      Why would there be a backlash for that? There may have been less tourists after what happened with Schapelle Corby, but not a backlash that forces airlines to further discount the fares.

          "There will be loads of people boycotting Bali atm."

          Like others on here, I doubt that. While I personally hope they don't execute those men, I will not judge Indonesia harshly for doing so. When someone comes here, for example from a country where women are not treated equally in the eyes of the law, we fully expect them to conform with our laws, or face the full-force of the law. Similarly, anyone going to Indonesia knows very well that they are expected to conform to their laws, and these men knew what the potential consequences of not do so were. There is also no question of guilt here, and the magnitude of the crime was of the highest order (i.e. kilos and kilos, not just a little bit).
          Widodo has made it clear that his main reasons behind upholding the penalty relate to not showing preferential treatment to anyone/ any particular country, and perhaps more importantly, that many times more than 2 people die every day in Indonesia at the hands of illegal drugs; so drastic action is needed, in an effort to change this.
          To reiterate, I am not pro-death-penalty, and I do hope that somehow these men are spared. But the fact is that Indonesia cannot be judged by our standards (they have an entirely different country to run, with about ten-times the population, and infinitely less per-capita to run it with) or be made out to be doing the wrong thing here, should the death penalty proceed; which I strongly suspect it will. Widodo seems resolute.

          "Widodo has made it clear that his main reasons behind upholding the penalty relate to not showing preferential treatment to anyone/ any particular country"

          The issue I have with this is the ridiculous double standards/hipocrisy the country (Government) seems to be upholding…ie. pleading for the lives of convicted Indonesian criminals in foreign countries, yet remaining so strict on the execution of foreigners at home.

          " that many times more than 2 people die every day in Indonesia at the hands of illegal drugs; so drastic action is needed, in an effort to change this."

          It's been proven time and time again that the execution of drug smugglers does NOT deter drug use/trafficking in any way (ref.http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2014/12/10/death-penalty-does-not-deter-drug-traffickers.html), so your argument here is void.

          Anyway, Widodo needs to wake up and stop acting like a child. I for one welcome the #boycottbali campaign and hope our Government goes as far as employing some sanctions.

        • GnarlyKnuckles on 18/02/2015 - 10:49

          @afacetodiefor:
          Your entire post is void, because it is not based on facts. The one "source" you cite is a newspaper article, which is heavy on baseless statements/conjecture masquerading as fact, but contains no actual facts. A couple (of many such) examples:

          "These numbers suggest that while the death penalty is continuously imposed and executions are carried out, the crime of drug trafficking shows no sign of abating. It seems obvious that the death penalty does not deter drug traffickers."
          Erm… no, it doesn't; the second sentence is not a logical conclusion that can be drawn from the first.

          "This indicates that they may not be afraid of the penalty because they can bribe prison officials and other law enforcers. Hence, the argument that death penalty carries a deterrence effect is implausible."
          Same problem of complete lack of logic here. One statement that may apply to some people is used to 'justify' a sweeping assertion that the deterrence effect is implausible.

          I am interested in your statement (unfortunately again not accompanied by any facts):
          "…pleading for the lives of convicted Indonesian criminals in foreign countries"
          Are you talking about drug mules? Political prisoners? Or what? Please do elaborate, if you actually have any facts. I'm not interested in emotive newspaper stories plucked from the wider milieu.

          If you're calling me out on not citing every one of my sentences then I guess your entire post is void too and we are just stating different opinions, although, I think I'd have more validity even with the sources I've cited.

          Newspapers cite specific sources which have conducted the research, so approaching this with the attitude "I'm not interested in emotive newspaper stories" just makes you sound ignorant.

          Why does the crime matter? Capital punishment serves no benefit to the community, serves no justice nor does it cull the increase in crime rates, irrespective of the crime.

          From what I've read, Widodo likes to argue that these Indonesian criminals sentenced to death overseas are "generally domestic workers who have responded to situations of abuse - and in some cases sexual assault by murdering their employers - are in a different category to drug offenders. The common view in Indonesia is that drug offenders should be considered mass murderers and are in a separate category with terrorists."
          -http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2015/s4173028.htm

          What kind of childish and degenerate logic is that? Are tobacco company executives also mass murders? Are liquor company executives also mass murderers? (hint: yes) Why are they not executed?…

          @afacetodiefor:
          So I ask you to cite some real sources (hint: peer-reviewed studies) to justify what you are preaching, and you instead refer to a bunch more subjective articles from the popular media.
          Then you call me ignorant. Chuckle.
          As I suspected, the citizens you are referring to which Indonesia wants spared the death penalty were themselves victims of crime; a far cry from drug traffickers. But evidently that simple logic is beyond you, as you refer to it as 'childish and degenerate'.
          I never asked you to 'do research for me'; I assumed you had already done some real research, and that that was what your opinions were based on. Evidently that is not the case. Your opinions on this are clearly based foremost on your emotions/personal preferences, and secondarily on a select group newspaper articles and the like, which you clearly selectively sought out because they supported your preconceived notions of what you think should be the case.

        just back from bali (thanx to Jetstar deal less than $200 return). have to agree that price in bali is not that cheap. kuta sellers try to sell the famous bintang shirt for $8 up to $15, which will cost you in Bangkok or Saigon for less than $5, even $2 in Cambodia. ubud area is not that cheap anymore as well.

        upper class resto/clothing stores can charge about similar price in here because they use USD rate, instead of IDR.

        be mindful, as foreigner they will charge us different admission fees than the local, just like in Thailand. this is legal. however in some area the corrupted police or local official will charge extra above the official price. it's only idr 5K/ 50c or perhaps 20K/ $2, but still it's a corruption!!

        if you want to rent a car for a day (petrol and driver included) it costs $50. rent a motorbike/scooter around $5 to $10.

