    This has been smashed so many times... The value of good aussie dope is high in Bali. The price of crap Bali dope is low... So yes there IS motive.


    Makes ASSUMPTIONS and proves nothing. Is neither a professional report nor an impartial one.

    More of the same. Furthers the tin foil hat crap..Nothing of substance in the fake "reports" to speak of.

    Yep, why should our goverment concern itself with a scumbag drug smuggler? She did a very stupid thing and MUST face the consequences of her actions..

    If she was tried in an Australian court, she would have been freed due to lack of evidence.

    She was found in possesion of the drugs, yes - but possession does not equal smuggling.

    Not the point. She committed the crime in Bali and must face Indo JUSTICE.

    Expert Australian legal opinion says otherwise, Ive showed you this before. Please dont keep repeating previously refuted statements.

    Irrelevant statement, she was charged with importation. Had she been caught on the street with the same amount she would have faced the same or a higher penalty.

    Fail The head of Qantas security in October 2004 was disgraced ex Sydney drug squad detective Alan Conwell. Conwell had close connections with Les Mara, one of the criminals involved in the importation of cocaine smuggled into Sydney airport on the 8th of October 2004.

    What you know about this case you could fit on the back of a postage stamp, yet you put yourself up as some sort of expert that has researched this case.

    People like yourself make me nautious, you are quite prepared to regurgitate vomit that the press have fed you over the past 7 years and present it as fact.

    When did it become ok to kick fellow Australians when they are down?
    We once had the motto "Look after ya own and never turn your back on a mate" You would prefer to stab them in the back.

    It is far easier for you to pigeon hole Schapelle as a dirty little drug smuggler, that way you can rest easy, for if you believe that she is innocent and do nothing, than what sort of weak spined person are you? I know which one you are.

    If you want to feel stupid then now is the time, the 7.30 transcript I provided quotes
    I am using actual fact in successfully refuting all your nonsense claims, that fact alone makes me more knowledgable than you.

    Incorrect, it is you who is regurgitating completely discredited theory from the media.

    Criminals are criminals, I have little sympathy. Those who prey on others for their own benefit deserve none of the benefits of Australian mateship. In actual fact Corby was offered far more from the Australian government than any other Australians apprehended overseas ever have been, the benefit of legal advice from 2 Queens Counsels which she declined.

    No, you dont know me. You cant even imagine to know me or what I am about, and its not me who forced her to import drugs into Indonesia and nor I who participated in the fair trial based on sound legal principles in which she had more than adequate recourse to legal representation and not I who found her guilty.
    Now, what you need to understand is the baggage weigh theory is totally discredited, we do not need the head of QANTAS security to tell us that the weighing of bags at check in is a filter method used to ensure that the bags are below the limit and nothing else. No airline that I am aware of actually assigns a particular weight to a specific piece of luggage, any international traveller should be aware of this.

    I will also state for the record that Alan Conwell took action for defamation against Sydney Morning Herald journalist Kate McClymont regarding these allegations and was successful in his action, although this is irrelevant to the Corby case. Conwell is not "disgraced" as you put it but has actually since been admitted to the bar.

    The price of pot in Australia in 2004 was more than triple what it was worth in Bali at the same time.

    Importation but no evidence she knowingly smuggled drugs. In order to prove she smuggled the drugs, they had to prove she knew the drugs were they. They never proved that.

    The price of pot in Bali at the time FOR AUSSIE DOPE was the same as it was here... Please Mak dont posts "facts" unless they are true...it makes ya look like a dumbass.

    The fact is that in Bali the LOCAL dope is very cheap. But good AUSSIE dope has always sold at a premium there.

    It has been shown many times before that the market for high quality hydroponic pot In Bali is enormous and can command a considerably higher price amongst holidaymakers than it does in Australia. Stop repeating previously discredited statements.

    The website expendable claims a lot of things which when stated here have been readily and easily discredited as fabrication.

    She was never charged with "smuggling", where are you getting your information from?

    Importation and smuggling are the same things, are they not?

    No, they arent. For instance I can smuggle an extra bottle of duty free into Australia but that doesnt make the booze itself illegal. It is an important distinction. Corby was charged with knowingly importing illegal drugs.

    The difference is that they only needed to prove
    a. she was in possession of the drugs and
    b. she knew the drugs were in her possession.
    Just like in an Australian court. Get caught in Australian customs with 4 kgs of dope in your possession and see how the "i didnt know they were there" defence pans out for you.

    They never proved she knew the drugs were there. Assuming she must have known doesn't mean she did know.

    Australian journalists and the media they work for are legally accountable, the website you rely on is not.

    Yes, they did, thats why she is in jail.
    See my previous post. You cannot argue the legalities of this case which were all followed appropriately.
