Australians all let us rejoice, for
Schapelle Corby, Ostraya's own People's Princess,
is to be released on parole, after serving nine years of a 15-year sentence in an Indonesian prison. Corby became a cause celebre of bogan Australia after being arrested in 2005 for smuggling 4.2 kilograms of prime weed into Bali in a boogie-board case (which, of course, makes her a "legend"). This happened at around the time of the Asian tsunami, and resulted, among other things, in true-blue Aussie bogans across the country angrily withdrawing their tsunami relief donations, on the grounds that if the Asians are going to lock up One Of Us (especially one who's a hot chick), well, fuck Asia then. Also, if you were wondering about the sprinkling of eight-year-old Schapelles across the primary-school classrooms of today's suburban Australia, alongside the ubiquitous Jaydens and Kaydens and suburban kids whose faux-biblical names were imported from America with Oakley Thumps, Jersey Shore and gangsta EDM, there's your answer.
I'm not sure that Corby has been popular for years. In any case she won't be for long, because Andrew Bolt at Murdoch's Herald Sun has told Australia not to like her: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/bogan-criminals-are-not-heroes/story-fni0ffxg-1226821944642
