@Verity12ful Actually, don't you think it strange that Duff would make such a deal about Michael's other conviction without telling us what it was?

As far as I am concerned it is wrong to leave "the truth" concerning criminal activities up to the media. It is time that we had a full investigation into whether Australians are taking marijuana to Bali for profit and not merely to assume they are without any apparant concern from our Government that these people are ruining Australia's reputation and exporting poison to the people of another country. I think this is serious, don't you?
I think that we have had this devisive case occupying the Australian agenda for long enough. It is time that the smears and innuendo put forward by the media be dealt with as important and that the Australian Government do what they should have done when Schapelle was arrested and make their investigations public. We Corby supporters have begged for investigation and we have been ignored. It is time that the claim that the Corbys are criminal be proven by law enforcement one way or the other.
@TelecasterLPGTop Well, they released three differnt contradictory stories. They could not allow the Australian people to see a thin body board bag in Schapelle's hand when they knew that the Bali court was going to convict her no matter what evidence was produced. That's why Matthew Moore from the Age wrote "Why Aussie Marijuana is a Big hit in Bali" the day before Schapelle's sentence was to be read out. If Australians knew the truth there would be a cold war at least.
@EmmaAwesomeSauce29 It was an easy way to transport drugs around the country. Another way is in the food carts containing dirty dishes etc etc it's so easy as they aren't monitored properly. I know as I worked in the Flight Catering Centre at Mascot.
@TelecasterLPGTop I know the Indonesians planted the drugs to end Howard's interference in Indonesia's domestic activities. The joint task Indonesian/Australian task force to combat transnational crime ended the day Schapelle was arrested. And, the Indonesians didn't hide it either; they wanted Howard to get the message. They refused to analyse the grass. They refused fingerprinting - if Schapelle had been guilty her fingerprints would have been all over it. They knew she was innocent.
New evidence has reportedly emerged in the case of convicted Australian drug smuggler Schapelle Corby, sparking a theory that marijuana found in her luggage may have been planted by a rogue baggage handler.
Almost seven years after the conviction, a woman has come forward saying she believes Corby could have been set up.
The woman, said she dated a Brisbane Airport baggage handler for a short period who had a colleague who in October 2004 went to work with a large bag of marijuana.
@SovereignBeing While I am open to new information, my belief in Schapelle's innocence is based on my certainty that the Indonesian Government deliberately set up a random Australian on a death penalty offence to remind Howard that he was powerless when it came to Indonesia's internal affairs. The Bali Police knew Schapelle was innocent before they had a legitimate reason to suspect it. Had Schapelle been guilty, the evidence they destroyed would have given them a slam dunk conviction.
There has to be a reason why they refused to reweigh Schapelle's luggage and compare that weight to the figure printed on her ticket. The scales were there. Several people asked them to do it so they cannot claim that it didn't occur to them. Even if they thought she could be innocent curiosity would have compelled them to remove the luggage to weigh it secretly. But they just refused and left her luggage in plain sight without even opening the rest of it. They knew she was innocent. How?
@DJWOLFEN01 Hypothetically what if an inside plant at the airport was suppose to remove the said bag after a regular run between Brisbane and Sydney,for some reason he failed to do so and the boogie board bag then continued on its path to Bali.
This would explain the obvious look of shock on her face when confronted with it.
@GOATSNUT The fact that there was enough marijuana in her bag to give her the death penalty explains the shock. In spite of the many stories of Australian airfreight being used to transport marijuana around Australia our seizure and arrest records tell the real story. No such arrests have been made and no commercial amounts of marijuana seized at our airports. This is marijuana and doesn't attract the professional criminals involved in more valuable contraband... (Cont)
...(Cont) Marijuana crimes are not going to encompass the perfect crime and yet that is what the detractors must suggest. No one is importing grass into Australia by air or moving it around Australia by air and no one is taking commercial quantities to Bali to sell. No foreigners are selling it in Bali in competitiion with the Bali Police and when they arrested Schapelle the Bali Police damn well knew it. I know she is innocent because the Bali Police did everything but confess to it.
Earlier this month, Mick Corby's cousin, Allan Trembath, told Lateline on ABC TV that Mick Corby had been involved in trafficking marijuana throughout Queensland for decades and had once offered him $80,000 to accompany him on a drug run to Cape York.
@Caydn Allan Trembath has spent most of his adult life in psychiatric care for Schizophrenia and what angers me is that the ABC knew this when they interviewed him in a hospital in Townsville. He claimed that in 1981 he was offerred $80,000 to accompany Mick on this drug run. According to the Inflation calculator, $80,000 in 1981 would now be worth $198,868 in 2011. So how much grass and what was Mick transporting the grass in to be able to pay that for the company? The Queen Mary?
@Caydn Wow. I'm spreading disinformation and if I dare to dispute the court's findings I must be racist. You, on the other hand, don't appear to know anything about the topic under discussion. So, you must think the Balibo 5 were really caught in the crossfire or that the genocide in East Timor and West Papua was a myth because Indonesia is not a brutal dictatorship that would imprison a random tourist to end Howard;s interference in Indonesian legal matters. Investigate.
@DJWOLFEN01 Change the subject much that happened in the 70s and has nothing to do with her case , do some research on her family and their drug convictions why dont you look up the drug dealer Malcolm McCauley he visted her in jail and has admitted that he used to sell his SA grown marijuana to her father in queensland its in the sydney morning herald
