Absolutely not. I never suggested they should. Nor am I even saying that Corby is innocent. I simply don't know and nor do you. I was asking you, given your apparent readiness to let her rot in an Indonesian jail for a crime she has denied pbuttionately, whether *any person* should suffer that punishment for naivety.
It may be, but I didn't say that or imply it.
Again, it may be the truth that Howard thinks we have a right to interfere in Southeast Asian affairs, but it doesn't explain your apparent indifference to the plight of Corby. But you don't hear people trying to defend the other Australians charged with smuggling drugs, do you? This case is different, but it is now in the political arena and she will undoubtedly get convicted because it will be loss of face for the Indonesian system to do otherwise.
Run that by me again? It doesn't make sense.
Probably, but Howard with his useless letter to the Indonesian courts did make it clear that he did not want to be seen to be doing that.
Yes. So make bloody grbutt legal and regulate it, and illegal trafficking in that substance is finished. In this country anyway.
So what should they do if they feel strongly that a gross miscarriage of justice is about to occur?
I've never met anyone who was so happy to kill people more or less indiscriminantly as you are. These poor sods are in fact trying to make a living; not that I approve of their fishing in Australian waters. I can imagine, with your draconian suggestion, a fishing vessel being blown off course in a storm, into Australian waters, and its occupants being hung for it!!!
