Promoted under the 'Artists for Schapelle' initiative, which is being run by the UK based web portal Schapelle.Net, the song is titled "Saya Tidak Bersalah, I'm Not Guilty". These were Schapelle Corby's last words prior to being sentenced in March 2005.
Rachel James, of Schapelle.Net states: "This is a remarkable track, from a hugely talented emerging artist. It is a beautiful song, full of passion and insight, and delivers the message in such a moving way". She continues: "Sometimes music speaks to people in a way that words simply cannot, and can cut straight through media smear. The 'Artists for Schapelle' initiative provides a platform for all genre's of music: for artists who wish to oppose this injustice and cruelty and add their support".
The track can be heard on, and downloaded from, the following web page: Artists for Schapelle An audio file has also be placed on YouTube: Saya Tidak Bersalah, I'm Not Guilty

What a lovely song. Credit to her and to those on that Brit site for doing this. It brings shame on Australia that people here are so blinded by what the networks tell them. The rest of the world must be starting to look at us disgust for leaving her there. They have a point. |

To the Australian Government and anyone else who has any pull. Get your finger out and get Schapelle out of there as soon as possible. She's been in there for five years now for something she had nothing to do with. |

Have to agree with Laura... Aussies believe whatever Rupert Murdoch wants them to believe. That's because there is little to no competition in the Aussie media. Opinions are manipulated through outright lies and "guilt by association" tactics. How sad. At least the yanks have enough sense to differentiate between the truth and a media magnate's corporate interests. Good on you Tara Hack, for singing from the heart. Many of us feel the same way, even if some have been bullied into keeping quiet about their opinions on Schapelle's innocence. |

It's a beaautiful song for a beautiful girl. Despite everything else going on, Americans have become increasingly aware and concerned about Schapelle's situation and the fact that she did not receive a fair trial. |

There are some pathetic posters around. They need to get a life. This is obviously a serious song, about an horrific situation, but the meat-heads just don't get it. They are why most sites require registration before posting. To keep them out. Laura makes a sensible point. The government by doing nothing to help her is beginning to drag the country into disrepute internationally. Australians posting abuse in places that Brits, Yanks and everyone else can see are making Australians look like ignorant heartless sheep. They are too stupid to see it though. I agree about the song too. It is touching. |

I don't know how anyone can listen to this song and not be moved. Laugh all you want - it is songs like this that change the world. What Tara Hack has produced is a miracle, and it quickly becoming the official anthem of Schapelle Corby's support movement. Crazy Canuck |

Y'all might think of doin somethin 'bout gettin that white girl back from that Muslim country yerselves. But, you dern't. Y'all is dependant on yer gooberment to protect you. And, it dern't. It dern't protect nothin! 'cept take yer guns away so's you cain't start no trouble in Muslimnesia. Y'all aught to be all hell-fired up over them Muslims kidnappin that white girl from yer country. Y'all should've demanded that yer gooberment storm into that country and lay a heap of whoop-ass on those muslimes. But, you won't. And, yer gooberment ain't gonna do nothin! What White Gall in her right mind would ever go into the Den of Satan. Buyin a aeroplane ticket to Muslime country is like buyin a one way ticket to Hell. |

It's so unfair that a woman who happens to have 4 keys of cannabis in her bag is immediately assumed to be guilty. The Indonesian judges paid no heed to her defence of, "It wasn't mine, it must be someone else's." If Schapelle - poor, sweet, innocent, defenceless Schapelle - had only stood before an Australian judge, there's no way she wouldn't have been exonerated with compensation for false arrest. FREE SCHAPELLE! FREE THE POOR WHITE WOMAN FROM THE SWARTHY BARBARIC HORDE! |

Thank you Tara for the beautiful song. Schapelle did not receive a fair trial. There were numerous breaches in Indonesian Law and Human Rights conventions. Her so called trial was a farce. Even 1 violation is too much. Everyone deserves a fair go. Schapelle should be freed due to the breaches of her rights and everything else should become a mute point. FREE SCHAPELLE CORBY! |

As one of the swarthy and barbaric hordes which Starshark refers to above, I feel compelled to correct his unsubtle suggestion that Ms. Corby's supporters are motivated by racism. This is not a radical new idea, Starshark. The Australian press and those Australian academics who think of themselves as "Indonesianists" (but who, in reality, are merely own property in Indonesian tourist areas) planted the seeds of that false idea long ago but dropped it when they realised their mistake later. Repeated often enough, it became the unthinking Aussie's mantra for all things Corby. Certainly, some of the early supporters were 'good Aussie blokes' (now I'm being sarcastic) whose support was racist in nature, but they were only vocal for five minutes on a few shock jock radio shows and promptly turned their backs on Schapelle when they learned that she had once been married to a Japanese man; that her sister was married to a Balinese man; and their mother had been married to a Tongan. Racists call people like that 'race traitors'. My wife is a race traitor, and so am I. Ever heard of that phrase? The Corbys are not really the kind of family that a true blue Aussie racist would defend - don't you agree? This is where it gets embarrassing for the likes of you because you have failed to notice that the 'racist' tag has been dropped by all good Indonesianists because it creates such a tangle of contradictions. True Indonesianists are, of course, the salt of the Earth. They are much nicer and far more civilised than the average Australian. They build cultural bridges, respect and admire all things Indonesian, and are often married to one - so they must be egalitarians. They grudgingly accepted that the Corbys themselves are as far removed from racism as it is possible to get - and therefore their diehard supporters cannot be racists either. But having planted the seed, they saw the ugly thing grow and didn't want to claim ownership of it so their strategy has evolved into one of silence. They don't talk of Schapelle in their circles. No Sir, Schapelle Corby's supporters are not racists. They are motivated by a sense of justice and fairness. Yes, there were four kilograms of marijuana in her luggage, but that was only prima facie evidence that a crime had been committed. Next, the Indonesian court should have assured that Schapelle Corby's rights as a defendant were honored - but they were not. According to Indonesian law, defendants must be allowed access to the evidence and there is always a hue and cry when they are prevented from mounting a proper defence, let me tell you! Ms Corby repeatedly asked for the marijuana to be tested for origin but the court refused her. That, in my opinion, does not constitute a fair trial, even by Indonesian standards, and yet the Aussie Indonesianists - who know better - ignored those breaches of procedure. Instead of rattling off the sad old mantras of the Australian academic elite, who I suspect you have a forlorn aspiration of one day joining, why don't you stand up and help this wrongfully convicted person? Do you feel that she is unworthy of the standard of justice you would demand for youself? If Australians are so happy to let one of their own be trampled by political expediency and then suffer cruel and relentless attacks engineered by her own people, then what can they expect to teach my country about democracy, human rights and fairness? Those white men are not doing me any favours! And Starshark, if you are the shining face of Aussie egalitarianism and racial equality, then please don't bother on my account. |

LH, moot point please. Not mute point. Some words sound somewhat similar, but they are NOT the same. |
