Second, the usual, average IQ for a country is expected to be 100. Australia only scores 98 on average - and by definition half the country is dumber than that.

Third, abbott was elected, rather than jailed.

I trust this explain why a 'human interest' story on a bogan drug smuggler is more worthy of a special than, say, the end of all car manufacturing in Australia and what strategically should be done about it.

Is this Sunday or Monday night. The progranme I saw was Monday. Did Sunday feature more commercials than programme?

The Aussie car industry, like the British car industry, and the US car industry, should be put to bed with the same bolt gun used to destroy the giraffe.

But then you consider the poor kids in places like Syria, and the youngsters setting fire to themselves to try and help their beloved Tibet, and you wonder, WTF are people even giving this drug dealer space in the their thoughts?
Obviously the Indonesians didn't think she was worth the cost of a bullet.....or the family paid the right people there off......

I hear Corby's family get to keep the 5 million or whatever as long as its paid to them not her, so they avoid proceeds of crime law's.

Aus govt should seize it, I mean who paid for the legal fees, the australian consulate aid, the politicians flying out there to negotiate her release. The taxpayer paid the lot and this govt should recoup it.

Whole thing sends the wrong message, how many not very bright aussies are now thinking even if I get caught I will get rich.

Probably be 3 months before the next lot get caught and we pay the bill again.

Huge fan of INXS. So chanced it, lasted 10 minutes, it was so so bad. Switched off, it was insulting to such a great band.

Yeah. I met the mother via that TV show last. The mother was what prompted me to finally Axe the show. Do they actually make human beings like that? Is it a Brisbane thing?

Bogans are australia wide unfortunately.

I wonder if any of this footage is being shown overseas, nice advert for Australia

Lets hope the Govt smacks the smiles off their faces soon. Would be funny if the Indonesian Govt makes a claim on the proceeds of crime

Who is paying for her 'resort' accomodation at the moment?

It was said to cost $1000 per night, on the TV last night

Odd coincidence too that the Schapelle movie just happened to have been programmed ( weeks before allegedly ), bang on her release date.....

Probably Channel 7 - I understand they've signed an exclusive deal with the drug trafficker.

I wonder if Indonesia have any 'profiting from crime' laws? Would be hilarious if they did and any deal she makes violates her parole.

I have no problem with Corby being paid for her story

She's done the crime
She's done the time
Her debt to society has been repaid

If someone wants to pay this silly woman $2m then more fool them. The sheep public watch this kind of shite, which drives advertising revenue, which makes the TV company richer. Who's the mugs?

Good luck to her I say
