She could have made heaps out of four kilos of quality marijuana, especially if shes grown it, or someone she knows has grown it.
That said, no one should be killed or locked up for smuggling drugs of any kind. Thats just fucken stupid.

And the comments I just read at www.dontshootschappelle.com, which say the four and a half kilo of high quality hydroponic weed could be bought in bali for 'under $100' is absolute, 100% bullshit. Fucken hell, figure that out. A quarter of an ounce can cost a hundred bucks here (in australia). Even at the extremely cheap rate of 200 an ounce: four and a half kilo, roughly ten pound = 160 ounces x $200 (and thats a damn cheap ounce) = more than thirty fucken grand. So I can score thirty thousand dollars worth of excellent quality pot for under a hundred bucks in bali. How the fuck would they be able to pay for the hydro equpment, fertilsers, lights, electricity, all that shit that you need to grow that sort of pot?
Good pot is only a tiny bit cheaper in bali. You cannot buy four kilos (thats alot of pot people) for under a hundred dollars, or under a thousand dollars for that matter. Go and try, I dare ya. And if you do manage it, Im having a party next month and you're welcome to come.

Ultimately the case will rely on facts. 1. drugs were found in her bodyboard bag. 2.someone will have to pay for the crime.(it all can't be swept under the carpet).
so it doesn't bear well for Ms Corby.
tho'
there may be a chance that diplomacy will work here.

Posted by: bookwit | Apr 24, 2005 12:22:59 AM

Just a question - all the reports say that it was "top-quality hydroponic marijuana", yet they also say that no forensic testing has taken place on the pot yet.
So, how do we know that it actually was hydro? You can speculate that it's hydro due to it being out of season for bush buds, there's nothing to say it hadn't been stored for a few months.
And you can't tell from just looking at it or smelling it. I have had great success with outdoor growing in producing big, fat, smelly, sticky buds which have fooled many seasoned smoker into thinking they were hydro.
My own personal experience is that quality comes down to the strain and TLC, rather than whether grown indoors or outdoors. All the same nutrients can be fed from the soil. The only real advantage of hydroponics is that you can speed the production up and harvest more often.

When someone travels to foreign lands THEY MUST RESPECT THE LAWS AND CUSTOMS OF THAT COUNTRY REGARDLESS OF THEIR "CUSTOMS". If you cant abide by them then dont go there. Simple.

Also when someone travels you should study the Countries customs and laws so that you wont find yourself in "dire straits".

I for one have never been to Indonesia and dont partake or condone any drugs and still am aware that in Indonesia DRUG TRAFFICKING INCURS THE DEATH PENALTY BY FIRING SQUAD. Barlow and chambers shouls have given Australia a stern warning of drug trafficking consequences.

Leave the Judicial system in Indonesia alone for WE are not the Police of the world to act as enforcer of other people elected democratic systems even if WE dont agree with it. If you cant adhere to these cultural differences then stay away from ideologies that dont fit the mindset of Australian laws. Capital punishment in some countries are still a reality and for many Australians they resort to intoxication of synthetic drugs to escape their mundane existance for what else is the purpose of drug induced psycotic adventures?

Lets not make haste and blame OUR Government but society that huge machine that utilizes amphetamines cannabis and heroin to ruin many peoples lives in more ways than one. A drug induced driver with a coctail of alcohol as well has killed many Australians.

Shapelle may in fact be innocent but then Australia isnt owing to its humungous corruptive elements lurking in shady places. Isnt it funny how everyone is converted to religeon when they are really atheists, seeking compassion?

If there is corruption in our airports then no one is really safe and as some have pointed out that baggage handlers are wearing apparel on there heads as a slur towards Muslims the Australia is at fault also. Australian citizens have been masked out of jobs and substitutes from foreign lands have taken jobs of Australian born citizens. Thats the cost that Schappel may be paying for if in deed she is innocent!

Most criminals are always innocent because its human nature to try and get away with their felon. Australia uses lots of narcotics and it goes to show how there is a need for this medium to escape reality. Indonesia is a gateway to lost souls desperate for money and needs that carries with it DEATH as a reward. If Australia would have such a law then there would be a third of the population if not more ON DEATH ROW waiting for the GRIM REAPER to cast the demon out of corruption.

SAY NO TO DRUGS AND KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE!

Jason,
Just speaking hypothetically here, of course.

What if your mum went to bali on a holiday and the suggested scenario actually happened (that a smuggler put the dope in her bag and it got left there)?

What would your views be then?

Posted by: blech | Apr 28, 2005 10:18:29 AM

How did you know that Corby is innocent?
How can she be innocent with the drugs in her bag?
I feel sorry for her for not having a brain...

There are a lot of times that tears cannot fix the problems...

I wanted to support Corby but I'm not convinced that the drug is not hers !!!

Posted by: ClearSky | Apr 28, 2005 7:20:43 PM

Dear Blech,
I would blame Australia for puting the cannibas in her bag. So if she is executed for Australian corruption, Australia is the guilty partner here in this scenario! Sorry Australia is the lucky country, so are the drugs it makes!

Incidently Scapelle has admitted to smoking cannabis in earlier years. She realised she had something in her bag but failed to notify relevant authorities. If it was in my bag I would have taken it out immediately to investigate what the hell it is, in front of any cop, supreme Judge, because what could it be if you didnt put it there in the first place. In other words some of you would carry the bag through customs and then what? Dump it! GUILTY as an accessory! BANG BANG!

Dont piss down my back and tell me its raining! I dont think most of us would try to cover up something that doesnt belong to us and not knowing whats in the bag. She acted rather odd to say the least. How can one glance momentarily at a package and know its contents unless your familiar with its contents. Chinese Tea Perhaps! Lawn clippings? Horse shit? Cheech and Chongs, mulching?

LIZ HAYES: You didn't try to conceal...

SCHAPELLE CORBY: No.

LIZ HAYES: ...what was in your boogie board?

SCHAPELLE CORBY: Well, I don't know if he saw it. I opened it and then I closed it.

LIZ HAYES: So you unzip it?

SCHAPELLE CORBY: I unzip it. He didn't even ask me to. I did it myself. I've opened it and gone and saw it and thought, "Oh, my God. I'm in trouble."

(Bloody IDIOT)

LIZ HAYES: Do you believe they were Schapelle Corby's drugs?

GUSTO WINATA (TRANSLATION): In my mind, yes, I'm sure.

LIZ HAYES: The only thing we do know for sure is once Schapelle checked her bags into Brisbane Airport, she didn't see them again until they arrived in Denpasar. At no stage in Australia was the boogie bag weighed individually nor was it screened for drugs.
Are you telling me you've never ever taken drugs?

SCHAPELLE CORBY: (Laughs nervously) People have experimented when they're in, like, Year 8, Year 9. I did experiment in Year 8 and Year 9, but I get really, really paranoid. I can't... I can't... I can't be around it.

LIZ HAYES: So you did take drugs as a teenager?

SCHAPELLE CORBY: Oh, I experimented. And I'm pretty sure most, maybe 90 percent, 80 percent of teenagers actually do.

LIZ HAYES: So you're ...........

Amen

Posted by: Jason | Apr 29, 2005 5:27:39 AM

Aside from the fact that the murder is not justified for being in possesion of pot, what don't you dickheads who think she's guilty or should die have a read of this:

"From the outset, the customs officers neglected four basic investigative procedures.

They handled the outside drug bag with unprotected hands, taking no precautions against contaminating the only item of evidence. They handled the bottom of the internal bag when they took out the marijuana.

First McComb and then Mercedes, when she got to the airport interview room, protested, demanding the bags be fingerprinted. They got the same reply. "Too late. Too many people have touched them." Mercedes said she replied: "Well, stop it right now." They laughed at her.

But Corby's lawyer, Lily Sri Rahaya Lubis, and her assistant, Vasu Rasiah, insist that most of the bag that actually contained the drugs was still clean because it had not been removed from the external bag. Only the bottom of the internal bag had been handled.

The fingerprint evidence is basic and important. If Corby's prints are on either bag, she is condemned. But if they are not, it is strong evidence for the defence, although not conclusive. Corby told the lawyers to press hard. "They won't find my fingerprints," she said.

In late December, almost three months after Corby's arrest and after repeated requests to have the evidence fingerprinted, the lawyers confronted the director of the Bali narcotics bureau, Senior Commissioner Bambang Sugiarto, who was in charge of the investigation.

Sugiarto had the bags brought to his office in Lubis's presence. "He confirmed the inside bag had not been removed. He said he would have it fingerprinted," Lubis said. But still it was not done.

She says the bag remained uncontaminated when it went to the prosecutor with other evidence on January 6.

But that changed on February 3, when Corby made her second court appearance. In front of the three judges, the internal drug bag was taken out of the external bag and handled freely by a number of court officials, including customs officer Winata, prosecutor Wiswantanu and assistant judge I Gusti Lanang Dauh.

At the close of court that day, the frustrated defence lawyers made a formal application to have the bags fingerprinted. Chief Judge Linton Sirait said he would consider it. "There's still plenty of time," he said. Two court sittings later, the lawyers are still waiting for his decision. Even now, they insist, it is not too late.

A second basic procedure was overlooked at the airport. Two hours after Corby was detained, customs were aware that there were four baggage tags in her name. The bags were only a few metres away, with Katrina Richards, who was anxiously guarding them.

The moment Corby claimed that the marijuana had been put into boogie board bag during transit, the weight of the bags became crucial evidence. If the bags weighed 4.1 kilograms - the weight of the marijuana - more in Bali than they did in Brisbane when they were checked in, then she was telling the truth. If the weights were the same, she was lying.

No attempt was made to search or weigh the bags, even though Corby demanded it. Later, when Corby had lawyers, it was too late. The bags had left the airport. The prosecution made no mention of this or of the failure to take fingerprints.

The third overlooked procedure is even more basic. The customs area at Ngurah Rai Airport is monitored by closed circuit cameras, which observed Corby's actions. They could corroborate or contradict her account. But the prosecutor said they were not checked. The defence has asked to see the tapes. The prosecutor said he would check to see if they were available.

There was a fourth failure. The X-ray machine that detected the marijuana is not equipped to take photographs. So no image was available to show the location of the marijuana in the boogie board bag before it got to customs.

The prosecution closed its case on February 17. It relies entirely on indisputable evidence that the marijuana was found in Corby's boogie board bag and on the contested testimony of two customs officers and two police officers about her actions and responses.

Winata's English-language proficiency was not established and will be challenged. Corby insists her responses were misunderstood. She says his English was not good and they had difficulty understanding each other. McComb, who also spoke to Winata that day, says the same."

The bags HAVE BEEN FINGERPRINTED! This is classified information in the procecution case.

Posted by: Sura jin hayed Kashimari | Apr 29, 2005 6:50:22 AM

The trouble with this whole case is finding a motive. When drug smuggling mules are caught it is a general belief that they have been dobbed in before hand, to act as a decoy smoke screen taking attention away from another smuggler on the same flight with bigger contraband. When the Corby party approached customs the official asked straight away is that your bag, (referring to the boogie board bag) as though he expected to find something in it.
The Sydney Morning Herald article, highlight's Qantas' liability, if the boogie board was weighed by itself there should be historic electronic documentation determining the board's initial weight at time of check in.
This could also explain the Australian Government's reluctance to become to involved, as they are a majority shareholder in Qantas & thus a conflict of interest ensues. Qantas would be liable to mass litigation should it be proved they were negligantly liable in having their passengers' baggage interfered with.
The Australian Gov. have a history of pulling out all the stops to protect Qantas. A few years ago all Ansett flights were grounded by the government over dubious safety allegations, shortly after the company was purchased by Air New Zealand, so as to protect Qantas from any competition.

Doesn't anyone find that the media is really biased and doesn't really present any actual facts about the case?

i don't necessarily think Schapelle Corby is guilty, I just think the media is playing their cards right in portrayng Schapelle in a good light.
We only want Howard to do something because we THINK she is innocent. Well, with the Bali 9 do we want Howard to do something for them? We obviously don't think they're innocent.

Understandably, Australia should respect another country's judicial system , what if another country screwed around with ours? Australia has said they will help her out when it comes down to the sentencing.

I really do think Schapelle Corby could be a victim and I do feel for her.

With the death penalty issue, I think it's unfair for us to judge Indonesia for that. For them, it's a part of their life. Yes, to me it's harsh, very harsh. She shouldn't be punished by death if she is guilty.

There are so many holes on Indonesia's part in attempting to sustain and fair trial. As well as Qantas' part in the bag measuring. I guess I don't really know whether she is guilty or innocent, but we need to consider all views.

Posted by: John the gun | May 3, 2005 10:10:16 AM

I spoke to a retired policeman the other day that said the interstate drug smuggling thing through Australian airports is actually happening. However, he said smugglers would never dream of sending such a massive quantity of drugs in one bag as in the Corby case. The baggage handlers standard m.o. is to split their shipments across multiple bags, thus reducing the risk that they might lose all their merchandise.

Also, Schapelle claimed in court to have never had anything to do with drugs. This isn't quite the truth as she used to date a drug dealer (and yes, I know this first hand). I'm not suggesting guilt by association here but I am saying she's foolish for playing the Indonesian Legal System for fools.

I do know another piece of information that proves she's not as sweet and innocent as the Aussie media have made her out to be. However, I won't mention it here as it wouldn't be fair to do so. But who cares anyway? She's been punished enough since that fateful day in Denpasar airport.

So let her go, set her free. The 6+ months she has already spent in gaol is more than enough punishment to fit the crime

I truly hope that the judges find her not guilty or, if the verdict's guilty, sentence her to time already served.

hi

Posted by: | May 4, 2005 9:29:34 PM

I've already asked this, but hoping someone can say one way or the other coz I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere:

has it been proven that it was "high quality hydroponic" weed?

Part of the question of guilt comes down to the theory of the "quick buck" to be made from smuggling, but last year's UN world drug report (http://www.unodc.org/pdf/WDR_2004/volume_2.pdf)places a kilo of local (Indo) weed at U$100.00 (wholesale) or a gram at U$1.10 (retail). And this is in a country with an average annual income of less that U$1000.00, so it would be a bit far flung to suggest she was doing it for money seeing as the profit would be far higher to sell it in Australia ("hmmm" - I'll accept the invite to your party!!).

So was it hydro, or is that still undetermined?

Posted by: | May 5, 2005 8:51:47 AM

hey stincbomb,
just a small point. Australia is well known for having much more tolerant attitudes to pot than almost anywhere else in the world (I think we're immediately behind jamaica and netherlands, but can't quote a source on that - correct me if wrong), and it would be very rare in this country for even a "sweet & innocent" girl to have never had ANY dealings with it (either tried it, have had friends/family into it, maybe gone out with a bloke who's sold a bit here & there - nothing outrageous about that).

but I'm dying to know, and I know you're dying to get a bite (or you wouldn't have said it)....
what IS that other bit of information???

