National days of protest? Prime Ministers expressing sorrow? People demanding refunds on their tsunami donations? All because a young woman was convicted of drug smuggling and sentenced to 20 years!
Where are the national days of protest about other injustices around the world? China's conduct in Tibet for the past 50 years, for example. 12- and 14-year old Australian Vietnamese jailed in Vietnam for another. People dying from starvation whilst fat Westerners buy the latest weight loss pills....
Why isn't John Howard sorry for all the other convicted prisoners sentenced to long or life terms in prisons around the country and world?
And since when did charity come with strings attached?
