Off to well deserved international adulation. And then a well deserved retirement after a lifetime in service of the Australian people.

Howardman crawleth beneath a rock, dwelling in suppurating darkness, gnawing upon the bones of his vile legacy, amen

It's funny to hear an old arsehole talking about ripping a new arsehole.

I'm a forgiven man. My Lord and Savior will protect me from evil and rip Lucifer a new asshole.

I found me ol'jock strap on top of the wardrobe. Bit dusty so do you a good deal. Any takers? Mark

Little Johnny Howard's reign of fear was built on a foundation of wilful social and economic violence. Justice requires that he be prosecuted for his actions. Then we might see if the little freak can grin his way out of that.

They can really chew on that jockstrap. If they buy one of non-core Johnny's much-used jockstraps, they could use it as a tea-bag! They would be in neo-Liberal Heaven!

These Labor clowns will drive Australia into the ground. With all their PC laws and enviro-madness this once proud Nation is turning into a looney left wonderland.

They got no bids!

Here's just a taste of Dubya's legacy: "five years after embarking on its largest foreign reconstruction project since the Marshall Plan in Europe after World War II, the United States government has in place neither the policies and technical capacity nor the organizational structure that would be needed to undertake such a program on anything approaching this scale."

The Lying Rodent spent 12 years wrecking Australia and you expect young Kev to repair it all in a year?

Yes, non-core John left an awful mess to fix, and wasn't it Loony Libs who got the Olympics that bankrupted NSW?

If we see a bit more of this I'll be right behind the Corby fight!

Justice or injustice? Who cares, as long as I have the horn!

Well, examining all the facts...Innocent. Yes, definitely innocent.

I know what my palm is joined to

Verily, Thou consumeth the worlds, O Cthulhu, Lord of All!
Prostrate before Thee I fall, and with joined palms I pray to Thee, O Lord!

Y'all better git prepared. You ain't seen nothin yet!!!

Its Lucifer coming to get you Ricardovitz.

He is gonna take your sad hate full sack downstairs and make you lick his smelly goat arsehole for eternity.

HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!!
Next think you'll be saying is George W Shit-for-brains is the most brilliant US President ever!

Mr Jansen, when Schapelle was arrested, the Australian people were on the verge of rioting on the streets. Anti-Indonesian sentiment was at an all-time high. It was a diplomatic catastrophe. In case you forgot, over 90% of Australians believed she was innocent.
Instead of doing the honourable thing and negotiating for Schapelle's release, the Australian government embarked on a smear campaign to kill off public support for her. It started with the fake anthrax attack ("Hey everyone, if you're a Schapelle supporter then you might be a terrorist"), then continued with a stream of nasty, unsubstantiated newspaper articles which continue to this day.
The Australian government has a long history of covering up for Indonesia. They lied about what happened to the Balibo Five, they kept the truth covered up for over 30 years. Our government also strip-searched journalists for footage of the Dili massacre to hide what was going on over there. What makes you think this is a conspiracy? It all makes perfect sense.

Mr Jansen, western governments (especially Australia) are trying to protect the illusion that Indonesia is a democracy. Once Schapelle was found guilty, Australians were on the verge of rioting on the streets. In case you forgot, at least 90% of the population believed she was innocent. It was a diplomatic catastrophe. The Australian government knows about the problems with the Indonesian judicial system. Instead of doing the honourable thing and negotiating to have her released, they embarked on a smear campaign to kill off public support for Schapelle. It all started with the fake anthrax attack, then continued with a stream of nasty, unsubstantiated newspaper articles. See the comment above.

Although I personally believe she is 100% guilty of drug smuggling considering there isn't any substantial evidence they have no right to imprison her. At the very least she should be jailed over here due to Indonesia's fuck up. They say they're serious about the "war against drugs" yet its always the drug user and not the drug dealer they imprison and//or execute.

Digger I hope that nick name is not in reference to Australian War Veterans. Their motto was don't turn your back on your mates. You however have demonstrated that you are happy to do just that without knowing the facts.

Notice these people that are anti Schapelle never have a arguement or give any reasoning as to why she is guilty. "Daaa red it in da payper mus be twue" or they like to insult Schapelle from behind their computers. Real brave to insult someone who cannot defend themselves.

Good. We are all better off without these druggie dimwits.

Wijaja - This may come as news to you, but innocent people are arrested all the time. Basically you're saying that if someone put a bag of mj in one of your possessions when you weren't looking and then are caught with it, you should do the time and shut up about it. FAIR trials normally sort out this kind of thing, but unfortunately Schapelle was not given the benefit of one of those. She was found guilty because she could not prove her innocence. She could not prove her innocence because she was not given the opportunity to do so. DNA testing and fingerprinting that Schapelle requested was denied. The airport "lost" the video footage of her checking in the boogie board bag. The judge she was tried in front of has never acquitted a single defendant. The fact that her bag was unlocked and out of her control for 12 hours and gone through two Australian airports where employees have been arrested for putting drugs in unknowing travelers bags should be reasonable doubt on it's own. Indonesia is supposedly an innocent-until-proven-guilty country, yet the only thing they had was that drugs were found in a bag that was owned by Schapelle. If Indonesia is so serious about stopping drugs why didn't they do anything to determine where the drugs were from? The entire case is a joke!

Because it has no effect on our policies against drug users and pushers. She was caught with drugs and has to pay the penaty.

I am getting a bit confused. John Howard married the devils wife to keep relations with Indonesia tip top.

Is this correct?

Oh boy, I have no idea...

