Bernie...Like you I have some questions, but I do suspect this girl is genuine for the reason you noted. That being:

1. Why take 4.1 Kg of marijuana to another Country where hi quality marijuana is freely available on every corner.

2. Why take it when the $ return from selling In Australia far exceeds that she could obtain in Bali.

3. Why just stuff it in a boogie board bag on an international flight when the chances of detection are so much higher.

My greatest concern has to do with parts of the summation from the bench. On more than one occasion the head judge stated that Corby's defence team did not prove who put the stuff in her bag. Are you kidding!!....I thought the defence job was to raise reasonable doubt.

I think what concerns me the most Bernie is that whilst I respect the Australian Government can't interfere in the laws of another Country. I do find our Government to be somewhat negligent in their handling of some matters. For Instance ..

Kelty, our federal police head coathanger is on record as saying that he was unaware of an investigation into baggage handlers at several australian airports. This was during questioning by the media enquiring as to reports from a whistleblower that drugs were being shipped between cities with the co-operation of the baggage handlers.

14 days later several baggage handlers were detained and some arrested.... Where?, at their place of employ, the airports. Airports are federal jurisdiction. So much for Kelty.

Seems the threat to their investigation was more important than this girl suffering in a Bali hell hole.

And...because those baggage handlers have yet to see the inside of a courtroom, the Government would not provide the relevent evidence to the Bali bench.

Makes ya wonder who is important hey?
