This stinks to high heaven
For the sake of everything that is good
Free Schapelle Corby
or at least give her over to the Australian Authorities to deal with
all people with any sanity, for your own safety
Keep out of that corrupt country
Sure the case and possible punishment are a joke. But whats even funnier is our poor excuse for a government who accepts that their hands are tied. My prayers are with you.
This is such a horrible thing to have happened and I can only hope that the government of Australia will do everything it can to help Schapella. Sure makes me think twice about wanting to visit Bali.
Whilst more important issues are going on in the rest of their country they'd rather jail innocent people like Schapelle. This has got to stop, here and now, whatever it takes.
The liberal government is without courage. They are too worried about political overtones, to consider the rights of the individual. Their treatment of Ms Corby is typical of this government; lots of words but no action.
God bless you, Schapelle - keep fighting. I read on another board that it is not a good idea to wear such skimpy tops to Court - the Balinese find it offensive. Please play it by their rules, however primitive, and cover up. You are in my prayers.
What a nightmare poor Schapelle must be going through. As a traveller I totally empathise with her situation. I have faith that justice will prevail though, and the Indonesian government should be put on trial for causing such heartache and pain for the entire Corby family.
How can our government sit back and do nothing in the name of "respect and Faith" in the indonesian governments judicial system. One that has proven inconsistant, and where punishments do not fit the crimes. Our government is too spineless to step on anyones toes without the skirts of the USA or UK to hide behind.
Death penalty shouldn't even be an option, guilty or not. We need to get her out of there.
Disgraceful. If Corby were my child, I would move heaven, earth and hell to free her. Australia is my country of citizenship by choice. I come from South Africa. I feel that it is only just that we write our MP's, put huge posters over adverts to visit Bali on Travel agency's windows with slogans slandering visits to Indonesia. VISIT BALI AND DIE!!!SUPPORT BALI AND DIE!! radical behaviour from Australians against this injustice must be heard in any creative manner leagally possible. Threaten to stop paying taxes,because , lets face it, our taxes have gone and will still go to the Indonesians for the sake of " GOOD RELATIONS". When the Tsunami hit, our government was the first to proudly throw millions of $$$$$$$$$$$ away. This should have been the right timing for bargaining power to release Corby over that money. I have supported John Howard and his cronies. NO MORE. If any politicians daughter were sitting in their hell hole of a jail, guilty or not. I can guarentee, she would would be free today. After the predicatable unfavourable verdict is known, we as Australians must come back to this site and work out a strategy to cripple Indonesia. They have our taxpayers hard earned cash. They do not deserve anymore. Who else is sitting and rotting in their jails who do not deserve to be. I for one had contemplated visisting Bali to support those poor people. I will never put my foot in their country. Lastly, if we can petitition and change travellers choices, we are hurting them where they deserve to be hurt the most. MS.CORBY MUST BE RELEASED.
People are routinely fitted up by police in this country (Australia)for crimes they did not commit. Anyone who would prefer not to beleive this, read up on the 1964 conviction of John Button. In a country as corrupt and divided as Indonesia, where a police officer can be bought for A$1, and a human life for little more, that any rational human being could beleive Schapelle Corby is anything but the victim of a setup is beyond my comprehension. The reason for the frame up could be anything from a simple bribe collection scam gone wrong to another payback to Australia for Timor timur. (I was in Java when that unfolded and beleive me, the resentment was intense). Whatever the motivation of the Australian government was in E. Timor, 88 innocent Australians died in Bali as a consequence. None of the Sari club victims did anything to hurt Indonesians, and neither did Schapelle Corby.
i think she is a victim of very nasty and corrupt government shame john howard doesnt care as much for her as he does about the people of other countries
What a crock of shit! The head of the Bali bombings kills 150+ people and ruins the lives of many more. Any you ALLEDGEDLY tried to smuggle some bloody weed that grows in the dirt and now face execution?!?! What CROCK OF SHIT!!! F*!K the Balinese police and government and also the same to our government! get her the F*!K out of there now!!! send troops, banned tourism anything! DO IT NOW!!! WE LOOK AFTER OUR OWN!!!
Indonesia's corruption has to stop! How can you justify 30mths for the lives of 200 people and yet death for a substance which is available on every street corner of Indonesia!! Schapelle I know you are innocent, I just wish I could do more to help - We're think of you
Schapelle Corby has a lack of resource and motivation to procure expensive drugs for sale with little or no markup in Indonesia. In spite of this, the evidence regarding the alleged trafficking was not gathered or protected, corrupting her access to a fair trial, though these charges carry a maximum penalty of death. In any modern liberal democracy, this case would be thrown out.
If you get to read this Schapelle, please be aware that you are in my thoughts often. You are not alone, and certainly not forgotten.
How can you justify murder for such a petty crime whilst under the same system of justice a terrorist involved in mass murder can walk free in as little as 30 months.What a sick reality that is.Bring Schapelle Corby home where she belongs.
how can a terrorist get 30 months jail time which he might never serve but a "suspected" and i do use that word loosely could loose her life ????
shame on you all !