@Caydn Malcolm McCauley met a guy named Dave from Melbourne on his flight to Bali. They both went to a bar in Bali where they met Ros and her husband who were waiting for visiting hours to begin at Kerobokan. They asked Ros if they could meet Schapelle and she said yes and took them and they posed for photos. Dave explained in the Adelaide Advertiser that this was the first time both he and McCauley ever met any of the Corbys and McCauly was paid $60,000 by Channel 7 to change his story.
Yawns I live 5 minutes from where they had their fish and chip shop , and if they so poor how come she went to bali so many times a year you really do undermine your arguement so well
@Caydn Schapelle had only been to Bali once before. How can you be so ignorant? Holidaying in Bali is cheaper than holidaying anywhere in Australia or are you telling me you didn't know that. Schapelle worked at nights after college to save $1200 for her holiday, and that, and a rusted out Toyota student bomb was all she owned. Not once did the media film that car sitting on the Corby's driveway waiting for her return. Why? Because it would dispell the drug trafficker image. Wake up.
@Caydn So, before you continue spreading your ill-informed poison please take the time to not listen to your moron mates but to form your own opinion from the available facts. Australians are not taking marijuana to Bali. They aren't selling it there. The Corbys are a working class family with no wealth and if Schapelle was guilty and the Corbys were drug traffickers why smear them with rumours and hearsay when solid evidence would be do easy to find? Use the brain God gave you.
Corby’s are a sad drug club masquerading as a family. Schapelle & her criminal brother James KISINA took the drugs to Bali to for her sister Mercedes Balinese husband. The body board weighed over twice its weight with a pillow sack of grass inside but she didn’t feel that? Please. Schapelle claimed the bag so James (Drug & house invasion convictions) walks free. The other ½ brother, Clinton Rose is also a habitual criminal. Her lawyer also admitted to fabricating her defense. Corby's are shit!
@BradMilne101 So, you believe that the Balinese people need Australian tourists to supply them in marijuana, do you? When did anyone say that Schapelle failed to notice that something was wrong with her bag? Schapelle claimed the bag because her name tag was attached to it moron or are you content with making stuff up as you go along. The fact that no one else has ever been arrested for importing commercial quantities of marijuana into Indonesia means it doesn't happen.
@Caydn "Indo bush weed" known the world over as "Sumatran Heads" is rather unique. The THC has a high amount of psychodelic cannabinoids and rather than inducing the sedative effects of tiredness, lethargy and the inability to communicate, it induces halucination, hunger, and hilarity and has been called tripping grass. In the 80s the Dutch chose Sumatran Heads for its potency when they engineered the variety called "Skunk".
(cont) However, when Indonesian dope ceased being imported into Australia, the tolerant attitudes toward tourists smoking pot ended and the Bali Police used Indonesian dealers to constantly harass tourists to sell them immature, non-cured rubbish to entrap them. The Balinese and the Westerners living there didn't smoke this 'police dope'. However, the idea that other tourists would go into competition with the police and the Indonesian dealers is laughable. They wouldn't last 5 mins.
@Caydn You are a liar. Do you know how many thousands of people have used the "I know someone who knows the Corbys" lie to give themselves credibility? If so many people knew them as drug traffickers then how come the Corby family live in a housing commissioned duplex and until Schapelle's trial worked in the family fish and chip shop to make ends meet? Where are the money and the assets? Why was the fish and chip shop sold to pay legal costs? I know the Corbys and they are innocent.
@ashnkatt Given the fact that foreigners are not equal before the law, I don't think anyone should be going. Want to hear something funny? In 2004, the year of Schapelle's arrest, Australia gave Indonesia $390 million dollars in foreign aid and a large part of that was earmarked to upgrade their justice system. Guess that didn't happen. The punch line is that Indonesia has far more billionaires than we do.
It would be a shame to have to spend over 35 years in a foreign jail or any jail for something that she innocent of, I do think that Bali set pple up. 2 friends of mine went over to that place, a bali man walked up to them in the airport and gestured for them to hold out their hand my friends husband did and the bali man dropped a bag of pot into it, her husband dropped it straight away. They had their apartment ransacked by the balinese police and they left the country soon after.
the guy that did this couldn't speak English yet he kept holding his hand out in a gesture that this couple do the same, after hearing this I will never go over to bali. Ever.
so true, if the evidence in any other country was contaminated like in the Corbey case it would probably get thrown out of court. Yet in the Video, the Indonesian police are clearly handling everything with their bare hands, interesting how the media never 'crowed' about this fundamental aspect.
@bzylizzy She's innocent because no one takes marijuana to sell in Bali. No one takes $40,000 worth of drugs from a place where they are easy to get rid of with a minimum risk at the maximum price to a place where the most you could get for them is $2000 after spending money to get there and risking death.... they really don't. That is why no one else has ever been arrested importing marijuana into Indonesia. The real question is why did neither governments want to investigate?
@Henrahh How about addressing arguments with argument rather than "I won't even start". Strong Islamic elements within Indonesia are offended by the alcohol and licentiousness of most Western tourism in Bali - Jamaah Islamiah for one. Secondly, had they performed the tests requested by Schapelle, we would know that it was Indonesian marijuana planted on her deliberately to end all political interference by 'Deputy Sheriff Howard' in domestic Indonesian affairs. She is innocent.
hydro in indonesia sells for up to 20,000rupiah. close to $25... buying from an aussie is a trusted source. i dont know what happened in this case but aussies have been known to take items there for sale to other holiday makers. crazy...
Per ounce, articledonz. In Australia, the same amount sells for $400 to $600. The idea that it is not safe for Australians to buy drugs from Indonesian drug dealers but it is safe for Australians to compete with with these same Indonesian drug dealers day after day is laughable. It is possible for some idiots to take their own supplies or to deal off a few grams from this to friends and acquaintances but no one is stealing Indonesia's pie with 9 pounds.
