Bruce Haigh,

Civil Liberties Australia is the (misnamed) ACT organisation. The national body is the Australian Council for Civil Liberties. I'd suggest you also go directly to the member organisations: The NSW CCL, the Queensland CCL and Liberty Victoria (aka the Victorian CCL). They are the bodies with national credibility.

Springing some of the Bali Nine from Death Row is an improvement over Howard's (American engineered) policy of allowing Australians to be placed on Death Row in order to be "hard on drugs". Those sprung still have long prison stretches but in Indonesia sentences can shrink rapidly if lubricated.

Probably the Indonesian legal system required inducements - to provide the inducements is being realistic and requires effective Australian policy coordination. This may be Keelty's unintended strength. Hopefully he and others can spring the rest soon.