Posted by: blech | May 5, 2005 9:04:34 AM

Ok, well I didn't want to say anything because I only know part of the information. But since you're pleading for an answer I can say that Australian Police were investigating Schapelle before this Bali incident ever happened. Now I must stress, I have no idea what part she played in their investigations, whether she was a suspect in some matter, or even if it had anything to do with drugs. For all I know it could have been something as petty as an unpaid parking fine; I just don't know. Remember, this info came from a retired policeman so his information probably isn't the best these days.

While I'm on the subject, "anonymous" had a good point the other day about the value of the drugs in Indonesia as opposed to their street value in Australia. Now, unless all those nights of watching Law & Order has done me wrong, I always thought that in the English adversarial legal system, one of the first things the Prosecution must establish is motive. Without motive, there's no crime. So how can Corby be so heavily punished when the motive for the crime just doesn't exist? No one in their right mind would export drugs in order to lose money, which is what would have happened in this instance. I sure hope the Indonesian legal system also requires that motive be shown, in which case Schapelle should be a free woman by month's end.

Posted by: Stincbomb | May 5, 2005 11:56:36 PM

Guilty until proven innocent?

Another reason not to go to terrorist-sympathizing hellhole Indonesia. A few months after accepting huge sums of charity during the tsunami disaster, the Indonesian government and people are in a fit of xenophobic rage and determined to lynch a white, infidel Australian girl, Schapelle Corby, dubbed that "Ganja Queen" by the local yellow press.

Worse of all, the farce of Indonesian "justice" has been revealed to the world. Here, the "criminal" (not suspect) must prove their innocence! Never mind that most drug traffickers would take the easily available drugs from Indonesia and sell them in Australia, not bring them from pricier Australia to sell in Bali. Better yet, the integrity of the evidence has been totally destroyed, with everyone including the judge handling the drug bag and getting their fingerprints all over it. After ruining the evidence, the police refused to fingerprint it as the defense asked since the integrity of the evidence has been destroyed (by the police themselves)! And to top it all off, draconian penalties could give the girl either a life sentence or the death penalty. This, the same failed state which gave mass-murderer terrorist mastermind Bashir something like three years for a mini-genocide of infidels in Bali. If this isn't a legal lynching, and a racist one at that, I don't know what is. So chalk up another reason to cancel that trip to the terror-loving, corrupt Javanese empire.

Posted by: V. | May 6, 2005 1:08:04 PM

ok, here's the conspiracy theory...

I might be completely off my tree from smoking some of the stuff that DID get picked up by the baggage handlers (i'm joking of course), but i've been thinking about this one for a while...

There's obviously a close, friendly relationship between the leaders of our two countries. Especially seeing as ours has given theirs billions of dollars in 'aid', etc etc. Susilo Gangbang Yoko-ono says he's "keeping a close eye on the corby case" following all the press and public support in australia.

Now what if something happened to the effect of...

*Aussie gov't: c'mon guys, let schapelle go, we think she's innocent

*Indo gov't: nah, we can't do that - we'll lose face because of our culture/religion/legal system... (insert rest of sentence here). what will you do for us so we don't lose face? (apart from the humungous amount of aid you've already pumped into our infrastructure).

*Aussie gov't: OK, we've got a hot one here - you give us schapelle back and we'll give you something to keep your honour and all that.
We WERE gonna get them when they got to australia, but we'll let you pick them up. There's this bunch of 8 or 9 aussies who will be passing through bali in the next few days......

...and you can kinda work out the rest of the conspiracy theory from here.

I think I've been watching too much X-files and the whole government conspiracies and stuff, but when I ran this one by a couple of very conservative, liberal party, scholarly types, they were very impressed and think that the theory carries a lot of weight.

maybe??

Interesting, there seem to be roughly two main groups of people contributing to this board. I say roughly because there are exceptions also, on both sides.

I'm not talking about the two groups being "for" or "against" schapelle, but more the two groups being those whose comments seem to be triggered by emotion vs. those whose comments seem to be triggered by rational thought.
It's sad to see that there are many out there who say stuff without trying to back up what they say with a bit of logical thought. Nobody will stop you from saying schapelle is guilty, or that she's a whore or a slut or anything like that, but it would be very beneficial to others, as well as to your own side of the debate to try and back it up with either facts or some vague evidence of having put some logical thought into it before posting your message.

Just my 2 cents.

I would love to know whether she is innocent or guilty,that is why this case has attracted so much attention,it's a strange thing to do(take pot to bali(hardly concealed),but i am not in a position to pass judgement on her.I just hope if she is innocent that she doesnt suffer,if she is guilty then she may be lucky to get off lightly.it annoys me that we will probably never know.if anything, i'm sure we have all learnt to lock our luggage....

Dont forget Scapelle Corby is a complete idiot, did you see the footage of her when she was first arrested? she was laughing and jeering "save me!, save me!". How stupid can you be. She's caught with drugs in another country which attracts the death penalty and she thought it was hilarious. Now look at her. We'll never know entirely if she is innocent or guilty but to be honest i dont care either way. Im just sick of hearing about it day after day. But if i had to make the decision i would say she was guilty, but she's obviously not the only one involved...

I heard that her parents own a surf shop in bali. Is this true? And if it is, why was she taking a boogie board with her?

I also heard that her sister's ex-boyfriend was into drugs and is a convicted drug-trafficer. I have no idea whether or not this is true, but it makes you think what information we might be missing out on.

The media has decided what image of her they want to project to the public.

1. Her brother was carrying the bag but has NEVER been questioned, brought forward or interviewed. Why not ? Was he carrying it for her BECAUSE it was heavy. If not why didn't he say 'what the hells in your bag sis' when he picked up a supposed boogy board. It had to weigh at least double.
2. Why did she say 'no that's mine' and grab it when the customs guy asked her brother if it was his (60 minutes interview - her quote) if there was nothing untoward in the bag it didn't really matter did it.
3. Her best friend lives in Byron nuf said about source. (cost in aus irrelevant)
4. Her brother runs a surf shop in Bali nuf said about outlet. (and why bother taking a boogie board when your brother in law runs a surf shop.)
Guilty.

like everyone else in australia, i thought schapelle corby was innocent, but word on the street is that her uncle is heavily involved in dealing. I know im going to cop alot of abuse for posting this, but did anyone even think for a moment that she might have done it? I feel sorry for her too, and think she should be trialled in australia but everyone's so adamant that she's innocent! Theres still no proof yet. Everyone is getting sucked into the hyped up drama they read in trashy papers like the telegraph.

Posted by: softly | May 18, 2005 4:21:57 AM

This has to be one of the most confusing episodes in a century! Im one minute reading one statement and believing she is guilty and the next moment she is innocent. Buggered if I can conclude a solid opinion!

This reminds me of the "fiasco" of the Jaiden Leskie murder in mystery and utter confusion. I believe a WOLF did it, not a dingo killed Jaiden, and Azaria planted the drugs in a boogie bag, who in fact is alive and well. Elvis worked in Brisbane airport and wanted the Memphis mafia to have a "jailhouse rock" and the judge in Indonesia is his uncle! Qantas actually grows "weed" in its cargo hold on their planes using hydroponic lighting.

What the?

I think this is the best "riddle" that if anyone can figure out must be the perpetrator in all these crimes as his or her master "stuff up".

Babylon is at hand as outlined in Revelation of St John the Divine. The GREAT HARLOT rides the red horse!

Did Alcapone plant the marijuana?

I believe it self propagated itself from a wayward seed a drift from the Galapagos Islands!

Posted by: kelly | May 19, 2005 12:34:31 AM

Four things.
1/. How could I not notice my boogie board is suddenly 9 months pregnant and now weighs 3 times as much as when I last saw it?
2/ If those baggage handlers want to send 4.1 kgs of pot to sydney fron Bris, then it would be easier and safer to put 100 bucks of fuel into the old holden (and the pot) and drive down to Sydney. Could sell the pot and the holden and fly back with a massive profit.
3/ Australian pot is highly desired by cashed up whites in the Bali clubs who are used to the australian standard and,holiday cash is meant to be spent.
4/ No-one seems to say much about schapelles days as a tokyo escort girl! Does not suit them to say so.
5/. If she gets to serve her sentence in Australia, then will all the hundreds of other Aussies in Indonesian jails - without blue eyes and pink cheeks - also be brought back (haggard, black-eyed ,and toothless)?

Jame you aint no TOSSER but someone who uses logic to sum up several issues. It does make sense that the boogie board would be noticably bigger and bulge a little more than the profile of the board!

It definately would be like 9 months pregnant and I believe you would feel the added weight or at least notice it.

It definately would be safer to transport the "stuff" via road than by plane. But wait a minute we have STRICT border security, LOL from Brisy to Sydney. LOL

Good points! Makes one wonder of the true motives of this package. Why doesnt Indonesia just build a new prison with state of the art accommodation and WE as Australians can fell comfortable when travelling and OUR mates "fair dinkum" buddies place contraband in our luggage can feel at home there when caught. If not then it still will be a great place to traffic either way if one decides to use their own methods to transport drugs and find respite!

Posted by: john | May 19, 2005 5:56:06 AM

Seems to me like there has been a whole lot of crap floating around about this case. Lets deal with the facts.

1) FACT - a quantity of drugs was found
2) FACT - the drug was dope
3) FACT - the drug was found in a persons luggage
4) FACT - the baggage belonged to Corby.

Now its been said that it is stupid to smuggle dope into Bali as you can get it cheaper there.

WRONG!!! The batch/strain of dope in Corby's luggage is only available in Australia. Its a high strain version that is commonly sold in Australia. The quality of dope in Bali would more than likely be natural so it wont pack quite the same kick. So it is not on feasible but quite possible to have a market for that strain AMONGST the australians visiting Bali. And no doubt, you could probably expect to be charged more for the drug there than here. Austalians dealing to other australians.

Corby's defense is there is likely corruption at baggage handling sections of our major airports. And for some reason, instead of smuggling kilos of a drug that would make you hundreds of thousands, they RISKED being exposed for a relatively small amount dope. Further, the bag handlers in question got paid to turn a blind eye. Did Corby pay to have her baggage handler turn a blind eye? Or, as has been claimed, the drug was supposed to go domestically... Well.. dont you have a section of the airport that handles domestic luggage and another that handles international?

It really doesnt matter anymore. She will be free this time next year sitting on the profits of her book and movie deals and never having to cut hair again. Hell! You might see her at an RSL tour near you!

She will be charged. Australia will then file for a transfer. And her sentence will be commuted. Aint she lucky she is young, female, and white.

Posted by: LatentPatent | May 21, 2005 6:25:13 PM

Some moron further up reckons that Mr Howard should free her because she is pleading for her life. While we are at it, let out the Bali nine. And free the people sentenced to life imprisonment(but only if they plead for their lives..)

Sheeeet... You dont let people go free based on their appeal for freedom. You base it on the evidence. And the evidence is Corby had dope in her possession. As Porky Pig says.. Abi Abi Abi Ahh thats all folks.

Posted by: LatentPatent | May 21, 2005 6:33:27 PM

Why are there morons claiming Corby faces a death sentence???

Dont they read the papers?? Or watch the news???

I think it was January when it was decided that she would not be facing the death sentence.

Relax losers... Take another tote on your dope sticks and for fucks sake get into the real world!!!

I saw exactly the same claim on an american news program only 2 weeks ago and you had to wonder if they didnt get their info from the dweebs on this blog site.

The same american program went on to discuss the prisoner who testified in her case saying he was beaten up when he was returned.

BEATEN UP??? yeah like this story.

If this is an example of the defense team Bakir has paid for, he certainly isnt all that out of pocket.

SHE DOES NOT FACE EXECUTION!!!!

Posted by: LatentPatent | May 21, 2005 6:40:40 PM

I can't remember seeing it anywhere else, but my 2c worth is that something ELSE is going on.

You don't get the full story from watching the evening news!?!

She was an escort in Japan, her dad was busted with dope himself ages ago, and her mum must have been wasted when she named her kids 'Mercedes' and 'Schapelle'. 92% of Ch9 viewers think she's innocent? Well the only conclusion from that stat is that 92% of Ch9 viewers are stoooopid.

How so many can instantly think she is innocent is beyond my comprehension. There are lots of questions that haven't been satisfactorily answered:

Why was she taking an empty body bag to Indonesia? If the excuse was that her brother had a surf shop and was going to lend her a board, why couldn't they lend her a *bag* as well?

From a legal standpoint, the adage 'posession is 9/10ths of the law' is true. The onus is on Schap-wotever to *prove* her alternative baggage-handlers rubbish, and she should at least sack her lawyers.

And that Ron Bakir is a rat himself. He's a bankrupt who is promising money to bankroll a publicity stunt while his creditors are wondering when he'll pay his debts. And why is he bankrupt? Because he stole the idea of 'Crazy Ron's' mobile phone stores from 'Crazy John's'. Crazy Mr Ron obviously didn't consult any trademark lawyers before he tried to rip off the name, and got the pants sued off his @$$. That sent him broke in 2002 with debts of about 2.4 million bucks.

So some philanthropist he is. I could smell him even before he registered "Schapelle Corby Pty Ltd". He's just out to make a buck out of her, I can't believe so many people think he's god. He's a creep.

I reckon she's guilty and she'll get 10-15 years, but that will be cut to about 5 on appeal. Bloody lucky she wasn't headed for Singapore, ay.

Posted by: Ben | May 22, 2005 5:38:41 AM

Fact 1: Ms Schapelle Corby is a drug dealing, attention seeking, that was born from a dishonest family, criminal immoral slut.

Fact 2: Ron Bakir is criminal, bankrupt, tax avoiding shonky businessman who is only interested in the slut for the $$$$$, her big tits and seeking a fuck from her.

Posted by: Little Aussie Battler | May 22, 2005 7:14:15 AM

All of you couch surfing, opinionated losers saying I believe this , that, the other thing; those of you who have hung her in rude comments, etc. are nothing but losers to the nth. All this wanking and got-nothing-better-to-do online banter is doing nothing to help the woman.
She could not have done it alone!
Possession IS 9/10 of the law even in Western countries.
Whether or not she did it, none of you people --for and against-- are helping her out.
She will be sentenced (10-15 yrs).
The whole thing, appeal after appeal?, will do nothing but drain the money bag. Lucky for her she has backers. But that will do nothing to alter the Judges' verdict and sentencing.
The best that she can do is to be creatively extricated as fast as possible by needy artists paid in full for the painting! See?

