I'm not being apathetic towards the public.... the reasons I cited are the reasons why the Schapelle Corby Show is a ratings winner. The case may be different in parts of Sydney, but a lot of Australians live in fairly monocultural communities.... you only have to look at the support for One Nation back in the Hanson days. How many people buy mags like New Idea/NW/Woman's Day.... how many people watch the Channel 9 Schapelle verdict show and think that it is balanced coverage of the issue.... how many people think that detention centres are a top idea.... how many people have you heard call the Indonesian justice system "backward" lately....
The large majority of white Australians still hold colonial notions of power and the supremacy of our way of life over other ways of life.
