  Australians Matthew Norman, Michael Czugaj, Scott Rush, Martin Stephens and Si Yi Chen were accompanied back to Australia by government officials on a commercial flight on Sunday.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the return of the five remaining members of the Bali Nine to Australia after serving their sentences in Indonesia. The Bali Nine, a group of Australians convicted for attempting to smuggle heroin out of Indonesia in 2005, saw its members either executed, die in prison, or serve long sentences. The last five members, having completed their terms, have now returned to Australia as free men. Their return marks the end of a long and internationally scrutinized legal saga that began nearly two decades ago. The article highlights the mixed reactions to their release, with some advocating for their rehabilitation and reintegration into society, while others remain critical of their past actions. The piece also touches on the broader implications of Australia's relationship with Indonesia concerning drug trafficking laws and the treatment of foreign nationals in legal disputes.