I have been through this. un-luckily in Japan. There is a learning curve for Schapelle (God help her) and for those who want to really help.

for serious interestees only.

Posted by: malag | May 23, 2005 3:55:19 PM

Look, I'm not saying schapelle is guilty or innocent (although my own personal opinion is that she's innocent).

But many of you have your facts all screwed up. I just want to put a bit of perspective on some of your arguments.

LATENTPATENT, you said
"The batch/strain of dope in Corby's luggage is only available in Australia. Its a high strain version that is commonly sold in Australia".
Where the fuck did you pull that one from? As far as every report I've read (and I've searched hard), IT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED - the origin is unknown, the strain is unknown, the quality is unknown. It's not even known if it was hydro or outdoor. So that is merely speculation.

As far as the airport goes, sure there are sections for domestic vs international luggage. But the plane Schapelle was on went from Brisbane to Sydney (a domestic leg since you have to change planes to fly from Brisbane to Denpasar on Qantas) and luggage would still have been handled on the ground by baggage handlers anyway, regardless of whether it was in the International or Domestic terminal - baggage handlers could still collect the gear from luggage that is destined for an international destination. So the baggage handler story could still stand up to that argument.
Also, the penalty? It was announced that the prosecutors are not SEEKING the death penalty. But the Indonesian judicial system (VERY different to ours) still allows the judges to impose it regardless. So there is still every chance it could happen - although IMO highly unlikely given all the publicity.
And the story about the Victorian prisoner being beaten up was reported in Australia too. Apparently it actually happened.

BEN, she was married to a Japanese man, moved to Japan and came back to Australia when the marriage fell apart. Please provide a credible source of information that suggests she was a hooker.
Her dad was busted with 2g of pot years before Schapelle was even born. And apart from that, the only other records against him are drink-driving charges. For pete's sake, about 90% of people I know fall into this category, yet virtually none of them are "criminals" beyond these misadventures. Mercedes is quite a common girls name, Schapelle - probably less so. Doesn't mean you're a tripped out hippy to give your kids less than usual names.
She took the boogie-board bag to indonesia to carry her body board - there was a boogie-board and flippers in the bag. OK, there's probably many surf shops in Bali. It's a bit presumptuous to think that you can use their stock - what then, dry it off and put it back on the shelf to be sold? Buy it? Why buy it when she's already got her own.
Ron Bakir? Yeh, I can't necessarily disagree - his motives may be questionable, but still doesn't point to Schapelle's guilt or innocence.
And finally, as I said before, the Indonesian judicial system does not work at all the way ours does. Appeals don't work the same - Indonesia is well known for INCREASING the penalty if you appeal unsuccessfully.

Finally, one last piece of food for thought. The judge who will be handing down the verdict later this week has admitted that out of over 500 drug cases he has heard, he has never EVER found ANY of them innocent. He has also said among other things: "if Corby is released, the public think the judges get money or something".
Guilty or innocent, does it sound to you like the verdict will be fair and well considered?

Posted by: blech | May 24, 2005 6:52:17 AM

maleg obviously you are a frequenter of whores like Schapelle.
Maybe you even fucked her for a $$$$
Abuse all you like, but HELLO she is GUILTY.
Her father is a convicted drug dealing criminal.
Ron Bakir makes Ronald Biggs look like a Saint.
Her Brother is a Petty Criminal.
She was a protitute in Japan and most likely Australia.
HELLO why is not Little Johnny too concerned!!!
For she is silly little SLUT that did the CRIME and know must face the TIME.
Pity it is not a public lashing, except the moll would enjoy it.

Posted by: Gordon Melville | May 24, 2005 8:52:12 AM

I know nothing about drugs, other than what I read/see in the media, and hear from others. Like a lot of Australians I struggle to understand why anyone would smuggle drugs into a country like Indonesia, but some of the people here seemed to have compelling arguments (like the quality issue, sale to Aussies etc.) But I do know a bit about airline operations, as I work for one. It seems to me that a large number of people think that its easy to insert stuff into someones' bags. The question most airline staff ask is why would you bother to stick something in a passengers bag when it would be much easier to just put on a 'plane a sportsbag you brought in and ring your contacts up in another port, tell them the flt number and rego of the aircraft and have your contact simply retrieve it. Bear this in mind, putting something in a bag runs the risk of it going wrong (as it "possibly" did in this case) or being seen tampering with passengers bags. Tampering with baggage is a sackable offence and criminal offence and in the case of international baggage draws the attention of Australian Customs Service, it's more trouble than it's worth when you think about it. Like someone else here said, why not drive down to Sydney with the stuff and sell the car and make a profit? If Corby is innocent, I hope she goes free, but if she isn't then no-one should complain about the result.

Posted by: yorkie | May 24, 2005 6:26:29 PM

Something to add to the above, baggage handling areas are not the sort of places where you can consistently do things and not get noticed, large numbers of staff from all sorts of different organisations, not just airline staff, have a real working need to access these areas for a variety of genuine reasons. They are also observed by CCTV, for both security and customs reasons (at international terminals), and regularly patrolled by FedPol, Quarantine and other agencies. It's just not as simple as some of you would like to think, and it is definitely not risk-free. And there is something else to think about as well, most of the people who work there are just like you, honest and have no desire to be involved in anything dodgy. They are just earning a living like you. So the next time you are standing in the queue for a flight, try not to be too clever and ask if your bags are going to be tampered with, just remember they are ordinary people like you, just doing an honest days work.

Posted by: yorkie | May 24, 2005 6:39:21 PM

I agree with you on the issue of honesty among the employees. There are several thousand baggage workers on QFs payroll. Sadly it's only a few bad seeds that ruin their reputation. There are only a dozen or so under investigation for their integrity. There is a small element of corruption in almost any industry - sad but true.
Many people are going overboard with their concerns about their luggage. When you consider how many hundreds of thousands of pieces of luggage pass through the airports every day, then it is a miniscule percentage of this that has been proven to have been an issue.

I agree with the handling areas issue (about it being hard not to be noticed), but there has been a lot of proof lately in the news that it actually does go on despite these risks. Face it, these guys will and do take such risks for the rewards involved. Drugs HAVE been previously, and presumably still do get smuggled through the airport baggage handling system. Bags DO get tampered with (ie., the camel head incident). But the workers' union (TWU?) has previously stood in the way of efforts by the government to increase security checks on the baggage handlers' day to day activities.
IF Schapelle IS innocent and is wrongly convicted, the union(s) in question should be the ones who wear the blame.

Posted by: | May 24, 2005 7:37:40 PM

Fuuuuuck me. The real loser in this case is the Australian Press. What a fucken load of bullshit. I have not read one official news article on the Net that looks into her guilt. Ch9 seem to have all these bullshit shows and all I needed to see was an interview with her brother =bonghead!
You watch the big switch when she is convicted. The media will stick the boot in. Yes the Indonesian penalties are fucked, but we should pressure the Govt to bring the 9 others home to. But NNNNNOOOOOO heroin is a BAD drug!!!! Fucken bullshit.
I watch Ray over the internet and think....If anyone vaguely believes this shit..... The media should do their jobs and investigate the story. Not fuck around with conspiracy theories and dodgy businessmen.
We wouldnt have drug traffickers if there wasnt a demand!!!!
Schapelle Ive already packed a cone for ya love.
See ya soon.

Posted by: | May 25, 2005 3:29:41 AM

I was going to provide another logical statement but I feel that it would be a waste of time. I shall join the conspiracy theorists and just say the following:
1/. Maybe her disgruntled ex-husband - soured by her 'escort' duties in Japan (I have been 'escorted' in Japan and still cannot pass water regularly) -decided to exact a little revenge.Apparently Channel 9 said those two were frequenters of the Bali surf scene for many a year and he now has a job as a baggage handler at Bali airport!
2/.Schapelle said her half-brother (half of what?) had never had any drug convictions and yet,her and BMW(sorry, Mercedes) plus her half-mother Talula visited this hermaphrodite in prison where he resided(watching television and having day trips to the local zoo - as an exhibit)for a drug conviction.Channel 9 said this so it must be right.
3/. Is Blech - a writer on this post - perhaps the other half of her brother? He or it seems to have given an inordinate defence of the indefensible - replete with some remarkable spelling acrobatics(difficult to write through the bars both in jail or at the local menagerie).
4/. The quite ordinary, normal, no drugs, every day next-door Australian corby family operates a fish and chip shop in Southport on the gold coast. Just make sure it is salt that is put on your cod next time and, be suspicious if your chips suddenly increase their weight by a factor of 3 before you open the wrapper.Throw them away and run or you too could end up for a couple of years as a guest of her majesty with nothing to do all day but watch telly, or go out to the local uni (all fees paid for), or have to spend endless hours unescorted at the local beach or shopping centre!
5/. I think it was very cruel to say that schapelle should welcom the death penalty if she believes she might grow up to look like her mother (even worse if she is to look like her father! They say aliens have never visited us. They should look around the chip shops and do some DNA profiling).

Posted by: James Tosser | May 25, 2005 6:59:51 AM

heh, had a chuckle at that one. acrobatics! ;->
the inordinate defense is not entirely that, just trying to fuel our collective thinking - i love to argue about shit, i can do it until the cows come home, even if it's for something I disagree with.
coming out with claims of her whole family being crims, her being a whore, and so on, is all good and well if you can back it up with some actual background on how you came across that info.
I'm interested coz if you dopes who all say that aren't gonna do it, then maybe I'll sell the story to channel 9 and get rich.

Posted by: blech | May 25, 2005 7:36:38 AM

Reply to Blech. I see you are a fellow/fellowess devils advocate. As to fact finding; just hone your data-mining skills and all will be revealed. In my puerile attemps at jocularity,I like to sprinkle snippets of fact. This lends credulity and also makes people think about which parts are fun and which are evidence (schappelle herself admitted to the media that she was an escort girl in Tokyo. Her father and half-brother have convictions on record for those who want to check.
In defense of schapelle, why would she be dumb enough to try to smuggle 4.1 kg of pot through the customs, when her mother could quite easily waltz (waltz!) through with 150 kg strapped to an upper thigh (and her husband big mick strapped to the other)!Would you take the 64,000 dollars or her mums knickers full of 5 cent pieces? The sniffer dogs would run a mile on seeing mum and, once she got outide the airport,Talula could mingle amongst the elephants and never be found.
We should go beyond ideas of prisoner exchange to include members of the judiciary. My uncle -Justice Tosser (so called because of that unfortunate incident with the circular saw) -would like to change places withe the chief judge.He reckons that if scapelle sat on his knee he would give her an honourable discharge!

Posted by: James Tosser | May 25, 2005 9:19:39 PM

Mr Tosser,
Very interesting information! The trouble with most on Schappelles side of "the fence", want to forget past history. Her father was busted for cannibus LONG AGO and for this reason WE SHOULD ALL TURN A BLIND EYE TO FACT. It seems that past convictions dont stand tall as a POPPY does LOL.

I say good habits start young and carry on through life as a solid foundation without to much interference.

As with what you say what person could not notice a "grass" pregnancy happening in less than 6 hours 4.1kg's (at birth) in transit having labor occur when you pick the a boogie board bag up for collection?

Why sent 4.1kg of cannibas through security infested detection points when its cheaper and safer to transport it on wheels down south or wherever?
Doesnt make sense!

I think their was a 30th birthday party for a Mercedes to have a huge "schoolies" party and the "toolies", wanted some as well for a Bali bash.
No one would think that one would bring "grass" into a country such as Indonesia and for that reason it seemed too bizarre to be caught either.
If you grow it why buy it when you can take it there without to many transactions happening both here and over there. To purchase it there in Indonesia would sooner or later tag that person for intelligence.

Its so bizarre that makes for the perfect crime as is now.

I was confused. I thought this was a 'Bogging' site but I can now see that it is a 'Blogging' site. One must change with the times.
When I get to know you all better, I shall inveigle you all with my bogging experiences e.g., There was a time when I was a young naive hand on a navy ship that may have sailed with the first instance (in hindsight) of a case of purported HIV( I still have annual[or should that be anal] check-ups - we were all little rippers in those days.We would all carry our marijuana ashore in the traditional Naval manner that I shall leave to the readers fertile imagination.I think that was the first time I met Talula. It was the night after my turn in the barrel and so I was able to ferry 3 times as much pot as the rest of the jolly tars.....(but I pre-empt my bogging stories, so I will wait until we are all introduced.

You are all a bunch of bleeding heart do-gooders who fail to see the real truth because you are so conditioned to the sensantionalim Australian media. Would you even notice if it was a man, I bet you have no idea how many other Australians are in goal for being convicted for drug importation. Bring on the tears and play to the camera Schapelle and we will make you a star, of course to our benefit of ratings and advertising. The truth is out there but all of you do-gooders will never see it because hers tears are clouding your judgement.

Honestly what do you really expect from visiting a third world country anyway, teach her for being so stupid and treating the laws and authorities with such contempt

So schapelle guilty as charged see you 20 years

Oh!Oh! Mercedes you little darling.You can rip the skin off my rice pudding anyday. Did you see the smoke from her nostrils outside the court-room? And those teeth! Freddie Mercury (Are we sure it was not Freddie Mercedes?)would have given his cod-piece away for a set of choppers like those. As my dad said, the last time he saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.When she screamed out to the media that her baby blue eyed sister was now stuck away out of sight for twenty years in a horrible jail, the crowd went down like skittles from a barrage of Indonesian prison guard fly-buttons.
I see schaps mum is soon to be a film star (No, it is not a remake of King-Kong!),Channel nine has got the cheque book out.I thought the Indonesian authorities were rushing her mum through the crowd to the abbatoir but it was to the make-up room at the local TV studio.Some make-over needed there! They will have to bring a couple of plasterers in.
I heard you have to live on your wits and your talent in the Bali nick.Well there obviously is a complete lack of wits there but ones Beauty Therapy training could come in handy. I believe there a big demand behind the walls for eye-lash curling and manicuring a la Bon Marche. Three burly guards have already said that they have not had their cuticles pulled back since Billy Liddell played for Liverpool and that that will be the first thing they will 'ask' schaps for when they can get an appointment.Some moron also wants her to wax his moons!
Anyhow, enough of schaps. When do we start discussing the Bali nine? There is a rumour that there is a female amongst them but, despite a strip search,short arm inspection ,and the rubber glove treatment,doctors can only say that they have found nine healthy prostates and a suspicious reverse Tassie!
I await your erudite replies to this query of mine.

