Locking up the whole family of screeching Queensland hill-billies for 20 years would probably be a good idea, however a country that can display such a massive discrepancy in sentences for dope smuggling and proven terrorist activities needs a short sharp shock.
Withdraw trade
withdraw aid (except direct aid where Australian soldiers and aid workers distribute DIRECTLY to those in need)
withdraw funding
and stop training their bloody armed forces!
They said Iraq needed regime change... I can think of somewhere a lot closer that needs it. (not just here in australia:))
who cares ?
Judging by the media attention and letters written by the general australian public a lot of fucking people.

In April 2003 Indonesian authorities charged Abu Bakar Bashir with treason. It was alleged that he tried to overthrow the government and set up an Islamic state. The specific charges related to a series of church bombings in 2000, and to a plot to bomb United States interests in Singapore. He was initially not charged over the Bali attack, although he was frequently accused of being the instigator or inspirer of the attack. On 2 September Bashir was acquitted of treason but convicted of lesser charges and sentenced to four years prison. He said he would appeal. On October 15, 2004, he was arrested by the Indonesian authorities and charged with involvement in another bomb attack, which killed 14 people at a hotel in Jakarta on August 5, 2003. Secondary charges in this indictment accused him of involvement in the Bali bombing, the first time he faced charges in relation to this attack. On March 3, 2005, Bashir was found not guilty of the charges surrounding the 2003 bomb, but guilty of conspiracy over the 2002 attacks in Bali. He was sentenced to two and a half years imprisonment. The Australian government expressed its disappointment that the sentence was too short.
On 30 April 2003, the first charges related to the Bali bombings were made against Amrozi bin Haji Nurhasyim, known as Amrozi, for allegedly buying the explosives and the van used in the bombings. On 8 August he was found guilty and sentenced to death by shooting. Another participant in the bombing, Imam Samudra, was sentenced to death on 10 September. Amrozi's brother, Ali Imron, who had expressed remorse for his part in the bombing, was sentenced to life imprisonment on 18 September. A fourth accused, Mukhlas, was sentenced to death on 1 October. All those convicted have said they will appeal.
The Australian government expressed its satisfaction with the speed and efficiency with which the Indonesian police and courts dealt with the Bali bombing. All Australian jurisdictions abolished the death penalty more than 30 years ago, but a poll showed that 55% of Australians approved of the death sentences in the Bali cases. The Australian government said it would not ask Indonesia to refrain from using the death penalty.
On 15 August Riduan Isamuddin, generally known as Hambali, described as the operational chief of Jemaah Islamiyah and as al-Qaeda's "point man" in south-east Asia, was arrested in Bangkok. He is believed to be in American custody in Jordan and has not been charged in relation to the Bali bombing. It was reported that the United States is reluctant to hand Hambali over to Indonesian authorities in light of the lenient sentence given to Abu Bakar Bashir.

No, www.news.com are saying that she's being voted one of Australia's sexiest women. Worse could be Mercedes actually getting that title. Maybe its a fettish thing for a woman behind bars...

Is this (http://www.news.com.au/poll/display/1,10273,5001661--1,00.html) the poll you're referring to?
Doesn't look too convincing to me.

Here's the latest on the poll:
1570 (28%) Yes, she's a hottie
3915 (71%) No, I don't find her attractive
That means that 1570 people probably shouldn't have driving licences for sight impairment reasons. At least nearly 4,000 people can see she's not.
What do Farkiner's reckon? Top prize at the local meat-market nightclub?
