  • The remaining five members of the Bali Nine have returned to Australia, but nobody is the wiser about the deal struck to secure their release.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the ongoing situation of the remaining members of the Bali Nine, a group of Australians convicted for attempting to smuggle heroin out of Indonesia in 2005. It highlights the recent developments concerning the two surviving members, Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen and Matthew Norman, who are serving life sentences. The piece explores the possibility of their release or transfer back to Australia, given the changes in Indonesian law regarding drug-related offenses and the advocacy for their repatriation. It also touches on the broader implications of their case, including the impact on Australia-Indonesia relations, the debate over the death penalty, and the personal stories of the convicts' lives behind bars, their expressions of remorse, and the ongoing support from their families and legal teams. The article reflects on the passage of time since their arrest and the evolving perspectives on their punishment and rehabilitation.
