- Australian guy's mother dies
- goes on overseas trip to try to deal with it
- gets roofied in Cambodia and accidentally cracks ATM glass
- arrested at the airport for... damaging ATM
- sent to hell on earth Cambodian prison
- gang raped in prison
- Australian embassy is notified but does nothing
- Australian foreign minister Penny Wong does nothing
- multiple meetings with Australian embassy personnel who also do nothing
- except charge the guy for the privilege of sending him money to bribe the prison and judge
- also his lawyer used part of the money to party with friends in Thailand
Imagine, if you will, that Malaysian-born Minister of Foreign Affairs Penny Wong didn't care to save a white Australian guy stranded in southeast Asia.
This would never have happened in the old times. A guy getting abused like this would have been a stain on the dignity of all Australians.
It's because he is a man. If a white Australian woman was sent to a Cambodian prison, the Australian government would fight for her. Nobody in this world cares about men. You are completely fucking on your own. IF you are really lucky, you might have parents who actually love you but that's about it.
Shapell Corby was cought dead to rights trying to traffic pot into Indonesia.
Instead of the death penalty, she got special treatment and finished her sentence in Australia.
