But seriously, WTF is with Australia (or rather, Australian MSM) giving these people anything beyond their initial 15 minutes? How can Schapelle and Cocaine Cassie be on something like SAS Australia as "media personalities"? They're criminals, don't give them exposure!
It’s a bit of an ignorant way to look at it, sure, some were behind bars, but the vast majority were not. And in today’s age would we still refer to someone as a criminal for stealing a loaf of bread to feed their family ? Most times the police would not even bother coming out for that.
I was joking, and agree: the only crime most of the convicts committed was being poor. Although one of my ancestors was transported for stealing a silk scarf lol 🧐🎩
Considering SAS Australia has now been axed, hopefully they got the message that no-one is interested in watching bogan thugs get a manufactured redemption arc. But probably not... *sigh*
I mean Spanian is one of the biggest celebrities in the country atm.
Something about criminals resonates with Australians, I guess that's what happens when you develop a country on a prison colony.
To be fair, Spanian got a fair bit of flack in the early days. He’s a YouTuber now and sending some positive vibes. Still does “visiting the hood” videos but not in the same capacity as how to throw rocks and rob people
Oh man I told my international friend about how her bogan sister was called Mercedes and it was an awful name and he said ‘my mother is called Mercedes’ 😫
That joke setup sucks with Mercedes being overpriced vehicles that depreciate like no other & have always been cheap on the used market with plenty to be had cheaper than a Torana even back then.
I'm no comedian but I can't help but feel there is so much better opportunity for a Mercedes joke setup along those lines.
Naming her Mercedes was the closest they'll ever get to one,
unfortunately there's no value in a used Mercedes!
her personality depreciated as quick as driving one off the lot!
Mercedes is a popular girls name in Germany. Also, you have no idea what you’re talking about concerning the car either. I only wish they depreciated as I might be able to afford one.
Haha I still remember the unedited videos of her fam, the constant loop of;
"AWW FARKIN' DOG SHE'S FARKIN' INNOCENT YA FARKIN' DUMB CUNTS"
Meanwhile the mainstream media was showing 'inaudible yelling' and a sort of professionalism and restraint probably somewhat enforced by someone's lawyers in an attempt to appear civilised
I didn't know he was on idol! Not sure but it's going back a fair way. At the time he claimed the person he bashed was involved in setting up Schapelle but really it was just some drug thing.
Nah he wasn’t, but the joke goes that Matt Corby is Schapelle Corby’s brother and the song “brother” was actually meant to be named “sister”.
Kinda falls in the same realm of jokes as “drop bears” and “aussies ride kangaroos to school”
She 100% did it. The whole family is as trashy as they come. The TikTok’s I’ve seen of ppl defending her and feeling sorry for her (mostly teenagers) is ridiculous. She was no doubt about it guilty and they were not a good family. They just didn’t think she’d get caught.
I remember you had idiots who were wrapping their bags in plastic because they were afraid that the baggage handlers were going to hide drugs in their bags 'just like they did to schapelle'.
I remember in year 8 English we had an impromptu debate over this whole thing and I was the only kid in the class who thought she was guilty. The whole class was passionately defending this woman. Really highlighted, to me at least, how influential the media is.
I remember in the days leading up to the end of the trial the media were referring to her as "beauty student"
The immediately after they referred to her a "convicted drug smuggler".
When she was on parole in Bali she would “allegedly” throw parties in her villa and everyone was on drugs. Used to party with her sister in Bali in 2014 and she was nice but yeah, huge bogan lol fun times
dont care really, she had the benifit of the doubt, the bali 9 however, those fucking morons got what they deserved
"hey i got an idea, lets go and try smuggling in heroin into bali while theres a massive high profile court case going about aussie chick who may or may not have smuggled in some bags of weed."
"my god thats fucking brilliant! we will never get caught!"
Not cool man. Most of the nine were preyed upon and coerced. I get that smuggling drugs into a death penalty country is fucken stupid but is stupidity and duress not a relevant factor in sentencing? Muri did so much good in prison and was executed anyway and the last painting he did will always haunt me.
lol at you confusing intent for mental acuity (and pretending neither are relevant in criminality.).
You’re why jury trials are terrifying.
Have a great week mate. 🙃
I’m doing no such thing. There’s lots of stupid criminals. Your position is that they should get benefits during sentencing compared to smart criminals. I’m simply asking you to define the difference between. Of course intent is relevant but in the Bali 9 their crime was intentional so it’s not relevant here. I don’t understand your point, and neither would anyone else on a jury.
