How is she going to fare being in her sister's place, with cameras in every corner waiting for her to appear, or even do some simple shopping

the same way she fared being snapped shopping when she was supposed to be in jail .... Cheesy

So what? prisons the world over have day release programs. We let convicted murderers out to go shopping and to participate in certain recreational activities. Rarely one absconds but most go back before curfew.

Did you get upset when the infamous (never to be released) Murphy boys were spotted at the Blacktown shopping mall?

Happy prisoners are much better for the system.

Well I hope that it won't get her into any trouble, out of her control what they sneakily snap and the bs story they might make up, to which the Indo parole board are closely watching to see if she will be put back into the hell cell again, therein lay the difference.
IMO...I reckon Schapelle should wear a full burka, with just slits at the eyes, and then mesh covering it, that will cheese the papparazzi orf, now wouldn't it Grin

On a darker note...

Didn't the media go into a frenzy...

They were like sharks ripping apart a baby seal... Angry

You couldn't literally see them shaking on adrenalin when she came out the door...

I was hoping one of those guards would pull a gun and start shooting it to see them all scurry off like the rats that they are...

Then they chased them down the roads on motorcycles taking pictures of black windows... it was pathetic... Roll Eyes

Yeas, indeed. They create the drama....and then report the 'media' drama as though they were having an 'out of body' experience. The media report on the 'media circus' as though it happened without their direct involvement!

Makes me puke.

Its like when they go into a war situation to report on the soldiers but hide in some compound talking about themselves and how dangerous it is for them... Roll Eyes

"Cammer Lenz for KRUD News Network, now live from Afghanistan, with our Glowbelle Trotter – Raving Eye International Correspondent. :-

"Yes, Cammera, we're.... taking heavy fire at the moment... there's spilt.. whatever everywhere here...a mortar bomb or a.. roadside bomb... has just gone off... ONLY a kilometre away..... and has shaken the windows of the Kabul Hilton as we watch. Some... have taken cover... in case the windows blow in, and there are.... endless pools of spilt drinks all around us! People are lying under couches and tables, and the waiters are rushing madly around trying to stem the .... terrible haemmoraging of spilt martinis and whiskey... and desperately trying to get everyone back with a coldie in hand. Terrible scenes here, Cammera.. and we await the Five O'clock Follies at Allied Headquarters to tell us all we need to know about this... terrible incident, and the terrible casualties it has caused here!

Back to the News Room.. I'm just having to hold a damp cloth to a weeping table here to stem the flooding fluid - my handkerchief in fact... as good whiskey flows down it... a terrible sight... I may be forced to suck the fluid out!"

**static - white noise (zzzhhhhhh) ...cut out......

"Back at the newsroom...Glowbelle seems to have her hands full there in Afghanistan... we'll renew our live coverage of this latest Taliban outrage as soon as contact is re-established... in the meantime.. we continue our replay of Lays of Our Dives"....

Get ready for The Greatest Show on Earth and if you think you're sick of the name Schapelle Corby get ready for the Media Blitzkreig which will ensure that Schapelle has oodles of money in her pockets for a long, long time to come.

RB, is it her fault that the media have used her name over and over again? The last thing she needs is journalism sensationalism, she is still not free....has to stay in Indo, and has gag orders, or else!
What part of that threat is it hard for the papparazzi to understand?

Her name will be used forever more until the end, same as what happened to Lindy Chamberlain.

We just have to read between the lines, and know that it is not her doing to want any attention as she would be frightened to go back in the hell hole of a slammer.

Just recently, we did witness her sister Mercedes having cameras shoved left right and centre in her face, and she was dignified and tried to get from A to B without saying anything or causing a ruckus.

They feel gagged, they can't say anything, can't make money from it or else, that is what will happen in the next few years.

I don't understand it, she is let out of jail, but why keep her in their country? Why not just deport her back home to her own country?
Something seems amiss there.

That would be a first...... I bet it nearly killed her to STFU.

I reckon they wrote that joke about her ...... the one....

Q. "What do you say to a woman with two black eyes?"

A. "Nothing .... she's already been told twice". Tongue

At least 300 Australians are in jail overseas. Some of them are probably innocent - unlike Corby.

Jock Palfreeman was jailed for helping a gypsy who was being attacked by neo-nazis. Most Australian never heard of him and his 20 year sentence.

IS she allowed to come back to Oz to visit her long lost primary school mates?

I see her sister, the inimitable, Mercedes, has just told her hubby to go row a boat?

I believe he was actually told to row his boat a few months ago.

Since then, he has returned to seek asylum in the arms of the lovely Mercedes.
