This case does not make sense. She should be given a fair go and have the support of the Australian authorities. The drugs have been placed into her luggage without her consent. These drugs were to be transported withing Australia. I pray for the judges to understand this and as far as I am aware it is still considered a crime to condemm someone who is innocent. Let's pray for this to be resolved the best possible way. Certainly threatening Indonesian representative will not help. However I am sure that Ms Corby will come back home after her ordeal.
I believe the problem lays with the airport baggage handlers either in Australia or in Bali, they both need to be investigated thoroughly, and besides what happened to survayllance cameras in our airports? I also don't believe anyone will come forward as they may face death. Stop being a coward and face your destony, so Shappelle can come home where she belongs. Aussie's new motto! "Save Your Life, Holiday In Australia" Will all authorities get your arses into gear, so our girl can be back on our Aussie soil.
More needs to be done to fine the true criminals who planted these drugs.
This girl was just trying to visit your beautiful country and enjoy a lovely holiday, and now she is in jail and suffering so much is is quite ill.
The facts must be PROPERLY investigated and this innocent girl freed...
It is a disgrace to Qantus and Australia that the drugs were allowed outside of Australia. Hell, I think it is a disgrace that we had it in the country in the first place (I'm strongly against drugs). Those responsible for the Bali bombing, that killed over 100 people, are sentance to only 2.5 years with possible even getting off that, it is a disgrace!!! When Australia spends donates how many millions towards Indonesia for Boxing Day Tsunami, and 9 of our soldiers die for that country, disgrace!!! Indonesia and Australia have never been close friends, but we continue to attempt to be friends with them... hmmm I for one will not visit that country ever, and I will never use Qantus again.
I feel sick to the stomach as to what is happening to this poor girl. How can the Indonesian governemnt and judicial system be so archaic, arogant and cold-hearted. Can they not see beyond the 4kg stash and look at all the other facts that indicate that there are factors at play here. Open your eyes Indonesia. I would like to ask the Indonesian government also why your bali bombers get away with far less for murdering nearly 200 people. You make me sick. Please just let her go back to her country.
The Australian Government has sent much aid to Indonesia in recent times. Our felow Australians have died whilst in service in Indonesia. I am appalled at the treatment of Schapelle Corby. In my heart I believe she is innocent. Whether innocent or guilty, return Schapelle to Australia for trial. In this present time the death penalty by firing squad is barbaric and inhumane. I am unable to comprehend the difference in severity of penalties for drug smuggling and for terrorism. Unless the Indonesian Government changes it's current attitude towards Schapelle's case, I will not support the country or it's economy in any way shape or form and discourage everyone I know from travelling to Indonesia or buying Indonesian produce. This situation is truly regretable and saddens my heart.
Let her go. She committed NO CRIME here. Even the police have stated it wa sobvious she had no crime here. It is not woth taking her life for such a small thing. LET HER GO!
It is inhumane keeping a poor girl in jail like this when it is most obvious that she hasn't done anything wrong. Anything could have happened to her bag from when she left to when she arrived. No one would be stupid enough to hide something as auspicious as a 4 kg bag of drugs in their unlocked bag!FREE SCHAPELLE!
I am the same age as CORBY, and also overseas at the moment. I have also passed through Indonesia, and can only imagine the same thing happening....What if someone planted drugs in my bag? Who would stand by and defend me? I am so disgusted to see that the Australian Government will do nothing to protect its citizens. Indonesia, you should be ashamed - Making a political point at the expense of a young & innocent person is a crime.
I promise to boycott INDONESIA and all INDONESIAN products until the safe release of CORBY, and I invite all respectful Aussie citizens to do the same.
For the Indonesian government to allow this to continue at the same time as Australian Servicemen have died offering assistance is ludicrous. There is no evidence sufficently damming to allow this to continue.
Why isn't john howard helping one of our very own people,this should not be happening to Schapella Corby,the indonesian's know she is innocent.Free this innocent Australian person,please.
I am disgusted with the Australian government for letting this go on for so long. Let her out. The girl is obviously not getting a fair trial. The Indonesian "justice" system is completely unfair and barbaric. You'll never see me or my family in that country.
I am a young teen from sydney and i think this is stupid for accusing a lady who is innoccent.....what is happening to this world......they didnt do nething to the bombers now they want to kill her for something she didnt even do this is stupid im soo pissed off at bali and all those countries who we helped during everything...... we need our money and all the stuff we gave them back....AND SCHAPELLA bring her home.......and we will help yous again i hope Indonesia comes to their senses shes aussie and needs her family badly.... i hope they free her shes sick... and needs to get home.... away from this stress and your country!!....BRING HER HOME NOW!!....