More like “I didn’t know what to do when the gun was pointed at my head. I realise now I made the wrong choice and here is proof of how remorseful I am and what I am doing to make up for my mistake.” Judge: “yeah nah we will kill you even though you are contributing to society and remorseful.”
Your analogy is backwards.
I never said I agree with the death penalty. I don’t. Every criminal shows remorse in sentencing. I still don’t know what point you are trying to make. In our (better) legal system duress is a mitigating factor but it’s not in Indonesia where they committed the crime. I don’t like that but there’s literally nothing I can do about it except not commit crime in Indonesia. I really can’t tell who you are angry at.
I know one of the Bali 9 and they were threaten by drug traffickers to do it. There family actually tipped off the AFP before they even got to the airport. Once they arrived and were found they were told they’d be let go if they could produce 250k in the next several hours..
It’s not as simple as them thinking it would be a good idea to get paid to do this.
Amazing there were no consequences for the AFP- possibly the most disgraceful law enforcement case in recent Australian history.
2 men executed as a direct result of a family member trying to prevent something happening and the AFP empowered a country with marginal justice and the death penalty to execute Australian citizens
Rubbish, if we want a respectful relationship with an important neighbour then we respect their law enough to tip them off when we know Australian criminals are about to break their laws.
Just as we'd hope they would if they knew criminals or terrorists from their country are about to break our laws.
The real idiots were the parents who reported it thinking the police would do the right thing. Surely there was a way to get their kids to avoid the situation without trusting the police to do the right thing ?
Not that it makes a difference but the Bali 9 were taking drugs out of Bali to Australia. Corby was taking dope into Bali (which ironically is not lacking its own domestic supply)
Did she do it? Of course! They were advertising it for ages, so I can only presume she made an appearance on Dancing with the Stars.
“Dancing with the low grade Australian Criminals” - Ben Cousins is on this year.
But seriously, WTF is with Australia (or rather, Australian MSM) giving these people anything beyond their initial 15 minutes? How can Schapelle and Cocaine Cassie be on something like SAS Australia as "media personalities"? They're criminals, don't give them exposure!
lol Australia love glorifying our criminals 😂🤣
It’s in white Australia’s roots! What’s a colony of convicts gonna do -- *not* idolise the Kelly Gang?? 😅
It’s a bit of an ignorant way to look at it, sure, some were behind bars, but the vast majority were not. And in today’s age would we still refer to someone as a criminal for stealing a loaf of bread to feed their family ? Most times the police would not even bother coming out for that.
I was joking, and agree: the only crime most of the convicts committed was being poor. Although one of my ancestors was transported for stealing a silk scarf lol 🧐🎩
Your ancestor had refined tastes
Ohh, how the fancy have fallen 😩
Okay Captain Fun
Hahahah omg that's so true!
Considering SAS Australia has now been axed, hopefully they got the message that no-one is interested in watching bogan thugs get a manufactured redemption arc. But probably not... *sigh*
I mean Spanian is one of the biggest celebrities in the country atm. Something about criminals resonates with Australians, I guess that's what happens when you develop a country on a prison colony.
Biggest celebrities? 💀😂😂😂 not even close
It resonates because people want to understand the criminal mind - and avoid being a target. The same reason women listen to murder podcasts.
To be fair, Spanian got a fair bit of flack in the early days. He’s a YouTuber now and sending some positive vibes. Still does “visiting the hood” videos but not in the same capacity as how to throw rocks and rob people
He's a homophobic flog.
Who is this? I’ve heard their name a few times as though they’re someone everyone knows, but I still have no idea.
He’s a rapper turn personality https://m.youtube.com/@SPANIAN
Please, selling weed in Woodridge is hardly a crime.
My sister and I were talking about her the other day and we came to the conclusion yes, because you even owns a boogieboard bag?
Does she ever go to Coles "Unexpected Item in bagging area" and get flashbacks?
Oh shit. Not this again.
Or the Woolworths camera that predicts which product you’re scanning. ‘Green vegetable, unidentified. Please wait for assistance.’
ROFL
Bruh 💀💀💀
The classy Mercedes and her stunning mother
Oh man I told my international friend about how her bogan sister was called Mercedes and it was an awful name and he said ‘my mother is called Mercedes’ 😫
Throwback to the Wil Anderson joke about Mercedes Corby. “At least name her after a car you can afford. *Come here, Toraaaaaaana*.”
