nothing would surprise me...
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/drug-smuggler-schapelle-corbys-opulent...THE Corby family is fast becoming Australia’s more garish version of the Kardashians,
pointedly posting their every move since Schapelle’s deportation from Indonesia on social media.The convicted drug smuggler’s sister, Mercedes, on Sunday night provided the latest instalment,
publishing an snap of three full flutes and a bottle of French bubbly to Instagram.“After resting up its [sic] finally time to cheers,” Mercedes captioned. “Then looking forward to a good nights [sic] sleep! Love you family and friends, so blessed … #cheers.”
Schapelle opened an Instagram account in the final hours of her deportation following a well-documented jail sentence, and has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers since.
She and relatives have documented everything from deportation, to cat-and-mouse with the media at the airport and now Veuve — a step-up from Bali cocktail buckets surely.
Corby’s VIP treatment on her much-hyped return home
has already drawn attention with expensive plane tickets, flash cars and a lavish hotel all part of her carefully-planned arrival into Australia.
The 39-year-old’s
expensive business class seats home, followed by her heavily-guarded arrival into Brisbane’s International Airport flanked by a hoard of security, then the escorting of her via a motorcade of [highlight[/highlight]black vans put her back in the spotlight yet again.
It is understood she remains in
luxury accommodation at a lavish five-star inner-city Brisbane hotel and has left some wondering who funded this expensive return down under.
Corby kept close to her sister and long-time supporter Mercedes on her journey back home, updating a newly-opened social media account on Instagram of her movements.
Originally due to catch a late-night flight out of Bali on Virgin Airlines on Saturday night Australian time, she made a last-minute decision to swap flights and confuse awaiting media who had also booked the same flight.
She took upfront row seats in the business class section of smaller and less-known airline Malinda Air.
It is understood the 11-hour decision to change flights was to avoid the dozens of awaiting media who also booked on the same flight and for the safety of passengers and crew on-board the Virgin flight.
Business-class flights on Virgin from Denpasar to Brisbane can cost more than $1500, while for Malinda Air they can be around $650.
On Mercedes Corby’s Instagram feed she posted a picture boasting of her Row 1 seats — prime position on any flight.
It remains unclear who paid for the business-class seats and whether the Corby family paid for them themselves.
Her arrival back into Queensland yesterday morning was similar to that of high-profile rockstars arriving into the sunshine state’s capital — she avoided the waiting media packs at the international terminal and instead was whisked away by at least multiple elaborate black vans that were waiting for her.
we are one sick nation..
