Notice these people that are anti Schapelle never have a arguement or give any reasoning as to why she is guilty. "Daaa red it in da payper mus be twue" or they like to insult Schapelle from behind their computers. Real brave to insult someone who cannot defend themselves.

Good. We are all better off without these druggie dimwits.

Wijaja - This may come as news to you, but innocent people are arrested all the time. Basically you're saying that if someone put a bag of mj in one of your possessions when you weren't looking and then are caught with it, you should do the time and shut up about it. FAIR trials normally sort out this kind of thing, but unfortunately Schapelle was not given the benefit of one of those. She was found guilty because she could not prove her innocence. She could not prove her innocence because she was not given the opportunity to do so. DNA testing and fingerprinting that Schapelle requested was denied. The airport "lost" the video footage of her checking in the boogie board bag. The judge she was tried in front of has never acquitted a single defendant. The fact that her bag was unlocked and out of her control for 12 hours and gone through two Australian airports where employees have been arrested for putting drugs in unknowing travelers bags should be reasonable doubt on it's own. Indonesia is supposedly an innocent-until-proven-guilty country, yet the only thing they had was that drugs were found in a bag that was owned by Schapelle. If Indonesia is so serious about stopping drugs why didn't they do anything to determine where the drugs were from? The entire case is a joke!

Because it has no effect on our policies against drug users and pushers. She was caught with drugs and has to pay the penaty.

I am getting a bit confused. John Howard married the devils wife to keep relations with Indonesia tip top.

Is this correct?

Oh boy, I have no idea...

Why is it insane to ask: 1) Why was the bag not fingerprinted and the mj not DNA tested when there was an official request to do so made by the Corby family? 2) Why did all the video footage of Schapelle checking in her luggage in Brisbane suddenly disappear? 3) Why did all the media which had been supportive of Schapelle suddenly do a 180 and start printing innuendo that the family was involved in drug smuggling and then not print corrections when 100% of the accusations prooved untrue (see the police reports). 4) Why is the fact that her unlocked bag was out of her control for 12 hours and handled by who knows how many people not considered reasonable doubt. Especially when Schapelle had no prior involvement with drugs. Now how is it that I am the one considered not sane here?

Are you serious ? Schapelle requested the luggage of all four passengers to be weighed together ,as her boogie board was not weighed individually by Qantas. She had a collective weight only on her ticket . DENIED. even though all the other baggage was still together and intact. Sh quested the police to stop handling the bag containing the marijuana to preserve evidence DENIED. She requested the bag be finger printed. DENIED She requested the marijuana be DNA tested. DENIED She requested the cctv footage from Denpasar airport. DENIED Why would the Bali police refuse ? Surely any of these would strengthen their case against her. The Bali police had their patsy and they were not going to collect evidence that would prove otherwise. Can you please tell me why Schapelle would request the AFP get cctv surveilence footage from the Qantas check in at Brisbane airport ? If one frame showed a pregnant boogie board bag ,it would have been positive proof of her guilt. How was she to know that every cctv was switched off ? Guilty people do not request evidence that could get them executed. To Mr Jansen Do you really think the Australian Government would not sacrifice one person to preserve relations with Indonesia? If the marijuana was planted in Bali every piece of the puzzle fits. Not even your most hardened traveller would visit a country with the death penalty ,that plants drugs on its tourists. Why was there no investigation from our police to find out where the marijuana was grown ? Why wouldn't they at least search Schapelle's car or home ? Why weren't her family and friends interviewed ? Surely the police would want to arrest the culprits that so sullied our good name. This put Australia in league with other drug yielding countries like Thailand and Columbia. Answer the AFP knew the truth. Keelty said it himself when queried why the AFP had not investigated. "WE ARE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF CLEARING PEOPLE" All this is documented on the net. If anyone wants to do the research.

Why on earth would there be a conspiracy to keep Corby in jail? What possible advantage could the Australian Government and media gain from it?

You lot are like the tinfoil hat wearing UFO brigade. Next you will be telling us that 9/11 is involved in all this...