IF U were the JUDge... would u put her as Innocent/ guilty after many many YEars of experience of seeing cases like that.... I'd say.... GUilty....
WHo can u blame? ...aussies DUh for being so totally greedy for money and irresponsible for wanting to sell drugs to the black mkt and taking advantage of other ppl! We've got our very own Ozzies aka the Bali 9iners adding fuel to the Fire ...
In the end.. Those Bali judges are juz doing their jobs.

hehehheh!!! Uncle Tosser has the idea...

Funny, i didn't know about the 'escort' thing, but it got me to thinking. There's an 'escort' and then there's an 'escort in Australia'...
It reminds me of a time when i was in america, very bored and lonely in an airport motel and had a stack of cash. So I pulled out the phonebook and looked up escort services. I got quoted $300 per hour over the phone - so I pretty much figured that this was the one to go for.
She turned up half an hour later, stunning chick, but dressed quite conventionally...
After a couple of drinks in the hotel room I said, "OK, so what's the deal - wanna get your gear off and gimme a rubber?"
She was completely horrified! I discovered right there that the term "escort" in australia is a corruption of what it is in other countries.

Next time I'll just go downtown Hollywood and find that chick hugh grant was hanging out with.

ps - I still had to pay $300! assholes.

I haven't heard anything about her past life. Has she been arrested before? In any kind of trouble? What about her family? Any kind of drug related stories about them?

Posted by: jimboster | May 27, 2005 11:13:13 AM

Imagine going to Indonesia for a holiday and you are arrested for possession of group 1 illicit drugs. You know you are innocent but the drugs were found planted in your luggage. The Schapelle Corby case identifies a fundamental flaw in the Indonesian legal system that does not protect the Innocent. If you are set up or framed or just used to import drugs unknowingly, and cannot prove who they belong to, you are guilty, even when there is some doubt that it does belong to you.
Even under so called Indonesian law, proving who the owner of the evidence is, with no finger prints preserved from the evidence possibly proving who it belongs to, makes it even more difficult to prove. I believe finger prints could be essential to finding the possible owner of the evidence which now will be destroyed. Very suspect destroying evidence so soon, especially considering no finger prints were taken.
I am not suggesting wether Corby is guilty or innocent. But I am suggesting that where there is doubt, innocence should remain until proven guilty not the other way around.
For this reason I will not TRAVEL to Indonesia and take that risk as sixty minutes has already highlighted the prevalence of drugs already in places like Bali is real, therefore the risk of being caught innocently of possession and Jailed or the Death sentence is not worth ruining my life. This possibility is very real. There are a lot more places one can visit in Australia alone. I would encourage others to refrain from travelling to Indonesia, until there people can get real with Justice and demand a system that protects the innocent until proven guilty. Maybe hitting them in the hip pocket will force there hand. (The only time I might go could be to frame someone I don’t like, which appears to be a sure thing in Bali.)
Please pass this opinion on.

How can you be so sure she's inncocent? There's been a lot of evidence in court against her, like her family has been involved with drug dealing before.. It just seems like everyone has immediately decided that she's innocent probably because Australia received such biased coverage of the case. And also our government did make an effort to support her, they wrote a letter to Bali's government. But what do you want from them, it's not like they can just overthrow the Balinese law system or whatever.

Posted by: hailey | May 27, 2005 9:06:49 PM

This is my reason why everyone thinks that she is innocent:

Now I am not sure of whether she is innocent or guilty in reality, but the truth of the matter is, that in an Australian court of law, there is simply not enough evidence to prove that she is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. I am a law student so I know what I am talking about. Whether or not the prosecution has a strong case against her or not, the fact of the lack of fingerprinting may have been enough to suggest unreasonable doubt as to her guilt. Also, there wasn't enough done regarding baggage handlers and the drug smuglling that so co-incidently occurred at the same airport on the same day that Schapelle was arrested. People may think she is guilty because the media is totally biased in her favour and because her family has had drugs involved with her history, but the truth of the LEGAL matter (you are put into jail based on a legal matter, not an emotional matter) there isn't enough evidence in an Australian court to convict her. Obviously we have to obey the Indonesian law, fair enough, but the judges were complacent in the fact that they did not accept ANY of the defence's argument, and based their conviction purely on the statements of the airport security. May I remind you, that it is the security's word versus that of Schapelle and her family, so there is doubt as to who was telling the truth there, and there were no security cameras to capture Schapelle's reaction when she was asked to open her bag. All this creates REASONABLE DOUBT. I also think it is extremely suss that the prime judge has heard 500 narcotics cases before, and literally has a 100% record of not acquitting any suspect. 500 out of 500 people are guilty? surely not, the judge wants to make a harsh stance against drugs, fair enough, but he is doing it by putting innocent people away. And for the record, I do not personally find Schapelle Corby attractive at all, not at all, I never even thought about it until it was raised on the news by people who considered her guilty, so I am not biased towards her, I purely look to the legal evidence and am not swayed by the media. However, i am 99% sure that if the Australian was not Schapelle Corby, and was an Asian-Australian who was much older and less 'attractive' then this would not get one millionth of the media coverage that it has. And this is the truth, because we have dozens of citizens overseas in similar situations, who we have heard nothing about. At least we can learn a lesson with this, do not get involved with drugs, and when at the sirport, lock each and everyone one of your bags. If you're lazy then thats your own fault. Get up off your arse and lock your bags because it may save your life. Peace.

Posted by: Shaun | May 28, 2005 12:09:00 AM

The all important item in this case is the actual bag of dope. Why wasn't it handed over to the Australian forensic authorities, so it could be included in their own investigations, especially as there was a large cocaine bust involving baggage handlers at Sydney airport the same day.
Also if Schapelle did smuggle the drugs surely the dope would have been concealed inside the Boogie board, the risk of a loosely concealed package being damaged & the smell soon being noticed.
The problem I have is the motive there just isn't one. All I can think of is a baggage handler had the dope to transit it somewhere, or had aquired it themselves that day through some scam, & wanted to quickly off load it when the airport was suddenly crawling with Police because of the cocaine bust.

Posted by: colin | May 28, 2005 12:19:02 AM

On the day of Schappelles sentencing, prior to it I was out doing shopping. I wanted to get some apples for the week. The bag weighed 4.2 Kgs and man its pretty heavy. I just pondered for a moment and thought of its noticable weight and how it becomes more apparent as you carry it and becomes more so. Well people let me tell you, have to be pretty stupid not to have noticed the additional weight in her boogie board. Try it folks and see for yourself what 4 kgs feels like. Its definately noticable . Very noticable to say the least!

I would like to present an experiment in a shopping centre with two identical boogie board bags with flippers and a identical boards in them, but with one exception. -----Place 4.1 kgs of tea or other legal mass to one of those bags and get people to first lift the bag without the additional weight then followed by the bag containing the 4.1 kgs of additional weight. Place a green line and a red line and see which one they would take. Green takes you out Red to Densapar Court House and death penalty!

This will give those a good indication that only a fool would not notice the difference. Try it for yourselves even just lifting 4.1 kgs of apples, or onions, or other matter. Imagining weight is not a good idea as you can feel the difference not think it.

To those gentle readers who cannot contemplate anybody being less bright (or is that less brighter?) than themselves.
Has it not crossed your minds that perhaps Schapelle is stupid? Did you not notice her radiance when before an audience? Swanning onto the stage for the media and the public at every moment dressed to the nines in some very un-jail like see-through garb. She was actually taken aback when not aquitted! What was she expecting? She was much closer to the action than the rest of us and I am sure very few of us thought she would be back in the bowels of the gold coast today. Apparently half of any population have an IQ below average and 86% have one of 115 points or less.
But not me! Six months ago I could not even spell bloggerr, now - thanks to schapelle - I are one.
In fact,being completely subsumed in a sense of my own importance,I am even thinking of becoming a law student. But that is only if I survive my pre-frontal lobotomy operation next week.

In reply to Daniel regarding the in depth discussion about his day out at the fruit market (dont you think that some people should get a life?.Well I have a fruity schapelle story to relate.
Did anybody read the headlines in todays Bali Bugle?
'Amrosi Worthington-Smythe (the grinning Bomber) makes a daring escape from the lock-up'
Amrosi apparently espied our Schapps bending over whilst tending her vegetable garden. Unable to control his-self, he dashed across the womans compound - old school tie streaming behind him in the dank tropical breeze - but, unknownced to this asian Guy Fawkes, the enclosure was strewn with unpicked cucumbers (of the extreme large variety, some say about 4.1 kgs each). Blinded by either lust or incredible stupidity, our hero tripped over and pole-vaulted clear over the prison walls.
Taking advantage of the ensuing melee as people fought over the scattered widows' comforters, Amrosi's bodyguards - Fortesque and Withers - seized several huge melons and repaired to the back of the bicycle shed. These actions did not go un-noticed by the ubiquitous Channel 9 who - after surreptitiously filming some rather questionable homo sapien/Huge melon intercourses - managed to hunt down that well known entrepreneur Mad Ron(soon to be beatified by the new pope for unselfish deeds regarding virgins-in-distress) and came to some financial arrangement to handle the dirty side of the negotiations with these 'vegetable shoppers'. Have you perhaps seen them poking, squeezing , and weighing the fruit at any time in your local supermarket Daniel? They would appear to be members of your peer group.

Guilty or not at least she got a trial under the law.what about we australians locking up people in detention centeres for ever without any consideration or trial.ask yourself had it been any other australian of asian origin would then the reaction same? i guess not ....we should keep our house in order before pointing fingers at others.

Posted by: smith | May 28, 2005 6:07:18 AM

James Tosser that very funny post you made. Unfortunately I think you didnt understand mine! You see Im saying how could she not notice the 4 kgms of weight in her bag as you have posted earlier. I think most people who would try my experiment would realize through example that its a definate 9 months pregnant as you said and they would realise it when coparing the two bags.

I hope you got my message as I had intended it to be understood. Are you saying that you would not notice the weight difference ?

Posted by: Daniel | May 28, 2005 7:06:20 AM

I was under the impression that it was Schappelle's brother who picked up her boogie board off the luggage carousel. He would have not noticed anything suspicious about it, if he hadn't of packed it.
When they got to the Custom's officer she happily volunteered as to being the boogie board's owner, with seemingly nothing to hide.

Posted by: colin | May 28, 2005 9:27:42 AM

Comon' man...just put it that way...somebody get caught RED-HANDEDLY with 4kg of marijuana in indo or anywhere else on earth. What do you expect the court to deliver? Free verdict? OR pay her compensation for the night she spent inside jail? Now..even your own AFP's chief was skeptical that sb planted the drugs, what do you guys expect more of this case? Never - Never- ever judge sb because of their looks or origin especially those pretty lasses. Anyway, I'm not trying to judge her but try to look at the proof of 4kg inside the bag. I feel sorry for her whether or not she smuggled the drugs to indo. Just put it this way yeahh...wad happen if an indo found with 4 kg of marijuana in Sydney airport and claimed that Indo airport's baggage handlers (which is more possible)had planted the drugs into his luggage? Would you guys believe him??? Tell me pls. I do know that indo justice system is a screw up system but even the worse justice sytem can give a fair verdict on this one. I DO REALLY REALLY FEEL BAD N SO SO SORRY FOR HER, MAY GOD BLESS HER.

THAT CONTRY SUCKS.

I'LL PRAY FOR YOU Schapelle Corby Saga

Posted by: michelle | May 28, 2005 8:15:48 PM

Ok so if her brother carried it then why? Was it too heavy or what? What about the GUY feeling that it’s a bit heavy for foam board that floats on water with flippers in it!

Secondly why didn’t the see the profile bulge that surely would be a dead set giveaway? This whole SAGA is a real mystery to say the least.

With all forensic solving you have to re enact the scene to the best you can. Well this would be a great exercise to construct. But one simple experiment if you like to call it is to

place 4.1 kgms of mulched leaves into a similar plastic bag and then place it into a board bag. Lift it and feel the difference.

Visual the bag both from a standpoint as being carried and other angles of view. The profile would indicate the extent to what has occurred with the two samples. The weight issue is very noticeable even by a brother "mule", who carries it. The shape of it would be apparent unless you’re into brail reading and also the feel of the thing.

The 4.1 kgs of leaf compost from a garden session will show that it takes about the size of a large pillow unless the contraband was in a vacuum reduced bag.

Why did the smell of it not attract the attention because it was stated that the zip was partially damaged. Ms Corby indicated that she did in fact recognize the "stench" of the contraband narcotic. Was the exo skeletal pvc packaging damaged? Or was it permeating due to sweating of the non totally dried vegetal contraband narcotic. This may of occurred due to the "gas" being generated by natural decomposition within a microclimate within a greenhouse effect principal.

Their are several issues to the bag itself, contents volume and the visual profile of a "bloated bag" containing 4.1 kgs of narcotics.

Seeing that ALL CCT information is lost this is partially what was being sought to identify tampering or any unusual bulge to the bag, profile to indicate dimensions. Yes forensics involves photography but a rule of REFERENCE is used a datum. There are certain reference items that can provide a dimension to go by and cross transfer it to get possible length width and height. To put a 5 cent piece into a photo with a mars bar and if your smart enough can you can calculate the size of the item.

Im just not convinced after having performed some simple but excellent experiments to appreciate variances. It’s hard to believe that if and when her brother carried it he did not notice the weight of a "leaded" polystyrene unfilled body board. Lets face it the drugs were in the bag or WE here would not be posting at all.

Im not saying anyone is guilty but lets try and learn some COOL forensics so that we become more knowledable. IT’S REAL FUN! Not for Ms Corby though!

Thank the lord!At last we have an erudite articulate, multisyllabic poster in Fasool.
Some of the illiterate bandage here that goes down under the guise of the English language is appalling.
I see that the Bali Judge was astounded by the 'crying contest' throughout the trial and is completely bemused by the fact that it is the first time in his career that he has seen the defence coucil also bawling their eyes out. He should have asked why! Crazy Mad Ron and his lawyer clone (apparently they were joined at the prepuce before being separated by a Hells - angels flick knife during a heated 'deal'outside his Padlocked phone-shop)had other reasons for the tears. Ron owes $2,000,000 to certain creditors and he is also bankrupt. Some of those creditors ride large motor-cycles. He thinks there is a contract out on him and his shieldmate and that both their dried arrangements will soon be posted up above the mirror behind the bar in the Gold Coast branch of the Bandidos.He was also expecting to get 50 % of Schapelles cash for her guest appearances on Channel 9, plus from her story for Fannies weekly and the Southport Horticultural Times (where else can you get recipes for fine grade weed?)
Hey folks!Can you really believe the names all these characters go under? The local Brisbane rag today said that 'Three of Schapelles defence team met her in the depths of KEROBOKAN Jail where the 27 year old was found sucking on a large orange(I kid you not! Although I thought the prison guards were black!) The visitors were Vasu Rasiarse, Lily lubricant, and Mad Chuppa Bakir.They had all come to cojole Schappelle into trying to increase her 20 year sentence to life as it would make a bigger story and the pay-off would be greater!'
If this whole saga had been written as a novel, who would believe a single word of it? Anyhow folks, I must away and change my holiday booking from Bali to Woodford Prison as the brochures are stunning and, I hear that they have just doubled the soap ration in anticipation of my arrival (sans boogie - board!)

