LOL!聽 Based on my long experience following Australian media coverage of Bali, I am totally convinced that the Australian media is an extension of DFAT, and used to try to convince Australians to spend their vacation funds in OZ...and not Bali.

Emergency visas are over now that international flights are resuming.聽 And that's for all foreigners...not just Australians.

Thats something I really dont understand.
The Emergency Visa is over, but the Covid-19 emergency is still on.
According with the last update from Governor Koster, ithe borders to nternational turist could be re-open at 11 settember (what a date!!!),

International flights have (are) resuming, thus no need for an emergency visa since there is no reason why a foreigner can't leave.聽

But yeah, I agree...9/11 is a curious date to chose.

The Australian media have gone hysterical over anything virus related.

For various reasons they鈥檝e had a bias against Bali & this is just more of the same.聽 聽 It just envy & jealousy.....some can鈥檛 stand the fact that everyday Joes can simply go a few hours and have a nice holiday.

It鈥檚 a basket case back there now..... states locking down, people hiding under their beds clutching rosary beads,聽 people hiding in the trunks of cars getting smuggled across borders........

And........No Dancing .聽 馃槅馃槅馃槅

As Johnny Cash sang,
鈥淏ad news travels like wild fire , good news travel slow鈥�.

As the former owner of that聽 News Media press article once said....

If it bleeds,,,it leads.

Ontheroads57....I'm an Australian, have a business in Bali for 10 years and have just returned from Australia 1 month ago.
Yep Australian media is guilty of misrepresenting the facts, much the some as the media world wide. Yes for many years there has been a bias against Bali as a tourist destination for Australians mostly driven by Tourism Australia.
But don't be like the media, if you don't know the true聽 story better you don't post anything.

Don鈥檛 post anything........馃槅馃槅馃槅馃槅

True story......?

You made me laugh .. 9/11.
