Must say I agree with you on supporting any person or country in similiar circumstances.

But what makes my pockets deep and my arms short now as far as Bali and Indonesia is the fact that our Government is being treated very second/third rate.

On the 15th of May, our Prime Minister sent a letter to the Defence team regarding the baggage handlers and their being caught smuggling drugs on the same day that Corby flew from Sydney to Brisbane and then international to Denpasar, Bali.

This letter expressed the concern that, both our Federal Police and our Government had concerns regarding the transportation of drugs internally in Australia. Also this letter covered the fact that a number of domestic/international baggage handlers had been stood down and charged by the Federal Police in Australia regarding transportation of drugs.

All very coincidental. A fact that cast some doubt on the 'onus of prooof' on any drugs found in passengers bags by Police or Customs.

Very hard to prove guilt of any passenger caught with drugs whilst this scam was operating.

Well our friend the Judge in Indonesia stated that the letter from Australia was irrelevant and he put no emphasis on it...

Now when our prime Minister offered 100's of millions of dollars support to the same governement they say his letter as very relevant then..

In Australia we call it a "Kangaroo Court" - your guilty before the court even sits.
Its now very interesting that Corby's mother has come out saying that she was told to be silent and let the court and the judicial system take its course.

She is now screaming very loud that there were a number of witnesses who saw the Boogie Board bag partially open and heard Corby say it was not her plstic bag inside the boogie board cover. These witnesses were not called or permitted to give evidence on her behalf - why not, had the Judge made up his mind before any evidence was given. The Judge has openly said he has tried 500 case and has never found one innocent.... Hell they must have outstanding court Presecutors in Indonesia or just a corrupt legal system.

Corby's mother stated that her daughter has never used drugs and had in no way admitted ownership of the drugs found in her open Boogie board cover. In fact her mother has stated that her daughter constitantly has denied any knowledge of the drugs and had no control over the boogie board whilst boarding and leaving the planes enroute to Bali.

Where too from here for her.

It will unfold soon I guess. We can only guess what will happen.

.. perhaps she wil leave prison in the dark of night also.