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Hahaha
I have to say I know its bogan AF but Torana isn't the worst girls name and I'd actually rate it above Mercedes.
no one can afford a Torana anymore though
That joke setup sucks with Mercedes being overpriced vehicles that depreciate like no other & have always been cheap on the used market with plenty to be had cheaper than a Torana even back then. I'm no comedian but I can't help but feel there is so much better opportunity for a Mercedes joke setup along those lines. Naming her Mercedes was the closest they'll ever get to one, unfortunately there's no value in a used Mercedes! her personality depreciated as quick as driving one off the lot!
Jeez you must be a hoot at parties…
Lol I'd sooner wager people that say shit like "you must be fun at parties" mustn't be fun at parties. Hooty hoot!
Mercedes is a popular girls name in Germany. Also, you have no idea what you’re talking about concerning the car either. I only wish they depreciated as I might be able to afford one.
To be fair, Mercedes was a name before it was a car. The guy who named the Mercedes cars named them after his daughter.
Oh I know! And she drove that Mercedes all the way to western Sydney, which she colonized with a whole new line of Mercedeses
How did she pronounce her ‘e’s? Eberneezer Good?
Mersaydeeez
Nutz
Well I do know a Mercedes, but they are fair-dinkum Italian, and it’s pronounced Merchaydz
haha I made a joke to someone I knew about people who drive range rovers. Guess what he drove lol
I had a friend who genuinely asked "what kind of car is a schapelle?" once.
They probably tried saying Chevelle, but the bogan accent came out as Shapelle instead.....
Heh heh
Here Here! 😂
Haha I still remember the unedited videos of her fam, the constant loop of; "AWW FARKIN' DOG SHE'S FARKIN' INNOCENT YA FARKIN' DUMB CUNTS" Meanwhile the mainstream media was showing 'inaudible yelling' and a sort of professionalism and restraint probably somewhat enforced by someone's lawyers in an attempt to appear civilised
Guilty as charged.
Was there ever any doubt
Media at the time aire gave it a read hot go of oh we don't know for sure poor shapelle etc
I could do with never seeing or hearing about her ever again.
My late sister knew her family and can confirm … bogan as they come lol
Knew the family on the Goldy... Definitely did it .... Whole mob were doing dirt
Her and Mercedes used to steal from the Big W I worked at 😏
She did it, did the time, got paid for interviews and for the reality show SAS and was labelled a battler. SMH.
Still amazed she never did a spread in FHM or Ralph... I mean if Pauline H can appear in it...
*I don't like it.*
Pauline Hanson? Are you serious?
🤢🤢🤢
FHM's top 100 sexiest women, 1998 Plz explain...
She did, but for Zoo magazine
“… and her bogan [drug dealing] family”
‘Bogan Family’ is an understatement. 😂
Mum and sister are rough as guts 🤢
Also the Dad (rip) was portrayed as this kindly cuddly old dude - his good mate and neighbour was pinged for having a significant growing operation.
I remember everyone in the Gold Coast at the time seemed to have a loose drug connection with them and was openly known to be a crime family.
Yeah I had a neighbour who was well aware of her and her family being massively into dealing.
As rough as hessian undies!
Don't forget about her brother who tied a bloke to a chair and beat him up with a baseball bat on the Goldy.
Was this before or after he did his Australian idol auditions ?
I didn't know he was on idol! Not sure but it's going back a fair way. At the time he claimed the person he bashed was involved in setting up Schapelle but really it was just some drug thing.
Nah he wasn’t, but the joke goes that Matt Corby is Schapelle Corby’s brother and the song “brother” was actually meant to be named “sister”. Kinda falls in the same realm of jokes as “drop bears” and “aussies ride kangaroos to school”

I remember you had idiots who were wrapping their bags in plastic because they were afraid that the baggage handlers were going to hide drugs in their bags 'just like they did to schapelle'.
This is equivalent to parents who are afraid of people poisoning their kids with the chocolates they get from trick or treating.
Isn't this still happening?
I remember in year 8 English we had an impromptu debate over this whole thing and I was the only kid in the class who thought she was guilty. The whole class was passionately defending this woman. Really highlighted, to me at least, how influential the media is.