@shelski72 Yes but the outer bag was not sealed and the inner bag had been slashed across its entire width 2/3rds of the way towards the bottom of the bag. This effectively prevented any from falling out into the containing luggage while allowing the smell to escape. Since the only possible reason would be to alert Bali customs, who would do that? Certainly not Schapelle. It wasn't compressed and the zipper was near breaking point. The Bali Police planted it on the tarmac at Bali Airport.
@DJWOLFEN01 Why would they want to instigate this fire storm? Surely, an inside job would damage the image of their being a profitable tourist destination. The part of her story that stumps me is her initially refusing to open the freaking boogie board bag, opening it and immediately reacting the way she did - doesn't sit right at all.
@shelski72 There are strong factions within Indonesia that don't want Bali to be a Western tourist destination and the current tourists aren't big spenders. The popular story concerning Schapelle refusing to open her bag is a lie. Schapelle opened her bag while waiting in the queue, saw the marijuana and panicked. A drug smuggler would know what was in there and would never have opened the bag. She then helped Winata open the bag but her fumbling got in Winata's way. That is the truth.
DJWOLF, you seem to be just babbling on about allegations that you can`t back up. How do you know Schapelle didn`t wear gloves? How do you know it was indonesian dope in the bag? How do you know that no one take marijuana to Bali? How do you know the indonesian CCTV footage would show that Schappelle did not refuse? How do you know what Balinese people have been smoking for the last 100 years? I could go on and on but there`s no room left.
@ManFromMelbourne Any argument over gloves isn't relevant. The Bali Police didn't test for fingerprints. How do I know it was Indonesian grass? The Bali police just didn't refuse testing to determine country of origin, they accused Australia of being a drug exporting nation and then refused to prove it. We don't export drugs ever and if someone claims we do I want to see the proof. If the drugs had come from Australia, the AFP would not be able to tie any criminal activity here to the case.
@DJWOLFEN01 ... So much for their tough stance on drugs. If the drugs came from Australia THEY WOULD BE DEMANDING THEY BE TESTED, not Schapelle. How do I know no one takes marijuana to Bali? Because, you can get as much as $80,000 for 4Kg of marijuana here but little more than $2000 for it in Bali. No Westerner has ever been arrested for distributing marijuana in Bali and no foreign marijuana has ever been seized there. EVER.
@DJWOLFEN01 It didn't make sense for Schapelle to refuse whether she was innocent or guilty. It wasn't relevant. If you don't know that Indonesia is one of the world's seed baskets for marijuana then how is it that you feel qualified to even have an opinion. Do me a favour and find someone you respect and who you think would know. Ask them: does Cannabis grow wild in Bali and in Indonesia as a weed in ditches, in forests or basically everywhere? Then go do some reading on the Corby case.
@DJWOLFEN01 This is the kind of idiot that makes me ashamed to be an Australian. The guy doesn't know anything about the case, he doesn't know anything about the Corbys. Hell, he doesn't even know that the Balinese have been cultivating marijuana for thousands of years... not 100 years and yet he knows Schapelle is guilty and it becomes obvious that someone else is doing his thinking for him.
@condor02000 Ha ha ha ha... She wore gloves and then didn't bother to conceal the drugs... Please, think it through. No one takes marijuana to Bali. That has been proven because the only evidence for it was the marijuana found in Schapelle's luggage and the Indonesian government refused to test that for country of origin. What were they scared of? That everyone would know the marijuana was Indonesian and planted on her in Indonesia?
You go MOM of Schapelle!!! I am behind you 100 percent and believe your loving daughter is innocent and I have written to her and I think you are a great mother!! May Jesus bless you and we will pray for Schapelle and your family, as God can move mountians and He can do anything with faith in Him. Love and Prayers, Cami
brisbane and indonesian is completleydifferent, corby first refused ot let them look at the bag, it shows how unintelligent Austrlaians are if they think she is inocent
@TheGhosthorror No, it shows how unintelligent you are that you would post without knowing the facts. Both Australia and Indonesia had CCTV cameras but the footage from all cameras disappeared. The Indonesian CCTV fotage would have shown that Schapelle did not refuse. How intelligent is someone who believes that a passenger would or could stop customs from searching a bag and a guilty passenger would only look more guilty if they tried. It is the innocent who are confused and stunned.
Anyone who thinks that for the last 10 years, Australian drug dealers are running around Bali selling in competition with the Indonesian dealers without ever being caught is a bit dim. Users talk to dealers and in Bali, dealers talk to the police. What do you think the Balinese people have been smoking for the last 1000 years? Not the rubbish sold to tourists and certainly not anything from Australia. What the Balinese smoke is what Westerners living there smoke.
What I have found is that those who say they believe Schapelle to be guilty fall into two different categories: those who know she is innocent but are working to hide the truth that this was a political crime engineered by elements of the Indonesian government and those who are just too dim to work it out.
@DJWOLFEN01 Iim from holland and i just read her book and was shocked!
Even if she did it, wich in my opinon is not the case, 20years is brutal. Even killers get less punishment in that socalled religieus country. I saw that there is an hbo documentary and a '60 minutes' interview but i cant find that on the internet! Can you please help me to get that footage??? Greetings from holland and lets hope 4 some justice!!
No it wasn't. She hadn't taken possession because she hadn't cleared customs. Schapelle was charged with importation, not possession. According to Indonesian law they had to prove that the drugs were imported and that Schapelle had done so knowingly. What did the evidence show that they so feared? If Schapelle had been guilty, why destroy her fingerprints that would prove their case? Why not re-weigh her luggage to prove their case? Their refusal to test this evidence condemns them.
