Or just co-incidence? Anyway, I saw Vanstone saying she felt sorry for Schapelle, being locked up and all. Geez, Amanda....at least she got a trial.

The SMH site have crossed through the sentence below now that Alex has denied connection. He claims police are investigating - I await the outcome with eagerness. Perhaps Young Labor President Sam Dastyari is actaully responsible? (I have no basis for that) From the article: Yesterday, the national president of the Young Liberals, Alex Hawke, said the Leader of the Opposition, Kim Beazley, was "not doing much" to help Corby, and enraged the moderator of online support forum dontshootschapelle.com by posting the following comment: "If you want to really make a difference, join the Liberal Party - the only party working to make sure Schapelle gets justice."
