All because of weed...I'm appalled to think that someones life is up for debate because of weed and yet, we're allowed to take alcohol and cigarettes legally into other countries. I know it's an entirely new debate I'm raising so I'll leave it at that.
Schapella should be sent home to face charges, not stuck in some shitty little Indonesian prison where the justice system is a total joke.
Kia Kaha Schapella (Be strong)
Dear Mr. Priminister Howard Please have the Intestinal Fortitude to step up and be counted.The world is watching this and is aware of the intricicies involed.You can make it happen!
Australians! Boycot Bali and Indonesia in every way you possibly can.
They are faschist and corrupted pigs. Anyone that has half a brain knows that Schapella Corby is innocent. Its the indonesian judges that should be locked up for what they are doing to her..The indonesians are the mother of corruption. Islamias ,Baktir gets 2 years for killing 200 of our Aussies, and here you have someone that you don't even know that she did it and they want to take her live . Wake up Aussies! to the foul disgusting barbaric corrupt despot indonesian system and help free Schapella Corby
Indonesia you are disgusting, I hope that an earthquake hits Jakarta and levels it to the ground.
Leave her alone Indonesia! Let her come home, innocent she doesn't deserve to die when that person who killed our Country men and women only has a 2 year sentence!
Let her go. Obviously this is an innocent girl and you don't need to be a high court judge to see that.
Never will I travel to Bali or any other Indonesian Country.
This girl is innocent. Do for others as they are doing for you. Let her go free.Your injustice will be felt through the karmic tides that have swept through your shores. Save Schapelle Corby my prayers are with you and your family , Please don't give up.
The citizens of the United States stand firmly behind Ms. Corby, and denounce the travesty of justice imposed by the Indonesian Government.
We call for her immediate release, and an investigation into the mismanagement of this case.
I am appalled at your treatment of this poor girl. I will never visit your country again or purchase any product you product. I am disgusted and will encourage other to do so as well
enough is enough. She is already pyschologically scarred for life and our government needs to act NOW and get her home. If she is jailed or killed there will be an uproar. Lets band together and get her free'd.
Please Mr Howard, as a 22 year old who supports you and your decisions, stand up and show your country that you are doing everything you can for Schappelle Corby.
Show us that you are taking some sort of action.
In reflection, I am not convinced that you actually have a stance on the issue and believe one way or another - It appears that you are totally indifferent. At present, if Ms Corby is found Guilty with a punishment of death by firing squad the public is not at all convinced that you are planning on standing up and saying something.
This brings the question, why am I, and all the rest of us mere taxpayers unaware of your position on the matter, I would have thought you, as the Leader of our fair nation, you would have been leading our nation through this. Guiding us with you intentions and beliefs. Creating a sense of calm and knowing. Instead the public is being left in a state of disarray - not receiving any answers or explanations. Leaving room for misconception, misunderstanding and mass fear.
I was recently made aware that the Australian Government can do little at the moment as it has no jurisdiction on Indonesian laws, but the rest of our nation appears to be uninformed. As soon as the sentence is given, The Australian Government can apply for different options available under the Bilateral Cooperation Agreement, which deals with irregular people movement and transnational crime, including drug trafficking and organised people smuggling . It also cover a wide range of issues, including extradition. This was put in place between Australia and Indonesia in 2001. Why is it that the Australian people do not know this or have not been recently reminded? This is nothing short of detrimental to your status as PM. Take another look at the top line of my letter Mr Howard. I am 22 years old, I own car outright, and hold the leash to a mortgage with my 24 year old partner. I work hard, pay my taxes and you had my support. I am not alone in feeling
Bali law must not play "god" who do they think they are to judge someone anyway....only god can do that ....after all isn't that what heaven and hell are there for?? Wake up! Set her free, let her come home.She has paid too much a price as it is.
I will never return to Bali again if this is what they deem justice. All of Australia feels for innocent schapelle, the distress and pain is evident on her innocent young face please free schapelle
Airline bags handlers have a lot to answerfor. Free this innocent girl and let her return to a humane society. I for one will not be returning to Bali for any more holidays.
Like 911 the truth seems to be squelched out of existance by the authorities not forcing institutions (911-removal of evidence from Pentagon) to take responsibility (Corby - airline has some responsibility). It seems here that the government would like us to be side tracked while our attention is diverted from the so called 'terror wars'. Even if justice isnt served here and now it will come on judgment day.
Paul Wilson (Criminologist): "One experience that sticks in my mind was when one of the judges said
to me: well, you're a criminologist, you should be able to read faces
and know whether Schapelle Corby is innocent or not. And then he asked Schapelle Corby to stand up and for me to stand up
and for me to look in her eyes and say whether I thought she was
innocent or not. And I said to the judge, and to the court, I said
well, I cannot just come to a conclusion based on looking at her eyes."
What kind of archaic judicial system is this?? Those judges don't even seem educated!
