This wasn't a first time offence for Chan & Sukamaran, they previously smuggled heroin from Bali to Australia successfully and also had another failed attempt because their courier didn't turn up. Third time they got caught.
There are signs all over the airports of Indonesia warning of the consequences of drug smuggling.
I know the popular opinion is that these poor wretched men have reformed and one has found God, but if they weren't caught would they now be reformed or living in a big house with sports cars and the trappings of a drug funded life of crime ?
I oppose the death penalty, most Australians do. However we can't dictate the laws of other countries. So I don't support our Government trying to intervene when we have hundreds of children locked up in detention centres in hell holes like Manus Island. It reeks of hypocrisy.
