Payback Time

A mystery "biological agent" was delivered to the Indonesian embassy in Canberra this week - presumably a little thank you to Indonesia for convicting Schapelle Corby of drug smuggling.

Corby is appealing her conviction, but Indonesia's legal system has a game show quality to it. She can appeal, but so can the prosecution, so while she's trying to argue for a lighter sentence or an acquittal, the prosecution will be arguing for a tougher sentence, including the death penalty. So she could end up worse off than she is now.
