Nine Aussies who are spending Christmas in Bali jails will be banned from the traditional festive family visits as a result of COVID-19.
Of the Australian prisoners behind bars on the holiday island, only two qualify for the traditional Christmas sentence remissions.
The others, serving life sentences or who are still on trial, do not qualify.
AAP has confirmed that two Aussies - Sunshine Coast man Brendon Luke Johnsson and Robert Andrew Fiddes Ellis - will both be awarded sentence cuts of one month and 15 days this Christmas.
