Australians don't go to Bali for the Indonesians they go there for the local Balinese. Taking any action at Bali, effects the Balinese the most, those in Jakarta don't really care. Balinese are Hindu
I hope the two Aussies don't get death, however there are many countries with citizens on death row in Indonesia, I can't see them making exceptions.
For the Americans what's makes this case complex is it was the Australian Police that tipped off the Indonesian police that a group of Aussies were bringing drugs into Australia, and asked if they could they arrest them, instead of waiting until they arrived in Australia.