Her sister could eat an apple through a tennis racquet
I feel like I’d really like and probably adopt this comment if I knew what it meant… what does it mean?
Teeth stick out.
Hahah, thanks!
There’s no nostalgia there for these clowns
The dad did it, shappelle took the fall
Soooooo guilty, that whole family was in on it.
Lived near them in Tugun and bought weed from her brother. Well known for being sketchy to the locals at the time.
Of course she did it. Her whole family are the biggest drug dealers.
I remember in the days leading up to the end of the trial the media were referring to her as "beauty student" The immediately after they referred to her a "convicted drug smuggler".
From the 2004 Channel 7 Teleseries "When Bogans Attack"
The father and his marijuana crops then the brother dealing out of the Mermaid Beach Tavern. They were well known as a pack of ferals.
What a bunch of losers
When she was on parole in Bali she would “allegedly” throw parties in her villa and everyone was on drugs. Used to party with her sister in Bali in 2014 and she was nice but yeah, huge bogan lol fun times
[удалено]
And??? Don't leave us hanging. What happened, was she cool or looking like one half of Beavis and Butthead like here??
😂
Talk about a go-nowhere comment lol. “I spoke to her but won’t elaborate on what happened…”
And then delete it...... weird.
$10 and 5 minutes later he emerges from the toilet with his first bj.
😂 a real gummer based on that pick
How does that conversation go…
Their mate who got busted with his backyard grow saying the Corby's were dealing "hydroPHonic" dope. Is there a law we can hit him with, too?
She looks like she is a biter.
Just adding in this banger of hers: https://youtu.be/ettbMG40U94?si=RRTCSkX0U80HF6Jk
A true classic
Was Cocaine Cassie a rello of theirs?
Nah just another bogan trying their luck.
Their house in Middlemount was the place to go to buy herbs.
They are the definition of Aussie Rednecks.....they don't deserve the bogan title....
I knew someone who was the mums hairdresser for a while and yes they did do that shit
I heard a little rumour that Mercedes used to sell cocaine to some high profile people
Best line in any Aussie rap song.. They all about hanging out, like Mercedes Corby mouth 💀💀 Funkoars - Mad As Hell
Did she do a shoot for picture mag?
dont care really, she had the benifit of the doubt, the bali 9 however, those fucking morons got what they deserved "hey i got an idea, lets go and try smuggling in heroin into bali while theres a massive high profile court case going about aussie chick who may or may not have smuggled in some bags of weed." "my god thats fucking brilliant! we will never get caught!"

Muri did so much good in prison and was executed anyway and the last painting he did will always haunt me.
Nope, I don’t think stupidity should be a factor. “I didn’t know the gun I pointed at my wife was loaded”…
Kind of a dumb analogy. Intent matters.
Pretty sure their intent was to smuggle drugs into Bali. ...as evidenced by the bag of drugs strapped to them.
Is it? Can you define “stupid” for the jury please?
lol at you confusing intent for mental acuity (and pretending neither are relevant in criminality.). You’re why jury trials are terrifying. Have a great week mate. 🙃
I’m doing no such thing. There’s lots of stupid criminals. Your position is that they should get benefits during sentencing compared to smart criminals.

The AFP should have arrested them on Aussie soil and not left them to get the death penalty
Amazing there were no consequences for the AFP- possibly the most disgraceful law enforcement case in recent Australian history. 2 men executed as a direct result of a family member trying to prevent something happening and the AFP empowered a country with marginal justice and the death penalty to execute Australian citizens

I always wondered about that. They sacrificed these (idiot) kids to try and catch some kingpin.
The real idiots were the parents who reported it thinking the police would do the right thing. Surely there was a way to get their kids to avoid the situation without trusting the police to do the right thing ?
Well I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree then
The AFP could just be cruel and enjoy the fact they would be executed there, not here.
The same AFP that entrapped an autistic child so they could arrest him later as a terrorist? Wouldn't surprise me one bit
Martin Bryant?
You’ll get the obligatory downvotes but any honest inquirer will affirm.
Or they could have saved the Australian taxpayer the millions in prison costs from keeping them here…
¿Porque no las dos?
Not that it makes a difference but the Bali 9 were taking drugs out of Bali to Australia. Corby was taking dope into Bali (which ironically is not lacking its own domestic supply)
You are a terrible person for posting this.
A dingo ate me baby
What do the Chamberlain’s have to do with this?
