I have always thought of how excited you would have been planning your trip to Bali with your friends, it' so exciting when the time finally arrives and youre on your way. Never in your wildest dreams could you imagine that the holiday of a lifetime could turn out so bad. I feel so sorry for you Schapelle I have tears in my eyes every time I see you on the news and I pray so hard that they will let you come back home really soon. It is really dissappointing to see our generous and warm hearted Aussies constantly giving to the Indonesian government - Bali Bombings, The Tsunami etc and they cant even give our own Schapellea Corby a fair and reasonable trial. I wish you all the love in the world.
Innocent or not, the Australian government hasn't done enough to secure her from the death penalty. Doesn't something like the tsnuami and the way we helped them mean anything ? I mean we contributed more than any Islamic country put together.
Keep fighting Schapelle, Don't give up!! You have so much support back here in Australia and we'll keep fighting for your freedom until that day arrives!!!
Our poor Schappelle, shes a child of this country, yet she still sits in that filthy indonesian jail, convicted of something she so obviously didnt do! I just hope that our government doesnt think that we will sit back and just watch this happen, like they're willing to do! Schapelle, ur my hero, keep fighting sweetie, and so will we!
Shapelle should be bought back home and left alone, she has suffered enough.Howard is a spinless weasel and should be more concerned with his own people.
I think this is absolutely awful!! The Bali police system should be ashamed of themselves for still treating people like this. This woman certainly does not deserve death by firing squad, that is inhuman!!! She was framed and someone has spoken up in her defense
I think it is horrible what they are doing to this poor girl. It is obviously not her that commited the crime so why can't they just let her free!! She has suffered so much WHEN IT WASNT HER FAULT. thats all.
I am NEVER voting for the Howard government! and I will most certainly NEVER go to Indonesia, and make sure none of my family and friends go there. Shame on them. I feel for you Schapell and my prayers are with you every day you are in their country.
It could have happened to any of us who have travelled to Bali so many times. If she was guilty she would have broken by now. Lets all stand behind her and hope she is home soon
My heart goes out to you Schapelle, stay strong and believe that your innocence will be proven, you have many many supporters who care so much for you and your plight. I for one will boycott Bali if they do not accept the evidence shown to them by your legal team. This is so so wrong.
Schappella....focus deeply..you will get out...only to have your victory back home in Australia....we are all thinking of you...even at my place at work ... all of Australia is behind you schapella...just keeping focussing..
Australia...we now have witnessed how our Government has their interest in it's citizens....let us all come together for Schapella....Schapella please stay strong....please!
Australia...we now have witnessed how our Government has their interest in it's citizens....let us all come together for Schapella....Schapella please stay strong....please!
so...Embassy of Republic of Indonesia...convicted terrorists kill...and live with a short sentence....Schapella...n o evidence...yet you would like to sentence her to death.....remember what goes round comes round....forever!!!!!!!!! !
Frightening that any one of us could so easily be in the same position. No one really interested in finding out the truth, just to make an example of her ... guilty or not. Australia is simply more concerned with their "relationship" with Indonesia, instead of fighting for one of their citizens.
If Schapelle's found guilty, Bali needs to be boycotted until she's free & home safely, & our pathetic, worthless government must have a vote of no confidence against it!
Schapella Corby is INNOCENT! As long as the Australian Government assists Indonesia and Schapella is left in Bali, I will boycott Indonesia and any personal donations.
We cannot sit by and watch an innocent Australian citizen rot in jail in a foreign country!! Schapelle is clearly an innocent victim in all of this. Even just looking over the evidence does not support the charges. PLEASE help to save Schapelle!!!
Execution is not the way to go; it is final and once any person goes they wil not come back. She doesn't fit the character of a criminal, and why would ANYONE risk it expecially when she has been there before and knows how tough they are. If she is allowed to come back to Australia and serve her sentence here then it may be possible to take it further and continue to resolve it.
