Yes. And the thought of her profiting from any interviews will enrage me to the max.

The press keep saying this case has all of Australia captured wanting to know what is happening and it has been the biggest story since Ned Kelly.The only thing  I can say it  has been the biggest amount of enthusiasm by  the press since Ned Kelly to ramp up a story that should have disappeared five years ago.Most people are fed up with news on TV being taken up by Australians overseas doing the wrong thing and getting caught.If these people didn't get caught they would be living a very good life style from their illegal gains.Peter.

Commercial television aims at the lowest common denominator viewer, that's why soapies, USA shows and the plethora of reality tv shows make them money. Because they so easily sucked in, they can advertise any sort of junk they want and the suckers will buy it.

The Corby things is just an extension of that and I don't see why anyone with a decent mind would blame her for this circus, all she wants is to get out of jail. Plus holier than thou attitudes only reflect how inadequate some are. In the majority of cases for people being in jail, the only difference between them and those on the street, is they got caught.

I defy anyone to claim they have never committed a crime of any sort. I feel very sad for Michelle, because she has to go through this circus. Doubt anyone here would know or understand the trauma associated with being released on parole and knowing if you step out of line just one fraction, you can go back, even if it is not your fault. In Indonesia, with this ladies case, they will be ready to pounce and the media attention puts her parole freedom at risk. Some of the conditions, requires her to be moderate, modest and not cause disturbance.

After all it is her family who have organised all this, not her. She has no say in anything and more than likely would much prefer to disappear from view for a long time, to get over what she has been through. Irrelevant to her guilt or innocence.

No, not sick of it.
Am waiting for the truth to come out and her innocence proven.

 Shapelle Corby.  Is she guilty as charged?  Did she do it?  Why would anybody want to smuggle drugs into Bali?

 That's the trouble with people today, they all want to rest on their laurels and let someone else do the work.

Heard today that she has been paid 2 mill for exclusive interview almost makes you think the time in the can could be worth it, she bis a convicted criminal get her off the air media wake up the average Aussie just isn't interested

 She has to be very careful what she says in an interview as she could very easily end up back in prison to serve out her sentence.  As you say the average Aussie isn't interested,  it is the old "She'll be right Mate" syndrome.

She's now famous and I wouldn't be surprised if she's in dancing with the stars one of these days.

What a role model...NOT

 She is a drug runner as are the rest of her family.  She should have been hung (IMHO) as were the Barlows then she would have been forgotten now.

Hundreds of people are released from prison every day, why the attention on her?

I wish NOBODY would watch the programs the blood sucking media are paying, maybe they would learn then.

Oh dear, how could anyone ever accuse a girl of doing wrong? It just doesn't figure does it? Girls don't do wrong things.  It must be dreadful men at it again.  No, of course she didn't notice the bulge and weight of 4.1kg of the finest hydroponic weed in her bag.  Girls do have heavy bags you know.  Mean misogynists the lot of you!  Sexism!!  Diiisssscccccrimination!  She should claim compensation.  Where is that freeby lawyer from Legal Aid?

 Yeah and that Hicks bloke was home and in bed as well.

Sheeesh, there really are some wide ranging opinions on Corby, reminds me of the Lindy Chamberlain case years ago.

I wonder if we will ever know the true story of what happened and by whom etc, and not the paid media version.

I'm sick of it too but am I right in thinking that Indonesia follows Dutch Roman Law where you are guilty until proven innocent?
