Get to the REAL suppliers. You don't hear much about them do you?
LOOK INTO IT, and stop being a simpleton.

It is nothing to do with "one of us". No one gets the death penalty in Australia any more, and it was a long hard fight to achieve that.
It stands as a monument of our culture and it will not be changed back again. It does not matter how bad is the crime in Australia, the nation is not brought down to the same level by officially killing someone.

We are a humanitarian people. Most countries are not.

LOOK IT UP IN THE DICTIONARY - HUMANITARIAN;

The 'real suppliers' or in this case the people fronting the money and hiring the drug mules......are in the next cells on Death Row in Indonesia...

He was pretty silly. Last time he appealed he got the death penalty.
He should have shut his mouth and taken his punishment.

Yes, but I see not distinction between the mules and the pushers. They should all get exactly the same sentence. Renae lawrence should be facing the DP too, or none of them.

I agree, I would see all of them executed.

Some of you are inhumanly simplistic in your judgments.
Well it’s easy to do when your life is not in jeopardy.
He is a young man, naturally with strong desire to live so it’s not easy for him to accept an eminent execution.
Buddha says that desire is a cause for all suffering; I wouldn’t exclude arrogance as well.

"Pushers". I love that term. It brings up images of shady characters approaching you from a dark alley and saying stuff like "'ere luv, best you be trying some of this" when the reality is that the only "pushers" - i.e. the ones who urge people to try drugs - are invariably a person's friends or friends of friends and not actually somebody within the drug trade.

Are we? A quick look through our history at the treatment of Indigenous Australians and refugees puts the lie to that.

You are correct he is a young man.

You seem to however missed out the bit where he is a convicted drugs traffiker.

They haven't just picked a young man off the street here you know....

He walked past SIX signs at Dengpasar Airport which state "DEATH PENALTY FOR DRUG TRAFFIKING"

Now is he registered blind?

the punishment does not fit the crime.
hate to be a c^nt, but indonesia should be nuked from the air.
after, of course, all aussie's are retrieved.
then those aussie's should be rewarded here for exceptionally good taste in subverting indo law.
these ppl are monkeys.
i'm really gonna be politically out of line here in saying "bomb the hell out of 'em."
you may be aware by now that i hate the ppl (ie:the gov't) and their politics.
xxx,
j.

Does the punishment for child abusers in Australia fit their crime? What about rapists?

I've heard so many people on this forum whining about immigrants and tourists respecting our laws when coming to Australia - it's hypocritical to suggest something different for us when we visit other countries.

I hope Rush's death sentence is overturned, but it's ridiculous to argue that he's a victim here.

When I worked as a Nurse, I watched many kids come in after having strokes from Drugs. Half their sides gone limp and the only hope they had was because they were young and could eventually recover after 5 years. Most died though. Old people hardly ever recover from a stroke, but they ain't gonna put their faith in a Drug Pusher.

Drug dealers/pushers should die from Lethal Injection ...I would gladly support the execution of someone who has probably killed thousands around the world.
I don't give a rats arse if he considers himself an 'Aussie' - to me, he ain't no AUSSIE, he's a Cancer that needs to be annihilated !

KILL HIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The punishment in this case certainly does not fit the crime, but that doesn't mean that I necessarily care about this guy. Annie is correct that he is scum, but he is also idiotic scum; the Indonenesians are actually doing us a favour eliminating him from our gene pool.

So can life sentences. Like being locked up for the rest of your life and being raped every few weeks and then dying in your cell an innocent man is exactly a great thing to happen to you either. Asking for a perfect system of dispensing justice simply cannot be done.

Especially in prison systems like Indonesia's. Jail time hasn't exactly been a cakewalk for Shapelle Corby.