Schapelle Corby was stupid taking her own board to Bali - it's a well known fact around surfing circles that Indonesian Customs and Police are corrupt and can't be trusted - if they don't like your face, you're a goner as you might have drugs planted on you. Has happened to too many innocent people in the past, a corrupt Government looking for scapegoats in a non-winnable drugs war.
May a Tsunami wipe you bastards off the face of the earth for good, from Jakarta to Denpasar, and get rid of the Indo Government regime.
While I recognise that Idonesia has the right to determine it's own laws and policies regarding illicit drugs I feel the taking of someones life over the matter to be wrong.
It seems a shame that a country as large and as beautiful as Indonesia still has such a primitive legal system. Perhaps Indonesian Government officials should concentrate on more important issues like anti-terrorism and re-building a Tsunami devastated country, than emphasizing their zero tolerance policy for the soliciting and trafficking of social drugs. Don’t execute lives, save them!
I dont understand, If a Bali terrorist can get 30 months Jail for killing 200 people, how can it be possible to sentence someone for any amount of time, let alone death, for marijuana??
I have travelled to bali meny times since 1978,and i have been there recently, every one knows that drugs are for sale there, as my son said to me (he is 26)Why would you take drugs there, you coud'nt sell them, because they are soo much cheaper there, doesnt make sense, now he is really paranoid when he travels and makes sure his backpack is locked.
I beleive schapelle, i dont understand why the australian government isnt doing anything ,what worries me it could have been one of my own children. I hope this is sorted soon you have my support
I cannot put into words how irrate I am about Schapelle's situation and our government failure to apply pressure to a country we provide many millions in aid to every year. The Australian Government should immediately fly the top brass into Jakarta to sort this mess out.
We are thinking of you Schapelle, hang in there :)
Trisha, think what you want, I never said or thought I was better than anyone. I am just one Australian concerned about another and choosing to be articulate.
After all the help and money we have donated to the Asia Pacific Region, why is when 1 lone woman is in need of help The Federal Government does NOTHING!. This is because they are so "ENGLISH" and "POMPAS" they dare not offend Indonesia. Yes Johnny send our boys to Iraq to die for your mate Bushy, but god forbid you actually do something that requires some real muscle and compassion.
fiona get over it ok please leave this for people that want to help and no proper spelling isnt importent saving a aussie girl is so please this isnt a page to have a arguement ok please just leave thanx
Brad, I am not sure why I need help and I am insulted that you think I don't want to help this woman. Be aware that it actually IS important for people to spell correctly. If you don't agree then you have little hope surviving in the real world where conscise communication is of the highest importance.
Bashir gets 2½yrs for murdering 100's and this girl gets the threat of execution for a set-up (or at the very least a case that would be thrown out of court in the CIVILISED world!) The Aussie government has her blood on its' hands if this goes the course.
in reply to 'FUK THE HIPPYS'; actually I can tell you that you shouldn't be simply because I have a firmer grasp on the correct use of the English language. Far more than can be said for you. I had no idea I was a gardening implement.
Are you kidding? Aman that was on trial and found guilty for killing tons of inocent people gets 5 years and this poor inocent women that was set up may get the death penalty? am Australian as well and am ashamed to say so after the way the government has not responded to this trgedy! Please someone help her!
to all the ppl that say dont be racist against indonesia..fuk u 89 murdered aussie's is the reason i can say FUK INDONESIA AND NO FUCKIN HIPPY HOE CALLED 'Fiona Sives" CAN TELL ME NOT TO.
This is a sad situation but I don't believe that the torrent of racist abuse is really going to help. And you really need to sort out the spelling in the 'Citizens of Planet Earth' foreword. Apart from that, guilty or not, she's being held in a disgusting manner for a crime that shouldn't be illegal in the first place.
I sincerely hope that justice prevails although I am worried that the Inodonesian courts cannot provide a fair trial. Also, people posting racsist comments here; please take your bigotry elsewhere and get some education.
2.5 years for murdering 200 ppl.
Death for smuggling pot? (Not that I thinks she's guilty...)
Indonesia spits in our eye again.
I hope your corruption destroys you.
surely her baggage weight between leaving oz and arriving in indo and video survelience can shed some light. baggage ahndlers are often in the position to do these things as many things get stolen why not stashed...keep ing hope for schappelle and family
Have faith in the Lord and he will set you FREE. Our prayers are with you. GOD BLESS YOU AND WATCH OVER YOU DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME AND ALSO TO YOUR FAMILY!!
Good old Johnie Howard, always willing not to help the average Australian. Just imagine the uproar if Schapella was a sporting identity! It would be a different story then.
i hate indonesia with every spec of my sole..and it drives me bezerk knowing my fucking tax dollers where givin to indonesia after the tsunami.PERSONALLY I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF WHEN I SEEN THOSE WESTERN HATING FUCKS SCREAMING FOR THERE LIVES LIKE 89 AUSSIES HAD TO IN 2002,
fuck indonesia,a country run bye monkey lookin half breds,lets all firebomb the fuk out of any indo scum 'living' in aus,if i see any indo kids in aus im gonna jump all over the monkey faces and let my dog rape the ass clean of the filthy fucks FUCK INDONESIA
The evidence in this young womans case certainly needs a closer examination....our government should be doing more to help its citizens to get a FAIR trail, wherever and whenever they find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
