All the Balinese judges proved was that it was Schapelles bag, where is the proof that she put it there,they proved nothing, any other country would have set her free on the grounds of lack of evidence!!
Schapelle Corby should be brought back to Australia. It's my opinion nobody would be stupid enough to try and transport marijuana to Bali, and that Corby is not guilty, but even if the verdict can't be appealed and Corby remains found guilty, she should be brought back to a prison in Australia. Aren't the conditions in the Bali jails against some kind of United Nations Human Rights regulations?
Schapelle Corby's innocent. Australians should boycott Bali. Howard says to trust the indonesian legal system but how can anyone now?? its corrupt and unjust, it makes me so angry. I only wish there was some other way I could help, of course I dont know her personally but this whole thing has really got to me ever since i first heard about it.. its just not right!!!
i am ashamed of our government. I thought Australians are suppose to stick together. It is really scary to think that what is happening to Schapelle could happen to anyone travelling and the Australian government would do nothing to help. John Howard will NOT be getting my vote ever and i would not go to Bali ever. Let thing poor innocent girl come home and let her live her life and be free, she has suffered enough for something she did not do.
How can Schapelle get 20 yrs for being innocent while convicted Bali bombers get 2 yrs?? NOW COME ON! Where is the justice in that! Oh right she's Australian! john Howard move ur ass and free our Schapelle!
Indonesia will pay for this. 18 months for someone who killed 188 austratlians, over 1 billion dollars of help for the tsunami. And what to we get. A poor girl who was so unlicky that someone put drugs in her bag - she gets her life destroyed. Well guess what Indonesia - well treat you like you treat us - like shit.
Why do the bali bombers get 2 years for killing 180(?) people, yet Shapelle gets a 20 year sentance for something that is plainly obvious that she didnt do? How is that possibly fair?
If Australia didn't see drugs in with the board then they must have been put there somwhere in between Australia's baggage & Bali's baggage collection ???
The case needed more investigation.
Stay strong Shapelle.
free schapelle corby she is boody innocent and for the prime minister if you're son was accused of bringing drugs to a different country you would be saying the same bloody thing as everyone else is saying and feeling she is innocent and you bloody know it so free schapelle and do the right thing not for us but for her poor family they don't deserve this.
Please, please Schapelle does NOT deserve to be in that terrible cell. My family will definately boycott Indonesia until our Schapelle is released back where she belongs.Nor will I by anything Indonesian or fly Qantas again. No innocent child should have to suffer like Schapelle is right now. Please be Schapelle - your fellow Aussies all love you.
John Howard let us have Schapelle back home! We pay tax but it all seems to be delievered to unworthy places why not get her the best defence lawyer and bring her home! Do us proud of ronce Mr Howard!
WE WANT HER BACK SHE IS SO INNOCENT ARE YOU PEOPLE BLIND OR WHAT?? YOU MADE THE WRONG DECISION TO KEEP HER THERE AND SHE WAS THERE 8 MONTS FOR NOTHING..WE WANT HER BACK TO LIVE HER LIFE SHE WAS JUST SET UP AND WHO EVER SET HER UP IS JUST LAME AND SHOULD TAKE THE BLAME NOT HER...AND YOU MR PRESIDENT SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT IF YOU SAY YOU BELIVE HER..GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND BRING HER BACK WE ALL WANT HER BACK..CANT YOU SEE SHE IZ INNOCENT
Morality and integrity count. Boycott Indonesia, it porducts and its destinations. My vote is with Schapelle and today I voted with my wallet and cancelled my Bali holiday.
GOOD PEOPLE OF AUSTRALIA DON’T STOP YOUR PROTEST HERE. TAKE IT TO THE STREETS, TO WORK, TO UNIVERSITIES AND SCHOOLS, TO EVERY FORM OF MEDIA, TO THE GOVERNMENT. WE ARE LIVID AND WE WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW
Schapelle is INNOCENT.ANy thinking person who has followed the case and read all the facts would come to this conclusion.Our very very large family are going to BOYCOTT BALI.It's the only language they will understand.Stay strong Schapelle until we can get you home!XXOO
Let's donate funds to help Schapelle get the best legal defense for her appeals process. We gave money to help the Indonesians in their time of need now we should rally to help an innocent Aussie who desparately needs our help now!
CALLING ALL AUSTRALIANS TO BAN ALL TRAVEL TO INDONESIA COMPLETELY UNTIL SCHAPELLE CORBY IS RELEASED. WHO KNOW IT COULD BE YOU NEXT, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS TOO UNSAFE TO TRAVEL THERE NOW. LET ALONE TRAVEL OUTSIDE OUR OWN COUNTRY AT ALL.
