“Also, it’s not in any way shape or form preposterous to expect for the benefit of them, for all Australians who are shocked and those all over the planet who felt the torment and the shock from the Bali bombings almost a long time back, that the people who were attempted, sentenced and condemned ought to carry out their full punishments.
“The Albanese government ought to make solid portrayals to Indonesia, asking that that be the situation.”
