All that incriminating filming of the 'Bali 9' was absent in the Corby case.

I have been an outspoken defender of the new Indonesian government as they try to build a stable and just democracy, after that old crook and murderer Suharto.

But if they convict Schapelle, they're not worth defending.

Sure, we have treated their fishermen unfairly for a long time. Burn their boats on the beach - how that must rankle with Indonesian nationalists, especially when Australia has claimed so much ocean that we had to "declaim" Christmas Island because refugees landing there were deemed to be on "Australian territory".

But it doesn't justify revenge on the basis of such a weak case for such a weak drug.

It really rankles when our federal government and our federal police withold evidence when they know full well that the baggage handlers were crooked and even that federal officers had been implicated. That stinks.

When that Keelty gets up and defends the system when he knew full well that arrests were about to be made, that is pissweak.
