I think that Ch 9 are taking the Corbys' side, is this because they, ACA, paid dear Roz a lot for the story in the beginning ? so now is it up to Tracey to make Ray still look like he was on the right track, poor Ray sucked in .. again !!!

I think Channel 9 are fully supporting the Corby's because Channel 7 won the bidding war for the Corby friend.

Neither give a stuff as long as it pulls in viewers, which it is in droves for 7.

I know its only a radio station but I was listening in Melbourne earlier this evening and one of girls who rang up knew the friend and friends family.

Apparently when Schapelle was first put in jail, both of them were adament that she was innocent and told everyone in sight. Now they have a falling out with the family and bamn shes guilty. Sounds pretty sussed to me.

I have no idea whose telling the truth and whose lying but I dont think anyone should be stuck in jail for drugs. Not when there are so many more terrible drug crimes being committed and people barely get months in jail.

I don't expect HE gets too close to anybody!! . .  

When I saw it the thought crossed my mind that he could be smuggling goodness-knows-what in that thing.  .   . .it would be handier than a 'boogy-board-bag'.

Only days after Schapelle’s arrest, a senior Gold Coast Cop told me that if it wasn’t Schapelle’s dope it was because she was being set up by her competition.  The Corbys were a well known “drug family” at the time and it came as no surprise to the troopers up here in Queensland when she was arrested.

There is a lot of hypocrisy in the law regarding various drugs, and opinions vary concerning the differences between alcohol, ciggies, and other substances, but people who smuggle drugs into Indonesia are very much aware of the risks ...fair or unfair.

Corby's mother sues Seven for defamation
Saturday Jun 9 09:00 AEST


Rosleigh Rose, the mother of convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby, is suing the Seven Network for defamation over allegations broadcast on its current affairs program Today Tonight.

In February, the program ran a paid interview with Jodie Power, a former friend of the Corbys, in which she made drug allegations against Ms Rose and her other daughter, Mercedes Corby.

Mercedes Corby has denied the claims, describing them as "hurtful" and "untrue", and is also suing the program for defamation.

Mother and daughter are seeking unspecified damages.

As Ms Rose's case came before the NSW Supreme Court on Friday, her lawyer Bill Kalantzis said the Seven Network had opted to have the matter heard by a jury.

Registrar Christopher Bradford adjourned the case until next month.

Corby, 29, is serving 20 years in a Bali prison after being convicted of smuggling 4.1kg of cannabis into Indonesia inside a bodyboard bag in 2004.

Corbys sue Seven for damages
September 10, 2007 - 4:20PM


Explosive allegations against members of Schapelle Corby's family may be put to the test during weeks of hearings in the NSW Supreme Court early next year.

The convicted drug smuggler's sister Mercedes Corby and mother Rosleigh Rose are suing the Seven Network, claiming its Today Tonight program defamed them in a series of segments broadcast over February 12-15.

They also are taking action over a Seven News story broadcast on February 14.

They claim a former Corby family friend, Jodie Power, made defamatory allegations during a paid interview.

In addition to Ms Power, Channel Seven, Australian News Channel, Today Tonight host Anna Coren and reporter Bryan Seymour are also named in the court action.

In the NSW Supreme Court today, barrister for Ms Corby and Ms Rose, Chrysanthou Sue, indicated their legal team would seek to have the matters listed for hearing early next year.

Ms Sue said she anticipated Ms Corby's matter would take three weeks, while Ms Rose's would require only one week.

The mother and daughter are seeking damages with interest, claiming their credit, reputation and occupation had been greatly injured by the reports and that they had been brought into public scandal, odium and contempt.

In a statement of claim tendered previously to the court, Ms Corby and Ms Rose accuse the defendants of engaging in chequebook journalism, having paid Ms Power "a very large amount of money to make the allegations she did".

Ms Corby also claims that the Seven Network employed a private investigator in an attempt to entrap her into providing material for Today Tonight.

