Schapelle: The washup
The Jakarta Post’s take on the Schapelle Corbys sentence here
Long term commentator at Tim Dunlop’s site, Aussie Bob, has opened his own blog. His profile could be summarised as “I hate Howard and Downer with such a passion that my life’s writings are all aimed at blaming them for everything I perceive as wrong with the Australian society”.
Visit for the experience and for confirmation as to why people of his poltical pursuasion have never successfully run any country anywhere, ever. There is a lot of weird rationale used but I guess it must make sense to Bob.
Publius Pundit has a fairly balanced round up of opinion on the case and is worth reading for an non-Aussie take.
You might like to read the comments at Tim Blair and at Tim Dunlop for opposing views.
There seems to be some weird conspiracy theories around but it should liven up your sunday reading, sunday papers being what they are.

That’s a little rough on Bob, don’t you think, given that you & yours are merely the antithesis of what you claim his views are.
Maybe the ‘yours’ are but not the ‘you’ I have never accused Beasley or Rudd of creating the circumstances for Schapelles predicament.Bob’s latest post, Australia: The Wanker Country is so full of it and don’t get me started on the vitriol in comments at Tim Dunlop’s place.
Mate, he’s irrational.
I still hold to the text of my comment, Kevin. The ‘vitriol’ you displayed in your post toward Bob is quite uncalled for
I would seriously question the validity of any opinion which sees our operations in Timor as an invasion, or one which would seemingly welcome the deaths of Australian troops in order to prove an academic point. Some things beggar belief.
