Aren't Australian citizens outraged by this? |
My bet is on largely apathetic. |
Realistic, more like. I think most Australians believe that Corby is innocent and would expect the Australian government to do everything possible to ensure that she is released. However, taking military action against Indonesia to get Corby out of Bali is La-La Land stuff. This isn't a Schwarzenegger movie or a video game.

There is actually something to this. At the beginning of this little saga the Australian Government was not all that keen to do more than absolutely necessary. However, domestic pressure have caused the Government to change it's tune - for example, an Australian drug smuggler was allowed to testify on Corby's behalf (to try to support the defence case that Corby was the victim of a stuff-up). A few months ago this would not have occurred.
