This Bookie will Accept Bets on
The medja not accurately reporting the verdict on Michelle Corby.
Broadcasters, having advertised real time relay of the delivery of the verdict are doing exactly the opposite. Brief snatches are of a barely audible intepreter.
The Medja have pushed Corby’s side.
The verdict has been handed down. Guilty.
Odds on betting, I’ll ponder them, book not yet open.
Dee has raised something to ponder , in comments below.
The sentence is 20 years. Fuck. Poor girl. It is terrible. I might have seemed callous below, but…and worse, if it is a miscarriage of justice.
The whole bloody point is prohibitionism. Let’s take tobacco, the Oz, in the name of that mystical beast, dah national health has imposed hefty excises, and put tobbaco selling under govt. monopoly, raw tobacco, for example, is stored in building in Qlnd. and it is protected likie Fort bloody Knox. Taken, with spending on police to enforce its tobacco `laws’ we have in effect, stasliand force applied to somethining which is none of the govts business.
What is the real evil of the drugs trade, Prohibitionism which has made the trade highly profitable for: real, vicious criminals, and gangstars and their thugs employed to enforce it.
If she appeals, and loses her appeal, the penalty can be increased!
Meanwhile, to contradict myself, the Indons treat Muslim Islamo massmurdering assholes to a pandy on the bottom with a paddle pop, the Oz govt. sends a couple of billion of `economic aid’ which will line only the pockets of a corrupt govt. and Islamo fascists and, Corby in for 20 years for marijuana. Govts. are a fucking joke.As for the assholes in Indonesia, Aid, fuck Aid, so those louses and their mass murdering Islamo-fascists can live the high life… what a pack of first rate assholes. Mind, that is the lot whom the ALP, through Gareth Evans, handed over the East Timorese to.

God, poor girl. I have a daughter her age, can only imagine how my family would cope with this. She took it well, very dignified, it was her family who freaked out.
I also find it strange that Indonesian law equates narcotics with marijuana. If someone gets 20 years for importing heroin or coke, I have no problem with it - but 20 years for some pot?
And 2 1/2 years for helping to murder hundreds of people whose only ‘crime’ was not to belong to a certain ‘religion’ and to be seen to be having a good time?
Some interesting moral equivalence there!
