The accusations where investigated and dismissed by the Queensland police!!!

Roll Eyes

LOL

Just a coincidence then that two weeks before Schappelle is arrested an allegation of drug smuggling to Bali is made against her father?

LOL. you'd be a real dope to believe that.

Corby did it - I have little doubt of that.

The only issue as I see it is that marijuana never killed anybody yet is treated like a drug that does kill.

And no .... I'm not going to 'bump' these clones.

Herb - bump those clones....

Umm - you may recall (I THINK I posted it here before) the story I told (part of one of my books) of meeting up with an Asian heritage drug dealer in a prison.

His story was simple:- "So what? I get two year for sell drugs. Already I own one house and buying one more. My girlfriend stay there and my bills paid while I here. I get out, I do it again, I get caught, maybe five year - still rich when I get out!"

Now - I was appalled. There is no genuine RICO activity here at all - no confiscation of property, unearned cash etc - no genuine punishment where it counts - the hip pocket, and, as many say over and over, the cops are dedicated robbing the pockets of the poor by inflicting massive roadside fine bombing. WTF is going on?

This guy's (he will lead a life where he seldom comes into contact with the aforementioned roadside bombers, so is a 'good citizen' apart from his drug dealing) kids will grow up rich, will become doctors and lawyers and stuff, and will even become politicians and run the show and cop all the privileges - while the average Aussie is reduced - under successive waves of 'affirmative action' etc - to living in the ghettoes they call Houso and begging for a job.

Something is terribly wrong with my country right now - and most of it is caused by either action or inaction at the top.

Correct.

The release has been a political triumph for Abbott. It's quite possible that in his private talks with Jakarta he's told them to stop playing silly-buggers with Corby ~ and release her or forfeit Australia's annual dole cheque.

How come John Howard couldn't get her out? Too soft perhaps?

Some wonder whether humanity would be better off if the whole family were locked up

Their contempt for the rule of law is appalling.

No sympathy for drug smugglers.

If there was a hole in the internal bag and the smell of marijuana was so strong at the customs counter when the boogie board bag was opened (The space bag was still sealed) why didn't the cargo bay of the plane reek of pot???

bags have been known to burst in aeroplane holds (I know from experience, Ovaltine powder over EVERYTHING) ... no one had to PUT the hole in it, it could have simply burst in transit .

Quote:

Questioned by Corby's lawyers, Winata denied that customs officers had slit open the internal drug bag before Corby collected the boogie board. Her lawyers, who inspected the bag, said it had been partly cut open by a blunt instrument, perhaps a key.

When the bags were presented in court, four months after Corby's arrest, the internal bag was instantly noticeable because the bottom was sealed with black tape.

Not burst John....Cut with a blunt instrument, perhaps a key???

Never questioned and never investigated....Why???

Huh

Huh

Firstly, it's a statement by her lawyers ... lawyers are trianed to do and say anything to muddy the waters. As long as it's plausible, no matter how unlikely, they'll throw it out there. Anything to throw doubt on their own clients guilt.

Secondly, I don't know what else she had in the body bag, but isn't it plausible that if she had something in there, it could have poked through and cut the plastic when the baggage handlers were throwing the bags onto the conveyor belt?

'An-g on, Bruvvas! What evidence is there that Uncle To did anything at all? Well - he showed the Indos how our Navy can cut corners into their territory, and made them save face by saying - "Oh, we need to put some of our patrol work in south and east of Indo now - those darned Aussies are intruding into our waters!"

Big face-saver there - no backing down to any requirement to police 0people smuggling - but we 'have' to increase patrols now!

As for Schapelle (sounds like an Aussie cricketer) - where is the evidence of any deal with Oz over this?

If so - wha are they getting in return...

I think I'll fiction it up as 'Aussie spy girl nabbed by Indos to put pressure on Oz' - call it Yellow Corner or something - conspiracy theories galore - Schapelle Spy was involved in the Diana killing and so forth...... big history there..

Great fiction!
