Well Well Well, one rule for some, different for others.

I wonder, is it different if your dad is a policeman?

Ms Bishop has done a good job here. I wonder why the parents of other drug traffickers, who said it wasn't their drugs, didn't get the same help?

But she may actually be innocent?

Although i do wonder what kind of an idiot goes travelling with a guy they met on a dating app

[azureline**]

She may well be innocent, however, the drugs were in "their" luggage.

The other Australians in foreign prisons may also have been innocent. We will never know.

First time I've ever seen the government step in and rescue someone accused of any crime. Yet Peter Gresta is still in gaol for not committing any crime. Just a blatant display of what your tax dollars can get if you have the right friends

The Government steps in all the time.

The difference is the Gov't has stated that they will do what they normally do BUT it is not a free service embassy / consular staff are required because of your own actions / stupidity. ie a bill comes with it.

This is because so many idiots get into trouble OS.

I don't really care, I'm just glad she's home.

I do think that the government should have done everything humanly possible to get those journalists released though.

At lot more goes on behind the scenes than they let on, for obvious reasons.

As much as we don't agree with some "judicial processes" in other countries, we can't just willy nilly stick our nose in

and demand the release of someone. It would set a dangerous precendant.

Totally Agree

Perhaps the journalists should have worked for a different company.