How is that the bali bomber gets only 2 years for killing 200 people for no reason and schapelle corby get 20 years for something she didnt do. Shame on our government for not acting sooner to help you schapelle. our hearts are with you in your trying time. We know your not guilty.
Im a 20yr girl who cant imagine what it would be like to have to spend the next 20years of your life, the prime of your life, in jail...especially when you are innocent. Good luck Schapelle!!!
I'm 21 yrs old and have just returned home from America where I am on a basketball scholarship. I have been following Schapelle's case from there and have since been following it here in Australia. I am absolutley disgusted in the decision that has been handed down to her. I do not believe that there was any convincing evidence to convict her of the offense. But then to serve her with such an outrageous sentence was even worse. Come on, 20 years jail time is ridiculous!
I for one will never set foot on Indonesian soil, will never fly on any flight with QANTAS again, and will do my best to never purchase a product made on Indonesian soil.
Our Government should be ashamed with the way that they have handled this case. John Howard and his party will not be receiving my vote come election time.
Bring Schapelle HOME.
Stay strong Corby family, never give up.
Send her back home please i don't even know her,but i've been praying everynight and crying,i can't stand seeing her suffer and i belive she's innocent, i dont care what anyone says,and John Howard should do everything in his power to bring her home,how would he feel if it was his own daughter there,she's young she doesn't deserve to be punished like that.I'm sure there's something that can be aranged,even if everyone need's to give some money to support i'm sure everyone would help and give.Thank you Bring her Home Please :( Stay Strong Corby Your still beautiful no matter what they say :D
Boycote Bali....we do not stand for injustis.....Let her have a fair trial and bring the real evidence to the courts...what hope of we have to send our children over seas with No support from our goverment....when we have no support from our goverment here.....BOYCOTE is all we have..they need us we support there economy and with out us they will suffer..we helped them when they needed us where is the money we pay for TAX going (not to our people)....
There is no question of "if" she is innocent. She is and any first year economy student could tell you why. Or ask any convicted drug smuggler if they would use a plastic Boogy board cover to smuggle drugs. Please do what you have too to get her home and stop making exscuses for their Judges.
Australia has helped Bali out in so many ways but when it comes to them helping us, why do they always back away. Please john Howard bring our girl home! SCHAPELLE IS INNOCENT!!!
They let them get away with peadophiles paying to take children back to their hotels but someone who is innocent gets screwed over...
SHAME ON OUR GOVT!!!
So now we know just what Bali and Indonesia think of us Australians after we put our hands in our pockets to assist after the tsunami come on Australi boycott these countries until they send our girl home
Schapelle, I will come to see you, I am disgusted by what has happened. Be strong until I get there, love yourself, believe in life and laughter. Learn the game in prison, I heard a guy who spent 11 years in prison there, learn the customs and use them for your own protection. I love you as do so many Australians. This too shall pass, an old Zen saying. Moment by moment, without past or future.
Love Anupam
My heart goes out to Schapelle and her family, I couldn't even begin to understand how they must all feel. I only hope that with her family & Australia's support Schapelle can come through this. I admire her courage and composure throughout this horrific ordeal. My love and support are with you Schapelle.

WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?! IF THE INDONESIANS ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT DRUGS THEN WHY ARE THEIR OWN CITIZENS BRINGING IT HERE? THEY ARE BLOODY HYPOCRITS
hi i am a 12 year old girl who cried today at school when i found out that INNOCENT Schaplle Corby was charged with 20 years in jail and 14 thousand dollar fine and if not paid on time then her time is doubled. i cant belive the pain that this lady and her family has been through this past 6 mounths and then to find out that they are going to have to do this for another 20 years please please send her home and see that she is innocent and get her back with her family yours sincerly jessica bassanelli
I dont beleive Schapelle would be that stupid as to have drugs in clear view for all to see. I beleive it was planted and she had no idea about it. Others are too frightened to travel to Bali now, well I am too frightened to travel anyway. Because if Schapelles trouble started here in our own counrty what hope have we got arriving in another country maybe worse than Bali. I say the Australian Government has a lot to answer too in letting that Marijuana leave Australia in the first place. Where was their checks? I ask you again Where was the Australian baggage checks? Where is the person that checked her board in at Sydney airport? Who weight her board? I wanna know that. Why was there no weight details taken. I cant beleive no weight details where taken down as the Pilot must Know how heavy his plane is on take off? And besides isnt there a weight limit for each passenger and wouldnt she have been charged a fee for overweight on that flight? If not then WHY NOT?
Schapelle we all love you and think your innocent. This is some rotten sods bad idea of a bad joke. I hope he rots in hell and has bad luck for the rest of his life for destroying yours and your families.