@DJWOLFEN01 nevermind those idiots! Im from holland and by reading that book alone its obvious that she's not guilty! The investigation was corrupt. Can you help me finding the hbo documentary and the '60 minutes' interview? I would be very thankfull because i want toknow more about this case!! THX!!!
I vet rude idiots every couple of days. I don't mind people having different opinions and I will debate them because I have a lot of knowledge on the topic but there are some real trolls out there who still think toilet jokes are funny.
mabe she would have got off had her family not slammed the Indonesia court system. and gone to the media. personly i dont think she did it, but maybe she did, maybe the family said to much ????
I know she didn't do it because no one takes marijuana to Bali. No Foreign marijuana has ever been found there and no foreign drug dealers have been arrested selling it there. In Australia 4Kg is worth $40,000 - In Indonesia it is worth $2,000. It doesn't happen.
im dont sure if she did it or not, but had her family not jumped on the media banwagon and try to make the Indonesian laws/ppl look bad i'd say she would have not gotten so many years, we all no you can pay your way out of it, but her family started flapping there mouths off to early and to loud, manly her sister,
Her family didn't "Jump on the Media bandwagon" they were media targets. In fact, the media started to arrive within 20 minutes of the marijuana discovery and they didn't let up at all. I'm afraid you have an unrealistic viewpoint of what occurred.
the Indonesian national court is a joke it's a fraudulent institution that's expensive and ultimately very profitable to rank in this system. For example you don't become a judge there on your good merits in every case to become a judge it's blatant corruption. I my case i had to pay the judge via paying the court clerk to receive favourable legal documents. I would not wish anyone to get on the wrong side of any institution. Guilt does not check out in any case it's a fraudulent miss-trial.
the only reason aussies say she didnt do it,is because she is aussie,Im australian,and im very proud to be,But i do think she did it,and was caught,so to get out of it,she blames poor police work,and blames bag handlers in australia,People could have lost there lifes,But i think we should review cctv footage,its here somewhere, google"Prima facie case"
Nonsense. No one takes 144 ounces to smoke on a two week holiday. No one takes marijuana worth $40,000 in Australia to Bali where it is only worth $2000. The idea that Australian drug dealers are running around the Kuta Beach nightspots harrassing tourists under the noses of Indonesian drug dealers and undercover Bali Police without ever being caught is laughable. No foreign marijuana has ever been siezed there and never before had anyone ever tried to import marijuana into Indonesia.
While you may see Schapelle as innocent it is a person living in Langley, Virginia that is ensuring that all Wikia Corby related material is pro-Indonesian. Your own John Ashcroft supressed an FBI report to congress that named Indonesian troops as being responsible for murdering two American aid workers in West Papua. They committed the murders to get the USA to blame West Papuan Separatists and label them terrorists. The decision to paint Indonesia as a democracy was global not Australian.
For the Wikia: look up Schapelle Corby. Then go to the Authors section. See who has done all the amendments. The 'John Ashcroft / 2 American aid workers' reference came from a Washington Post article that I found using Google. I kept a copy but my hard drive died a horrible death. I will have to find it again but in the meantime perhaps you could do it. The cell phone recordings of the Indonesian military were made by ASIO. The FBI went to W.Papua to investigate. Report was suppressed.
I'm sorry but the Corby family went about it the wrong way. They thought if they yelled long & hard & drew heaps off media attention to Shapelle they would get her off. Instead they pissed the Indonesians off & they have made her suffer for it. There have been a few people busted since. They kept there mouths shut & paid the price & are home now. Even Renae Lawrence will serve less time than Shapelle as she has had about 2 yrs taken off her sentence in pardons already.
The media were at Ngurah Rai Airport within 10 mins of the siezure before Merc arrived, before anything was known. This was a set up and part of that set up was to get media exposure. The Corbys didn't go to the media, they were hounded. Renee Lawrence pleaded guilty because she was guilty. The Corbys made a noise as would anyone who was innocent.
It has nothing to do with incompetence. The Bali Police used fingerprinting regularly and they even tried to get Schapelle to handle the plastic to get her fingerprints. How did they know her fingerprints weren't already on the bag? Why did they make the effort to summon a doctor to the airport for a blood test but tell the journalists there that weighing her luggage to determine if she had the drugs in Brisbane was "not necessary"? You can't just gloss this over.
This is what the Corby family have had to endure. Schapelle and Mercedes are ladies in their 30s, not girls. They haven't lived on the Gold Coast for 10 years now so how can they be well known? Prior to working in a fish and chip shop to save for her Bali holiday, looking after her sick father and going to tech college in her rusted out Toyota Schapelle was living in Japan. You don't know them and your moron friends don't know them. You just feel superior spreading lies.
What Guy shows here is that the Australian government conspired to convict someone they knew to be innocent. Had the footage convicted Schapelle they would have had every reason to make it the highest priority and present it to the Indonesian Court. It was shot in 2005 before supporters realised that our government could not present the footage without angering the Bali Police who had planted the marijuana to gain a high profile drugs case.
I am very pleased to see this important and informative video back on YouTube. This video, and it's other half (part 2) are a must see for anyone interested in the fate of the CCTV footage from Brisbane airport, footage which could and would have proven that Schapelle is innocent. Thanks David for getting this video back on line.
The family had a drug history soo wouldn't surprise me if she was guilty but saying that I still feel sorry for her, 20 years is a redicalous punishment

