sceadugenga Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Most Australians think Schapelle Corby guilty Only one in five Australians has a positive opinion of Schapelle Corby, and only 19 per cent think her innocent of drug trafficking. The opinion poll, by UMR Research, shows 56 per cent have a negative opinion of Ms Corby and 47 per cent think her guilty. The survey of almost 1000 adults took place just before and after Ms Corby's February 10 release from Bali's Kerobokan Prison. Younger Australians, aged 18-29 years, are more supportive of Ms Corby, with 28 per cent having a positive opinion compared to 20 per cent overall. Older Australians, aged 50-69, are more likely to have a negative view - 61 per cent. More men (60 per cent) have a negative view of Ms Corby than women (52 per cent). Advertisement Only 19 per cent of Australians think Ms Corby innocent - with women (21 per cent) slightly more inclined to think this than men (17 per cent). Forty-eight per cent of people surveyed supported Ms Corby's release on parole, while 30 per cent were opposed.

Read, "it's harder to pull the wool over the eyes of the experienced" Funny, they didn't mention anything about the percentage of ppl that couldn't give a rats arse about the matter. Statistics are great, you can make them tell almost any story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Artha says Wayan, the husband of Corby's sister Mercedes, gave him a letter requesting permission for the interview. "I said to him that I don't need to give you another answer to that, because it's all clear - there's no permission as has been instructed by the deputy minister," he said. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/2014/02/20/17/06/stop-tv-deal-lobbying-corby-parole-boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asiantravel Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Crikey the Corby family are showing real signs of desperation in their hunger for money…….even trying to meet the Justice Minister in Jakarta Mercedes and husband Wayan Widyartha have been waging a campaign to get the green light for Corby’s interview. This week, the couple apparently visited Jakarta, where they visited the corrections directorate general but didn’t get the answer they were looking for. They then tried to meet the justice minister, Amir Syamsuddin, who granted Corby’s parole, but were only able to leave a letter for him. Syamsuddin told reporters on Friday the advice to Corby couldn’t be clearer. “What’s with Corby?” he said . “It’s clear what the corrections board in Bali has answered to their letter, and that’s what’s correct. The corrections board has rejected it. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/21/schapelle-corby-interview-still-out-of-bounds-despite-sisters-plea-to-minister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right and bogans have the knack of pushing buttons. Corbys fail to sway minister on TV deal A plea to allow Schapelle Corby to do a lucrative TV interview has been rebuffed at ministerial level, despite her family promising not to be critical of Indonesia and arguing it was for the sake of her rehabilitation. The Seven Network is expected to pay a seven-figure sum for the story of Corby's nine-year imprisonment in Bali for drug-smuggling charges she has always denied. But Indonesian justice officials say the interview will likely end her parole, which took effect when she left Kerobokan jail last week amid chaotic scenes. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/2014/02/21/18/58/corbys-fail-to-sway-minister-on-tv-deal Edited February 21, 2014 by chooka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Mercedes Corby suing the Australian Federal Police over interview money for drug-convicted sister Schapelle MERCEDES Corby is suing the Australian Federal Police in what is believed to be a row over their attempts to seize any money paid to her sister Schapelle for an exclusive TV interview. Lawyers for Ms Corby, under her full name of Mercedes Pearl Esma Corby, have lodged the documents in the Federal Court’s Sydney registry today.The case has been listed for its first mention tomorrow before Justice Jayne Jagot in Sydney. The development is yet another sensation twist in the Corby saga with armed agents from the AFP raiding Seven’s Sydney offices last Tuesday to search for documents relating to an exclusive deal for a paid interview with Schapelle Corby. Justice Jagot, presiding over the mention of Mercedes’ case, is also hearing the case lodged by Seven West Media against the AFP over the raidson Seven and on the offices of New Idea magazine last week.

I see it a bit differently. Channel 7 wants to strike while the iron is hot. While there is public interest in Corny. Wait a further 6 months and interest wanes, photos of her are taken, secret videos, secret recordings; all diminishing the value of the Corby brand. Also, they might have spent massive amounts already in setting up the interview and accommodation. Similarly, Channel 7 would view Corby having her parole cancelled as a positive. Adding some spice and drama to the story. The story they apparently have exclusive family commentary rights to. It is all massive publicity for Channel 7 who can milk a few specials now, then milk more in the future. This constant testing of Indonesian authorities is clear proof of financial gain over Schapelle's immediate personal welfare. The family seems to believe good counsel and advice comes in the form of the largest $$ signs. Who has Schapelle's best interest at heart? None of her family it seems, not Mike Willesse, not Channel 7, and i doubt even Schapelle is smart enough to pay it safe. The Corby express (and impending trainwreck) has quite a few stations to go as yet! Toot toot! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsailor35 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Wonder if her brother will say sorry. And her dad is now dead ! However there were a couple of baggage handlers arrested for drug offences at Brisbane Airport on the very day that she flew out. Coincidence i know, but enough to cast doubt as it had become a habit of drug gangs to ship via interstate airports. I am inclined to believe that she was just the unfortunate victim of a complete cock up, the marijuana was just inserted into her boogie board bag via a simple zip. They probably missed the shipment at Sydney and she copped it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsailor35 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 At 25 she was still a beauty student. Most do this at 16 and 17? Sounds as though she was slow, that maybe why she couldn't work out how the dope got into the dope's bag. If she didn't pack it maybe someone in the family put it in! Honestly, the girl has done enough time, but the coverage she has got with her family, is a shame; will see a few good books written, I hope not. The Bali goal has to be the best in Asia to get locked up in. What they should have done is transfered her to a few more years in a Aussie goal. One of the Indonesian Poli's suggested that her Dad was involved in the racket on the TV here in OZ. I am sure his inteligence source would be reliable. But the whole family has some form in this side of business from various media reports here in OZ. At the end of the day, if not her then someone in the family should have done the time. I just hope the bail conditions restrict this minipulating muppet from earning any money from the trade in misery that her family is involved in. Good on ya Indonesia. OMG Chris Lawrence, you do know everything don't you. Well maybe it might happen to you one day ( just hoping) People like you were ready to hang Lindy Chamberlaine and you should all be ashamed of yourselves, Lindy was cleared of charges and freed from jail.

They probably missed the shipment at Sydney and she copped it . The baggage handler slipping drugs into her bag was a story fabricated by her first defense lawyer. He admitted to this being the case. In a June 2008 documentary, Schapelle Corby: The Hidden Truth, Corby's former lawyer, Robin Tampoe, said that he fabricated the defence theory that Australian baggage handlers could have planted the drugs in Corby's luggage, apologised to them,[20] and said that former Australian foreign minister Alexander Downer told him he suspected Corby's brothers were behind the convicted drug smuggler's crime.[21][22] Tampoe was subsequently struck off for misconduct http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schapelle_Corby#Alleged_involvement_of_baggage_handlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
