Australian apology

I would like to apologize for the actions of some radical Australians, who are reacting wrongly to Schapelle Corby's sentencing.

I am an Australian citizen and have no opinion of her guilt or innocence, but what I do know is she had a body board bag and it was an illegal substance.

I was not in the court room, I did not hear the witnesses or evidence. The Balinese court has found her guilty and she should go through the system as anyone else does.

I have visited Bali and found the people warm and friendly and loved my stay and would love to visit again. I hope this case does not influence people, Australian or Balinese, the wrong way.

Once again sorry for the stupid people who think they can take the law into their own hands.
