Schapelle Corby
Posted by Jane Cairns at 01:05, 25 Mar 2005Am I the only one to see through this smoke screen that is the trial of Schapelle Corby. The Indonesians want to make an example of a westener whenever they are 'caught' trafficking drugs in their country. Australians are at even more risk of this form of chest beating because of the standover(big brother)tactics from John Howard and his Government towards countries in South East Asia.
BUT a blind man on a galloping horse can see that this girl is the innocent victim of Australia's failure to make it's 'own' country secure from drug trafficking.
John Howard is holding back any assistance for one of its own people in a foreign legal farce and I believe it is because of their own shame in allowing this to happen from Australia's own lack of airport security.
WHY would anybody ship drugs INTO a country that everyone else is trying to take drugs OUT OF???
How blatently stupid would one be to pack a huge bag of 'stuff' into a boogie board when it is so easy to detect and search???
It is obvious that Schapelle is a very intelligent young woman. If she were foolish enough to do this crime, she would have atleast had the brains to hide it a little better than this.
Come on Mr Howard, admit we have problems with our own airport security , help this young woman get the justice she deserves, and ensure that this problem never happens again because you were too proud to say "hey, we stuffed up"