@Caydn Malcolm McCauley met a guy named Dave from Melbourne on his flight to Bali. They both went to a bar in Bali where they met Ros and her husband who were waiting for visiting hours to begin at Kerobokan. They asked Ros if they could meet Schapelle and she said yes and took them and they posed for photos. Dave explained in the Adelaide Advertiser that this was the first time both he and McCauley ever met any of the Corbys and McCauly was paid $60,000 by Channel 7 to change his story.

Yawns I live 5 minutes from where they had their fish and chip shop , and if they so poor how come she went to bali so many times a year you really do undermine your arguement so well
Caydn 8 months ago
@Caydn Schapelle had only been to Bali once before. How can you be so ignorant? Holidaying in Bali is cheaper than holidaying anywhere in Australia or are you telling me you didn't know that. Schapelle worked at nights after college to save $1200 for her holiday, and that, and a rusted out Toyota student bomb was all she owned. Not once did the media film that car sitting on the Corby's driveway waiting for her return. Why? Because it would dispell the drug trafficker image. Wake up.
DJWOLFEN01 8 months ago
@Caydn So, before you continue spreading your ill-informed poison please take the time to not listen to your moron mates but to form your own opinion from the available facts. Australians are not taking marijuana to Bali. They aren't selling it there. The Corbys are a working class family with no wealth and if Schapelle was guilty and the Corbys were drug traffickers why smear them with rumours and hearsay when solid evidence would be do easy to find? Use the brain God gave you.

