now due to the situation of one of our fellow aussie facing life imprisonment in a 'not so cushy' third world detention we have somehow overlooked a few obvious factors.

australia has relaxed our laws for mariuanna over the last 10 years. if you got caught with a bag of dope like that on home soil there would be heafty fines, good behaviour bonds and a slim chance of imprisonment pending on your past criminal history.

1. with a name like shappelle, i think she has been a passive smoker since she was a wee lass.

2.your sister runs an exclusive 'warung/surf camp' in one of the worlds finest paradises where the european clientelle are quite willing to top dollar for some decent weed to take on the surf boat charters out to the reefs. further more eradicating the risks of being set up by the many undercover cops offering drugs along the popular beach fronts.

3.most australians have spent some amount of time in asia and the loose ones who have experienced the local dope can quickly tell you they have no knowledge about manicuring and storage proccess....etc
mixed with the harsh cheap asian tobaccos. we all know what a throat retching experience this can be making your holiday spliffs far and few between.

4. her father looks like a well oiled bikey and the family resides in queensland where most of australias decent weed is grown in the much abundant sunshine.

so ive come to the minority conclusion that shappelle corby is not innocent but just a silly girl who never quite thought through the consiquences of her regular drug run to bali. i feel really sorry for her but it wouldnt have even made the news if it had happened in australia.

if she gets imprisoned in indonisia its more likely she will pay her way out in a couple of years anyway.

and never again will she jeopardize her freedom. big lesson for us all.