The Australian government and federal police has not done enough to determine how her baggage was tampered with in Australia. Qantas has a lot to answer for. There is no way anyone going on holidays would carry a bag of dope of that quantity to a country which everyone knows the death penalty applies. Yes, terrorists killed many tourists in Bali, many Aussies killed for no reason other than holidaying with friends and these coward murderers walk away with light sentences who did not display any remorse for what they did, and were actually proud of what they did and laughed about it in court in the presence of family members of the deceased. Schapelle, never give up to those corrupt "lawmen", you are innocent and if those judges really have a heart and are honest to seek the truth they will allow you to come home. This is where they can demonstrate what their true religion commands of them in anyones language "seek and you shall find", "Thou shall not kill". I have been to Bali many years ago because it was cheap, but now I will not set foot in any Indonesian country or support them for any disaster relief effort. I have become this way because of the gross injustice and Mick Kealty should have a good long think before he opens his mouth about what he says when a witness testifies irrespective of their current status. Kealty cannot prove that the evidence given is hearsay without fact. He should be doing more preventing these thugs from stuffing around with airport baggage and find out where it came from; they can do it, they have the technology, but some people are going to get caught for not doing their job properly ie all levels of airport security. John Howard you can do a lot more; an innocent life is worth billions times more than the crappy free trade agreement you're trying set up with a corrupt government. I'm with you all the way Schapelle; NEVER GIVE UP
Please free this woman she is our sister, wife mother and child. We cant let this keep on going. Schapelle you are innocent and I am sorry that some of the people on this earth are to selfish to help. Peace be with you girl
BLESSED BE
free this poor girl..I was crying this morning just based on that she is sooo stressed she is sick, and very sick at that- all from stress, she wants this over as much as we all do, yet some days she hasn't even been able to go to court! Help this poor girl, and help her now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to you Schapelle. You are the victom of a harsh and unjustified system in which we are all forced to sit and watch your undisclosed fate.Your continuing high spirits makes me think you are such a true and strong spirited person. Questions just keep coming to me though, why won't the Indonesion Government back down? What is going on and WHY did they propose a DEATH by firing squad conviction? Who HONESTLY agrees you should have your life taken blown to pieces over MARIJUANA to begin with? I want to re-state now that I BELIEVE IN HER INNOCENCE. The Indonesion Government won't even investigate claims or do anything to justify the death by firing squad. The Indonesion government is corrupt and their economic system is in ruins, yet they are running the show, they are too powerful.
May I say on another note though i am reading stuff like "we wont come to your country or buy your products" etc, if you have been to Indonesia, you will realise that it is the government and their agents that give the whole country these overall thoughts, and it is the workers that make you look at life and think "Wow am I lucky" The Indonesion people care for Australians and they already suffer ALOT from there government, their pays are so low they can barely afford anything, yet they still smile, they still teach their kids schooling, even when they can't afford it, they sweep their small little shops/houses every morning and night and most of all they justr don't give up. People reading this probably think I am blabbling about un needed information but we need to look at this situation from overall, otherwaise we arn't going to get anywhere.
Sincere wishes of good luck to you Schapelle.
Schapella Corby is innocent and the Balinese Court will rule that to be the case after examining all the evidence before it. The real crime on trial is Indonesia's utilization of capital punishment. By adapting this type of punishment, you are in gross violation of international human rights. Though our hearts go out to Corby as she is put through this cruel intimidation, our hearts also go out to the people of Indonesia. Their rights, like ours, need to be protected and treated with more humanity. To do otherwise, will be a crime indeed.
Australians are very protective of their own. Any judgement other than complete exoneration, apology and compensation on the part of the Indonesian Government is unacceptable. Schapelle Corby's experience is an example of Indonesia's continuing human rights policy. I urge all Australians to think very carefully about future interactions with this regime. At one time the Howard Government thought Indonesian policies so abhorrent they instigated military intervention. Political and economic repercussions will be felt in both countries if Schapelle is convicted. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Schapelle.
Samuli: This is not the place for you to argue with the people who support Schapella. Maybe you could publish your email address, home address, or telephone number so people could contact you, then you could boast an argument with people face to face, like a real man.
For God's sake, bring the poor girl home!! Taxpayers of this country are paying for a government that is doing diddly squat to help Schapelle out! Shame on you!