Corby’s are a sad drug club masquerading as a family. Schapelle & her criminal brother James KISINA took the drugs to Bali to for her sister Mercedes Balinese husband. The body board weighed over twice its weight with a pillow sack of grass inside but she didn’t feel that? Please. Schapelle claimed the bag so James (Drug & house invasion convictions) walks free. The other ½ brother, Clinton Rose is also a habitual criminal. Her lawyer also admitted to fabricating her defense. Corby's are shit!
BradMilne101 11 months ago
@BradMilne101 So, you believe that the Balinese people need Australian tourists to supply them in marijuana, do you? When did anyone say that Schapelle failed to notice that something was wrong with her bag? Schapelle claimed the bag because her name tag was attached to it moron or are you content with making stuff up as you go along. The fact that no one else has ever been arrested for importing commercial quantities of marijuana into Indonesia means it doesn't happen.

@Caydn "Indo bush weed" known the world over as "Sumatran Heads" is rather unique. The THC has a high amount of psychodelic cannabinoids and rather than inducing the sedative effects of tiredness, lethargy and the inability to communicate, it induces halucination, hunger, and hilarity and has been called tripping grass. In the 80s the Dutch chose Sumatran Heads for its potency when they engineered the variety called "Skunk".

(cont) However, when Indonesian dope ceased being imported into Australia, the tolerant attitudes toward tourists smoking pot ended and the Bali Police used Indonesian dealers to constantly harass tourists to sell them immature, non-cured rubbish to entrap them. The Balinese and the Westerners living there didn't smoke this 'police dope'. However, the idea that other tourists would go into competition with the police and the Indonesian dealers is laughable. They wouldn't last 5 mins.

If so many people knew them as drug traffickers then how come the Corby family live in a housing commissioned duplex and until Schapelle's trial worked in the family fish and chip shop to make ends meet? Where are the money and the assets? Why was the fish and chip shop sold to pay legal costs? I know the Corbys and they are innocent.

@ashnkatt Given the fact that foreigners are not equal before the law, I don't think anyone should be going. Want to hear something funny? In 2004, the year of Schapelle's arrest, Australia gave Indonesia $390 million dollars in foreign aid and a large part of that was earmarked to upgrade their justice system. Guess that didn't happen. The punch line is that Indonesia has far more billionaires than we do.

It would be a shame to have to spend over 35 years in a foreign jail or any jail for something that she innocent of, I do think that Bali set pple up. 2 friends of mine went over to that place, a bali man walked up to them in the airport and gestured for them to hold out their hand my friends husband did and the bali man dropped a bag of pot into it, her husband dropped it straight away. They had their apartment ransacked by the balinese police and they left the country soon after.

so true, if the evidence in any other country was contaminated like in the Corbey case it would probably get thrown out of court. Yet in the Video, the Indonesian police are clearly handling everything with their bare hands, interesting how the media never 'crowed' about this fundamental aspect.

@bzylizzy She's innocent because no one takes marijuana to sell in Bali. No one takes $40,000 worth of drugs from a place where they are easy to get rid of with a minimum risk at the maximum price to a place where the most you could get for them is $2000 after spending money to get there and risking death.... they really don't. That is why no one else has ever been arrested importing marijuana into Indonesia. The real question is why did neither governments want to investigate?

