Do any Australians feel sorry for Corby or The Bali 9? What is Rudd doing about their cases?

I am not an Australian but I really feel sorry for them and their families!Do any Australians feel sorry for Corby or The Bali 9? What is Rudd doing about their cases?
I think it's offensive when things like this happen and people expect their government to bail them out (support is a different matter). When you travel overseas you accept the laws of the country you visit....otherwise don't go. All Australians who have a passport are made aware of the risks involved with international travel at the time the passport is issued, in addtion to warnings at airports and websites.....not to mention common sense!





I do feel for the families involved but I think in all the media hype people forget the untold stories of heroin and other drug addictions, and the death and misery that come with it. These impact on many more families than of those found guilty of drug trafficking.Do any Australians feel sorry for Corby or The Bali 9? What is Rudd doing about their cases?
Not really they knew there was risk to what they were doing and they got caught so its really up to their system of justice there. It is a shame that the death sentence is involved but thats their law and society doesn't exist if there are no laws to follow.
I don't as the whole Corby family is suppose to be into drugs big time and if your silly enough to do the crime!, then your good enough to do the time behind bars. Its not as though they didn't know and still people are being caught from Australia with drugs. Man are some people really that stupid?.
I feel for the families not but not for Corby or the Bali 9.


They broke another countries laws and no matter if we think the penalties are harsh they are their laws and we wouldn't like it if someone came and tried to tell us how to run our country.


So it is not up to Rudd to intervene.
Not sorry in the least, and I hope Mr Rudd will not do anything to help these law breakers who may have contributed to the death of others in their drug dealings.
i feel sorry for their families but not for them,they knew what they were doing!


they were stupid and greedy and knew the penalties in that country were harsh before they went there





what do you think Rudd can do? he has no right to interfere with the laws of another country


it would be like drug smugglers being caught in your country and Australia telling your government how to run their country, not on right?
No, I don't feel sorry for any of them, they knew the laws of the country before they went. And another one caught in Bali yesterday. The Gov. should not interfere in the other countries business. How many people would they kill if they got the drugs through.
I don't. From what I can make out, and I know people who live in Blackwater, Q, where the Corby's lived, her family got her into it and it was possibly not her first run.





As for the others, - damn fools, the lot of them.
I don't either


they new what they were doing so the punishment given by that country is what they knew they would get if caught


so do the crime do the time
Let 'em burn...no sympathy for drug smugglers!





Hello, Corby has family in Bali and would have known the consequences if caught. Time spent in a 3rd world prison is what they deserve, each and every single one of them knew the deal and STILL went ahead with it.





Besides, by all accounts Corby and her family have a background in growing and selling drugs, so yeah, sucked in!
