The Bali Nine duo’s execution is likely to go ahead this week.
UPDATE:
Audience and panelists of ABC’s Q&A were thrown last night after it was announced Bali Nine death row inmates, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, would be granted an appeal — potentially delaying their execution until May 12.
Less than a few minutes into the program, host Tony Jones interrupted an audience member to announce the breaking news.
“We’re just getting reports, and it’s coming up on the autocue here,” he said.
“Indonesia’s constitutional court has agreed to consider a last ditch legal challenge brought by the Bali Nine pair. The court agrees to hear the case on May 12.”

The court agrees to hear the case on May 12.”
Asking if the executions would still go ahead seemed like a stupid question
but last week there was a statement that even if a date was set for a court case,
the executions would proceed as planned.
This does seem crazy to us.
Therefore, the questioner is no idiot; she raised an issue of critical significance.
They're getting what they deserve. 0 tolerance on dangerous drugs, Australia should take the same approach.
You sound like an awful person. The men did the wrong thing, but they do NOT deserve to be murdered for it, 10 years later.
Yeah, cos that's stopping people consuming and trafficking in drugs isn't it.
Agreed. They should have been executed 10 years ago.