@Henrahh How about addressing arguments with argument rather than "I won't even start". Strong Islamic elements within Indonesia are offended by the alcohol and licentiousness of most Western tourism in Bali - Jamaah Islamiah for one. Secondly, had they performed the tests requested by Schapelle, we would know that it was Indonesian marijuana planted on her deliberately to end all political interference by 'Deputy Sheriff Howard' in domestic Indonesian affairs. She is innocent.

hydro in indonesia sells for up to 20,000rupiah. close to $25... buying from an aussie is a trusted source. i dont know what happened in this case but aussies have been known to take items there for sale to other holiday makers. crazy...

Per ounce, articledonz. In Australia, the same amount sells for $400 to $600. The idea that it is not safe for Australians to buy drugs from Indonesian drug dealers but it is safe for Australians to compete with with these same Indonesian drug dealers day after day is laughable. It is possible for some idiots to take their own supplies or to deal off a few grams from this to friends and acquaintances but no one is stealing Indonesia's pie with 9 pounds.

The weed was in a vacuum packed bag man. It's not difficult to vacuum pack that amount and for it to lye flat and not appear bulky.
shelski72 1 year ago
@shelski72 Yes but the outer bag was not sealed and the inner bag had been slashed across its entire width 2/3rds of the way towards the bottom of the bag. This effectively prevented any from falling out into the containing luggage while allowing the smell to escape. Since the only possible reason would be to alert Bali customs, who would do that? Certainly not Schapelle. It wasn't compressed and the zipper was near breaking point. The Bali Police planted it on the tarmac at Bali Airport.
DJWOLFEN01 1 year ago
@DJWOLFEN01 Why would they want to instigate this fire storm? Surely, an inside job would damage the image of their being a profitable tourist destination. The part of her story that stumps me is her initially refusing to open the freaking boogie board bag, opening it and immediately reacting the way she did - doesn't sit right at all.
shelski72 1 year ago
@shelski72 There are strong factions within Indonesia that don't want Bali to be a Western tourist destination and the current tourists aren't big spenders. The popular story concerning Schapelle refusing to open her bag is a lie. Schapelle opened her bag while waiting in the queue, saw the marijuana and panicked. A drug smuggler would know what was in there and would never have opened the bag. She then helped Winata open the bag but her fumbling got in Winata's way. That is the truth.
DJWOLFEN01 1 year ago
DJWOLF, you seem to be just babbling on about allegations that you can`t back up. How do you know Schapelle didn`t wear gloves? How do you know it was indonesian dope in the bag? How do you know that no one take marijuana to Bali? How do you know the indonesian CCTV footage would show that Schappelle did not refuse? How do you know what Balinese people have been smoking for the last 100 years? I could go on and on but there`s no room left.
ManFromMelbourne 2 years ago
@ManFromMelbourne Any argument over gloves isn't relevant. The Bali Police didn't test for fingerprints. How do I know it was Indonesian grass? The Bali police just didn't refuse testing to determine country of origin, they accused Australia of being a drug exporting nation and then refused to prove it. We don't export drugs ever and if someone claims we do I want to see the proof. If the drugs had come from Australia, the AFP would not be able to tie any criminal activity here to the case.
DJWOLFEN01 2 years ago
@DJWOLFEN01 ... So much for their tough stance on drugs. If the drugs came from Australia THEY WOULD BE DEMANDING THEY BE TESTED, not Schapelle. How do I know no one takes marijuana to Bali? Because, you can get as much as $80,000 for 4Kg of marijuana here but little more than $2000 for it in Bali. No Westerner has ever been arrested for distributing marijuana in Bali and no foreign marijuana has ever been seized there. EVER.
DJWOLFEN01 2 years ago
@DJWOLFEN01 It didn't make sense for Schapelle to refuse whether she was innocent or guilty. It wasn't relevant. If you don't know that Indonesia is one of the world's seed baskets for marijuana then how is it that you feel qualified to even have an opinion. Do me a favour and find someone you respect and who you think would know. Ask them: does Cannabis grow wild in Bali and in Indonesia as a weed in ditches, in forests or basically everywhere? Then go do some reading on the Corby case.
DJWOLFEN01 2 years ago
@DJWOLFEN01 This is the kind of idiot that makes me ashamed to be an Australian. The guy doesn't know anything about the case, he doesn't know anything about the Corbys. Hell, he doesn't even know that the Balinese have been cultivating marijuana for thousands of years... not 100 years and yet he knows Schapelle is guilty and it becomes obvious that someone else is doing his thinking for him.

What were they scared of? That everyone would know the marijuana was Indonesian and planted on her in Indonesia?