Yours in sanity,

Mr Jansen

Just a man who wants the truth.

And it seems to me obvious that the truth is she was smuggling drugs for her own gain and/or personal use. The law is very clear about that. Now you might quibble about the severity of the sentence, but when it comes to the process of the law there is no doubt. It was a transparent process. And the guilty have to be punished.

Can we have the Man'o'Steel John Howard for a few years?

Great vid. I wonder if all the Corby haters are cowering in fear now.

I hope this video will highlight the Australian Governments attempt to quash support for Schapelle . The former Prime Minister John Howard lied to the Australian public . When he was interviewed on national television after a white powder was sent to the Indonesian Embassey in Canberra. He stated as fact " the initial tests show the powder is a type of bacillus bacteria , the same family as the anthrax bacteria". He added further 'It's an act of reckless indifference to human life" and went on to apologise to the Indonesians. The white powder was talcum powder.The AFP were aware of this almost immediatly! This was confirmed later and yet the AFP went about the charade of wearing contamination suits for the cameras. This had to be designed to stop support for Schapelle. From 9/11 until the " talcum powder attack" there had been 360 such instances of suspicious white powder sent in the post. Not one of the previous 360 had been labeled as a terrorism attack. Since that day the Australian media have launched the most vicious attack on the Corby Family. Schapelle needs international support, it will not come from our government or media.

Great video. It gave me chills down my spine. I read that people can still submit their photos to the schapelle.net website and they will be added to the website. Will have to send one in.

Imitation is...

Awesome as in the video and the quick report. I went to their site and it is hot out today.

This is bound to throw a few wobblers. I bet the likes of SMH and the rest of the smear crew never saw this one coming.

Bloody fair dinkum all round.

I just hope that people are starting to see what has gone down, and get this poor poor girl out of there.

Could be a reasonable solution.

Nuke Indonesia?

That little whore is giltier than sin.

Don't know a dern think y'all's talking about. I'm sure it's just code for "Bend over and git Reamed by Satan".

"... o­nce the dust has settled down..." ??? Max, too many spritzers! The dust is just beginning to rise!

Ergo the tag: suckhole of... steel?

Let's go with this:-
The illusion of progress has a slow, heavy tread, characterized by the noxious choking fog of capitalism.
The vacuous crowd will be noticed withering under the immortal subconscious truth, which on being opened, was found to contain a contract with Satan.

Smother me in anchovy paste

This has anwered a lot of questions that have tormented me for a very long time. I was always a bit worried about "The Great Australian Dream" myself. The "harmful ultraviolet radiation" information was especially helpful.

East Fish oil might help with hinges... or maybe ginko

Don't you get it ? There is no Corby Mafia. Do you seriously believe the Queensland Police are that incomperdent ? Answer this one sceptics... If Schapelle is guilty , why would she ask for the cctv surveilence footage from Brisbane airport at the time she checked her luggage? If one single frame came to light showing a pregnant BB bag it would have been positive proof of her guilt. She knew any footage would clear her. How was she to know that every single cctv camera was turned off ?

She got busted because with this run the Corby mafia were trying to cut out some Bali copper middlemen.

Hey folks, drugs is a nasty business. Even if all you do is puff on a joint once in a while, you are as much part of it as a Mafia hitman.

And sometimes the big cosmic roundabout will pick you up and dump you right where you deserve to be.

Drug users are Satan's Whores. Drug dealers are Satan's Mules. Drugs are Satan's tool.

Do drugs - die.
Sell drugs - die.
Make drugs - die. And all be damned to hell.

If Corby shipped kgs of dope to bali. Then can you explaine why the Bali police refused to allow the cannibis to be tested for origin and why they refused to finger print the plastic? Oh thats right she was caught red handed. Sorry but it doesn't work that way in any legal system. Even in Indonesia.

so if you owe me give me it back

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

Love your username, "Voice of Reason". Is that some sort of joke? You truly believe there is a QLD mafia shipping drugs to Bali? Why don't the police care? Why did they clear the Corbys of any involvement in the drug trade? It's all too confusing isn't it? Did you ever stop and think that maybe the media lied to you?

