Indonesia's justice minister will sign Schapelle Corby's parole application in the next three days.
Do you think they'll sign?

The spoiled fish may have been caused by the fisherman.. too long before it was taken to a restaraunt for them to refrigerate?
NSW Health manager:
Scombroid food poisoning is caused by eating fish with toxic levels of histamine, which are triggered by inadequate refrigeration and cannot be reversed by cooking.
"The spoilage of the fish happens straight after the fish has been caught if it's not refrigerated properly," Ms Musto said.
"It's more common when fish is caught by recreational fishermen or when refrigeration isn't available."
Fish that smells old or off should not be consumed, as it could present a risk of scombroid poisoning.
Scombroid poisoning can be differentiated from other types of food poisoning by its rapid onset; diners usually feel ill 30 minutes after eating spoiled fish.
Symptoms include flushing of the upper body, dizziness, a peppery or metallic taste in the mouth, diarrhoea, and tingling and numbness in fingers, toes and around the mouth.

I am not fussed whether she gets out/is allowed to return to Australia soon or many years later.
I don't see anything suspicious with the mother and daughter. Toxic fish (nothing to do with how it was cooked) and reaction to mothers migraine pills and asthma, toxic reaction to fish and daughters asthma.
Was listening to a dr on the radio today, the particular fish they ate, if not refrigerated properly, releases a bacteria. It's not killed off by freezing or cooking and it undetectable. It releases histamines, which considering they had asthma medication with them, very sad accidental deaths.
there are some spore forming bacteria (usually related to clostridium botuli though)

but both their asthma and the type of FP was apparently "mild"... and blood tests would be able to determine the amount of histimine in the blood stream, so why only the claim it is the "likely" cause,

Who said they're mild? The amount of medications in the room boggled my mind, who takes that much with them overseas? Or has them at home. The "likely" is the reporters words. And a third case indicates that the restaurant has an issue with storing raw foods.

and now there is a third case?

It wasn't that vague. Their family are satisfied with the report. They are pleased the tests were done in Australia.
I'm sorry, but I believe it was vague. That's my opinion.

This man? Ronan Fitzgerald from SA?
2 Feb
An Australian man has died after being found unconscious in a Bali restaurant, local police say
....Unspecified medicines from Australia were found in his room, Mr Nyoman said.
The body is now at Sanglah hospital, waiting for autopsy, pending his parents' approval.
"Since there was no trauma found externally and because of his history of heart condition (according to his parents), we would understand if the parents decided against an autopsy."
Mr Nyoman said he had spoken to the doctor who had told him it was possible that, because of Fitzgerald's heart condition, when he vomited, it had gone into his respiratory pathway instead and choked him.

I didn't think of the fishermen being responsible for the refrigeration issue. Quite possible.

True. It is my opinion that the article about the results weren't vague.
What do you think authorities could be hiding by giving vague results?

First, the cough*results*cough of that mother/daughter deaths (willing to bet all the money in my pocket that there is stuff in that we're (being the general public) not being told), and now a possible release for Ms Corby?
Why bother with the added coughs?

"This is just a one in a million - one in a billion - thing to happen," he said.
and yet it happened twice.....
and "could have made no difference" is very different to didn't make a difference" That's just damage control for the restaurant.
anyway, not playing with semantics, I'll leave that to the journos.
But science doesn't generally work with non specifics, semantics and normative statements.

I think it is coincidence that the results from the mother & daughter were available for release, in the same week Schapelle is expected to get good news about her release.
