Timothy Harris, who provided pastoral care to the families of Scott Rush and Michael Czugaj after their arrest in 2005, expressed the sentiment of families by stating, "Every day of the last 20 years has been a nightmare for them... But they know it is going to take a lot of effort to make sure the next part of Scott's life is catered for with dignity and without a great deal of fuss." This highlights the serious emotional impact and the family's hopes for the future.
A statement released on behalf of the five men expressed gratitude, stating that they were "immensely grateful to Indonesia's president, Prabowo Subianto, and his government, as well as successive Australian foreign ministers who had advocated for their release." The men conveyed their relief and happiness at returning to Australia, emphasizing their focus on reintegration into society.
