Convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby is weighing up whether or not to conduct a tell-all interview in order to "thank" her supporters.
Speaking on the Kyle and Jackie O show on Wednesday morning, Corby's sister, Mercedes, hinted that a television or magazine splash could soon be on the way. However, she said people shouldn't expect to hear from Corby anytime soon.

Mercedes Corby's request
In a radio interview, Mercedes Corby makes a plea to media, and speaks about sneaking her sister Schapelle back into Australia.
"It's just too early for her to make any [final] decisions," she said. "But I do know she does want to thank all of her supporters."
Mercedes also hinted that her sister may one day reveal how she gave the media the slip on her way back into the country.

Since Corby was allowed to return to Australia, local media have worked themselves into a frenzy - with one journalist even strapping herself to the back of a moving ute to conduct a live cross.
"Please go home," Mercedes told the media camped outside the family home. "Schapelle isn't going to be there. It's annoying our children. Just google her if you want a photo... she's not going to talk to you."
However, Sandilands and his co-host did manage to squeeze out a few extra details from their guest beyond the predictable media-bashing.
Mercedes confirmed the family hoodwinked journalists thanks to the help of their private security guard. But that doesn't mean they haven't been lapping up the subsequent media coverage and savouring their revenge.
"It's embarrassing," Mercedes said. "Your kids want to watch cartoons and instead there are these fake car chases going on."
Mercedes also revealed the man photographed wearing a horror mask at the family home was her brother, Michael Corby Jnr. Her brother-in-law also played along.
The strangest part of the interview was when Kyle and Jackie O asked Mercedes for a "proof of life" after it was claimed Schapelle was in the room with her.
After some coaxing, a shy Corby could be heard whispering "hello" into Mercedes' phone.
Prior to having Corby's sister on the program, Sandilands taunted the "loser media" because Mercedes agreed to talk to him and not other outlets.
"Suck shit the rest of the media," he said. "You've got nothing, losers."
