Reflecting on days spent with the Bali Nine

ABC News Daily

For almost 20 years they’ve sat in prisons in Indonesia, for trying to smuggle heroin out of Bali, but the five remaining members of the so-called Bali Nine could be returned to Australia soon.

As a former foreign correspondent, it’s a story Sam Hawley knows well, because she went inside Kerobokan prison for a week in 2017.

She spoke with two members of the Bali Nine, Si Yi Chen and Matt Norman and has followed their story ever since.

Today, Sam speaks with Cindy Wockner, who was also a correspondent at the time, about the deal being worked on that might bring them home.
