YOU IDIOT.
As someone who has been in Bali as late as Feb 2005, let me tell some
facts.
YOU CANNOT WALK 50 METRES AT NIGHT WITHOUT SOMEONE OFFERING PROSTITUTES
OR DRUGS IN BALI.
SCHAPELLE CORBY HAS NEVER BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH HEROIN, IT WAS MARIJUANA
YOU COMPLETE IDIOT.
WHY WOULD YOU TAKE $45,000 WORTH OF DRUGS INTO A COUNTRY WHEN YOU CAN
BUY IT THERE FOR LESS THAN $500.
YOU SHOULD LEARN TO READ AND LISTEN BEFORE YOU TRY VOICING AN INFORMED
OPINION.
YOU CAN'T BE A NEW ZEALANDER BECAUSE NO ONE IN NEW ZEALAND COULD BE
THAT DUMB.
YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NEVER BEEN TO BALI.
TAKE YOUR RABID RAN TINGS AND GO GET A LIFE

Hi there,
That guy had it wrong, her flight details are depart Brisbane with a
stopover in Sydney before heading for Bali. It would have been placed in her
bag in Brisbane so that it could have been collected by a baggage handler in
Sydney...but that never happened. Ipso facto...she got caught up in the
event.
It is important to note that there has been increased surveilance of
vehicles crossing State borders in the last couple of years.
cheers.

Really? I've never ever been stopped crossing an Australian state border by
car (nor even seen *any* car stopped) - it's unlikely in the extreme. There
are so many border crossings in such a large country the chances of being
stopped by a cop, at random, are infinitesimally small. Certainly much less
likely than a bag being searched at an airport, or a baggage handler being
seen interfering with luggage.

I have been through very thorough checks going into WA by road (agricultural
inspectors), where there are very few road crossing points, but never
between QLD and NSW as far as I remember. I would also think there are too
many roads to control except maybe the main trucking highways.

What about the gates on the highway just south of Tweed Heads that check
your car as you travel into Queensland?
Oh.. that's right - they got rid of them about 25 year ago.. my mistake!
Seriously though, there's a few dozen roads which cross the Qld/NSW
border within a few Kms of each other, not to mention thousands of people
who commute across the border every day for work and otherwise - There's
no way you could keep track of anyone crossing it. Hell, even the airport
at Coolangatta is half in NSW and half in Qld (including about the end 1/4
of the main runway being in NSW) - it's hardly a "strict" border.
> likely than a bag being searched at an airport, or a baggage handler being

This is the bit which doesn't make sense to me. In order to get away with
this you've got to sneak drugs _into_ an airport, hide them somewhere
until a "good" bag comes along, put the drugs in the bag, remove them at
the other end, hide them again, and then sneek then out of the airport.
All that risk to transport 4Kg of grass 1000kms ? Internationally it's a
bit of a different story, but for domestic I just can't see it being the
risk - give it to a truckie instead and let him bring it south.

Say what? That's assuming someone planted the drugs. Better way to say
it is "She was caught with drugs in her possession ipso facto she was
smuggling them".

Exactly - why would anyone take the risk when it would be so easy to
just drive the drugs from Brisbane to Sydney? Airports have many
levels of security, and to get any kind of contraband through you'd
have to have a huge number of personnel in both airports in on the
shipment, and even then there are cameras and other records. One staff
member who wasn't bought off or who wasn't aware of it could easily
unravel the whole thing.
And it was $24,000 US worth of pot - that's not an amount you would
just put in a stranger's bag. If they were trying to set her up in
order to let a much more valuable shipment go unnoticed, they wouldn't
put $24,000 worth, and they'd be risking the chance that the bust would
lead to more, not less scrutiny of everything else on that flight.
