Kerry Salinger, a lawyer from the legal team that represented the infamous convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby, reportedly says the Australian government should push for a prisoner exchange program to save the Bali Nine death row inmates.
Salinger told Radio New Zealand’s Morning Report that such a program is “long overdue” and discussions have been going on for 25 years.
She believes trading for convicted Bali Nine drug smugglers Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran could be the way to keep the two alive.
“If they started tomorrow, if the Government was sincere in this and I’m sure that they are, they should take it on board and implement it quickly,” the attorney said, as quoted by Radio New Zealand. She also said there would be a lot of support for this sort of program in Australia.
