Australia has offered to cover the cost of life imprisonment for Bali Nine pair Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran if Indonesia spares their lives.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop made the offer to her Indonesian counterpart last week, it emerged on Thursday.
Ms Bishop also unsuccessfully offered a prisoner swap for three Indonesian prisoners in Australia.
Chan and Sukumaran are facing death for attempting to smuggle 8.3kg (18lb) of heroin from Bali to Australia in 2005.
In a letter to Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, Ms Bishop said Australia was "prepared to cover the costs of the ongoing life imprisonment" for the pair.
The letter also formally made the "one-off" prisoner swap offer, which the two ministers had discussed previously.
Ms Bishop pointed out to Ms Marsudi that the three Indonesian prisoners had attempted to import 390kg of heroin to Australia, "47 times the amount Mr Chan, Mr Sukumaran, and their co-convicted tried to smuggle".
Citizens of certain countries are valued despite their offence but certain countries dont care about what happens to their citizen but only care when the deed
