‘Human body can only take so much’: home in Australia, remaining Bali Nine face their new normal

Townsville bishop Timothy Harris, who provided care to families of Scott Rush and Michael Czugaj, says the path to recovery will be long

On Sunday afternoon, the Bishop of Townsville received an anonymous text message he’d spent nearly two decades waiting for: “Wheels up, the Bali 5 are on their way back to Australia”.

Timothy Harris, who provided pastoral care to the families of Scott Rush and Michael Czugaj after their arrest in 2005, immediately called Scott’s father, Lee. A short time later, they confirmed a plane carrying his son had landed in the Northern Territory.