@TheGhosthorror No, it shows how unintelligent you are that you would post without knowing the facts. Both Australia and Indonesia had CCTV cameras but the footage from all cameras disappeared. The Indonesian CCTV fotage would have shown that Schapelle did not refuse. How intelligent is someone who believes that a passenger would or could stop customs from searching a bag and a guilty passenger would only look more guilty if they tried. It is the innocent who are confused and stunned.
DJWOLFEN01 2 years ago
Anyone who thinks that for the last 10 years, Australian drug dealers are running around Bali selling in competition with the Indonesian dealers without ever being caught is a bit dim. Users talk to dealers and in Bali, dealers talk to the police. What do you think the Balinese people have been smoking for the last 1000 years? Not the rubbish sold to tourists and certainly not anything from Australia. What the Balinese smoke is what Westerners living there smoke.
DJWOLFEN01 2 years ago
What I have found is that those who say they believe Schapelle to be guilty fall into two different categories: those who know she is innocent but are working to hide the truth that this was a political crime engineered by elements of the Indonesian government and those who are just too dim to work it out.

goblinking169 2 years ago
No it wasn't. She hadn't taken possession because she hadn't cleared customs. Schapelle was charged with importation, not possession. According to Indonesian law they had to prove that the drugs were imported and that Schapelle had done so knowingly. What did the evidence show that they so feared? If Schapelle had been guilty, why destroy her fingerprints that would prove their case? Why not re-weigh her luggage to prove their case? Their refusal to test this evidence condemns them.

Her family didn't "Jump on the Media bandwagon" they were media targets. In fact, the media started to arrive within 20 minutes of the marijuana discovery and they didn't let up at all. I'm afraid you have an unrealistic viewpoint of what occurred.

the Indonesian national court is a joke it's a fraudulent institution that's expensive and ultimately very profitable to rank in this system. For example you don't become a judge there on your good merits in every case to become a judge it's blatant corruption. I my case i had to pay the judge via paying the court clerk to receive favourable legal documents. I would not wish anyone to get on the wrong side of any institution. Guilt does not check out in any case it's a fraudulent miss-trial.

Nonsense. No one takes 144 ounces to smoke on a two week holiday. No one takes marijuana worth $40,000 in Australia to Bali where it is only worth $2000. The idea that Australian drug dealers are running around the Kuta Beach nightspots harrassing tourists under the noses of Indonesian drug dealers and undercover Bali Police without ever being caught is laughable. No foreign marijuana has ever been siezed there and never before had anyone ever tried to import marijuana into Indonesia.

While you may see Schapelle as innocent it is a person living in Langley, Virginia that is ensuring that all Wikia Corby related material is pro-Indonesian. Your own John Ashcroft supressed an FBI report to congress that named Indonesian troops as being responsible for murdering two American aid workers in West Papua. They committed the murders to get the USA to blame West Papuan Separatists and label them terrorists. The decision to paint Indonesia as a democracy was global not Australian.

For the Wikia: look up Schapelle Corby. Then go to the Authors section. See who has done all the amendments. The 'John Ashcroft / 2 American aid workers' reference came from a Washington Post article that I found using Google. I kept a copy but my hard drive died a horrible death. I will have to find it again but in the meantime perhaps you could do it. The cell phone recordings of the Indonesian military were made by ASIO. The FBI went to W.Papua to investigate. Report was suppressed.
DJWOLFEN01 2 years ago
I'm sorry but the Corby family went about it the wrong way. They thought if they yelled long & hard & drew heaps off media attention to Shapelle they would get her off. Instead they pissed the Indonesians off & they have made her suffer for it. There have been a few people busted since. They kept there mouths shut & paid the price & are home now. Even Renae Lawrence will serve less time than Shapelle as she has had about 2 yrs taken off her sentence in pardons already.

The media were at Ngurah Rai Airport within 10 mins of the siezure before Merc arrived, before anything was known. This was a set up and part of that set up was to get media exposure.

It has nothing to do with incompetence. The Bali Police used fingerprinting regularly and they even tried to get Schapelle to handle the plastic to get her fingerprints. How did they know her fingerprints weren't already on the bag? Why did they make the effort to summon a doctor to the airport for a blood test but tell the journalists there that weighing her luggage to determine if she had the drugs in Brisbane was "not necessary"? You can't just gloss this over.

What Guy shows here is that the Australian government conspired to convict someone they knew to be innocent. Had the footage convicted Schapelle they would have had every reason to make it the highest priority and present it to the Indonesian Court. It was shot in 2005 before supporters realised that our government could not present the footage without angering the Bali Police who had planted the marijuana to gain a high profile drugs case.