    I just got back from Bali last week after the previous Jetstar sale (return from SYD for $116). I find it a bit over rated. Nothing much to do besides over priced tours (everything priced in USD). I prefer cities where I can freely explore by public transport like Bangkok and Singapore.

By the same token should we execute all the executives of the Liquor corporations because alcohol is yet again another major killer (think 1 punch kills, drink driving, domestic violence etc).

          These two drug runners held no regards for the misery their "Merchandise of Death" would bring to other fellow Australians and their families, so why should we care about their welfare??? They shall receive what they so truly deserve.

          These two adults and seasoned drug runners knew the price to be paid if they were to be caught red-handed in Indonesia. If they were caught in Australia, they would be out in three years courtesy of a soft lame judiciary, and enjoying the monetary fruits of their labour while others (the consumers of their merchandise & their families) will be in misery. So, why must Australia risk everything just to save two "evil drug runners"???

          my mum die from lung cancer, she never smoke her entire life, on other hand my granpha smoke his entire life when he was 12 and he died in 95.

          Cool story bro. Your mother and grandfather are very fortunate - rare cases if anything. You would be ignorant to believe smoking does not directly lead to lung cancer, or drinking to other health problems. There are a plethora of scholarly research articles that link the two directly. I'd suggest visiting - www.lmgtfy.com

          These two drug runners held no regards for the misery their "Merchandise of Death"

          So naive. So ignorant. So dumb.

          You do realise Heroin has been used in medicine and even in WW2 by front line troops, bombers etc with no health consequences….The problem which you seem to be missing or avoiding is the fact that drug is not properly controlled and regulated (like tobacco and alcohol). Hence, why it's left to the backyard cooks to make dodgy and potentially lethal batches.

          They shall receive what they so truly deserve.

          Why do they DESERVE to die when like i've mentioned before, smoking and alcohol kill many more people every day…you make no logical sense…

          So, why must Australia risk everything just to save two "evil drug runners"???

          What exactly is Australia risking lol?

      In these situations I usually take advice from movie legends:

      "so what I am going to do is piss and moan like an impotent jerk, and then bend over and take it up the tailpipe!" Jim Cary "Liar Liar"

      Works for me.

    edit - but was ok on third attempts.

      Third time's a charm/ third time lucky… so it really IS true.

    Last month Indonesia executed 6 people, including 5 foreigners.

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-18/indonesia-executes-six…

    These people were from Brazil, Netherlands, Vietnam, Malawi and Nigeria. Are people calling for a boycott of Bali holidays simply because the two people due to be executed this month are Australians?

    How many Australians who oppose the death penalty campaigned against the death penalty when someone deeply unpopular was put in front of the firing squad?

    http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2012/10/11/factbox-bali-b…

    Three 'Bali bombers' were executed in November 2008.

      State-sanctioned murder is still murder and thus not OK in my opinion. It's more about revenge than punishment and we should be above that by now, as a species and civilization.

        we protest when govt official eat our tax money, but not complaining when the criminal get free lunch, even breakfast and dinner. btw our leader, usa still sanction death penalty.

        • GregRust on 18/02/2015 - 21:49

          I'm aware of that, and I disagree with it equally so.

        • brongz on 19/02/2015 - 00:50

          @GregRust: so you must be against abortion. how about terrorist? let them live in prison for life or perhaps release them after 10 years?

        • GregRust on 21/02/2015 - 02:37

          @brongz:

          I have no issue with these two being incarcerated. They deserve to be so. But no one has the right to take the life of a person, except a person themselves. No individual nor government should be allowed to terminate someones life.

    • brongz on 19/02/2015 - 01:00

      so 1 of them was Indonesian, not all are foreigners.

  • AMLagonda on 18/02/2015 - 15:47

    Do you know how many people die in Bali just from road accidents? Way more than a few that deserve it in prison.

    YUK ! Jetstar - no Thank you.

    As for Bali - we love it & will be returning this year. These people from " The Bali 9 " should have thought of the consequences when they committed their horrendous crime - no use crying "Boo-Hoo" & asking for leniency after their act of drug trafficking when they already knew what punishment they could expect if caught.

    • brongz on 19/02/2015 - 00:54

      people don't realise that our federal police informed Indonesian authority about these guys wanted to smuggle drugs. so why don't we stop them boarding the plane and catch them here? ask ourself and think again.

  • SaintKev on 18/02/2015 - 19:21

    Can't remember this mount of uproar when Singapore hung
    another Aussie drug trafficker in 2005.

    These 2 had made the Bali/Aussie drug run before, they knew what would happen if caught.

    Got the Cairns/Bali flights booked.

    • GregRust on 18/02/2015 - 22:47

      You don't remember it when Van Nguyen was hanged? It was all over the news for months, quite large protests were organised…

      • brongz on 19/02/2015 - 00:56

        and we keep coming to Singapore:)

        • GregRust on 21/02/2015 - 02:38

          I've been there 4 times in the last 12 months, beautiful place! I just watch what I carry.
