Who is advising Australia’s latest Bali pin-up jailbird, Michelle
Leslie? Team Brogden? The lingerie model’s decision to don
a burqa and turn Muslim overnight may well spring from genuine
religious conviction – even St Paul had to walk the road to Damascus.

Cynics might suggest the burqa is more about trying to retain some
value in her face when she gets out. Certainly, her Australian
lawyer sounded coy about her sudden conversion on radio this morning.

Incidentally, the confiscated pills aren’t back from the lab yet.
Wouldn’t it be a lucky break if the dealer had sold her aspirin? If her
team has any nous, money might be changing hands at the lab for the
right result. Not that we would suggest corruption is rampant in
Indonesia. Just religion, you understand.
