Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Two of the Bali Nine to die this month

Don't smuggle drugs to/from Indonesia and don't appeal your jail sentence if you do.

ABC's triple j radio station has launched a spirited defence of its decision to publish opinion polling about the death penalty, after a supporter of two Australians on death row in Indonesia said the station should be held partly responsible if the pair is executed.

Supporters of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran said their bid for clemency was stymied in part by a poll which showed a slim majority of Australians supported the death penalty.

The SMS poll of 2,123 people was conducted by Roy Morgan Research over the Australia Day weekend.

Triple j suggested questions for the poll and the results were published by the station's Hack program on January 27.

It showed 52 per cent of people agreed that Australians convicted of drug trafficking in another country and sentenced to death should be executed.

Since it was published, the courts have denied a last-ditch appeal by the drug smugglers and authorities in Indonesia are now making plans to execute the pair.
