The remaining five Australians from the Bali Nine group who are serving life sentences for drug smuggling in Indonesia could be repatriated home this month as Indonesia and Australia put finishing touches on a draft proposal for their transfer,

Indonesia has handed Australia a road map for bringing the remaining members of the Bali Nine home, asking to “monitor” what happens to the prisoners when they return and leaving the door open for possible “reciprocation” in the future.

Indonesia is optimistic an agreement can be reached on the repatriation to Australia of the remaining five members of the 'Bali Nine' drug ring, the senior minister on legal affairs Yusril Ihza Mahendra said.
