This is a fascinating conversation with a bloke who has experienced some of the 'hardest' days at the office, conceivable. Grant Dooley was posted to Jakarta during the mid-2000s, one of Indonesia's most turbulent periods, where he survived the terrorist bombing of the Australian Embassy, was a first responder to the Garuda plane crash, and worked through the aftermath of the Boxing Day tsunami - along with major diplomatic incidents like the Bali bombings, the Schapelle Corby case and the arrests of the Bali Nine. Throughout it all, Grant and his wife Kristan (also a DFAT consular officer) had to keep it together - not only for themselves and their jobs, but for their young family. But the years in Jakarta took their toll on Grant and, diagnosed with PTSD after his service in Indonesia, he began to write journal entries, in an attempt to process his trauma. Those initial writings have now been turned into a book; Bomb Season in Jakarta. It’s Grant's up-close-and-personal account of his Indonesian posting, raising the lid on the personal side of diplomatic service. I think you'll enjoy this.Book: Bomb Season in JakartaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The five remaining members of the Australian“Bali Nine” drug ring have returned home after 19 years in jail in Indonesia, the Australian Government said Sunday. Indonesian police arrested the nine Australians in 2005, convicting them of attempting to smuggle more than 8kg of heroin off the holiday island of Bali. In a case that drew global attention to Indonesia's unforgiving drug laws, two of the gang would eventually be executed by firing squad, while others served hefty prison sentences. “The Australian Government can confirm that Australian citizens, Matthew Norman, Scott Rush, Martin Stephens, Si Yi Chen, and Michael Czugaj have returned to Australia,” Canberra said in a statement. “The men will have the opportunity to continue their personal rehabilitation and reintegration in Australia.” Accused ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were executed by firing squad in 2015 despite repeated pleas from the Australian Government. Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen died of cancer in 2018, months before Renae Lawrence was released after her sentence was commuted. Australia's Government expressed “deep appreciation” for the Indonesian Government's co-operation to let the remaining men return on humanitarian grounds. It did not give further details on the agreement, including whether they would need to continue to serve their sentences following their return home. Heroin-lined suitcase The Government said it had consistently advocated for the men and provided consular support to them and their families during their incarceration. It asked the media to respect their privacy. Muslim-majority Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws, including the death penalty for traffickers. It is not uncommon for foreigners to be arrested for drug offences in Bali, which attracts millions of visitors to its palm-fringed beaches every year. The release of the Australians follows weeks of speculation that a deal for their return was in the works. In November, a senior Indonesian minister said Jakarta aimed to return prisoners from Australia, France and the Philippines by the end of this year. Earlier this month, Indonesia signed an agreement with the Philippines for the return of mother-of-two Mary Jane Veloso, who was arrested in 2010 after the suitcase she was carrying was found to be lined with 2.6kg of heroin. Her supporters claim she was duped by an international drug syndicate, and in 2015, she narrowly escaped execution after her suspected recruiter was arrested. - Agence France-Presse LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been nearly 20 years since a group of nine Australians were arrested in Bali, for attempting to smuggle $4 million worth of heroin. And now seemingly out of nowhere, five members of this group, who became known as the infamous Bali Nine, have been thrust into the spotlight after a news report said they would be returned to Australia as soon as Christmas.  So what's changed the fate of the remaining five so dramatically? Today, senior writer Michael Bachelard, our former Indonesian correspondent, on the group that once ignited a firestorm of debate around capital punishment, drugs and the ethics of our own police force.

Headlines: The Greens back Labor's housing bill, Israel to vote on Hezbollah ceasefire, Google, Meta and X react to social media ban, and Wicked enjoys a bumper weekend at the Aussie box office. Deep Dive: The Bali Nine were a group of nine Australians convicted for attempting to smuggle 8.3kg of heroin out of Indonesia in April 2005.  It sounds like a deal with the Indonesian government might be underway – but what would repatriation look like, why would we want them in Australia, and why has this group been such a big deal for so long? Bishop Tim Harris is a long-time advocate for the release of the Bali Nine, having visited members of the group at Kerobokan prison and working with their families back home. He joins Sacha Barbour Gatt for this episode of The Briefing to explain why he thinks it's time for the remaining members to return home.
