I fail to understand why people go to Bali. Or Indonesia. Or anywhere in that region of the world. What could possibly be attractive about going there? You want beaches? Australia has plenty of them. Nightlife? Got that too.
I'd never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER go there willingly. If someone payed me to go there I wouldn't. Especially after the last few things that have happened there (ie: Schapelle Corby, The Bali 9 and this girl now).

So you wont go there because of the sole purpose that they are tough on drug use and trafficing? All those people you have mentioned have been found guilty of drug related crimes. These countries dont tolerate it, get over it. If you dont deal or do drugs then you wont have a problem... you've never been to these countries so therefore you dont have the right to voice your opinion. |

Pretty much ANY Australian that visits these sorts of countries will be loaded because of the state of their economy. Thats why you stick the more "civilised" areas.

We've never really been in the good books with the Indo's since our involvement in the Indonesia/Malyasia conflict in the 60's.... we backed the Malaysians and sent SAS guys on incursions into Indo. We also gave the Malaysians our F-86 Sabres during the period to bolster their air capabilities (we had just bought the Mirage at the time) So between that background and the muslims extremists running around, I have no desire to visit Indonesia. Footnote: The chick used to go to the cafe I was a regular at on rundle street when I was in Uni... her and her "popular" (if you know what I mean) friend that was also on "Search of a Supermodel"

The gaol time is a joke, but everyone knows what the consequences are. The girl is stupid!
I've been to Bali and I'd happily go again. Not because I'm a straighty 180, but because i have enough brains to know not to "play up" in a place that has such tough laws on drugs etc. OT the only thing that bothered me about Bali was being hasseled to buy watches and other cheap rip offs. However, when you did wanna buy something, there was always someone there to sell to you. lol. Moral to the story is, dont have anything to do with drugs in Bali. If you do, you risk a gaol sentence. Simple as that! Also, she is damn fine! |

Their whole justice system needs some revision. I know it's illegal, but two pills = 10 odd years? They're government is corrupt and backward enough. Don't they realise bombing public tourist places causes more havoc, death and injury than a few people using recreational drugs? I think I've just answered that myself. Poor girl.

In a country which lightens the sentence of mass murderers in the bali bombing,then wants Shappelle dead for weed (even if she is/isnt guilty)..quite simply suggests their hatred for Australia. I wont be going to a country like that..

The first thing I was told when i got to Bali was if you get pulled over by the cops and they ask for your licence put 20,000 rupiah $A5 with it and then they will leave you alone if you dont then they can and will give you are hard time and hold you up for ages,
Everything in Bali is corrupt. The only reason to go there for is the resorts, They are really really nice and they are really really cheap. It cost me $46 a day for 5star luxury and you are waited on hand and foot,the equvalent service here in aus would cost $500+ per day and the balinese people are very nice and can't do enough for you, Having said all that the hawkers drive you nuts after a few days , the rats along Kuta are bigger than your dog,and I would never go there again.

Sure plenty still gets through, but those are usually "sanctioned" by the local cops/army. Usually meaning the right money has found its way into the right hands. Usually the Army. And you will note the Australian government has never really put up a real fuss over the issue, as the usual destination for those drugs being trafficked is Australia. It saves the australian cops the hassle of having to try to intercept. Its brutal, its ineffective(As it just encourages Bribery) and its entrenched legislation, but hardly anti australian.
