There has been an influx of Australian reporters to Bali because of the arrest of the 14 year old. They also are here waiting for any Australian footballer to make a fool of himself during their end of season break.
All of these reporters want to be the first with the "scoop". Of course this means they submit stories about anything they see happening in Bali.
The local authorities have had enough of them. As of noon on Friday (14th) any reporter/cameraman going to places such as Kerobokan Prison or the Denpasar Police Station has been told to produce their work visa or they will be deported.
I have a feeling that the rush of reports may slow down.
You have to wonder, is it just a slow news day. have a close look at the pictures, looks like the same woman on the bike?
Well said, couldn't agree more about your take on what's going on and what the authorities are doing about it :icon_smile:
Actually l know the guy who took the photos. He has lived here for about 15 years, he is also one of the best surf photographers in the world. This story was given by the papers about 2 months ago. However they held it off , so they could run it during the Oz school holidays. Reason being sme if the Aussie bogans might take notice and go home in one piece...that's not a bad thing is it?
The article is quite specific in referring to the ninth bombing anniversary "this week" as well as some other stuff that happened "last month", which it did (September). This includes info about Zena Friedman which i know happened only 2 weeks ago.
So, ummm, it can't have been written 2 months ago.
Just saying :icon_e_smile:
So the suggestion from no.idea that there are journalists here at present with spare time on their hands makes sense. They are good at re-cycling older material and bringing it up to date.
No, what l meant was the article brief was given to my mate, the photographer about 2 months ago. He was to get pictures to run with an article, which was mooted back then.
I also knew the teacher that was/is in a coma, he was collected by a 14 year old girl.
Any article which highlights the pitfalls of driving motorbikes over here by tourists is cool by me.
