The exception that she is also beautiful, single, buxom and female.
What would happen with the Australian media if a beautiful buxom Indonesian female arrives at Brisbane via Sydney with drugs and says that it was not hers and planted.
Remember the Chinese swimmers whom the media plastered the headlines that they brought in illegal steriod drugs and the matter was cleared by the sporting authorities. Just how quiet the Australian media was after the incident.
My indifference is that she is a stupid person. There is a belief that she is niave but she has travelled a few times and should have known not to mention that she is 27-years old not 27-months so treat her as an adult not like a child.
She could have been as stupid as an unexpected Australian traveller that steps outside of Changi airport and gets run over by a local car because they are not as careful as back in Australia and the local laws does not always protect the pedestrians. A number of times my wife used to grab me when I first walked a across the street at Singapore (that was a while ago). I had forgotten the local laws sometimes and if I got hit, it would have been my fault. You live and learn.
The fact is that some coward is sitting back watching the events unfold about his or her right-off package getting some potential innocent person into trouble. Where is this person to "take it like a man and cop it on the chin" to own up and take the responsibility.
Have to agree that the letter was as useless as breasts on a bull.
It wasn't the letter I am talking about but the prisoner sent to Bali and his statements were as useless as the prime minister's letter. All this gives the appearence of how bad Corby's defence has and the judge is reluctantly willing to allow evidence into the closing stages of the court where in ustralia that could wait for the appeal. Indonesian courts have appeal courts too.
That is the matter of the politicians.
I have suggested that you can go to the politicians and state your case to legalise sugar with control measures. This has been going for decades and you are more than welcome to put your case forward to the committee.
Afterall this is a deomocracy where every citizen has a right decide how these events will happen in votes. Back in 1999, I voted for the republic and that was knocked back. I could whinge about it but the decision was made. Also I wanted a Victorian Liberal government when we have Labor. The people voted and that is that and will have to wait until 2006. The point is that despite what we believe in, you must respect that right for or against.
Clbuttic examples for changes in Australia's laws where woman had equal rights as men. Gays are also gaining rights and they all started from a small bunch of people who has the ability to see through the politicians. Now you see people had their views changed.
By purchasing something illegal is not going to change the law but most likely to go the adverse. In Victoria, there are stupid road laws that gives many freeways only a 100 KPH limit. I like to use the laws of other states and go 110 KPH but this protest will be futile as that I will pay many fines and end up losing my license. Protesting by doing the exact opposite just will provide ammunition the those against sugar usage.
The only way to get support though small groups, talk back et al.
What miscarriage of justice?
The evidence speaks for themselves and you have agreed previously that not everything from Australia can be considered as first rate evidence.
Playing the devil's advocate -- There is a good possibility that the drugs were brought in by a friend of Schapelle in order to sell them in Bali being that Aussie sugar is largely better than the local stuff.
Most travellers to Bali goes there for one of the three:
Partying, drugs, cheap stuff
If you could sell Aussie cannabis there for a good price, you could pay for the trip and maybe that car you have always wanted.
I did say "maybe" and possibly you are taking this a little too seriously. Chill out a little bit ;-)
