I don't think she will be going anywhere soon....She will be on parole and will have to live in Bali for some time....The media interviews will keep her in luxary for many moons to come.
 
I think this is all talk. Remember channel nine do have a TV show about her coming out next week...

Apparently the parole officer/whoever says people get parole is away till mid next week. Not to mention theres hundreds of applications in front of hers! no doubt a 'fee' could fix this up for her though.
 
This young woman, should be allowed, to return to Australia to continue life in the chaste anonymity to which she was accustomed before she unwisely decided on a holiday in Bali, with her boogie board.

Maybe she could roam Legian with Madi and Ketut and sell time share to gullible Australians.She must be fluent in Bahasa by now.

What about the book and the potential miniseries, Underbali - The Schapelle Corby Story ?
 
It would appear that there is growing opposition to her parole among the political echelons as it could affect the voting proletariat. Would not be surprised if she gets knocked back as the fiddys have not been greasing the correct judgmental palms to warrant a signing .... YET.

I can't see then letting her go yet, had she of greased the right palms she would have been home years ago.
 
"Saya akan membayar hakim satu ratus juta rupiah untuk melepaskan saya" said Schapelle .... update soon to come as Justice Minister Amir Syamsuddin will be announcing her application process for parole.
(I am sure the 10k he was slipped helped his reasoning as well) ;)
 
ABC24 is broadcasting today's Schapelle Corby announcement.

The broadcast time slot is of 2-hours duration.
 
Are people still traveling to Bali with unsecured luggage?

There was the case reported on one of the channels a few years ago of the middle aged couple who opened their luggage when they got to their Bali hotel and found a bag of drugs inside. I think they were advised by one of our officials to discretely empty the bag onto the ground somewhere and mix it into the sand.

At one stage there were wrapping services on offer at the airports where your bags could be wrapped in several layers of industrial clingwrap. Are they still going?

If I ever went to Bali again (can't think of a reason I would) I would certainly want my luggage to be taped, padlocked and thoroughly clingwrapped against interference, after seeing what a farce the Indonesian "justice" system is and how they mistreat their evidence. Possession is 10/10ths of the law and no finger printing, DNA testing, etc. is allowed, and all evidence is burned immediately after the court hands down its sentence. What a farce of a "justice" system!

Anyone who visits Indonesia, after this travesty of justice, should be required to sign a waiver that they accept full responsibility for whatever happens to them and will not expect our people to "bring them home" if their holiday goes pear-shaped.
 
This corruption must have a significant impact on tourism. I know many people travel there but I would never feel safe. I'd be paranoid. I have no desire to ever go there. Some might think that this is way over the top.

I couldn't imagine how Corby would be feeling today.
 
Was in Bali from mid Sept til 8th Oct. No trouble at all. Was in Bali from the 5th Jan til the 15th Jan. No trouble at all. Have traveled extensively through Indo ... Batam, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Semarang blah blah blah ... no trouble at all.

If you want a real Indo experience go to Waimana Beach, Flores Island. Totally unspoiled.

The new Ngurah Rai airport has certainly improved expediency and did not see one machine gun in sight ! They have even taken down all the signs that "DRUGS ARE ILLEGAL" and "DEATH PENALTIES APPLY" :eek: Although the departure lounge food stalls are somewhat to be desired as there is about 3000 people wanting to leave Bali and with only 600 seats available in the restaurants, so you end up walking around dropping food stuff everywhere.

Yes you can still get your bags wrapped in plastic at the airports. Not going to stop anything. A simple coloured zip lock is the easiest way of securing your bag. Also probably a better idea is not to take a boogie board full of dope through customs without paying the right people first. Went through with 6 litres of booze between 2 people and you are only allowed 1 litre each. 20 greenbacks later you are on your way. Not hard to understand really.

As for Bali ?? "Bali indah dan saya mau tinggal di sana" ... you just got to know where to go.

It has had ZERO impact on tourism. I feel safer in Bali than I do in ANY big city in Australia. There is nothing to be paranoid about except maybe a bit of Bali belly from drinking too much Arak. :D
