Newman seeks to prevent Schapelle's paid interview

Quote:

Queensland Premier Campbell Newman has also warned that his government would seek to prevent Corby from profiting from her situation.

Newman said he would be asking his Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie if payments to Corby could be stopped under Queensland’s proceeds of crime laws.

“I am deeply concerned, in fact I am dismayed, that a convicted drug criminal has benefited it appears from her criminal activity,’’ Mr Newman told reporters in Brisbane today.

Mr Newman said he respected Indonesia’s justice system and its decision to convict Corby.

“I just think we need to recognise there was a trial in Indonesia, she was appropriately convicted, she went to jail and now it appears she’s benefiting from this act and I don’t think it’s very satisfactory.

“So we will look and see whether that Queensland legislation has any application.’’

Good on you Mr Newman.

If by accepting money, Corby breaks the law, then that is a matter for the police, not that little Napoleon.

Sometimes the police just need a little push in the right direction. Wink

If the media want her to tell her story why shouldn't she get paid.....This is further persecution of Shapelle Corby after having served her time.....Let her live the rest of her life without the petty vindictive crap!!!