And this is John Howards response, "We have to have faith in the Indonesian justice system because that's the system that's trying her"
"We must respect the processes of the Indonesian justice system." Poor girl has no chance!
Indonesia has draconian laws totally out of step with modern society. Why does all the news media, even her own Australia talk about sentencing, she hasn't been found guilty yet. Don't travel there, if you are suspected of something they don't have to prove your guilt, you have to prove your innocence. Was the bag containing the drugs tested for her finger prints??? The plastic would have been an ideal medium if they were there, also her DNA would be present surely?
Our heart sinks everytime we see up dated news from Schapelle's nightmare. Hang on there Schapelle... you'll be home soon, we have no doubt you are innocent and surely the judge MUST see that too.
How about all government sources wake up to themselves, this poor woman has been framed, a blind person could see this, she is innocent, do something right for a change Howard.
The death penalty is an inexcusable means of punishment and I am disgusted by your countries policy on this subject. This woman is innocent until proven guilty. Free her now!!!!!
Just by taking one look at this girl you can see she has INNOCENT written all over her.... This girl has been framed.... All Australians need to support Schapelle! What if she was your daughter?
Free Her, I be if it was a politition or their family..they would'nt be rotting in jail,sorry but Australia has done nothing but cover & run from this 1, Wont see me flying within Australia.. IT'S NOT SAFE..anyone could get to your laugage
She didn't know that it was in her baggage, she was framed.Her baggage left her possession too long of a time and n e thing could have happened. She is innocent..She should be free.
Wake Up ! She would have to be a fool to take what is worth $60,000 to a place where its value is only $10,000 and at the same time knowing that the pentalty is death and then claim her luggage as being hers ! She did not even know that the drugs were in her luggage.
Wake Up !
Indonesia - join the 21st Century. Let people go when you don't have anything but the most trivial, meaningless evidence to establish guilt, and a MOUNTAIN of evidence to show a drug smuggling and baggage security system gone horribly wrong.
Howard: an azz licking poli-tick who sux up to zionist warpigz in Washington. sends our soldiers off to war on a HUGE FAT DIRTY BUNCH OF LIES and you expect him to give a damn about Ms Corby? don't vote for him next time or get more of it, but worse.
QANTAS/Australian customs and airports: why the HELL aren't you funding her defence? It's your fuckup that led to the PILLOW-SIZED bag of hash being transported on your plane to ANOTHER COUNTRY in the first place. You claim NO RESPONSIBILITY for that? No lapse in security?
The baggage handler: whoever fucked up and failed to pick up this shipment in Sydney would already be feeling his or her punishment. They must be fearing retribution from their drug smuggling employers every hour of the day.
I am an Aussie living in London nad have been following this since it all happened to this beautiful and innocent young lady named Schapelle. Its is extremely IMPORTANT now that all Australians DO NOT go to Bali on vacation or any other reason. Boycott BALI please everyone. I beleive in you Schapelle and I am so sorry you have to go through this. Australian Government please take notice we are very angry with you for not helping her.
How my heart aches when I see peole sacrificed for the sake of power politics. 30 year ago it was the pople of East Timor - today it is Schapelle Corby. When will we ever learn.
this case is turning into a joke. Wasnt her baggage weighed and that before boarding? Wouldnt 4 kgs of weed like weigh down her board bag etc? Bring the poor girl home
This is an outrage - it is horrific. We need to come together as one to fight the injustices that the Islamic countries are famous for carrying out.
Let's not make her into a female version of "Midnight Express."
Why kill an innocent person with so many holes in the story and on the other hand only give 2 years jail to a killer of over 200 people....Indonesia you suck and so does your government.

This is pathetic keeping her there trying to give her the death penalty what the hell for she is innocent give her a fair go!!!! I honestly cant believe how ungreatful these Balinese people are! after everything that the Australians do for them this is the way they treat her.... its pathetic free Schapelle Corby and find the bastard who put her in this situation..i hope the person who got her into this mess pays for it if she is given the death penalty gutless wonder come forward so the innocent can walk free!!!!!!!!!!!! Schapelle our thoughts are with you we know ur innocent and the person who did this will hopefully pay for it!
Schapelle is innocent!! She doesnt deserve to be in this situation and whoever has done this should be the one in jail, not her!! God bless you Schapelle and my thoughts are with you everyday. FREE SCHAPELLE!!!
it's not fair, having no locks on luggage someone could have so easily set her up and planned to steal her bag at the other end....capital Punishment for this minimal crime is so unfair, in fact capital punishment should only go to those who have murdered people themselves and thats it. but to die by firing squad is a disgusting way of giving the death penalty and totally inhumane, especially for a crime of this nature. Besides I believe Schapella is INNOCENT...FREE SCHAPELLA CORBY NOW.....I AM BOYCOTTING INDONESIA FOREVER.
