So how doe you make sense of the then-Australian Federal Police commissioner Mick Keelty in 2005, having no qualms about in informing the Indonesian Police about the drug smugglers now known as the Bali Nine?
He knew full well they would face the death penalty if arrested.
The federal police’s intelligence was so good it could have arrested them on their return to Australia but, no, it allowed them to be arrested in Bali where they would face the death penalty.
Death by firing squad? And here we are in the 21st century.
Disgraceful.