'Schapelle is INNOCENT until proven BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT that she is guilty. She is nothing more than a victim of circumstance.' plus, she is not a criminal, the lack of airport secruity, ie the qantas baggage handlinh incidance at melbourne justifies this. FREE Corby
It's about time little Johnny Howard got his finger out of his arse and did something to stop this three-ring circus. This poor girl is innocent, and yet they have let her sit in a stinking, putrid Balinese jail for almost 6 months with a death sentence hanging over her head. Wake up John Howard and save one of your fellow Australians from an injust court system and a barbaric punishment.
I think that the Indoneasion government is behind the times. The fact that they're prepared to kill someone (who I personally think is innocent) who they have accused of smuggling ther lowest drug of all..Is so behind the times and so wrong. I personally will never visit Bali. I think theyt will lose alot of tourists. Its just wrong. I hope she is freed soon.
This country is whacked. They give the guy who arranged the murder of hundreds (many of them Australians) less than three years and she could get death for something it seems she didn't do! Geez...
Even if she is guilty, she doesn't deserve the death penalty. Our country has just given Indonesia millions of dollars and now they're trying to murder one of us.
Free Schapelle, she is innocent! If anything happens to this girl i personally will never visit or have money spent on indonesia. It really sickens me to see these things happening! And what's our government doing to help? NOTHING! John Howard you are a gutless wonder!
let her go and start looking at your own people for god sake your own people blew up your own country and what did we do, we helped you dont bite the hands the feed you, i was there six months ago i will never return after this, let us bring her home.
indonesia are dumb n00bs, get your act together ans free schapelle its obvious she didnt do it, shame on australian government for not helping, john howard have you got a brain?
Where is the forensic evidence? Where is the motive? Where is our Government support for this girl? Perhaps Indonesian authorities need to be threatened with massive boycotts and withdrawal of our overwhelming financial support in order to give Schapelle a fair trial. Nothing about this trial has been fair from the start. Let's all pray hard and make waves for the sake of this poor young girl. *And Kev Killing, you'd better hope you never find yourself in this sort of situation, because who will want to support you? - I don't believe you are really so lacking in compassion.
I will never holiday in Bali again...... Shame on the Australian government. As for the Indonesian legal system Bali Bombings showed the world how affective they are! She is innocent.
how disgusting is our government allowing this to go on so long for that poor woman? one only has to look at what has recently occurred in brisbane with luggage tampering to realise this is a set up. I tremble for the poor woman after hearing the judge accuse her of lying about her physical state today. For gods sakes john howard do something, channel some money out of the million u spent on the indonesians into chapelle's cause.
There is too much doubt to convict this woman. We as a nation have shown mercy toward our neighbours in their hour of need it is important that they now do the same.
God bless Schapelle on what she is going through. She's been so strong and my heart goes out to her. She's innocent! She doesn't just pass out because its hot, shes under stress and with stupid idiots crowding all over her and judging, they should just leave her be! FREE SCHAPELLE for the sake of god!
I for one dont believe it for a minute, especially after the evidence we have seen recently of the goings on at brisbane airport with baggage handlers opening peoples luggage. God help her.
Schapelle appears to be an intelligent person, I imagine she would have been fully aware of the laws that that govern Asia therefore it would be extremely unlikely that she would risk her life transporting drugs to a country with a very low dollar value. She is an Australian, our spinless government leaders have the power to bring her back to Australia, so where are they in her time of need. The government (Public servants) represent the people... we are speaking...so why are they not doing what we are telling them to do???
Innocent until proven guilty should be acknowledged by the Indonesian government, NOT the other way around. Schapelle deserves a fair trial to prove she is innocent, as we know she is. I urge everyone to boycott Indonesia in every sense of the word!
Who would take 4.5kg of pot in a clear plastic bag just chucked in a boogie bag to a country that has the death penalty to sell it at a huge loss!!
Give me a break!!
Bill, I understand your sentiment, but your comments wont help.
SEND HER HOME YOU STUPID ANIMALS!!! She is a human and does not deserve to be in a land of creatures and shit. This can be stopped easy as picking your nose why it hasnt been stopped no idea!! It must be that the Aussie gov dont want her either!
Well, she's either innocent ... or she's a blimin' good actor! I mean, do guilty people usually act so distraught and upset when they are being hounded by the press, and being accused so publicly?!
BRING HER HOME... John Howard can get the hell over there grab her and bring her back... They dont deserve to be apart of this world if they have stupid rules as such. The idiots probaly grow millions of kg's in their backyards! People that dont care about her I hope you end up in her situation and she comes home! You guys that dont care need to pack ya shit and move to Bali! For the gov of Bali I hope they burn in hell and if the Gov of Aus dont do ne thing they can lick my arse at the same time.
