Nothing much about Scott Rush, other than he’s still at Karangasem prison (where he was transferred in 2014).



Martin Stephens: nothing either, other than that he’s in a prison in Malang (transferred from Kerobokan in 2014).

Renae Lawrence, Bali Nine member, released from Bali's Bangli prison
Lawrence was escorted by security and police from the prison on Wednesday evening to a waiting car through a crowd of media outside.

Arrested in 2005, Lawrence is the first and only one of the Bali Nine group to be freed.

The 41-year-old is to be deported to Australia, where she still faces outstanding charges relating to the theft of a car.

Lawrence and her family are on their way to Australia, having left Denpasar airport about 12.45am (AEST), and will be in the country at dawn.

She landed in Brisbane just before 5:00am (AEST) and is expected to board a flight to Newcastle later this morning.
Upon arrival at Brisbane International Airport, the now 41-year-old was surrounded by media trying to get a response from the newly freed Australian.
She appeared frustrated by the attention, lightly pushing one of the reporters out of the way as she tried to board a bus to the domestic terminal.
While refusing to answer any of the reporters' questions in English, she appeared to mutter something in Indonesian.

I notice at 2:25 in the video in this article, the police commissioner says "Others will judge me and think we should have been waiting at the plane for her to pay a price. I think she has paid the price for her sins".

IMO she's one damn lucky girl & I agree to just let her live her life.
As long as she stays away from the likes of Shapelle she'll be OK.

Agree. Incredibly lucky.

Freed Bali 9 drug mule Renae Lawrence has begged the Indonesian president to release the remaining heroin smugglers in the failed 2005 drug plot.

The five Bali 9 members left in Indonesian prisons are set to die in jail.

Speaking as Joko Widodo arrived in Australia to meet with Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Lawrence appealed to both leaders, saying “as each year goes by these young men are losing hope”.

She also revealed she plans to return to the country of her incarceration to live and work.

“I am the only female member of the so-called Bali Nine and the only one to receive a determinate sentence,” she said.

“I continue to worry about these five young men who, if they had received the same sentence as me, may well have been back in Australia with their families by now.

“Their families constantly travel to Indonesia to visit their sons at great expense, their anguish remains.”

Any updates on Renae Lawrence's efforts to free the rest of the Bali 9?

I'm so happy to read the final 5 have returned to Australia. I have periodically looked them up over the years and after serving nearly 20 years, I personally feel they have well and truly paid for their crimes.

Hopefully they're still young enough to go on to enjoy happy and fulfilling lives.
