Earlier this week 29-year-old Myuran Sukumaran and 26-year-old Andrew Chan spoke to SBS about the bungled attempt to smuggle 8.3 kilograms of heroin out of Bali five years ago.

Sukumaran says he gets a lot of hate mail from Australians who tell him he deserves to die and joined the Bali Nine because he didn't want to work in a mailroom for the next 50 years of his life.