Scapelle Corby is innocent, this whole trial is a waste of time, they should be concentrating on who planted the drugs in her bag, not ruining and innocent young womans life.
All Australians should boycott any Indonesian aid, tourism and products until this farce is over and the kid is home. There but for the grace of God goes my kids when they went there for their honeymoon.
This young lady is innocent. Grab a brain judges no real drug trafficker would leave the drugs for all to see. You give that looser Abu 2yrs for killing your own people as well as ours and other countries and this young lady you want to shoot?. John Howard if you are our leader and a true Aussie you would and need to get your shit together and go help this girl. I pray that you will be home soon Shapelle..xx
i usually dont take notice to trials and what not like this, but something about this case hit me and got me worked up. i believe she is innocent and indonesia are using her for publicity as weird as that sounds. FREE SCHAPELLA CORBY!!
The moral is do not rely on the Australian government when over seas. The Bali bomber got three years for killing hundreds even there own. They don’t do anything about people who rape children. But no one must bring in a weed that grows so relevant in Bali. The Australian government overseas is like a toothless kitten gutless to do anything and lets other countries walk all over us.

I have been to Bali 11 times...Had full intentions of going there in July for my 4 weeks holidays...But now I have changed my destination Norway looks good:) This Girl needs to come home. Send her home where she belongs. The girl is innocent....
Lets hope justice well be done here and Schapella is allowed to go home. I cant not begin to imagine what she is going through.
If justice is not done here Australia should reconsider the aide given to this 3rd world dump!
Chapelle is innocent. Even if she isn't why should she get the death penalty when an INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST only gets 8 years? The Indoensian legal system is seriously stuffed up!
She is totally innocent considering it grows like a weed over there. You couldnt begin to wonder what she is going through over there, i really feel for her family and friends and the loved ones she has around her. If she is convicited what faith does the government expect us to have in the justice system. It wasnt that long ago Johnny Howard was pleading for the life of a convicted HERION DRUG SMUGGERLER, now whats thats say about our government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
shapella will not get a fair trial in this country,how can you have a trail when the Judiciary do not understand,or speak our language.I have lived in these countries and know that they can be extremely biased against our people.
What is the world coming to when evidence is tampered with and fingerprints not taken, but accused is still punished for something that was not her fault.
Where are all the security films, just so happens none were working that day, do they think every one is stupid?
Give her life back that was so cruely taken from .
her. Indonesia, shake up and wake up.
DO NOT KILL SHAPELLE CORBY, if she is innocent let her go, if she is guilty let her serve time in an Australian jail.
If you can't prove beyond all reasonable doubt that she is guilty of the crime and not a victim of wrong place wrong time, an unwitting courier for someone else, a pawn in a much larger game that is being played out, then do the honourable thing, the humanitarian thing, the right thing and LET HER GO, IMMEDIATELY.
All i Have to say is how very sorry i feel for the poor girl! It really hit me yesterday when watching the news. I reliesed how significant this matter really is and that a fellow Australian is beeing punished with such magnatuid! Even if she were gulity for this stupid (crime) Which she very obviously is not then this punishment does not fit the crime! No way
God Bless Schapella Corby
And i agree with anyone on this matter what the hell is our Prime MInister doing seriously?
Free Shapella and let her come home. the crime does not fit the punishment. Where is the justice in the Indonesian system when the people implicated in the Bali bombing that killed lots of people, let the murderers go free and are not executed. If she is convicted, a lot of Australiansare going to boycott Bali as a holiday destination and Australia should not support and give aid to a country that treats Australians in such a barbaric way.
This is stupid, there is so much evidence to prove that she was set up, why are they still pushing it.
What ahs the Australian Government done to help?
We have sent a lot of money over to Indonesia to help their country, yet they let our people go through hell that are innocent.
No way in the world would I go to Indonesia,or send money over there, after the way that treated her.
I do-not believe in drug smuggling but I do believe there are problems at the airports with bag checking.
Get her out of there and home again.
What bali is doing to her is in its own rights criminal what happened to innocent till proven guilty besides that i believe she is innocent and no wonder she is getting sick look at all the balinese people swarming to her outside the court house this is ridiculous give the poor girl some diginity let her go. as soon as indonesia has problem such as tsunamias and earthquakes they quick to put out there hand and ask for finacial supporrt but as soon as an australia needs help where is our govenment bloody john howard your a disgrace pull your finger out of your ass and do something. and as for the balinese get with the times out with the death sentence and in with the real justice. I mean they let a terriost off with imprisonment rather than the death sentence even though he was part of the bali bombing at a nightclub and they pretty much let that asshole go so why cant they let an innocent girl come back home.
