LEAVE CORBY IN BALI AND BUILD A SCHOOL, INSTEAD

I NOTICE the Australian Government is going ahead with an agreement
with Indonesia to allow Australian criminals in Indonesia to serve
their sentences in an Australian prison.

So what? I hear people say.

Consider this - it costs more than $60,000 per year to keep a
prisoner in an Australian prison.

If we were to bring Schapelle Corby back to Australia with her 18
years to serve, at $60,000 minimum, that's about $1.1million.

It would build a nice school wouldn't it or staff a hospital ward or
fund a lot of hospital operations.

There are a lot of Australian criminals over there, drug
traffickers, pedophiles, so just imagine how many Australians will
miss out on operations or hospital beds or kids' classrooms so we
can import criminals to a comfortable Australian prison.

I hope we wake up and make the Government spend the money for the
good of Australians and not on criminal scum.