The word on the street is Scapelle was under surveillance by The Australian police for 9 Months , prior to her arrest in bali.
Thats from a cop I know who obviously will remain anonymous.
Add to that, her frequent , multiple trips to Bali, the sheer size of a boogie board bag containing 4.1 kg of ganja.....
It all adds up to very little sympathy from me....

My dear Christine, 'no-one deserves to rot in a Bali Jail for pot' is a judgement that attempts to impress values from one culture onto another.Your statement can can also be considered as being extracted from a class that belongs to a colonialism mind-set.You are not a University Art student by any chance? (Although I believe admittances to that particular class are made only between consenting adults behind very closed doors [or Mad Ron Bakirs shopfront, but I repeat myself] or are akin to telling your grandmother that you would like to engage with her personally in some raucus incest or,worse,that you work for Channel 9.

I took his words to heart but, whilst on my way down to Big Rosleigh Roses chippy on the gold coast, I stuck my face out of the car window and was still arrested for mooning!
I see two Aussie QCs have been approached to defend Scapelle but wont touch the case with a bargepole (or Amrozi's pogo stick. How did he make it over the prison walls? Any ideas Christine?.Despite all their supposed protestations as reported in the gutter press and Channel 9 (but I too repeat myself Fasool!),they dont want to be associated with a case that involved phone taps.(I also know coppers - though only in the biblical sense!)

Common sense has finally prevailed, Schappelle's mother has asked people to boycott Qantas not Bali.
You have to put yourself in the position of the Balinese & Indonesian authorities. They must be sick of being told by the west how to run their country. & being told to feel grateful to all the Australian tourists who holiday in Bali supporting their economy.
Truth is the average Balinese live's a peasant like existence, eke-ing out a living on the rice paddies this is so, no matter how many tourists go to Bali.
The people who operate & work in the tourist industry there, are just parasites probably from Java who couldn't give a toss about the everyday impoverished Balinese.
Western interference in Indonesia goes back to before the days of it's brutul Dutch colonialism. It's nadir was in the mid 60s when the CIA backed coup installed their puppet of 30+ yrs. General Suharto, who helped the US exterminate over a million Indonesian communist members of the PKI.
Not to mention the West's posturing over East Timor so they can help develop it's off shore oil.
Show the Indonesians & their judiciary some respect & who know's Schappelle may be deported back to Australia.

Big effort Colin, boycott QANTAS. A company of 38000 Australians unfairly condemned by a brain-dead dickhead who hasn't provided a single piece of proof. Two staff members have been dismissed, one for stealing from a passengers bag, another for being an SP bookmaker. So far no-one has been dismissed or charged with anything to do with the Corby case or anything else (and that includes the cocaine ring.) Apparently the defenders of Schapelle Corby seem to think that if they say things often enough eventually it will become the truth. How is it that people like you see her as completely innocent, because nothing has been proved by your standards, yet you don't apply the same standards to others. Nothing has been proven, the fact that 60Minutes or someother TV show interviews "someone" who says that it happens, doesnt mean it does. Apply the same standards of proof to Qantas staff as would expect to have applied to yourself, and Schapelle Corby. Or is that asking too much?

Posted by: | May 30, 2005 5:51:19 AM

I think what make's the case so fascinating for me is that most drug runners get caught smuggling the shit out of 3rd world countries not into them.
I feel the Australian authorities could have been more pro active, especially as they were already liasing with the Indonesians over drug running. I would have thought a bag of dope that size could have been traced back to somewhere.
Some members of her family have already been convicted of drug offences, so I would have thought the Australian narcotics division would have taken a keen interest.
Basically I just feel she should have received a better level of representation from her own government, & all this anti Indonesian fervour is starting to get out of hand.
The Mother must regret losing it in court, it's probably the reason why the prosecutors have appealed for a life sentance.
I see one posting mentions Schappelle intended to stay a few months in Bali, you'd have to wonder how she was going to support herself. Off the procceeds of a pillow case sized package of dope! It's hard to believe somebody could be that brazen. Or it wasn't at least discovered on it's path from Brisbane to Sydney & then when changing planes on route to bali. It makes you wonder where all the extra money we now pay for extra airport security is being spent.

Posted by: Colin | May 30, 2005 6:35:35 AM

the media has completely fucked up this case. they have taken a guilty person, portrayed her as innocent and look what they have done ... discouraged aussies from travelling to places like bali which heavily rely upon our tourism (u'd think the bali terrorist attack and tsunamis were enough ... but oh no, lets let the australian media fuck them over again), they have turned people against donations so the salvation army in case the money goes to indonesia (now that's double standards ... we want them to free out chappelle but we accuse every single one of them of being involved in a bs judicial system so we're not going to donate help to ppl). The media has made us try to boycott qantas and help ppl lose their jobs, we bag out the politicians for not helping. did any of u ever think that maybe the politicians aren't helping because they know the evidence and know that chappelle is guilty? or perhaps they don't want to wage war with our nearest neighbour? i think i'd like to keep political relationships with indonesia on real friendly terms.
as for the media ... nice story ... in fact, such a good story that they even had the guts to admit after the case was over that every single reporter who followed the case over in bali, who listened to all the evidence, actually belived that our dear chappelle is guilty!
now that's a twist!

the media has completely fucked up this case. they have taken a guilty person, portrayed her as innocent and look what they have done ... discouraged aussies from travelling to places like bali which heavily rely upon our tourism (u'd think the bali terrorist attack and tsunamis were enough ... but oh no, lets let the australian media fuck them over again), they have turned people against donations so the salvation army in case the money goes to indonesia (now that's double standards ... we want them to free out chappelle but we accuse every single one of them of being involved in a bs judicial system so we're not going to donate help to ppl). The media has made us try to boycott qantas and help ppl lose their jobs, we bag out the politicians for not helping. did any of u ever think that maybe the politicians aren't helping because they know the evidence and know that chappelle is guilty? or perhaps they don't want to wage war with our nearest neighbour? i think i'd like to keep political relationships with indonesia on real friendly terms.
as for the media ... nice story ... in fact, such a good story that they even had the guts to admit after the case was over that every single reporter who followed the case over in bali, who listened to all the evidence, actually belived that our dear chappelle is guilty!
now that's a twist!

Funny, nobody's mentioned the real reason the Aussie government are not willing to screw with Indonesia's judicial system.

Because they already have once, and nearly got burned for it...

Remember when they caught the Bali bombers - Amrozi and his legion of retards? They had not committed a terrorism crime (in Indonesia's books - Indo had no terrorism laws at the time) - so Johnny leaned on Megawati to rush through an anti-terrorism legislation, which Amrozi and friends were then charged under. The Indo's were going to charge them on other charges (murder, conspiracy to do this or that, etc) but JH urged them to use anti-terrorism laws, probably because that's where most of the world's focus was at the time.

So most of them got sentenced to their various punishments. Then the whole thing blew up in both governments' faces when one of the bombers appealed on the grounds of it being against Indonesia's constitution to be charged retrospectively for a crime (ie - charged for a crime that wasn't a crime when you committed it), and I can't remember - I'm sure you can look it up on google news or something - but he may have gotten off, setting a precedent for the other bombers to possibly use that avenue of escape too.

When the news of that broke (a year or two ago now), the indonesians openly and directly blamed Australia for meddling with Indonesian law.

Somebody obviously didn't do their homework on Indonesian law at that time. This I reckon is most likely the reason JH & Co won't do anything on a diplomatic level now for Schapelle. Used one favour too many and screwed it up.

I think that the Australian bazaar is in Indonesia and ALL those who frequent it. You see there is a real "focus" of the value of the said contraband according to currency. What Indonesian would buy marijuana of an Australian?
What Australian would buy marijuana of an Indonesian considering that Indonesian may well in fact be an undercover narcotics agent or policeman, who can impose the death penalty onto an unsuspecting buyer?

After ALL the laws there are different to ours here so who would take the risk unless the said supplier is already known to the buyer!

Australian do smoke pot over there and would be more likely to buy it at home grown prices if not more owing to the fact that they are on a HIGH" splurge of the moment of spending! So then the Indonesian value of the drug is irrelevant because it’s the Australian going rate without the risk of Intelligence and arrest via the Indonesian legal system! Threes many variables to what is not known and the Bali 9 also say they are innocent! What the?

Anyway which one of you here today would buy marijuana of a person local Balinese when death stares at you point blank into the face? If you were a "reefer" user then would'nt you opt for Queensland heads from a fellow CHRISTIAN brother or sister who is in fact white? Remember to keep it in house will provide a scheduled outcome without you being noticed by Indonesian federal drug enforcement services just DIEING to meet you!

$40000.00 in Australia may in fact be $80000.00 to Australians in Indonesia without the firing squad.

If any of you get the chance, watch the episode of "Media Watch" that aired on the ABC on Monday night 30th May. If you can't, see if you can get the transcript of the programme. It makes some very interesting points about the Australia media's coverage of the Corby case, without making a judgement of guilt or innocence. It is well worth it.

Posted by: yorkie | May 31, 2005 12:23:25 AM

Do any of you realise that the media do not have a conduit to the state police or the Federal police. There are absolutely no rules within these forces that necessitates them informing the media about anything.The police decide what they tell the media and why. Why should the police do the medias job for them? The role of a 'Our Reporter' is to go out and unearth any 'news' themselves as part of their conditions of contract.
Just look at the feeding frenzy outside the Bali courthouse recently, as all those characters attempted to outdo themselves in order for self-aggrandisement or, just to please their overlords in order to retain their jobs. TV Ratings and sales of newspapers are the benchmarks for this lot. Perform or perish and, if nothing new is unearthed, resort to platitudes, innuendo,assumptions (based on wishful thinking) or muckraking.Would any of you chaps or chapesses out there want your sister or brother to marry one of them? Just hark back to that Channel 9 fiasco with the intrepid Mike Munro(and what an unsavoury history he has for 'reporting' news). I think we all know what the real worm was in that studio audience.I just cannot understand how blind people.Perhaps if they believe enough , then the magic fairy will keep hiding the truth.
The kind truth is that people are identifying with Schapelle and would hate to see themselves or theirs in the same situation but,most people behave themselves and earn an honest crust. Just ask yourselves this, why did the Indonesian customs people single out Schapelle? (How many other boogie-boards were opened that day?)Because they were waiting for either her or some other mug from her family to step off that plane with the goodies - just as they had been informed!(Did they investigate the authenticity of Mercedes fangs?) Amazing how those Baggage handlers had a pre-formed plastic bag ready that would just fit snugly into Schapps boogie-bag.Put your board and flippers into one of these bags folks and then try to hastily fit in a plastic bag with 4.1 kg of pot so that it is as snug a fit as the lone rangers arse is to silver.
I have also been diligently looking for a tear or two from Rosleigh Rose but, I think I have as much chance of seeing that as I have of shoving 4.1 kg of pot up a fleas rectum whilst still leaving room for Kim Beazly.

I would like to thank everyone here for their comments. I just got back from the States. I am shocked by the media's one sided coverage of the Colby case. There was no real interest in getting to the truth, no investigations just a vague reference that "maybe, it could have been Baggage handlers" It looked like 90% of Australians bought that ridiculous story, and became hysterical when Colby was found guilty.
Colby said on 60 minutes that 90% of all Australians experiment with drugs. Now that's either insulting or an incentive to get into the drug trade. But is it any wonder that so many in Australia believe Colby is innocent...their brains are fried.
Some say if Colby is guilty she would not be given life. Well maybe in the beginning, but now that she has blamed everyone but herself for her situation, she is guilty of ruining the reputation of everyone in Australia. The firing squad is too good for her. I just hope Colby does not reproduce.
BTW, Colby is 27 years old, did she ever hold down a job and pay TAX?

A message to Indonesia.
I call on behalf of many law abiding Australians.
Stick to your principles Corby is a drug dealing whore, lock her up FOR LIFE!
The Australian Police Forces have not provided you with all the facts, she is known drug dealer and is of considerable interest to the Queensland and Federal Police for drug dealing and other criminal activities.

Posted by: Gordon Melville | May 31, 2005 9:07:15 AM

I see that Mercedes speaks fluent Indonesian, is it true that she run's a surf shop in Bali with her husband ?
I saw Schappelle's other brother on TV a couple of days ago, speaking out for her. I assume he's the brother who has just finished a prison sentance. Was it a drugs related offence?
He certainly looked the dope smoking surfie type.
There was a journo from the Australian on the radio this morning, saying that an experienced airport security officer has said,"that in 15yrs.he has never known drugs to be smuggled in bags on domestic flights" He also went on to say that the Corby flight was on the same day as the Sydney cocaine bust, which had used up all the airport's surveillance resources, hence the reason for the Corby dope not being picked up.
(It's also possible that because in Oz cannabis is not a class A drug airport security personell don't waste resource's looking for it)
Apparantly it's common knowledge in Bali that if you buy dope off the locals, you risk being dobbed in to the Police who in turn take all your money & valuables then put you on the next available flight home.
Is it possible one of Schappelle's family slipped the dope into the boogie board bag, so it could be sold to westerners via the sister's surf shop.( that is the only feasible motive)

Posted by: Colin | Jun 1, 2005 1:42:19 AM

When someone wants to traffic in drugs they resort to many variables that most of the times just might not make any sense.

As for the weighing of the boogie board that so many have faulted the booking staff that work hard to get things going smoothly with many an impatient traveller. You see if you were to declare a bag for weighing at the check in counter that has:

1 polystyrene boogie board (it floats)
2 Pair of flippers
3 the bag itself

What would you estimate to be the weight of it?

Now your someone that has 4.1 kgms of hemp added to the equation. In order to redirect the attention of this plus weight that you don’t want to be detected you present the bag in the chaos of airport travel with your other luggage to be included to the gross weight.

Now you have a certain advantage to fool the check in staff and not only that but have it set aside to the opposite side of the check in staff member.

From this point all is well and your passed through the check in point and bags on away to cargo hold.

No one is aware that this has taken place and the person know that everyone has a firm chance of getting it past customs in Indonesia because its not a regular thing to occur the "osmosis" of confusion. It could well in fact be a good ploy when caught if at all to BLAME airport staff that they did not weigh the bag with narcotic but the design was in the first place so not to present and declare it as an individual bag.