Why is it insane to ask: 1) Why was the bag not fingerprinted and the mj not DNA tested when there was an official request to do so made by the Corby family? 2) Why did all the video footage of Schapelle checking in her luggage in Brisbane suddenly disappear? 3) Why did all the media which had been supportive of Schapelle suddenly do a 180 and start printing innuendo that the family was involved in drug smuggling and then not print corrections when 100% of the accusations prooved untrue (see the police reports). 4) Why is the fact that her unlocked bag was out of her control for 12 hours and handled by who knows how many people not considered reasonable doubt. Especially when Schapelle had no prior involvement with drugs. Now how is it that I am the one considered not sane here?

Are you serious ? Schapelle requested the luggage of all four passengers to be weighed together ,as her boogie board was not weighed individually by Qantas. She had a collective weight only on her ticket . DENIED. even though all the other baggage was still together and intact. Sh quested the police to stop handling the bag containing the marijuana to preserve evidence DENIED. She requested the bag be finger printed. DENIED She requested the marijuana be DNA tested. DENIED She requested the cctv footage from Denpasar airport. DENIED Why would the Bali police refuse ? Surely any of these would strengthen their case against her. The Bali police had their patsy and they were not going to collect evidence that would prove otherwise. Can you please tell me why Schapelle would request the AFP get cctv surveilence footage from the Qantas check in at Brisbane airport ? If one frame showed a pregnant boogie board bag ,it would have been positive proof of her guilt. How was she to know that every cctv was switched off ? Guilty people do not request evidence that could get them executed. To Mr Jansen Do you really think the Australian Government would not sacrifice one person to preserve relations with Indonesia? If the marijuana was planted in Bali every piece of the puzzle fits. Not even your most hardened traveller would visit a country with the death penalty ,that plants drugs on its tourists. Why was there no investigation from our police to find out where the marijuana was grown ? Why wouldn't they at least search Schapelle's car or home ? Why weren't her family and friends interviewed ? Surely the police would want to arrest the culprits that so sullied our good name. This put Australia in league with other drug yielding countries like Thailand and Columbia. Answer the AFP knew the truth. Keelty said it himself when queried why the AFP had not investigated. "WE ARE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF CLEARING PEOPLE" All this is documented on the net. If anyone wants to do the research.

Why on earth would there be a conspiracy to keep Corby in jail? What possible advantage could the Australian Government and media gain from it?

You lot are like the tinfoil hat wearing UFO brigade. Next you will be telling us that 9/11 is involved in all this...

Yours in sanity,

Mr Jansen

Just a man who wants the truth.

And it seems to me obvious that the truth is she was smuggling drugs for her own gain and/or personal use. The law is very clear about that. Now you might quibble about the severity of the sentence, but when it comes to the process of the law there is no doubt. It was a transparent process. And the guilty have to be punished.

Can we have the Man'o'Steel John Howard for a few years?

Great vid. I wonder if all the Corby haters are cowering in fear now.

I hope this video will highlight the Australian Governments attempt to quash support for Schapelle . The former Prime Minister John Howard lied to the Australian public . When he was interviewed on national television after a white powder was sent to the Indonesian Embassey in Canberra. He stated as fact " the initial tests show the powder is a type of bacillus bacteria , the same family as the anthrax bacteria". He added further 'It's an act of reckless indifference to human life" and went on to apologise to the Indonesians. The white powder was talcum powder.The AFP were aware of this almost immediatly! This was confirmed later and yet the AFP went about the charade of wearing contamination suits for the cameras. This had to be designed to stop support for Schapelle. From 9/11 until the " talcum powder attack" there had been 360 such instances of suspicious white powder sent in the post. Not one of the previous 360 had been labeled as a terrorism attack. Since that day the Australian media have launched the most vicious attack on the Corby Family. Schapelle needs international support, it will not come from our government or media.

Great video. It gave me chills down my spine. I read that people can still submit their photos to the schapelle.net website and they will be added to the website. Will have to send one in.

Imitation is...

Awesome as in the video and the quick report. I went to their site and it is hot out today.

This is bound to throw a few wobblers. I bet the likes of SMH and the rest of the smear crew never saw this one coming.

Bloody fair dinkum all round.

I just hope that people are starting to see what has gone down, and get this poor poor girl out of there.

Could be a reasonable solution.

Nuke Indonesia?

That little whore is giltier than sin.

Don't know a dern think y'all's talking about. I'm sure it's just code for "Bend over and git Reamed by Satan".

"... o­nce the dust has settled down..." ??? Max, too many spritzers! The dust is just beginning to rise!

Ergo the tag: suckhole of... steel?

Let's go with this:-
The illusion of progress has a slow, heavy tread, characterized by the noxious choking fog of capitalism.
The vacuous crowd will be noticed withering under the immortal subconscious truth, which on being opened, was found to contain a contract with Satan.

Smother me in anchovy paste

This has anwered a lot of questions that have tormented me for a very long time. I was always a bit worried about "The Great Australian Dream" myself. The "harmful ultraviolet radiation" information was especially helpful.

East Fish oil might help with hinges... or maybe ginko

Don't you get it ? There is no Corby Mafia. Do you seriously believe the Queensland Police are that incomperdent ? Answer this one sceptics... If Schapelle is guilty , why would she ask for the cctv surveilence footage from Brisbane airport at the time she checked her luggage? If one single frame came to light showing a pregnant BB bag it would have been positive proof of her guilt. She knew any footage would clear her. How was she to know that every single cctv camera was turned off ?
