"Besides calling for a boycott of Bali, some Australians have urged that their donations to the aid effort in tsunami-hit Aceh province be returned.
Officers at the main Bali airport found the cannabis stashed in Corby's bag last year after she arrived from Australia.
Corby has insisted the drugs were stashed somewhere in transit to Bali. Reasonable doubt is insufficient to knock down a charge under Indonesia's legal system."
"THERE was a connection between the suspected biological terror attack on the Indonesian embassy and Schapelle Corby, Prime Minister John Howard said today.
The Prime Minister said he had been briefed on the contents of a letter, written in Indonesian, accompanying a bacterial powder sent to the Indonesian ambassador in Canberra yesterday.
Mr Howard refused to detail the contents of the letter but said he had no reason not to believe the attack was linked to Corby's conviction for drug smuggling in Bali."
WHOEVER sent the envelope to the Indonesian Embassy could have harmed Schapelle Corby's chances of winning freedom, according to her Indonesian lawyer.
Lily Lubis, who heads Corby's defence team, said she had not told her client about the incident. But she said the convicted drug smuggler would be very sad and worried about it once she found out.

Olympic vote boosts call for reform: "Although Tony Blair appears determined to defend the first-past-the-post voting system for general elections, he has every reason to be relieved that the host city for the 2012 Oympics is not selected on the same basis.
It will be chosen on a variation of the 'alternative vote', with the least popular bidders dropping out of the race one by one and their supporters choosing between the remaining candidates.
The winner will be the city that finally gathers 50 per cent support among members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) , who are meeting in Singapore on 6 July."

Deborah Mather, 47, from Chorley, Lancashire, bought a ticket for Saturday's Lotto draw after dealing herself the wheel of fortune card.
The mother-of-one thought she might have a £10 win, but instead scooped the £5,150,514 jackpot.
'The cards told me there was a windfall to come - but I didn't think it was going to be this big,' she said.

She is now thinking of using some of her millions for a dream move - also predicted in the cards.
'The cards never tell you anything that is not going to happen but I never thought in my wildest dreams it was going to be this.'

Dream island a jail nightmare | National Breaking News | Breaking News 24/7 - NEWS.com.au (28-05-2005)
"For the next two decades, barring a successful appeal or a prisoner exchange deal with her homeland, the 27-year-old Gold Coast woman will be confined to a disease-infested prison housing some of the world's most notorious Islamic extremists.
And, say experts, unless Corby resigns herself to her fate – something she has so far refused to do – her sentence for smuggling 4.1 kilograms of marijuana onto the island will be much worse.
After her sentencing yesterday, the student beautician was dragged from her tearful family and taken to Kerobokan jail, a sprawling maximum security penitentiary on the fringes of the Balinese capital Denpasar."
Schapelle Corby Official Blog
"SCHAPELLE Corby feared she will be forgotten in the Indonesian jail in which she had been sentenced to serve 20 years, her sister said today.
Corby was sentenced in a Denpasar court on Friday after being convicted of smuggling 4.1kg of marijuana into the Indonesian resort island of Bali last year.
Corby's sister, Mercedes, says the 27-year-old former beauty therapy student is scared of being abandoned when the dust finally settles after Friday's verdict."
Schapelle Corby could have got a better result had there been less media hype, says a QC who may help with her appeal.
Barrister Tom Percy, QC, said he had no doubt the 27-year-old was innocent, and blamed the media circus for putting pressure on the case.
She accidentally stumbled into a criminal network when the drugs were slipped into her bag once it cleared security checks, to be collected by a worker at Sydney airport.
Schapelle was used a [drug] mule to in a racket of drug pushers and curupt bagage handlers. costing her freedom, possibly even her life." [1]
"Schapelle Corby has asked her family not to visit her in prison for at least a week, because she is worried about the impact the media presence is having on them.
Corby's lawyers say the Gold Coast woman is still in shock over the verdict against her."[2]
"SCHAPELLE Corby's defence team says she is not seeking a pardon from Indonesia's president, despite suggestions from Foreign Minister Alexander Downer that it could be her best bet of a lesser sentence.
The legal team said to do so would mean admitting to a crime she did not commit.
'The girl is not guilty,' said defence adviser Vasu Rasiah. 'How can she ask for a pardon?'
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said today that a pardon from President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono might be the best chance the 27-year-old Gold Coast woman had of having her 20-year prison sentence for drug smuggling reduced.
Corby fears fuel baggage protection | Business Breaking News | Breaking News 24/7 - NEWS.com.au (28-05-2005): "THOUSANDS of travellers passing through Australian airports weekly are having their luggage plastic wrapped in the wake of the Schapelle Corby furore.

"Analysts said the strong public reaction to the case would put strains on the relationship between Canberra and Jakarta, which has recently been boosted by Australia's 1 billion dollars (760 million US) in aid and a visit by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
'It's created an awkward situation for the Australian government, because it has to try to manage the public reaction in Australia while at the same time maintaining its encouragement for an independent judiciary in Indonesia,' University of Sydney Southeast Asia expert Edward Aspinall told AFP.
Malcolm Cook, an Asia analyst at Sydney think tank the Lowy Institute for International Policy said most Australians remained sceptical about Indonesia, and the Corby case could erode the goodwill generated in the wake of the December 26 tsunami disaster.
'There's a bedrock of opinion in Australia that has a very ambivalent attitude towards Indonesia and this will reinforce those stereotypes,' he told AFP. "

After this tragic sentence of Schapelle Corby, pain will disrupt the flow of goodwill between the two countries. A consequence of this is that a profitable market exchange will diminish. Indonesia will experience a market loss of some sort.
"0354 GMT [Dow Jones] Expect rise - at least in short term - in anti-Indonesia sentiment in Australia, which may complicate things for PM Howard, after Bali court finds Australian woman Schapelle Corby guilty of smuggling marijuana, sentences her to 20 years jail; Corby case has drawn massive interest in home country with polls showing most believed she was innocent, wanted government to intervene (though Jakarta can't tell its courts what to do). Indonesia/Australia ties have been often been frayed though things have warmed up since Yudhoyono elected; may now be fall in Australian tourists going to Bali in particular. Howard though had urged Australians to accept court's verdict, whatever it was.(RXM)"

"Shakespeare doesn't speak of astronomy as we know it in sonnet 14. He is referring to astrology, as the lines following 'astronomy' plainly show:
Shakespeare Sonnet 14
Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck,
And yet methinks I have astronomy,
But not to tell of good, or evil luck,
Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality,
Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell;
Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,
Or say with princes if it shall go well
By oft predict that I in heaven find.
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And constant stars in them I read such art
As truth and beauty shall together thrive
If from thy self, to store thou wouldst convert:
Or else of thee this I prognosticate,
Thy end is truth's and beauty's doom and date. "