Ms Corby and Ms Rose were not in court today.

Justice Henric Nicholas adjourned the matters until October 8 when hearing dates are expected to be set.

Schapelle Corby, 30, is serving 20 years in a Bali prison after being convicted of smuggling 4.1kg of cannabis into Indonesia inside a bodyboard bag in 2004.

Corby's jailer arrested in drugs bust

Sunday September 23, 2007
The security chief at the prison where the Bali nine and Schapelle Corby are held has reportedly been arrested for running drugs.

An undercover operation by Indonesian police has lead to the arrest of Muhammad Sudrajat, who is suspected of running drugs inside and out of the Kerobokan prison since he took on the post 14 months ago.

Michael Norman, father of the Bali Nine's Matthew Norman, has told Fairfax newspapers the arrest should receive international attention.

"I think the Australian public is probably sick of it all now, as far as the Bali Nine goes," Mr Norman says.
  
"But what's going on with the Indonesian government, its jails, the corruption, the cover-ups ... it's important this is brought to the attention of the international community."

Mr Norman also said it was inexcusable that 60 per cent of those held within Kerobokan prison were there on drug-related offences and yet they were "fed drugs" by the jail's security chief.

Matthew Norman, who turned 21 on Monday, is one of six of the Bali Nine who is on death row.

Sudrajat has reportedly admitted to using drugs but has denied he was a drug dealer for inmates.

Guilty by Association? I have believed Schapelle was guilty of taking the fall for her brother. I also believe the family is as dirty as can possibly be when it comes to drugs of all kinds. I never thought anybody would be so stupid as to smuggle drugs INTO Bali though!

Corby friends 'in smuggling ring'



December 08, 2007 01:54am

IT'S been revealed that four associates of convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby were named in a police intelligence report as being part of a ring that transported drugs between Brisbane and Bali - three weeks before she was arrested at Denpasar Airport with cannabis in her boogie board bag.

According to press reports, a 2004 police intelligence report quotes a witness, Kim Moore, alleging the four people were involved in manufacturing amphetamines in Brisbane that were then transported in powder and tablet form to Bali in a "dark coloured suitcase surrounded by oily paper within a false bottom".

Corby, now 30, and her family have long claimed she was a victim and that her bag was used by drug smugglers. She is serving a 20-year sentence at Kerobokan prison in Bali.

Ms Moore, now 52, made her report to police on September 16, 2004 - 22 days before Corby was arrested with cannabis in Bali on October 8.

The report has been obtained by the ABC radio program PM. Ms Moore last night said she was in hiding, fearing for her life from the men involved in the drug ring.

She said she made her report after one of the men in the group offered cannabis to her intellectually disabled son, who is now 22.

''(They) tried to get him onto marijuana and then the hard stuff, heroin,'' Ms Moore said.
She said she was a former heroin addict but had been clean for 20 years. The Queensland Police Service described her as a reliable witness, PM reported.

Ms Moore said the men also dealt in heroin. They "were transporting marijuana as well as the powder form, tablet (form) of heroin up and down the coast from Brisbane and across to Bali via Sydney and Brisbane airport".

She said the drug ring ran from "before 2000 until I put it in to police in 2004". Ms Moore said she then obtained a sample of cannabis from the group and gave it to police.

She had made a report to police in 2003 but said this was ignored. But she said her later report led to a police raid in Gladstone in September 2004. It had been a success and police broke up a commercial cannabis operation, PM reported.

"When I brought them more information and everything else and they did the raid, and I even got a sample of the marijuana that went overseas," she said. "But Schapelle had been caught and the evidence destroyed so we couldn't put the two lots (of cannabis) together." Corby's half-brother, James Kisina, 20, was convicted last year of stealing drugs during a home invasion.

Another half-brother, Clinton Rose, was convicted of drug possession while her father, Michael Corby, was fined in the 1970s for possessing cannabis.
