Australia offers prisoner swap for Bali Nine convicts
Australia's foreign minister has offered a prisoner swap in a last-ditch attempt to save two Australian men on death row in Indonesia.
Julie Bishop said on Thursday she was waiting to hear back about the offer to repatriate three Indonesian convicts.
Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were moved on Wednesday to a prison island where they are due to be executed.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he had requested another call to negotiate with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
Ms Bishop confirmed that a prisoner swap was among the options being explored in a joint press conference with Mr Abbott on Thursday morning.
"What we are seeking to do is have an opportunity to talk about options that might be available in the area of prisoner transfer or prisoner swap," she said.
The offer was made to Ms Bishop's Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi, who "undertook to provide that information to the president", Ms Bishop said.
