Almost 100 child sex offenders from Australia have tried to enter Indonesia this year, which child advocates say underscores the need for world-first new Australian laws that will cancel the passports of paedophiles.
Indonesian immigration officials have revealed that 92 of the 485 foreigners barred from entering Indonesia this year were Australian child sex offenders.
Indonesia, and in particular Bali, has long attracted Australian paedophiles.
Victorian Robert Andrew Fiddes Ellis was last year sentenced to 15 years' jail after he sexually abused 11 girls - the harshest penalty ever imposed for this type of crime in Bali.
The 70-year-old had insisted he did not deserve to be jailed because his crime was "not a serious thing" and he "paid them generously".
In 2014, Indonesia eclipsed Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia to become the number one destination for Australian sex tourists over the previous three years. Most started in Bali.

How embarassing.
I wonder what the Indons are doing about their own local sex traffickers, though. Underage sex must be fairly available over there, else why would sex offenders flock there?
