00:00A huge contrast in the way that Mary Jane Veloso has been transferred out of Indonesia
00:08compared to the extreme secrecy that the Australian government insisted on for the repatriation
00:14of those remaining Bali Nine members.
00:17Those five men were flown out of Indonesia on Sunday and the Indonesian government was
00:22told not to say anything until they were safely back in Australia.
00:26By contrast, authorities here have been giving public updates of every step of the transfer
00:33process right down to the flight number and the terminal.
00:37Now part of this reflects the fact that in the Philippines and even here in Indonesia,
00:42Mary Jane Veloso is widely seen as a victim, a woman who was unwittingly duped into carrying
00:48heroin into Yogyakarta in 2010.
00:52In 2015, she was among a group including Bali Nine members Mayurin Sukumaran and Andrew
00:57Chan who were set for execution by firing squad.
01:02She was the only one who was given a stay of execution, but she's been on death row
01:07ever since.
01:08Now she's heading home to the Philippines, a country that abolished the death penalty.
01:14In the agreement that Australia struck with Indonesia for those members of the Bali Nine,
01:18it said they must spend time in a rehabilitation facility.
01:22The Philippines agreement says Mary Jane Veloso must spend time in prison.
01:27How long though, that's up to the Philippines.
01:30It's widely expected at some point she will be released and reunited with her two adult children.
01:36As for the supposed sensitivity that justified such secrecy for the Bali Nine transfer, well
01:43there's just not much sign of it.
01:45Indonesia thinks these agreements are good diplomacy.
01:48They are happy to publicise them.
01:50They also think it's a good way of easing pressure on an overcrowded prison system.
01:55In fact, Indonesia's government says it's looking to do more of these prison transfers
02:00with other countries soon.