Schapelle, if you ever get to read any of these messages, know that we are thinking of you and praying that you will come home soon!
Bring Schapelle home! I'd think terrorism is more of a priority than drug smuggling! Granted, it is a serious offence, but Schapelle smuggling?? Yeah, right, and Osama is in the running for being the next Pope!
After all the compassion and help we have given the Indonesians after the Tsunami. This is absolutely outrageous.
And what about Australian still putting money into and travelling to Bali. One of there own killed our Australian while they were having fun. He basically gets off and we get this in return. I will never holiday in Indonesia or warrant them money if she is found guilty. This is disgusting. Thank god for the business man helping her. I will buy my phone from you.
Send Schapelle home to Australia now. She is an Australian citizen who has wrongfully been accused of a crime. Our government should be doing everything possible to ensure her swift return and her humane treatment. It makes me sick to think that this could have happened to anyone - and it could again. Got off your collective asses, ministers, and realise that this could cost your jobs - because Aussies won't accept your inaction in this matter.
She is a fine example of one of Australia's young care free citizens, enjoying her life, travelling to broaden her horizons, to appreciate how others in the world live. And this happens. What a blaitant full forced kick in the head all Australians have recieved, She is Australia's daughter and all Australian's are feeling the same way about the Balinese Court systems, especially after the penalty given to the Bali Bombers. "protect your own people" seems to be balinese peoples thoughts, I think its about time we in Australia did the same.Lets turn our backs forever on the balinese, they are thankless, corrupt, and self caring. We have been played on for long enough. P.S. an eye for an eye. Australia wont forget.
something must be done to bring Schapelle Corby back to Australia. clearly she is innocent, and the whole world must know this. in fact, i am so digusted by the stench of corruption surrrounding this issue, that until something is done to save her, i along with many friends who strongly believe in her innocence will abstain from purchasing products made in Indonesia.
It is a complete disgrace that persons responsible for the Bali bombings should get such leanient prison terms, yet Schapelles life is at stake. Your country will not be visited by myself or my family EVER. Why would I put myself at risk of this kind of treatment?
She is innocent - why would anybody take drugs INTO Indonesia ?? We have to fight for her, she needs help from fellow Asutralians. We are so generous to others, we have to help one of our own
Oh, come on, arresting someone for smuggling drugs INTO Bali? That doesn't even make sense since Bali EXPORTS drugs, not imports them. Obviously, this poor woman was set up. But even if somehow she wasn't, murdering someone because they're carrying drugs is barbaric and pointless - like that's REALLY going to stop the actual dealers, right? Morons. And the whole drug war itself is a criminal waste - trillions of dollars wasted (we could have used it to cure AIDS or cancer or world hunger instead) and still more drug use than ever! Wise up, Indonesia. Murdering this terrified woman will solve nothing nor will it stop one single ounce of drug trafficking, but it WILL show the world what kind of barbaric, inhumane thugs run your country OR you can show the world how compassionate Allah and your nation can be: free Schapelle Leigh Corby!
This case is truly disgusting! We are living in the year 2005 for gods sake!
Why is she going to die when Bashir (who killed hundreds) gets to live??!!??
If she is executed, there is no way I am ever going to come and holiday in Indonesia ever again.
That sentiment is echoed by the muilitude of business and social contacts i have here in Australia as well.
Please....you do realise that there are holes in this case so therefore how do you justify a death sentance? if this happens it will be wrong, you cannot possibly do this when there is even the slightest chance your wrong...everyone knows that baggage can be tampered with...look at the employee of and air line who stole a novelty camel suit from someones bag, doesnt that show you that something could have happened along the way? .. she is our girl...bring her home, PLEASE!
My family and I will never again visit Indonesia, or purchase products made in Indonesia. Both in protest, and fear of the obviously barbaric minds of the Indonesians. We pray for you Schapelle.
She is innocent, no doubt about it. My friend was a Qantas baggage handler. He often joked about opening luggage. It's common practice. They love finding sex toys and turning them on, then closing bags!!