There are many different ways that someone works to bypass airport security. My main concern is not Shappelles saga, but Australian citizens safety issues when that narcotic is 4.1 kgms of C4 explosive that can impact everyone’s world their families and children!

Im just presenting some hypothetical scenarios but sometimes these can in fact really occur.

Even if Ms Corby is GUILTY I do believe it’s a harsh penalty to endure. But maybe my attitude can be swayed if my child has been subjected to the social decay of drug addiction and as a result is killed. I think any sane person would feel great hate to a person that contributed to this induction to the world of drugs! This may be to overdose inclusion in a road fatality or other indirect consequence of drug induced psychotic episode.

All drugs will result in crime, prostitution, corruption, murder, gangland wars, the decay of democracy and civilization.

For that regard its accepted as a tall poppy of lost souls.

What a shame that we cant live without the assistance of today’s drugs, a synthetic medium to obtain liberty, refractive elements of usury to plunder one another just to survive the mundane and evil, domestic corruption, a government of SATAN that plunders its people in a modern sense and a peoples that cannot cope the challenges of life.

Drugs are a rich avenue but short-lived fragments of escape or foolish peril.

Say no to drugs!

Hey Tonto.I think this bogging site is a classic for a pychology students thesis. Have you noticed how the latest posts are now all swinging away from 'she was framed' to a more reflective mood?
Amazing how the worms turn.
The media has painted itself into a corner. It now has much more information regarding the Tokyo stripper(oh yes she was!)but, it cannot think of ways to present it to the masses without getting egg all over the collective face due to the stand it has taken.Does not Channel nine reinforce the view that a journalist is a creature that creeps down from the hills after a battle to kill the wounded? Why has there been no mention of the brother of Mad Dog Ron Bakir - the lebanese sausage - who is the chief Honcho of the Finks bikie gang on the Gold Coast? This brother also wants his pound of flesh off Ron (or is that his 4.1 kg of flesh?.At this rate, Mad Ron needs to be cloned in order to supply the copious quanty of bollocks wanted by his pursuers.No use looking towards his bumchum Robbie Tampon to supply a few as he is not exactly the dogs bollocks as a lawyer.
I noticed a picture in the local rag yesterday of Rosleigh Rose and her latest bedmate, 'Dregs' Martin.Her last hubbie - huge Mick -has not kicked the bucket yet despite having one foot in the grave and the other on a banana skin. Is not this latest fellow the fourth or fifth? She must just open up a box of them and add water.
Dregs was heard to say that he is on triple strength viagra. 'Is that because she is one hot woman?' asked a reporter. 'No!. said Dregs.' It is because I want to go blind!Would you like to wake up in the morning with that beside you, snoring and farting?'(Viagra Reference is in the latest edition of 'Nature' science journal)
Dregs was asked if he had heard Scapelles speech to the chief judge but said no because he had a baby of his own.He was offered a glass of water but declined as he insisted that fish f..k in it.
Mad Rons history was in the Australian newspaper today and he was summed up as 'Black and wicked and with only a nodding aquaintance with the truth. A becurled and perfumed grandee gazed at by the galley - gaper. A cheap-skate who is reputed to have invented the Samba when endeavouring to keep his foot on a five cent piece in a crowded Beirut ballroom'. Such a media turn gives me a twist in my truss.I think the media are now getting ready for the Bali Nine who were caught with heroin hanging out of every orifice. How are they going to portray the female in the group who has a face like a stepped in piece of dog shit? The media must show no bias and must apply the same standards of delicacy to her as those applied to Schapelle i.e., 'radiant', 'peach like cheeks', 'summer blue eyes '. etc....(my arse they will!).
Anyhow Tonts, I must steal away now and head down to Rosleighs chippy to give succour to the heart-broken Mercedes.Or is that meant to be 'heart-down to the chippy to give head to Mercedes'.I will be very careful of those teeth as I have not sired yet.

Tokyo stripper? Where the hell did you get that idea or information? Post some links for a must see read.

As far as I have read neighbours found her to be private with little or no communication with others. She remained contained to Japanese life and for that reason did not fit in with their culture! As a result Her marraige failed. Im not having a go at you yodeller but can you post some info.

I would like some reading material to indicate your reference jargon to make it concrete. Other than that are you stoned?

I look forward to your reference material if any.

Oh Mercedes! What one would give if only one would give one one if one would want one to give one one(And this one does. Does that one?).
My dear Yodel Echo.Reference links. Revealing ones sources can often have ones sources fall into the deep, deep doo-doo. Anyhow, interior decorating in Japan is an honourable profession. To what else did you think I was referring? We must take lots of things in life on faith. I am convinced you firmly believe that there is a place called Alaska but, have you ever been there? Consider why you believe there is such a place and – providing you have never been there - for every ‘reason’ you can come up with, you will be confronted with an act of faith to support your belief. If you have been there, then consider the South Malaccas (Who the f...k has ever been there!). Or, consider all the ‘reasons’ put forward by the buggers (sorry) bloggers on this post site that attempt to portray shapely Schapelle as innocent (not guilty!). Apply the test of faith to these reasons then apply the test of logic and, include your own cri de Coeur (You did weep more than once in your post. As our American cousins would say 'Dear Yodel Echo, do you have a hard-on for Schapps?'). Also, attempt to examine yours and the fellatio (sorry again) fello/fellowess posters motives for their stands (Stands? Are we talking about Ambrosia’s escape again?).
Anyhow folks, back to serious chat. I am busy today baking a gross of cakes with files in them to send to Schapps. If she retains the three stooges for her defence council then I had better put in a regular order to my local flour mill and BHP Biliton for materials.
I am off to Bali soon for my annual hols as a measure of support for the poor misaligned Indonesians. TV viewers in the world outside Australia (yes folks, I know it is asking for a big leap of faith but, you don’t fall off the edge of the world if you venture out past Penrith!) must think it is hilarious to see us Aussies winding metres of Porta–wrap around luggage and our most intimate parts. They must think we all have Amoebic Dysentery! Why not just use bicycle clips and empty ones strides/ knickerbokkers upon arrival at ones hotel room! I think the Bali nine were pychic. They were just ahead of their time with their wrapping japes.
Well gentle readers, I must yodel off down to the old corral where a couple of Aborigines are offering circumcision carried out with blunt stones and a dearth of anaesthetic. It is either that or sitting down to watch Ray Martin on Today Tonight.

You are so true, it is such a pity Schapelle is not facing the firing squad.
If you bake her a Cake, make sure it is a Hash Cake, a little birdy told me it is a family favourite.
As for Mercedes what a common slut, should have been called HQ Holden fits her class and culture much more.
And as for Roseleigh mate you need more than triple strength Viagra you would need a 'plaster cast ' Pity that poor bastard that wakes up to look at that in the morning, I bet he has bitten half his arm off so he does not wake her. Scapelle will look like that in 20yrs YUK, you would get a bigger hard on with Coleen McCulloch!!!!!!!!!!!

Howdy pardners.Why has this site died recently? I have just been away for a short time on the range, and I come back to find that you are all waiting - with baited breath - for the next shoe to drop. Well let me tell you that I am sitting here and pene is poised!.Old Hoot Gibson and I were having a chat over the corral fence today when a tumbleweed and the Courier Mail blew by (but I repeat myself).
After I had repaired to the smallest room on the spread and done a bit of spreading myself, I was about to use the local rag for the only purpose that it should be used for, when I read that our Schapelle was quite upset yesterday when some bounder made derogatory remarks concerning the colour of her bloomers as she played Badminton! (Do they have their laundry taken out in the Bali nick?) Has there been a prisoner exchange whilst I have been off yodelling up some lone crevasse? I often think of Mercedes (sorry), young shaps when I am out along the Navaho Trail, lying there of a night whilst the crickets are calling, and listening to the music when the wind is playing a sage-brush guitar. I thought I heard her mother singing a gay ditty, but it was just a coyote that had caught its genitals in a bear trap.’Someone’ (not Mike Munro) said that our Schapelle had been to Bali 14 times , but channel 9 concealed that fact by saying ‘only twice since 2002’. I think that Mad Ron the Baker could end up in jail soon. Could we exchange him for our lovely innocent Aussie rose? I cannot imagine 20 years without a mammogram, a pap smear or a visit to the dentist. (but then I cannot imagine 20 years without a toothbrush or toilet paper. Oh!There I go again talking about my daily paper.) Twenty years without a change of tampon. Sounds like the habits of some of the scrubbers around where I live (and those are just the fellers!). Anyhow folks, its near roundup time so unzip and pull out those pencils.I want to hear from you. (well some of you.I think if I ever had to fight young Melville, for weapons I should choose Grammer).

Seems to me she is guilty as charged and 20 years for being such an arrogant stupid whore is a light sentence. I didn't believe people could be that stupid. Would be less risky to strap 5kg's of heroin to your body and bring back to Aus and there would be more reward as well.

Hello chaps. Major Witherspoon here. Stand easy. Just on my way back to the old dart. I was on my hols in the South Malaccas doing a bit of black-berrying. I have a nice necklace of ear-holes to show the little woman. Stopped in at a joint called Bali and decided to visit a few expats in the local nick. There was a nasty little creature there name of Amrozi. He made some unkind remarks concerning my Jodpahs but I got the blighter. He was poncing around in a pair of strides some one had sent him from a place called New Zealand (I am not familiar with the place; which suburb of Sydney is it?). Anyhow, he had no idea of the dangers of New Zealand trousers, but soon found out when I crept up behind him, rubbed two boy scouts together and watched the resultant explosion from behind a three foot thick concrete wall. ‘Yes’, I thought, ‘That will even up the score.’ He was still smarting from his loss in the ‘I’m a man’ contest yesterday. That is where the first prize is a day alone at the beach with Schapelle Corbys mother, and the third Prize is four weeks in Baghdad. The contest involved measuring the distance from ones swingers to the base of the old fellar. Amrozi – laughing as usual – thought he’d made it with 7 inches. I left him looking a fool when I won with a measurement of 1000 kilometres. ‘How?” He said. I smirked,‘Because my knackers are still stuck on some barbed wire in Korea!’
Anyhow folks, he will be happy soon enough – once the bandages come off – because I heard that a chap named Michael Jackson may soon be sharing a cell with him. Apparently Jackson mis- heard Amrozis nick- name and said he would like to serve his sentence with the ‘ Grinning Bali Bummer!’
(Seems that some kids picked Jackson out of a police naked line-up. Jackson had run out of flour that day and he was still black from the waist down).
It has been nice chatting men, but I can’t stay. I am making a little side trip to HK. Hope to meet a friend there. Heard the natives are a real ignorant, uncouth lot but I am armed with a dictionary so I feel safe. What, What?

On the eve of desperate souls me and some black fellas decided to attempt a dream time of mythical face painting. Brings back the time when I was a tribe leaders son, WALYPALA the elder.

Since white man has moved us to the outback, Canberra, my billabong has more white mans arses sittin on the black stump. White mans tongue is like the gallahs boomerang that founded the colonies of schappelles ancestory. Many of my cobbers believe she is the dronger and hired an ear basher cellebrity to bring about her walkabout. He is from the long lost tribe of Diginarra, outback burl of a blackboy tree. He walked the lands long ago when our red soil was of one and the dingo walked the road of wishing well what white fellas call calcutta.

Since the pale face white fellas took our land there has been a jumpbuck of cocaine that he snorts to induce the dream time to kick the tin for scally wag politicians.

them white fella larakins have used the message stick to hide there jilleroo for sex in the prisons they built to watch from magic mirrors looking in on us black fellas in detention. I think of schappers getting lashed and Gordon Melville dressed in white hood with the euc sticks burning a effigy of us black booongs as carbon chaff.

I think that the white fellas larrikins stole my boomerang to give to Judge Sirat my ancestoral patron. Out of the gum ghost woods comes a joe blake snake that Mr Witherspoon snaps up to whirl like a brush wind to open wounds on my back and hide as a bower bird.

That johnny howard the white fella whatyamacallit with ayers rock shine on his head gives us black fellas the willies but were there to illywacker the didgereedoo

My dream land was once canberra but white fellas built a monolith to self sufficiency and come the raw prawn. My brother the chief grew to become a digger to mc murphy the one who flew over the kookaburra and said to us black fellas whites are bull goose looneys.

My woman she a quarter pounder but cook good grub and witchitygrubs that the white fellas call gormay named after the dinkum pill.

Mr Mellville he a taskmaster of the outback plantation and schappers stole hes weed to sell to other white fellas in cousin sirats homeland. That giant bird with a roo on its tail and roars like thunder over our sacred land to the white girl to indianesia the rolling cloud of arnhemland or two wakita spur grass.

I sound the bull roarer to get white woman into the mood of swing but they dont like us black fellas having a breezer at night under sheets. Me thinks it proves that captain cook was a black fella and johnny conditioned him to white mans ways. If the string Schapps up on a coolbah tree then us fellas will think of good fellas mate that strung uncle jimbuck to shavoo gaterings.

Its almost on 7 o'clock and the interns have arrived to give us black boys some white fellas medcine that scream the colours of dreamtime painting. Johnny is in chronic ward and hes gettin wired like schappers for internal memorandum. Shes writtin a white mans journal to tell us black boys to have a banger with dead horse and lots of jump buck to go.

Johnny says hes the prime minister but us black fellas know that he stole our land with forked tongue. Mr wittherspoon me thinks that you have a barney with gordon mellville that bunyip bullwhip.

Im headid for the dream times an my larrikin wife.

Schapelle Corby is guilty of drug trafficking.
You do the crime you do the time.
Anyone with a basic level of intelligence knows you do NOT do this in Indonesia if you want to LIVE.
Her defence was a joke, weak and not believable.
That is unless you still believe in the Tooth Fairy, maybe she popped in the Boogie Board Bag!!!!
Put her in front of a Firing Range ASAP, it is what she deserves.
Just look at her family, a bunch of uneducated lowlife criminal sluts.

Posted by: Gordon Melville | Jun 15, 2005 9:23:14 AM

Me and ron bakir travelled the white mans train of tears to the reservation. Me and some black fellas watched the white mans talking box of the full moons of destiny and sands of dream time. Came in on the 6.07 and saw white medicine woman they call schappelle. Her name is aboriginal for empress queen of white powder and snuff. The box showed me and my mates Johnnies wisdom of words chastised by farce and white mans poison.

