Tony Abbott has said there are still "legal options available" in the
case of two Australians on death row in Indonesia.
Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were convicted of drug crimes in 2006 and could be executed within days.Media reports on Monday said the men's lawyers had written to the Indonesian judiciary alleging judges had asked for bribes for lighter sentences.
Indonesia's judicial officials have not publicly commented on the claim.
Chan and Sukumaran, along with seven other Australians, were arrested in Bali in 2005 for trying to smuggle more than 18lb (8.3kg) of heroin from Indonesia to Australia.
The pair were later found to be the ringleaders of the group and sentenced to death. The two Australians lost a final legal bid to have their cases reviewed earlier this month.
Australia's top politicians have been actively campaigning for clemency for the two.
The other seven members of the "Bali Nine" are currently serving either life or 20 years in prison.
