I think she is guilty but I haven't really got a problem with her profiting from it. It's not like she went into it to become rich and famous, it's all been beaten up by the media who make more out of it selling advertising space at a premium than she ever would.

Proceeds of crime act 2002
The proceeds of crime act is detailed here:
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/poca2002160/s153.html
In Summary:
(3A) If the offence is a * foreign indictable offence, then a * benefit is not treated as * literary proceeds unless the benefit is derived in * Australia or transferred to Australia.
So if she doesn't transfer the money to australia then it is ok.
If it isn't derived in Australia (since she won't be paid in Australia, but in Bali and the interview will be done in Bali)
So i don't think the proceeds of crime act will apply. She will have probably spent all the money before she returns to autralia anyway.

I reckon it's more than $80ph 24/7 for 9 years and there's plenty of roses and frangipani's in Kerobokan prison. Her sister Mercedes will be holding the cash for her so it shouldn't affect any laws dealing with proceeds of crime.
Does she get 9.25% super on that?
$6 Million / 356 days / 9 years / 24 hours = $78 per hour (it's a tad less because there's 365 days in a year)
She is a drug dealer going to get millions for her story,what a joke the media makes her out to be somebody important she is a no body,as she is a criminal government should not allow her to receive any endorsements ,I feel she has served enough time but give her nothing for her ******** story.
Dex said earlier in the thread four times that amount (ie, $1.5M), because of donations towards appeals, and lawsuits she's won.
That's because lawyers cost nothing and all of that money goes into her pocket.
I'd be surprised if she ends up with much at all.
the only other job i know that you get paid for while sleeping is the oldest profession too
You know "sleeping together" doesn't actually mean sleeping, right?
Corby wont make the millions, it will be her sister, she is playing the media for all she can get.
Latest I heard was she was getting groomed to become a model...... I am not kidding, who knows, there may be some money in that angle
, I am sure she will work it real hardCorby wont make the millions, it will be her sister, she is playing the media for all she can get.

Mercedes? She was already in Ralph. Wasnt shy of the media when she was getting paid to show some skin.
She's been released from prison.
She's not free though... in either sense of the word.
Which I suspect is good money for a beauty therapist.
With any luck she will remain in Bali - indefinitely. Good for them. And good for us too.
She could become the Australian version of Ronnie Biggs back when he was living it up in Brazil and UK tourists would seek him out so they could see the sights with Ronnie as their guide (only she will be legally free in a couple of years).
One more thing... Channel 7 - I've been in NZ now for over 9 years... I have some parking tickets and speeding fines to my name, hell I even had the IRD take me to court once (ooooo). Where's my $2m you tightwads?!
I, for one, feel really sorry for her.
What possessed the mum to call her 'Schapelle'?