Luv you girl, Keep Strong The Australian Spirit will pull you out of this. I would like all Australians to pull together and sign any petition going around to bring our girl home where she belongs.LETS All HELP SCHAPELLE Wheres your Australian Spirit.
WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?! IF THE INDONESIANS ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT DRUGS THEN WHY ARE THEIR OWN CITIZENS BRINGING IT HERE? THEY ARE BLOODY HYPOCRITS
not sure if shes innocent or not, i just found out she was a prostitute in Japan after she divorced her husband, if she did that then how could she not do this? At least she should serve her sentence in Australia.
After the guilty verdict today I will never EVER visit Indonesia again and will urge all MY family, friends and aquaintences to do the same. Let THEM pay for the injustice they have served on our beautiful, sweet INNOCENT Schapelle.
Its not right that an Australian is sentence to 20 years jail for a crime that she didnt committe in a country that has an unjust court system. Alexander Downer and the Australian Government have done absoulty #### all to help this poor girl, does anyone realise that you could be convicted of smuggling drugs be innoncent and our government will just sit on there backside and twiddle their thumbs, however when they want a war they are all for it! I am ####ing outraged with this verdict, something needs to be done to save this poor girl! Sitting in a ceil for 20 years knowing that your innoncent is hell. Indoesia a eastern civilastion has no ####ing right to decided the faith of our brothers, sisters, mums and dads, our family our friends us as Australians. After everything as Australians we have done for that country with the tsanumi and the Bali bombings, the amount of aid and money we have given them and they treat our Australians like we are ####ing trash of society. She hasnt recieved a fair trail and she doesnt deserve 20 years for a bull**** crime she didnt committe. I call all of you to raise your support for Corby and her family.
I personally think this was an outragous attack on Australians, When the bali bombing happened the man responsible only recieved a 3 year jail sentence. However an innocent girl who was accused of importing 4kgs of weed gets 20 years is ******* outragous. I though killing someone was alot worse then trying to smoke some dope and get a buzz, imagine if this was prince harry going to bali, he wouldnt even get a trail they would let him off! I think this is a very sad day for a daughter of Australia.
Send her back home, the australian government should do everything possible in order to send her back home, shes innoncent and we all know it!! bring her back home!
I am absolutely appalled with the verdict. About 200 people were murdered by the Bali bombers, and their punishment was a lousy 2 years jail. Schapelle is caught with a couple of kilos of herb, and is sentenced to 20 years!!! Another thing is that someone is only guilty beyond reasonable doubt. I don’t think that there could be any more doubt in this case. I believe if anyone is guilty, it is the Indonesian court system with all the corruption and inequality that surrounds it.
To Schapelle and her family. Hopefully you will gain the strength you need to support Sshapelle by knowing that we are very upset at the lack of justice for schapelle and we feel she is innocent. Keep up your support and we believe she is innocent. John and Sheila.
I am completely outraged that someone so obviously innocent has been treated in the manner Schapelle has. I wish there was more I could do to help bring her home!!!!!!
whjat can i say, im a 17 year old male who came to australia looking for a "Fair Go" and thats exactly what i got when i came here 14 years ago, but where is the "Fair Go" for schapelle Corby? .... well isnt our society baised on innocence till proven guilty, i know we arent using out legal system, but rather the Indonesian legal system. I look around on the news and radio trying to see what exactly the government is doing for this poor 27 year old, who Obviously was caught up with some Customs Scheme, where some individuals decided to plant the Drugs. basicly what im trying to say is im outraged by this Monsterous, i believe the australian government and the shadow ministry should join together as a joint effort and try to solve this situation after all Schapelle Corby is a fellow australian and we must defend her innocence and her rights no matter where she is .. finaly id like to say to john howard:
Ive personaly never liked John Howard because of the policies which he and his party posses but if he was to do somthing to save or prevent Schapelle Corby serving the 20 year sentance i would think in a different light, id also like to remind mr howard that many people who are almost 18 are outraged by this and if somthing was done he might recieve more support at election time's from us seeing as he would be doing whats right for the people and whats right by Schapelle Corby, remeber we may not be able to vote now, But we are the future Voters of Australia not to mention the "Future of Australia" as a whole entity. morale of this whole thing is Free Schapelle Corby she is a innocent Australian who was caught up by this vicious act.
(FREE SCHAPELLE CORBY)
Shock, horror, 20 years! Not a kangaroo court, a monkey court. Have been boycotting anything indonesia for months and telling everyone else who has an ear. Bali belongs to indonesia, don't go there. Howard, who gave you permission to give my tax dollars to indonesian tsunami relief?
