Schapelle Corby...You're Opinion...Your Belifes

[Kalaspia-Shimarata]

I'm sure every single Australian knows who Schapelle Corby is (and probably sick of hearing about her), but for those (lucky) forigners and those Aussies who don't (I doubt you exist but anyway), she was a women who caught smuggling drugs into Bali in 2005, was taken to court and foundn guilty and locked up in an infamous Indonessian prison for 20 years with 9 or so other women
there was a huge media scandal with all the Aussies saying that she was innocent, then more and more Aussies started thinking she was guilty, then then the media slowly stops talking about her and everyone eventually forgets about her, until the media occasionally opens up the story for updates and telling us about her poor mental health which is worsening and how she is (how I interprited it anyway) attempting suicide.
Anyway, there was an interview with her sister last land and I thought I would start a thread about her.
I think either she is guilty or someone in her family is guilty.
Now keeping in mind I HATE Indonesia and I think drugs should be LEGAL, If she is innocent, let her free. If she is guilty, she can rot in there for all I care. I don't know why where wasting our taxes and sovereignty and making seals with Indonessia (such as take in more assylum seekers) for her. If someone were to come out here as a tourist break a law of nation that is legal in their nation, we should have the right to punish them here and Indonessia should have the same right. Where do you stand with this issue? Discuss

Guilty. The Indonesians seem to be giving into Australian pressure too easily.

[Meowfoundland]

She did it. For once, we're in almost total agreement (with that). I wasn't even sure there was doubt.

I do, however, think there wasn't a deal. Just because two things happened at around the same time doesn't mean they were related. Making seals with Indonesia is awesome though and should be encouraged.

[Radiatia]

I don't know. She probably did do it. Or maybe she didn't.
Who cares?

Let's be honest here: the only reason she's featured in the media (and that people like me pay attention) is because she has boobs.

If she didn't no one would give two shits about her....

[The Murry]

I think she is as guilty as sin, and she should get what she deserves

[Simon Cowell of the RR]

I think she is as guilty as sin, and she should get what she deserves

And if you were caught committing a similar crime? What would you want for yourself?

[Trabzon]

To be innocent until proven otherwise?

Hey, they cared slightly about the other bogans getting sent to jail for drug smuggling, and some of them were men.

It's obvious the CIA set her up with the drugs, anyway. Australians can't do anything wrong.

[Disserbia]

She's guilty but drugs should be legal. I don't know about this deal that Australia has with Indonesia...it could be real or coincidence and conspiracy.

Wait, what?

What has Indonesia ever done to you, to earn your hate?

I think it is sad that a legal immigrant like yourself objects to asylum seekers. I also have to wonder where you're getting your information.

There was a vague claim by an Indonesian official that the reduction of Corby's sentence on appeal was a trade for Australia releasing Indonesian children held in Australia as people smugglers (allegedly they were crew on refugee boats but Australia has said all along that if they were found to be under the legal age of responsibility they would be released). This was denied by Australia's Foreign Minister (the new one) in no uncertain terms. He said something like "if our decision, which we were always going to make, influenced the Indonesian courts to leniency then I'm OK with that, but there WAS NO DEAL".

How you got that mixed up with "taking more assylum seekers" I have no idea. Perhaps you should get your news by reading a newspaper, instead of watching current affairs shows?

1.I am not an immigrant. I was BORN HERE
2.So what, we're going to let people who we have no records about free into a Australian society because they claim to be fleeing their country
3.NEITHER Corby NOR the Assylum seekers should be released

You're a racist. I wash my hands of you.

Is there any reason for this? Or is it just the traditional "they're Muslim darkies" thing again?

[Central Lothian]

I don't know why where wasting our taxes and sovereignty and making seals with Indonessia

What's wrong with making seals?

[Terruana]

IMO, Indonesia has a horrifically backwards legal system, and I would fully support any efforts by any country to get any of its citizens extradited back to whatever country they live in. Of course, if they're accused of a crime they should still stand trial in their home country.

