I very much agree with Jim Labra. It is not worth the risk. What type of person would be that stupid? We all know how harsh indonesian punishments are so why would schappelle corby do that? she wouldn't.innocent to proven guilty.
there's no where near enough proof to justify this. i beleive ALL AUSTRALIANS SHOULD NOT VISIT INDONESIA UNTIL SHE IS RELEASED!!! THERE GOES THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AUSTRALIAN TOURISM SUPPLIES THEM WITH!!
I WONDER IF THEY WOULD RAISE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IF WE HAD A NATURAL DISASTER??? UNLIKELY.
INNOCENT.
Australian living in New Zealand. I am ashamed of the government of my country who does not go to the aid of one of their citizens who is being obviously wrongly accused of a crime. I will never travel to Bali for holidays.
i have been following your story and sharing it with a friend in au and i belive in my heart you are innocent
be strong and pray
god and the world stand beside you
your fiend carol
from the states
innocent to proven guilty.

I believe that Schappelle is completely innocent....just a pawn in the bali justice system...and they are using her as a scapegoat to overcome the bad publicity following the bali bombings
The Balinese Govt. is a joke and the way that they are treating Schapelle makes me sick. Why did Australia help the Indonesian tsunami victims???
I prey Schapelle comes home soon.
If our government wants Australians to know it has a hard-stance on drugs, it needs to get it's facts right first and then make an example of a guilty party, not this innocent girl.
If schapelle is guilty, she has suffered her punishment by far. For God's sake set her free now. If she is innocent she has had a crime committed against her and should sue the Airlines / Customs.
I find it impossible to believe she would be so dumb to do what she is accused of. I am really put off Bali. They should clean up their own streets before signalling out the Aussies. Some laws they have Huh? If it was an Australian who did the Bali bombings what would the sentance have been? Sell pot your dead, kill hundreds and you get very little punishment? I would like to Boycott Bali!!!
anyone visiting bali knows you can buy pot on any street corner.
anyone flying knows how easily it can be for bags to be tampered with eg.camel suit at sydney airport . My heart breaks for Schapelle & her family. Its obviouse she is innocent to anyone with half a brain.

We should be looking for the guilty parties in Aust, especially at the airports, both here and Bali, once caught, hang the bastards for the pain and suffering endured by this girl and her family.
It's nerve wracking enough flying to foreign countries with the current state of terrorism, let alone worrying about what might be put into your luggage. There has to be a better way of ensuring your bags are NOT tampered with. If there was, we beleive Schapelle wouldn't be in this situation.
This poor girl, innocent of the crime she is accused of, has me crying everytime I see the pain on her face. Why would she take drugs to Bali? It is like the old saying - about taking coal to Newcastle! If she had intended to do this, she would have gone straight to Bali not as I understand, via two airports. I am so infuriated by this accusation that I will never ever go to Bali or any part of Indonesia again and I will rally support among all my friends to do the same.

We believe Shapelle Corby to be innocent! We will never visit a country such as Indonesia, where they can allow a convicted terrorist Abu Bakar Bashir to be sentenced for only 2 years and 6 months jail (with prospect of appeal) for his proven 'conspiracy" participation in the Bali Bombings that killed 183 people. It's disgusting and how dare they treat our Aussies in this way. Bring Schapelle home NOW!
She is innocent why would anybody try to import drugs into Bali when their are so many available on the streets. Drugs are the second thing you can buy after a massage. So the officials should look closer to home and let Schapelle go!!!!
Free Schapelle Corby, anybody can tell she is an innoncent woman. My heart breaks for this innocent woman and you are constantly in our prayers. Johnny bring her home, make Australia proud of you and everyone boycott Bali(they are a joke!!!)
I believe Schapelle is innocent, apart from the marijuana being found in her bag, there is nothing else that even remotely points to her being guilty. To the comment by number 647 I believe that when you are on holiday you are so excited the last thing you would be thinking of is the weight of your bag and if she simply picked it up off the carousel & threw it straight on her trolley she would not have noticed the weight difference. This whole situation is unbelievable & upsetting, I can't believe that the Australian government has not stepped in to help in this case as it has innocent written all over it. My thoughts are with Schapelle today and I just hope that the Judges find her innocent or at least reduce her term as sentencing someone that is innocent to life imprisonment has to be the worst crime in the world. My heart goes out to Schapelle & I hope that she has the strength to get through the day.
All Australians must do two things:
tie a yellow ribbon to a tree
make the indonesian gov. aware we will not support the tourism industry if schapelle is not brought home!!!
Surely she was able to tell that she was carrying an extra 10kg's when she picked up her boogie board from the luggage collection point. 10 k.g's is about the weight of my 2 yr old son, and I certainly know when I'm carrying him because my arm start to hurt after about 5 mins. A lot of questions need to be asked. Don't just follow the media hype that she is innocent!!!
I've heard experts on Indonesia saying there will be no justice, the Indonesian judiciary will find Ms Corby guilty as they will 'want to save face'. I wish all people would stop visiting Indonesia. We must show them what they are doing is not 'just'. The Australian government needs to be stronger - not so sycophantic.
We would do well to mingle justice with mercy, and logic, surely Shapell is innocent. Doesn't it help also that thousands of Australians helped the Indonesians at the time of their great need.
They do not have any evidence that she put the drugs into her bag.When you pass your bag over at the check-in counter its out of your control.We pray that The Lord will intervene and she will be home soon
Bring Schapelle Home!
Not only is this crisis hurting Schapelle, her friends and family but it is hurting the who of Australia, including myself...
All i have to say to mr. Howard is, how rude can you be you havent even sent Schapelle's mother a letter or tried contacting her.
!00 years ago our Government politicians stood by with their fingers up their bums while the British authorities executed two innocent Australian soldiers, Morant and Handcock. In more enlightened times Mr.Howard, don't be guilty of innaction again. End the farce and stop playing games with an innocent life for the sake of politics. We are all proud Australians and will answer the call when needed.
i believe chapelle is innocent. our luggage is not safe from the airport untilthey starting to screen all the workers backround before entering the workforce.
i was an airport security before i came to australia 19 years ago.
god bless her.
I think this is outrageous, she needs to be brought home. What times are we living in when this kind of treatment is considered acceptable. BRING HER HOME!
John Howard, what the hell are you waiting for, DO SOMETHING!!!!! An innocent girl is rotting in a filthy jail cell, and you've done nothing.
Schapelle, i've cried many tears for you , we know your innocent, my prayers go out to whoever it is that can help you. God speed.
With the Bail;inese authorities handling the evidence without gloves instantly corrupted any physical evidence that existed. On top of thast the girl is innocent !!
I dont know her personally But I am on her side 100% bring her home to Australia -Free this innocent Australian girl.
My thoughts and prayers are with her daily,
Glenda Howard

If convicted Corby should be able to return to Australia to serve her time here. I believe she is innocent but she should not be deserted in Bali, regardless of the outcome
Howard, you are a spineless monkey lover, I hope you have a nasty car accident and die painfully. You're not fit to lead Australia, you're a monkey lover and we don't like monkey lovers. I hope someone shoots you from a distance and gets away with it.
