Good to see that at least one country is consistent in applying sentences. We have different values and therefore laws, the media is about sensationalism and selling advertising.

The difference between Indonesian law and our law is that in Indonesia you have to proove that you are innocent whereas here the prosecution has to proove that you are guilty. Yes she is young pretty and and photogenic and the media know a story when they see one. However that does not make her less tragic.
It will be interesting to see how Howard deals with this.
As for the the other Aussies.............they are dead men.

I have very little sympathy for Miss Corby.
The simple response to the situation, and one that would make Indonesia pay dearly (if that's your thing) would be to completely stop going there as a tourist.
On the flip side as Mangell has already mentioned, It gives me the screaming heebee jeebies to think that sane, sensible people in "western" countries, with a judicial system that at least pays lip service to personal freedom, can think that they can apply their values and expected legal and sentencing outcome in another country. That is called Imperial hubris folks. How long before you all pack the shottie and head to Indonesia to show the "natives" how it's "supposed" to work?
4kg of green packaged the way it was, is just about the same shape and size as a boogie board for goodness sake.
Either don't go there or padlock or cable tie all your zip tabs together.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

AND IF SHE WAS FREED I BET SHED GIVE HIM A SHAG , SHE LOOKS LIKE A GOOD ROOT
One hell of a ride.
Oscar Kightley called out 'Big Dave - I went to Aussie for the weekend eh bro'
'Did you Oscar, would have been good'
'yeah, and did you know for us, on the entry paperwork it has a space for 'Criminal Record'
'Really?'
"Yeah - so i wrote 'Didn't know you still needed one'."
She deserves sympathy Jim - if she is that stupid or is innocent - either way, the punishment does not fit the crime - under any circumstances.

Well.
If your going into another country then you have to obey their laws. She was dumb for not having locked bags. They tell me that you can get your bags security wrapped by flight companies for a few bling. For piece of mind, I'd suggest everyone use that service.
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

Soooooo easy to be wise after the event.If your going into another country then you have to obey their laws. She was dumb for not having locked bags. They tell me that you can get your bags security wrapped by flight companies for a few bling. For piece of mind, I'd suggest everyone use that service.
Sometimes I've locked my bags when traveling but NOT to stop some b'stard putting something in but rather the opposite.
Did Ms Corby actually collect her bag and present it or was the bag singled out and the owner apprehended? Just wondering if she had an opportunity to collect the bag and discover the dope?
Does anyone know of any way of finding out the "supposed" sequence of events.
Irrespective of other countries justice () sytems most people expect to see a fair verdict. Personally I didn't see that in this case based on my assumption that you would have to be exceedingly stupid to take 'expensive' drugs to a country where you can buy them 'cheap' and of course there is that death penalty thing.
I'd like to know more of what went on with her bag.
Scooter boy
Rather than looking at the justice systems of other countries (which are free to implement their laws as they see fit!) why don't we look at our own and why aren't we asking how is it that someone who has blatantly killed another man, and hacked two women's hands off, only receives 20 years!!!!
Bet Corby wishes she had bought that into NZ - she'd get a slap on the wrist.
A single reason why you can do something is worth 100 reasons why you can't.

She was stupid
She was probably a victim of a fucked up Ozzy internal drugs transfer
Its a big bad world out ther4 - be afraid (as the yanks wood have us be)
if she wernt a sexy thing she woodna got harf the covrage!
20 yrs in that shitholeis grossly bad - if she dont get transfered she be dead!
Justice dont exist in the world at large
unless you can prove it.
The thing that sickens me the most, whether she's innocent or guilty, is that I've been brought up, as have most of not all of us here, in countries where conviction can (read should) only be achieved "without reasonable doubt". There is no way on the planet that this was the case here; there were simply far too many loose ends.
The judge even bragged about the fact that he hadn't found anyone not guilty in over 500 hearings. Idiot.
If she is genuinely guilty then she deserves what she gets. I know grass is grass and hardly warrants the same sentence as murder in most 'civilised' countries, but if you enter a country that has such strict laws on drug smuggling then anyone that breaks those laws is a fool IMO.