[The Blaatschapen]

I don't know her case. However, if she has broken the law of Indonesia then she's guilty and should serve her time there. She should have known about the risks before breaking the law in a foreign country.

[Tmutarakhan]

Wait, what?

How about: with something that Indonesia has done, to earn your hate?

[Cetacea]

She use to be a bit of all right in the looks department, with a nice set of boobs and all, but the most recent pics of her on Yahoo-Oz showed her with the wild scary crazy eyes

so nah time in an Indonesian prison hasn't been kind to her, but then perhaps it will prove a good deterrent to other would be drug smugglers who want to flout Indonesia law and think those cheekie darkies can't touch the good white

[Forsher]

There are more interesting and more believable people.

Like I said, where do you want me to start? Indonesia has to be one of the worst neighbours any nation could have and the list of things they have done to earn our hatred is very, very long.

Let's first begin with their refusal to apply effort in tracking and eliminating muslim extremist terrorists who target westerners in their nation. Perhaps one could also consider they don't care about people smugglers operating in their nation and have done nothing to stem the flow of human trafficking, consented or not. Indonesia has shot our journalists and peacekeepers, supplied rebels and funded conflicts where Australia has been assigned to keep the peace, illegally invaded East Timor in the 70's, turned a blind eye to anti-western violence in tourist hotspots, and that's really just the start of the list. We owe them absolutely nothing.

[Lahuland]

I'm Indonesian. I think the Indonesian government is trying to approach western countries, including Australia and the United States. Indonesians have been disappointed by their "Muslim brothers", such as Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. Several Indonesians working in Saudi and Malaysia were died mysteriously, persecuted, and killed. Meanwhile, Muslim fundamentalists in Indonesia often obstruct Indonesian progression in the name of morality. Noordin M. Top and Azhari, the influenced leaders of Jamaah Islamiyah who bombed Bali were from Malaysia. They're regarded as terrorists in Indonesia, but they're regarded as heroes or shuhada in Malaysia.

In the case of Corby, I think she was guilty according to Indonesian laws. Drugs are illegal there. But, 5 years remission for her is fine. So, Indonesian fishermen captured in Australia also get remission. Indonesian media and oppositions often criticize this policy. They say "it's not fair." But, well-behaved prisoners in Indonesia also get remission every Eid- al Fitr (for Muslim prisoners) and Christmas (for Christian prisoners). So, what's wrong?

That's all my opinion.

[Individual Impersonators]

And its not just boobs. A few of thoes men had man boobs. It needs to be girl boobs with tales of beauty school.
I could not care less if/when she comes home. In the mean time I still have a friend in outer brisbane whom told me that if you want drugs, "go to the corby's"
The only thing I am sad about is that Australian drug laws are softer than Indonesias. And if you do not like foreign laws, I have an incredible solution. Do not go to thoes countries.

[Darussalam]

I'm Indonesian, and, about the girl named "Corby", I do not know why it's really fuss. She carrying drugs, and drugs illegal in this country. Yes, probably pro-drug activists will shout to legalize "delicious sin" is, but it will not change the law in Indonesia, and, believe me, there is no pro-drug activists in Indonesia. At least, they are not foolish enough to shout to let sin.
And I heard the woman had received a five-year remission. Yes, correct. Of course, if not, the whole pro-drug activists to boycott Bali. I understand the mindset of the government, really. It is difficult to imprison Australian women, home of the biggest tourists who visit our country.
Well, if U hate a nation because their law, DON'T BREAK IT. You break it, the law will be enforced more stronger than before. We have anti-drugs activist here, not only sin and hedonic lovers.

[Khadgar]

Isn't she the woman who claimed she didn't know how 8 kilos got put in her bag? I mean, if one of my bags mysteriously became 20lbs heavier, I think I'd notice.
