Just two days after leaving Bali as a free woman, 39-year-old Schapelle Corby has made clear what she intends to do upon returning home.
Headed to the parole office on Saturday, surrounded by media, Corby held a black bag with a large photo of missing child William Tyrrell attached. On Monday, despite the Where’s William campaign stating they “weren’t happy” with her use of the image, she shared a photo of the then three-year-old on her Instagram page.
“Where’s William Tyrrell?” she wrote, adding “#PushforDaniel’sLaw”.
Daniel’s Law, named after Daniel Morcombe, who was abducted and murdered by a convicted child sex offender in 2003, advocates for public access to details and locations of convicted serious sex offenders.
Those commenting on Corby’s social media posts are overwhelmingly supportive of the exposure she’s giving to the case of William Tyrrell. One person wrote, “Very smart girl to use William as a sign… the sign to me was your [sic] saying William is important stop bugging me… good on you Schapelle”.

The Tyrrell family have asked her to stop using William's photo. She is not. That tells you what sort of person she is.
She has used the photo ONCE. The Tyrrell family have not made any requests at all. In fact, the grandmother supports Schapelle using the photo. That others in the family don't says a lot about them.
Sandra & Janice de Rose & Jonathon Stone are not the Tyrrell family. Whose surname William and his sister were to be forced to use from fostering to adoption was against all probabilities going to be Tyrrell. However the evidence against them as regards to William becoming extinct is condemnatory.
...Or maybe she is co-opting missing children as a way of making the public more sympathetic towards her. Trying to lose the "convicted drug mule" image, eh? Revolting move.