Hes what we call a bald eagle of mental telepathy of which the voodoo doctor places the electrode to lobal labotomy. Hes shaved like a joey caught on razor wire outside woomera to produce a new day dawning in white mans land. Hes gone from chronic to acute inadequete and sends out messengers to poison the white mans ways. Minamarrawah gave a yell to bring the trade winds to open cut mining in port agusta of which we named Kurrawanana.

Im heading for dream time smoke and chief brombdens fog the outback episode of parliamentary privilages.

That qurter pounder with jumpbuck damper jilleroo vanstone leaves ayers rock unturned even though she comes from the tribe of stones. White man have funny names but me thinks they want to claim bankruptsy to cover their identity of electode frontal lobe stimulation. Me and doc illawarra mix red earth and banksia seed to give to our indianesia brotherslooking for new inturns.

The white fella on the box says that schappers was appealing for whitewashed clemency but us black fellas dont believe in strangling a black darky for capital punishment around an s bend.

Gordon Mellville that white fella of supreme justice want schapps to recieve the black mans laws. Im on the bull whip and the chief his on uppers screamers, reds yellows you name it mate hes taken the cake as well.

Johnny Howardeee has blown his fuse and Amrosi and Muklas wants him to be quarter cut in lambs fry. He would make black mans damper sour with onion seed and clambuck. That monolith canberra has many black arseholes on white mans seat of which they seek the dream of provocative lewd acts. Me brother and uncle Jack bentley the first elder gave Johnny the land of our dreamtimes to escape capital punishment.

Im lighting up a smowke mate and thinkin mes gunna travel the whitemans road to wealth by taking away civil liberties of the back of burke and wills. Im headed to the black stump to fasten my bommerang to and the dream time will come back for a new dawn of blow your dough on good bearded clam.

Johnny hes schappers bum nuts and they are rooted in byo hemp parties. Me thinks Amrosi hes wanting schappers for white woman connection to breed aristocrats on white mans boat. The red centre of the bulls eye makes the new generation of drug traffickers to our land jimbuckbali. Johnnie is as cunning as a shithouse rat but us black fellas have snares to lynch that statesman of white powder. Hes crook and schappers is ready with amrosi to form an alliance of convict purification as with medication time. Its going on to 7 and washington nurse ratchet and mc murphy are getting ready for intence dream time. Im swallowed white mans pill that came bullgoose a outback buffalo to intense mediation. Doc Spivey hes thinkin us black fellas are acute chronics self admitted to a life of Johnies equalibrium of chastity.

Me gunna start some back burning so that i can deliver the black stump to albert namijeera donger.

back in the fog dreamtime and major weatherspoon, gordon mellville and schappers us black boys feel safe in the black hole of calcutta.

Well I never.There is another Aussie con job! Douglas wood spends 47 days with those horrible little camel rooters, is abused, starved on just bread and water,mentally terrified, and comes out of it looking like he has just spent 47 days in a holiday camp (or 47 days with Schapelles mother)!He has a bigger belly than when he was 'captured'. I think it was all a put up job so he can get onto Oprah (in the biblical sense - he is not that desperate!)and promote a book.It all seems to be catching on. Just slip some stinking Ayrab a few bob,have half the world look for you, then have an 'anonymous tip-off' as to where you are. Soon it is 'Oprah here we come!'(still in the biblical sense).

Sanctimonious sexists posing as rational-thinking
folk who deplore racism and bigotry are
bombarding the Internet with stunningly original observations and insights about Schapelle Corby.

First we're told that people "only care" about Corby because she's young, white, female and attractive.
Oh, that evil femme fatale! She personally invited those media cameras into the court in order to manipulate you and the Indonesian judges!
And so on and so forth.

Then we get the names of other convicted drug smugglers all over the world facing life or the death penalty, claiming we don't know or care about THOSE people because we are racists
manipulated by the media ~ and those making this claim for the most part would have you believe they didn't just google Drug+Smugglers+Foreigners. Rather, they would like you to believe that they "followed" those other cases too and aren't "sheep" but are in fact morally superior to anybody who believes Corby is innocent or even those who feel sympathy for her.
Which gives some of them license to post remarks like: "Let the bitch rot in prison" and "She's lucky she didn't get the firing squad" (which is rubbish - no foreigner in Indonesia has ever been executed for smuggling marijuana, her sentence
isn't light ~ it took Indonesia's own media to point this out.)

I'm not denying some people made fools of themselves over Schapelle Corby, but the cruel and heartless comments I see and hear everywhere about her NOW in the court of public opinion are really sick and offensive.

You know, this might sound funny, but as an aside ~ I'm convinced that Australians care so much about this case not because they "hate" Indonesia. What they hate is what they saw happen to her on TV.
If those other "foreigners" had televised trials too, maybe we'd care just as much.

They aren't used to televised trials in Australia.
The last time a court's verdict (in a criminal case involving an Australian) was shown live through-out that country was in the case of Lindy Chamberlain, the young Australian woman whose little daughter Azaria vanished without trace at Ayers Rock/Uluru in the Outback in the early 1980s. (The "dingo ate my baby!" case.)

Chamberlain was wrongly convicted of Azaria's murder and sentenced to life with hard labour. (I think it was the inquest verdict that was televised, not the trial verdict in that case.)

I think Corby is probably innocent. My belief has nothing to do with what she looks like nor because of a subconscious racist attitude toward Indonesians. And Australians are not
boy-cotting Bali or Indonesia.

Oh, some extremely misguided fools are claiming they're boycotting the country in newspapers and on talkback radio, but there is no proof to substantiate that widespread claim at all.

P.S To the law student not biased because he/she doesn't think Corby's pretty ~ she didn't actually carry that bag when it was loaded with the extra 4.1 kilos.
Her rugby-playing brother did. He said he didn't notice any extra weight.
He testified in her defense, but for whatever reason appears to be keeping a pretty low profile, and the media are curiously silent on his possible complicity.

Then again, everyone shrieks about cheque-book journalism when the rest of the Corby's get on TV so you can hardly condemn the one family member who isn't selling stories, ala "MY SISTER SCHAPELLE: WHAT HAPPENED AT THE AIRPORT".

Posted by: BeenStung | Jun 17, 2005 4:55:40 PM

Hello Beesting. Where have you been hiding?It is not Gordon again is it? Yes! Schapelles brother does reveal a low-profile.It is a requirement of all rugby-players.They must be able to delineate their ancestry back to the Neanderthal.In his case that is only as far as a fish and chip shop on the Gold Coast.If you leave your address, I will see if I can fix you up with a date.You seem like soul-mates.That should be a sight to see in the future - a hulking caveman with a little bleeding heart mincing along behind. Which one of the pair will you be? Anyhow, who is this Scapelle Corby? We only have nine day wonders on this blogging site so welcome. I think you will soon be affronted, as you have left your sensibilities out to dry in your post. If you are not Gordon Melville, he will soon have you for breakfast
Anyhow, 'I think she is probably innocent',and the use of emotive words like 'Young 'Lindy and her 'little' daughter make me think that you might just be that faggot from Tasmania, Bob Brownhole.
Hey Beenstung! You poor little cry-baby. Is that why you have come to play with the big boys? Are you looking for a shoulder to cry on! We only wish for serious debate here with a bit of jocularity thrown in. Go and look elsewhere for filth and innuendo.Yes! High-brows only wanted. So whizz off to the local footy-club and dont come here hoping to find a bit of rough.Go on!Piss off or I will set Gordon onto you.
Yours affectionately

It is all over bar the shouting, THANK GOD!
Corby will do many years in an Indonesian Jail.
The dumb Aussie Supporters have moved on to Big Brother, thinking about Katie Holmes's Diamond Ring and the AFL.
Little Jack Boot Johnny is thanking his lucky stars!
You do the CRIME you do the TIME.

I must admit I feel a bit sorry for Schapelle Corby tonight, how is the form on that prick Ron Bakir! I thought he was thinking with his dick and after a bit of pussy from Corby. But no, he was thinking of using her to line his greedy dishonest pocket. He already has a reputation as a dishonest shonky businessman. No wonder he wants to stand for the Nationals in Queensland to follow in the footsteps of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen and the infamous Russ Hinze!!

Posted by: Gordon Melville | Jun 22, 2005 7:50:41 AM

Speaking of Nationals, always thought John Anderson was a soft cock or a dribble dick. Again after hearing of his resignation due to his prostate I am right again!!!
Must have been caused by his unnatural sexual relationship with a farm animal back on the family farm!!
It explains a lot!!!

What a real wank this whole saga of schappelle is!!

Dubious business men, airport Al Quida baggage handlers, Drug running by convict aussies, John Howard that "big fat liar", body pierced sexual deviates, Dr Death, cops corrupt to the hilt, What a farce!

Australian democracy really works well?

Bloody Anarchy in canberra, not much changed from the first fleet except corporate criminals run the circus!

Bloody Hell thats actually safe!

‘Schapelle is innocent!’

Well! Well!
To all those bleeding heart left-wing art students out there.
Now is your chance!
Schapelle is looking for a ‘TERRY’ to come forward and admit that the drugs were his (or hers). I believe Shapps is guilty but I vomited often after reading all the pathetic letter from the do-gooders who screamed Shapelles innocence and, ‘you would not want your sister or daughter in jail in Bali for twenty years etc’…..’ It is so sad….. ‘I wish it were me and not her in the jail…..’
‘Terry’! The Aussie government will pay your fare to Bali (one way) and will supply you with twenty years of toilet paper or Art degrees (but I repeat myself).
Yes! Will some left-winger or fool (but I repeat myself again) step forward and make the sacrifice.
I can already hear and see the mad rush (not to come forward) to make it to the woods! It is so easy to mouth platitudes, but when you have to stand up to be counted, then we see you cringing bastards for what you really are. If my old grandad could be here he would grab you out of your ‘ peace marches’ and chop your balls off if you had any (after giving you a good hose down to determine your sex).
How many of you whining do-gooders go off to Africa to scrub lepers?
( do you notice how ones soap keeps on getting bigger when you wash those buggers?)
Anyhow good people, us faithless none-believers are sitting here with baited breath awaiting your rush to volunteer.
(I think Schappel will have done her twenty years before that happens).
Where is ‘Mad Ron’ now?
Pastor Flagon
PS. I still support the missionary position, but those slippery little altar-boys are so hard to hold down (Must be all that candle wax).
‘Verger! ‘Bring me another little chappie, this one has split!’

PSS. God bless Gordon Melville, as the Lord has seen fit to keep the light of wisdom from his bloodshot eyes (He has a Turps problem - Gordon not God)

Posted by: Gordon Melville | Jul 7, 2005 8:47:23 AM

Sorry Gordon (You are not related to Gordon of Kartoum are you?), but People get the government they either deserve or desire. If a society does not wish to remove certain elements from amongst themselves then on their own heads be it!I left Britain many a year ago because I was discriminated against due to the fact I was the only light brown face in the district - every one else was the colour of coal!.
In those days,the British Empire felt it had obligations towards the creatures it had ruled over, so allowed all and sundry to come to the Motherland. Britain is now reaping what it sowed.Civilisation contains the ingredients for its own destruction. Look at Rome,eventually the Barbarians became the majority,could not maintain the momentum of their superior founders and, as a consequence Rome fell.
Democracy contains the ingredients for own its destruction as it believes in 'Freedom of speech and actions' ie., The lunatics eventually run the asylum!
I think that you Gordon would like Adolph to come back and hang certain minorities (soon to be the majority in Britain!)by their shrivelled gene-poor genitals from London lamp-posts.
The biggest enemy of mankind was Winston Churchill as he refused an overture from my Uncle Adolph (FACT!)to march side -by-side through the world using each of their respective countries talents to bring benefits to mankind. We would now - immortal - be watching 3-dimensional colour TV of the first space-ship setting off for the stars, not some shit-farting rocket squirting its cocked up trajectory towards our pathetic moon loaded with Art students and shirt-lifting jounalists!
Do you realise that a certain country at the arse end of the Mediterranean would only last about three weeks if not for the monetary largess of the USA! It has absolutely no resources - and I include intellectual ones under that title - to stand on its own two feet and yet it is the main cause of animosity and blown up red-double decker buses - this side of the black stump.You might think I am a bigot but I am not - I hate all stinking humanity including myself! I am going to destroy everybody on the planet this evening by taking my own life!

Posted by: HOORAY | Jul 8, 2005 2:04:27 AM

I see tonight the white mans tears of black soot trinkling down their scared faces of wealth. The road of deceipt and half pennies labour the democracy of black fellas for usury and muslim sheaths of shrouds of terrine. Me and Johnny went to the outback to smoke a peace pipe and his mate Georgie Bushwacker came to gatecrash the dream time on a twa 11 ship to banksia brush.
After the landing us black fellas had to bowe down deep to welcome the grand chief of currency, a god of human toil and white mans desisions. The accent brought back to us the time when C J Cook promised the elders land in exchange for booze and were swindled into a jack darky in our drinks to make the dream times poisoned. Johnny and Gee bush gathered around the fire awaiting the arrival of powerful white men we call BUCKLELahs that come with golden cresents of scally wag ambush medicine they call Demo cra zy! or the jubillation of corporate flyers with white wash that they paint their buildings with on top of an echidnas dome.

Me thinks that this meeting is in alliance with womans underwear thhe G8 summit of payback of what was stollen many dream times ago and our brothers headed to the land of liberty and slavery in whitemans calcutta the bronx of shitcago. As the plane arrived with the mobsters, Chirac, spaggetti Silvio Berlusconi ,Putin yellow cake, Prime Minister Koizumi bonsai joe and other little men with huge plunderings want to give back what has been jooped under the coolbah tree. President Koehler the chancellor of white mans ways with swatstika posted the letter to Johnny to overhaul hitlers planned industrial relations to make white fellas "Kunta Kinte" so that we black fellas can have white relations to drink a spiked grape juice of outback jilleroo.

The termitesin the channel of travels got their hair stained and oil black soot came from the nostril of people oppressed to roo shoot. My Uncle Jack digereedoo came in on the flight of a dove to referee the white mans poison of stealking whats owed to us in the first place and make out as if being saintly theresa with flash bang fire in tha hole. The monsoon will bring the baptism of lies that these white washers hang their laundry out to dry and then mate give sanctity to their purification. Bushy hes going back on a pushy spoked with queen elizabeth plastered on paper and the all seeing eye has been black banned with soot from the kings cross of holiness.

Im headed back toi the bush to burn the thing to the ground so that rejuvination can take place and the banksia and kangaroo paw will sprout from our land. Me thinks of all this usury that white man plunders from not only us but from their own kind to massacre the buffalo and jeronimo as labelled savage. Im thinkin of pine gap and that great big cloud of mushroom the epitaph of terrorism that feudal white fellas call beautiful so long as they aint in it.

