The Schapelle Corby case is one that promises to hog the news for the foreseeable future. An article I read in the Border Mail offers the latest developments. Lawyers representing accused Australian drug-trafficker Schapelle Corby have claimed that the Australian Federal Police has shown a bewildering lack of co-operation may have condemned the former beauty student to 27 years in a Bali jail. The lawyers had a hard time getting the Australian government to admit there might be link between events in and around the Sydney airport and this case.
If this is part of a major set-up the manure is about to hit the fan. More likely is a guilty verdict with the young lady being able to serve part of her sentence back in Australia. I fully expect a lot of people to buy-into this case on an emotional level and completely ignore the most likely scenario. Looking around online there are sites supporting Schappelle.
If you want to offer your thoughts, advice, wishes please post them on Baliblog.

the thing that worries me is the small mindedness of the people that are boycotting Indonesia. i realise we all have an oppinion on this and mine is quite obviosly being that we still should holiday there and enjoy the beauty of the place and even more beautiful people. To the people who are only now boycotting indonesia, perhaps you should have felt stronger about this after so many people were killed and injured in the
bali bombing, instead of singling out a girl who could be innocent or perhaps could be very guilty.
I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.
i bielieve that schapelle should not be in jail there is no real evidence that she did it. i may only be a 14 year old but that does not mean my opinion doesnt count . my whole family is outraged by this whole thing, we all believe she is innocent and im sure so does the rest of australia
i think that schapelle should not be in that jail the people in bali should realy think about this and let her come home and stop being stupid.WARNING don’t ever go to bali but please let her go home how would you like to not see your family maybe we should put you in her state you would last 2 second so use your brain if you have 1 and realy think . duh duh
Bali is a very safe place; crime levels are low:
so there is no reason not to go there.
But if you are stupid enough to try to bring 4kg of grass in through the airport, then you might find your holiday extended (by around 20 years or so).
Just stay away from drugs!
Im reading her book now… it really saddens me to read what kind of crap she is having to go through NO human being should be treated the way she is.. i have to admit prior to reading her book and not knowing all the facts and information i thought man how silly can this girl be, but i now know that she is INNOCENT.. no doubt about it.. 100% all the way..
what pisses me off more is that NO-ONE (authorities) is helping her, they are simply fobing her off, and it is truely unfair, she did’nt commit the crime , therefore she shouldnt be doing the time… shame on you mr.prime minister, SHAME ON YOU… aswell as QANTAS…
indcoup, i think you are being very narrow minded and compleatly missing the point! She liked bali, why else would she holliday ther you fool? Why on earth would she try to smuggle 4kg of drugs thru 2 major, high security, australian airports…. its just plain stupid!! I think the indonesians have every right to punish ppl their way in their country but no body has the right to treat another human like that! With out sounding racist, are you Australian? Because maybe this poor girl would have be better off murdering 200 ppl atleast its a leaner sentance!!! How would you feel if this was ur brother or sister or mother or father? Think about that before writting ur nonsence crap!!!!
