Senator Nettle asked me a question in this question time about representations that the Australian government might make with respect to the Bali Nine. The Prime Minister raised the issue of the death penalty with President Yudhoyono when he met with him on 27 July 2007 in Bali. The Prime Minister indicated that there were great sensitivities in Australia about the application of the death penalty. The Prime Minister does not normally foreshadow the issues he will raise with other leaders in advance of discussions with them and will not be doing so in this case.
