Scores of Indonesian youths who were wrongly jailed as adults in Australia are a step closer to getting justice, after the Federal Court ordered the Commonwealth to enter mediation over their long-running claim for damages.

Many were subject to a discredited wrist scan that suggested they were years older than they really were.
