The remaining ‘Bali 9,’ the Australians caught smuggling heroin into Indonesia in 2005, are now home, closing a painful chapter in the countries’ relations.

The men were the last Australians still imprisoned in Indonesia for trying to smuggle heroin in 2005, in a case that became a diplomatic flashpoint between the countries.

The five remaining members of the so-called Bali Nine drug-smuggling ring have returned to Australia after serving nearly two decades in Indonesian prisons.

The remaining five Australians from the infamous “Bali Nine” drug gang are “relieved and happy” to be home after Canberra struck a deal with Jakarta to end their two decades of imprisonment.

Prime minister Anthony Albanese confirmed the return of Matthew Norman, Scott Rush, Martin Stephens, Si Yi Chen, and Michael Czugaj in a statement on Sunday. "These Australians served more than 19 years in prison in Indonesia. It was time for them to come home," Mr Albanese said.

Australia says the five remaining members of the "Bali Nine" drug ring have returned home after almost 20 years in Indonesian prison.

The five men have returned to Australia after having the rest of their life sentences commuted “on humanitarian grounds.”
