This is being described as her strongest support yet to have her sentence cut drastically. Corby has spent 6 years in Bali’s Kerobokan prison after she was arrested for smuggling more than 4kgs of marijuana in her boogie board bag.

Before her fateful trip to Bali Schapelle was a Gold Coast beauty school student. More recently, she turned 33 and has asked for clemency from the Indonesian President, saying she was suffering from depression that could endanger her life.

Corby maintains she was an unwitting drug courier and blames baggage handlers for putting the drugs in her bag. She has publicly said she would never admit guilt, which is usually required to receive a presidential pardon.

Her lawyer Iskandar Nawing has said he hasn’t heard from the courts, but that Corby is mentally ill and deserved mercy. He said he last saw her 3 months ago and "when I met her she could not understand what I said".

Ever busy with her election campaign, even Prime Minster Julia Gillard has weighed in saying "I support, the Australian government supports her plea for clemency... we obviously do want that plea for clemency to be heard and to get sympathetic consideration."

The Indonesian President is now considering the Supreme Court judge's submission, before he makes his final decision.
