Mr Downer,
In view of this:"Balibo 5 deliberately killed, coroner finds," perhaps you can suggest in your delicate diplomatic exchanges with Indonesian government officials who must be treated with kid gloves that, as they are already five gratuitous up on us, perhaps they can give us back five of the Australian kids they have on death row on charges hardly worthy of five-year prison terms.