Maybe she is a bad girl. Maybe not. Let the poor bitch go free. John Howard is a far worse miscreant - dangerous too.

Because Corby and her Qld mafia used to ship kgs of the stuff there. And so now we should shed tears because one of them finally got busted?
Play with the devil - you eventually will get stuck on his horns!

I am still waiting for someone to explain how you get 4 kg of marijuana past airport security with no attempt at concealment in the middle of a terrorism alert. Or why you would take it to a country where it is cheaper in the first place. The charges against Ms. Corby make no sense, and never will. Crazy Canuck

What of the evidence I ask. Is it not central to the act, the aforementioned crime? If they cannot produce it, demonstrate it's veracity, then I say a grave miscarrage of justice has been done.

Justice Breanna

Locked up with all those other evil prisoners. and the vicious guards.

Who knows what dreadful things they would get up to!

I would like to know...;)

Yours in a fruity tingle,

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.

FlimFlamMan you are deluded. We are not guilty of Smear and innuendo as you like to put it. We are more about exposing the REAL truth about Schapelles case. By the way I prefer to refer to Schapelle Corby as WRONGLY or UNJUSTLY Convicted drug smuggler. Because the investigation was only 50% complete. The Head of the Bali police even admitted that. The trial itself was a total sham.

FlimFlam, what an appallingly patronizing tone you take! You casually label a group with human rights concerns as merely a "fan club" and their attempts to right an injustice as "innuendo and smear"? What a twisted and rotten way you have of seeing genuinely good people. I applaud their efforts and they can consider me a new recruit to this worthwhile cause. If Australians are unable to see that this is a widespread and co-ordinated smear campaign against Schapelle Corby and her family then they must be deaf, dumb and blind. The item published above is a brilliantly scathing and accurate criticism of the loathsome Australian media. Keep trying to defend your pals, FlimFlam. The harder you try the more the ugliness will come to the surface. Australians might be indifferent to the idea of fair trials for their citizens, but I can assure you the rest of the world finds this saga a real eye-opener about the legendary Aussie "fair go".

It appears the Schapelle fanclub is guilty of the innuendo and smear as well...

About time media journalists get their act together and start reporting with integrity rather than worrying about their weekly or monthly pay cheques. Shame on most of them.

Lol, you must've been a fly on the wall because that's probably how it went down. I'd much prefer they refer to her as "accused" drug smuggler because a real conviction can only come out of a real trial. God help the Aussie population... naive victims of propaganda.

It is high time the public cottoned on to this. It has been going on for years. Story after story with no substance, just written to create doubt about her. The only mercy is that Schapelle corby herself cannot read them. Those at SMH, ABC and all the others, who have been doing this to her, are a disgrace to the country and are now obviously bringing international shame on the country. This is a great news story because it shows exactly how it is done and how gullible the public are. Well done to the email writer and well done to Xenox for unearthing it. Poor Schapelle Corby would have been brought home years ago if the media had been ethical and truthful.

Free Schapelle!

Baz Luhrman should have made that, not that Australia rubbish.

Love your song Tara keep singing it every where you go the more that hear about the injustice case of Schapelle Corby the better

A powerful grip of the essentials, and a strong stroke typified the Howard years of exciting, loyal service to Israeli and international billionaires. The little Aussie suckhole may have lost his teeth, but he could still give you a nasty suck!

By the heinous and evil attack in Mumbai. Will Obama take the fight to the Islamofascists, or will he cut and run and retreat back to the US? Hoping that somehow he and his country can avoid this fight.

Now, more than ever, we need the type of strong and resolute leadership that President Bush and PMs Howard and Blair gave the world. PM Rudd has shown he has no backbone, will Obama be the same?

God bless,

Patriot

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!

The Opposition have no credibility left. Like Bush's govt they are rotten to the core and devoid of ideas beyond their standard old scare tactics. Good riddance to them!