My daddy hes left for arnhem land to deliver the words of wisdom with a kangaroo and emu that face one another and a crest in the middle the balance of white fellas power. Schappers shes havin sex with amrosi to bring about the next generation to evolve darwins theory who told my ancestors youll never be poor. Johnny and Bushhy are havin a fandango in a place they keep detainees in swash back place they call san fran scisco near the bay of gauntalamo hoopra bay and their nuke cousin fedel castro gets his havans dream pipes.

Its getting close to 6.00 pm in canberra and the interns are in labour and liberty confronts the cabinet of terror manic. There on yellas to give the moral sanity but us black fellas dont slip a john dory.

Theres a huge hum coming from the senate room where pontious pilate wants to electrocte a messiah but putting two sticks together looks more like paper work. They have brought in the nurse who worked for maternity but got sacked for sleeping with johnny and Chirac and got burnt french toast. She has the works work yoga labotomy and goirdon and chief brombden want to calm down cheswick who going to glow like a pinball machine a beakon in place of the statue of liberty. Its time for medication time but its a lot safer in here whith Washington than all those bull goose looneys out there that ride on tube trains coming out lookin like black fellas a false impression of imperialism.

The dream time and fog is comin down so ill hop on that brumby and flog that g8 summit with .

Schappers wants johnny to free her but hes a john darky with smnall values and forkedtongue.

Hey lads picture this. I was in that shithole Bali today and I called in to see Schapelle after seeing her interviewed on telly where she lamented about being 47 when she got out. I spoke to her guard – big Roger – and told him that the Strathpine ‘dog with two dicks’ was here to see her. She came rushing naked out of the shower accompanied by her ( naked) sister Mercedes (I thought it was her mother and went into instant wilt) where they both proceeded to straddle me across the sofa. (Does anybody remember those ‘Hong Kong’ bibles we used to buy in Egypt where the locals attempted to get our cash by writing porno books. What a laugh! Their English was abysmal’ – ‘ They fugged on the soda……..!’ )Anyhow, I told Schapps that I had come to confess to the dirty deed of putting shit into her boogie bag. I wanted to be famous and get into Womans Weekly (or just into womans!). She did not take me seriously after seeing what I had to offer ( She offered her honour, I honoured her offer, and all through the night I was on her and off her). She wanted to see her dad (Which one?). Mercedes said her dad was a woodcutter, and I said I believed that because I could hear her ring barking for miles.
Did you know that Schapps third dad-Big Mick- was in the navy? He was an Admiral. Schapps said she suspected he was her real dad because her naval base was always full of discharged seamen! Mercedes dad was a fishmonger and she just lay there on a slab and said fillet!
As for Schapps mother, her dad owned a pub but she preferred men to liquor.
After all these revelations, I rose to the occasion and crawled out of her cell determined never to confess again. They say it is good for the soul but what about my willie(s)? I think she deserves a visit from our Gordon. I will lend him one of my (very used) organs as he seems to have not even been in the queue when linghams were being passed out. Don’t miss a stroke Gordon until you get off the plane.

Schappers is now considered as "The Christ" of modern times according to Fion-Ireland. John Howard rides the white horse and Bush rides the red horse. Together they form the "Harlot of Babylon" the great deceiver of the Millenia weak fuckwits toying with other peoples blood to spill for their political luxury. They cant fight their own demons so have to have other brainwashed fed people to deploy their armanents. Howard is a fuckin COWARD synonymous to his name. He is the master of WAR that stems from the tree of KNOWLEDGE who builds the big guns the ultimate TERROR but accepted as conventional TERROR.

HOWARD YOUR A FUCKIN COWARD a liberty that is your Seal that seal of lies and propaganda. The black horse is your policy with Bush on the final PALE horse. GO to HELL FUCKWIT COWARDS using innocent blood for your scope. FUCK YOUR CIVIL LIBERTIES WHEN OTHER DIE FOR YOU!

She is a worthless little drug dealer, her family are all petty criminals, a number have served jail sentences, her morals are loose and immoral, her mother is the local town old worn out bike - she has more than a "cock or two".

Schappelle could be the next hot calender girl for Australian magazines.SCHAPELLE Corby has been voted one of Australia's sexiest women. Fuck Im going to smuggle 1000kgs of hemp to Indonesia and I would become the sexiest person in convict Australia. And experts predict the former Gold Coast beauty student could earn up to $500,000 for a bikini shoot if she was freed.

Release the cleric he would become a SAINT Abu Bakar Bashir! Praise be to ALLAH! Let amrosi and muklas become senators Amrosi and senator Muklas for true democracy. They would become martyrs of a job well done also.

Me and me uncle bunbery jack have gotton words of wisdom on the white mans talking box of big brother. Funnies me thinx that big brother is filmed at dreamworld on the gold coast of our fore fathers who walked these sands.

Outback jack echidna has long gone to the desert sands of Mundarah to consecrate a new habitat a beginning of white fellas hypnosis to conjure a spiked dream farce. Johnny the pongo has shifted not just work place relations but sold black fellas telecommunications that blackbox tell stra of aviation decompression. The humming of the electric dream convulsion produced by destitute interns of sparkle christmas lights. Went to an outback barby and tossed my gherkin on a white woman who amrosi winks at to start a generation of dinky di aussie sari sex slaves waiting for white donga cocks.

The cops arrive on tha scene sniffen for spermatoza and charges for the interns of impulse to jump the electrodes to massive cerebal conjunctivitis. The neurons and crebral interactivity hyper stimulates the polygraph conjecture to white mans lies of genocide of indigenous peoples.

My aunty polly molly the elder was given a duck to spread her fanny arm bucle to provide a new sensation of sexual stimulation. This is how the birth of Johnny Howardee came into the jump buck world of horny toad direction. The old indian trick of my long lost brother chief cheswick gave the assumption not to down stare a white fellas boots.

Came in on the desert shield pinjarra with the pretence that fatstone would give head but shes at christmas island to bring home the bacon for new recruits to parliament a homogenous front bench. Shes got the rags but uses them to wipe the bench, so big fat cunts can slip their way to Johnnies words of dog gone heat.

That southern marsupial mole wants to emmigrate fat tailed false antechidnas to become the pied piper to follow that dream.

Im going back to the outback to seek ambrosia to escape the monolith building full of boongs that jasper the margaret river full of horse shit.

The interns have just stepped in for night duty and the white coats want a piece of the action in the pinball room. Old man Geralton came in after treatment lit up like a pinball machine just winning the grand total of the days group therapy.

Medication comes in on the tray marked for holy santions on those less fortunate than the society that is wanked full of corrupt dominion and usury.

Hi to all you sexy pudding pullers out there. This is Fion again. It was only a rash!
Next time I will think twice about letting Gordon dial O on my little pink telephone!
I was up in Indonesia working a career move trying to get caught with a huge stash.I am just an ordinary student at Uni in Australia but I figured out how to really improve my resume. If I get pinched, the media here in Oz will try to sell more of their shit papers by using eye catching headlines. First it will be ' Lovely Oz student gets nabbed with weed in Asia'. Then it will go to' Brilliant gorgeous nympho scientist cops a hand on the arse (sorry) collar'. Then - when interest wanes - it will be 'prospective Nobel Prize winner gets shafted by filthy savages up north'.
I will save all of those headlines to put into my resume when I get out of the nick in 20 years time.
I will have joined the infamous list of misunderstood drug traffickers i.e., 'Beauty Student';'Spoilt brat heroin user'; 'The Bali cling-wrappers;'The phantom Gerbils up the rectum rasberry blower of old Bali town'.
Shapelle told me thatbefore getting nabbed, she had failed her beauty therapy course and was working for her mother Godzilla in the chip shop (That is a fact! The chip shop has now gone into liquidation). The joint was failing and that is why she drew the short straw to go to Bali to make a few dollars selling pot. Anyhow folks, I must go now with this message, ' Electra Rex ring your dad!'

Gordon (sorry) Fion

Mr Gordon Mellville and alias's! Your safe from any retribution. You show strict values that need to be enforced.

The Mellenium has just begun and world events show this. The GREATEST carnage is yet to come and not one but many Governments can prevent this.
Western Governments are a utopia of corruption and they will ALL perish and soon. It may be viewed as a hoax or "joke" but the times of World events and disasters are a datum point of reference.

To the Americans, there is not much YOU can do to stop this as Mother Nature will destroy you and other world events as with Ponbtious Pilate. The Australians YOUR corruption and oppression of usury will deliver a final "blow". You judge others but in fact are the "cereal" of terrorism over the decades of oppression. For now you believe you have the upper hand but you are in fact decorated in satans world of bondage not of physical for it is of commitment to a world of corporate fraud and deceit.

You will be delivered to disaster on an account of your own destruction that had been instigated buy your acute bondage on your OWN blood the nation you mean to protect and serve. In effect you serve your own right a dominion of propaganda to instill fear from those who want to liberate themselves as you yourself want to achieve.

The MELLENIUM has begun and the result is as each day reveals via ACTS of GOD and ACTS of OPPRESSION even thought they stem from the House of Abraham, HIS sons Ishmael and Jacob the divine Terrorism of the Tree of LIFE.

This is the riddlke of Jacobs ladder to destiny of ALL mankind. This will not be resolved untill all the worldly corruption is revealed in the Revelation of CHRIST.

May it take full dominion to ressurect the ultimate compassion and Governance.

Alas, the saga is only so compelling because it is an attractive (white) woman in the dock, in a third world (brown) nation, no less; ghastly, "Lifetime" film worthy stuff. The Koran, &c., and other moral-self righteousness notwithstanding, the innocent die in droves around the world every day. Why is this person, who is obviously both gullible and culpable, be given such emphasis? And Why is everyone so certain she's innocent? I'm white, and I don't think she's one bit innocent. I can find many more people deserving of my pity and energy. Anyone could, if they would just look around.

Corby is NOT innocent she IS A GUILTY IMMORAL SLUT.
She is AUSTRALIAN and that is more than enough to slit her worthless throat.

Posted by: Komar | Nov 13, 2005 6:11:37 AM

it has been a quiet couple of weeks for Schappelle....the news that Aust. is getting behind the 'free the Victorian Veitnamese drug mule from execution' bandwagon, is leaving poor Schappelle out of the spotlight, if Oz goes with a 'free the Bali 9 from the drop" media beatup, poor Schappele will be last weeks news as everyone will have had enough dope by then.

Posted by: bookwit | Nov 28, 2005 9:47:00 PM

Well! Well!. All you do-gooders should read the Australian 'Courier - Mail' of Saturday 10th Dec.
'Corby link in drug raid'
It appears that the Australian police have arrested the master mind of a marijuana drug smuggling ring between states in Australia. Lo and behold! Police also found lovely photographs of Schappelle Corby in some photos with him alone, and in other photos with him and two other people (all shots were 'flagrante Delicto!'). These photos have been authenticated. Schappelle swore on her Big fat mothers grave(I thought her mother was still alive but, how can you tell?)that she never had, was not using, nor ever would touch any drugs. The truth is now out. All those who were conned by her have now got egg all over their simian faces.
Oh by the way! Balinese prosecuters have requested copies of the photographs for when Schappelles appeal against her sentence comes up. She should get either an extra twenty years and/or hung from the nearest lamp-post by her lovely (now jail battered) wazzoo!

You have to be careful how you present yourself at the Bali airport. I stepped of the plane resplendant in my flowerey incontinence trousers. It had been a long trip and I had had no chance to take my bicycle clips off.The local constabulary thought they had copped another thick shit of an Aussie dope-runner when they saw this little chubby chap with ballooning strides.You should have seen their faces when they unzipped me quickly to examined my load!Especially the senior-sergeant who tried to look up one of the legs! Those trousers are worth every cent I paid for them in Blooms the Chemist.They really did keep in the outflow from 8 hours on the plane of eating Qantas Airline shit. Better out than in. I usually empty my trousers over Sydney by pressing the flush button hard,but some Beauty student seemed to be spending an inordinate time in the bogs trying to swallow about 100 condoms.I preferred the lasagna and potato salad my-self even if it had been prepared by the inmates of paramatta jail.

I agree with Fassool Rasmin III three posts up.
All the stupid people who thought Scapelle was a poor little innocent beauty student...a victim of some horrible drug dealer now have to THINK AGAIN!

This poor little beauty student has been in photos with known drug dealers (not something we all have in the family albumn huh?) plus her brother, yes the one that went through the airport with her on that fateful day has now been stung with dealing dope!?

When all the evidence points one way I find it hard now that the Pro-Scaphelle people can still think her innocent. She has been in and out of Bali and married to an Asian man before, all the roads point to Rome and Rome is a drug deling little mule (not beauty) named Scaphelle!!

She should have got 50 years!

Well written Fassool Rasmin! I'm with you, because she looked pretty and had breasts the public cried Nooooo when other Aussies were busted for the same thing.....A media frenzy began because despite all the horris conditions etc Scaphelle has always looked made up and pretty in a horrid Bali jail?

BOTTOM LINE SCAPHELLE DID IT!

I find it funny that all has gone quiet now, VERY QUIET, like whoops we all feel silly now, I don't I never believed for a second she was innocent without looking at ALL the facts.

Posted by: Simon Watts | Jan 28, 2006 11:48:59 PM

Alright, alright so I may come across as one of the more gullible ones. But not as gullible as the press printing all their cathartic crap without even bothering to do any research on the family,or even research the fact that the dope was worth a tidy sum in Bali. (don't buy from the locals theory) If the dope was actually worth 80k why loosely throw the valuable contraband into the boogie board bag unlocked.
I can't buy into the theory that it was randomly planted by baggage handlers, the law of averages of inadvertantly picking a family with drug history is just to great.
So either the scum bag half brother did it, useing her as a mule.
Or is it possible that like the Bali 9 the police tipped off the Indonesian authorities in a sting, to catch the half brother to put him in his place, or even the Oz Police planting it to get the half brother & teach the drug dealing family a lesson. Brisbane airport have stated the bag was xrayed after check in with nothing seen.
It all going pear shaped when big sis was caught instead. From the outset her whole defence case had been a disaster, if the Oz police were liasing with the Indonesian police (Bali 9)surely they should have been contacted from the outset. Either a way I still think she is innocent, but someone in the family is probably guilty.

Posted by: Colin | Feb 8, 2006 3:06:16 AM

haha.. cant believe that everyone is saying she is guilty because she says that someone planted in her bag. If thats the only evidence that you have to go on then shut your mouth or go be a hero and break her out of prison. The fact is her father and her brother are onnected with drugs in a very significant way. Thats a good bit of evidence for me, and the fact that it was in her bag thats a little bit more..look past the tears. like i could cry to a good frank sinatra song for goodness sake
