No one particulary likes the indonesian government - did anyone watch that doco?

corrupt as hell. I think they should get fucked. I think we should use diplomatic force to extridite her this country and tell them to suck it. Because we know spoilt rich sons and daughters of corrupt government officials deal drugs but are all above the law.

But because our own government corrupt too, we aint gunna do shit!

*GASP*

We are all taking risks here, keeping a level head on it all helps the cause.

guns+weed+fastcars give it a bad name and is a convenient picture for prohibition.

Me personaly i dont like to bring attention to myself. Most of are smart enough and knew years ago that everyone we knew was bringing out eccys shoved up there girlfriends pussys. I aways thought they where dickheads and wannabe gansters. 10 years ago i knew it was bullshit travelling to that country where aussies act like dickheads and piss in swimming pools. Even people I know that dont even drink alcohol say

"I feel sorry for her. But, Why the fuck do people keep going there?"

*GASP*

I still have a problem with the fact that mj is worth much less in Bali than it is in Australia, it just seems pointless to be smuggling it into Indonesia at a loss rather than out for a profit.

 

[wildflower]

I have heard it said and I dont know it for fact that hydro marijuana has a big market amongst tourists in Bali simply because Westerners are used to high potentcy stuff and are prepared to pay for it in deference to the locally grown seedy stuff. I havent been to bali for 15 years so I dont know, but it sounds plausible. Corbys sister has a local connection, shes married to a Balinese man.

it also seems plausible to me that the best way to get something through customs is to plant it on someone who doesnt know they are carrying it, therefore they are unable to unitentionally through body language or otherwise look guilty therefore avoinding suspiscion.

Just a theory.

As far as you people advocating blow up all the indos or whatever other racist crap you want to sprout, fuck off to a Klu Klux Klan website will ya.

[everest]

spot on will

 

i reckon the market would be huge for a bag of hydro in Bali ..... kuta beach :smoke the reason there is a market is because the indo's are scared shitless to grow it ..... i couldn't even score weed on bali ... 93 ..... got some on Lombok but that was crap ......

[Chato]

never commented on her innocence or guilt but i've always chuckled when people say she can;t possibly be takin it to Bali cause weed is so cheap there. Top quality bud is the most expensive drug in asia by a long way.....

 

peace

The word i have heard on the grape vine is that she was into selling pounds in oz, and have herad it from a few diffrent placers but it could be all bullshit, the way i look at it if u do the crime u have to be prepaired to do the time if u get done, she did the crime so she had to do the time, but i do think she got a bit to much time, but hay it is there laws and she knew how there laws were befor she went over there...

Man in Corby photos speaks.

 

SCHAPELLE Corby has been cleared of any link to the Adelaide man facing drug charges with whom she was photographed in Bali's Kerobokan Prison.

Breaking his silence to The Advertiser, Malcolm McCauley - the man in a controversial photograph published today in the Adelaide newspaper for the first time - said he had visited Corby twice last year in Bali but only as a tourist offering support during her drugs trial.

 

"A mate and I were in Bali and we thought we'd go have a looksee in court," Mr McCauley said at his Salisbury North home yesterday. "She's high profile and she's an Aussie. That's why we were interested in it.

 

"Her sister and mother came up to us after and thanked us for being there, like they were doing with a lot of groups."

 

Mr McCauley said the first time he met Corby, 28, was at her court hearing in May.

 

He said Corby's mother introduced him to her daughter while she was in the holding cell at the court before inviting him to visit Corby in Kerobokan Prison the following day. "We asked if we could sneak some photos in (while we were there), so we did," Mr McCauley said.

 

"There were four of us including Schapelle's mother and partner and us. But we weren't the only ones. There were other Aussies coming in as well to get photos taken."

 

Mr McCauley said the photos were taken at an empty fish pond at the prison, where they were permitted by prison guards to sit and talk to Corby. Corby, who was sentenced to 20 years' jail in May but had her sentence cut by five years in October, wrote a letter to McCauley's granddaughter thanking her for her support.

 

Mr McCauley, 60, appeared in Elizabeth Magistrates Court charged with taking part in the sale of a controlled substance between November 19 and November 25 last year.

 

Police allegedly found 15kg of cannabis and $60,000 cash during the raid on his home.

 

The discovery of the photographs in the raid castdoubt on Corby's claims during her trial in Bali she had no previous links to drugs.

 

Mr McCauley's version of events backs the story Corby's mother, Rosleigh Rose, gave when news of the photographs first came to light on December 10.

 

Ms Rose told said last night she knew her version of events was right.

 

"It was handled so badly (by police)," said Ms Rose.

 

"It was disgusting - you could tell the photos had been taken at the prison. Once police found out I had the photos, it was all hushed up. It's just made me so cranky. This is just one lie I knew I could stop."

 

Ms Rose arrived in Adelaide on December 15 last year determined to see the photographs but her request was denied by police.

 

Superintendent Neil Smith advised Ms Rose there was no point in her coming to Adelaide. Mick Phelan, national manager for border and international with the Australian Federal Police, said authorities were giving careful consideration to the legal ramifications of Ms Rose's request.

 

"We just can't release that property, even to look at," he said at the time.

 

"The property actually belongs to the person from whom it was seized."

 

After leaving Bali, Mr McCauley said he has had no contact with the family, but was shocked when the photos were seized and allegations of a link between himself and Corby made.

 

He has since had the photos returned to him by police.

This story is an epic. More twists and turns than only God knows what. Could have been bad for her had the guy not set the record straight. Leos like to omit things sometimes to suit there own purposes (like most people I guess). Its just that they do it to get you incarcerated..

Cleared of any link? By who, a career criminal who has just been arrested for possession of huge amounts of cannabis and large amounts of cash in his possession? I dont think so.

And he spilled his guts exclusively to a 2 bit south australian newspaper ?

I have yet to hear anyone of any credibility clear schappelle of this link.

 

but only as a tourist offering support during her drugs trial.

Crap. A man who is dealing in large amounts of drugs, chooses to go to a foreign country where the death penalty is on the table, then travel to a prison where a high profile drug dealer is incarcerated and pose for photos. I have a bit of a problem with this scenario.
