Andreas Hugo Pareira has criticised the deal that has seen the remaining members of the Bali Nine returned to Australia, with Pareira being the deputy head of Indonesia’s parliamentary justice committee. Indonesia has struck a similar deal with the Philippines to return high profile death-row inmate Mary Jane Veloso back home, and Pareira says the prisoner deals with Australia and the Philippines goes against Indonesia’s Corrections law, and set a bad precedent. Pareira is a member of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, the current opposition to new Indonesian president Prabowo Subianto

Dennis Richardson has attacked the federal opposition for criticising a possible deal to free the remaining members of the Bali Nine from an Indonesian prison, with the former ASIO director-general saying the opposition was not aware of the circumstances behind their original arrest. The father of one of the nine, who were arrested in Bali for possession of four kilograms of heroin, was concerned he was up to no good and had told the Australian Federal Police, hoping it would intercept him and the others before they left Australia. However, the AFP allowed them to go ahead and tipped off Indonesian officials, knowing they could face penalties that included execution or a life in prison. Richardson says that under the circumstances, he considers it "extraordinary that anyone in the opposition would query what the government has done"
