Bali, why do Australians go there?

I heard on the news another 2 Australians died in Bali. Why do Australians go there? We have better places to holiday at right here at home! 

 

We have great food, fantastic beaches and many beautiful places to go to so why do Aussies feel the need to go to third world countries when we have everything here? 

 

We are fortunate to have the best of everything why risk it all in a country with standards far below ours.

 

If I were given free flights + free cash to go to Bali I would decline! No way would I go there under any circumstances.

 

Support Australian jobs.

Support our economy.

Spend your money here.

Holiday our wonderful country.

How many more Australians have to die over there before people wake up?

She was also a nurse and some of those anti-allergy meds

were by injection.   Self-medication stuff-up?

Detective Superintendent Adnan Pandibu, who is leading the investigation, says about 30 prescription and non-prescription medications were found in a toiletries bag in their room.

The Courier-Mail reports the drugs include three anti-allergens, a strip of antihistamine tablets, paracetamol, eye and ear drops, anti-nausea and stomach drugs, asthma medications, a sedative and an antidepressant.

Only one was on prescription. In Indonesia you can buy a lot if medicines there over the counter that are prescr only here. The news story I read said a lot of these ones were made in Indonesia.

Somehow I don't think that these medications are the cause of their deaths,this is all just a destraction to shy away from what really caused their deaths and all their family members believe this to be so.The police there are quick to blame a tourist that has been caught with drugs but try to cover up when it's one of their own.

They are testing all the mefication found in the deceased's room and noting which ones have been used.
Part of the procedure..not a cover up.

I have never considered eye and ear drops to be a drug before.  Perhaps one of the medications was contaminated or not what it was meant to be.

 

It is very sad and I hope the family gets the answers they need.

Was the room cordoned off before the police arrived or were staff allowed to enter?

I think the cops are making this up to cover the truth

It's certainly a very strange case. Can't wait to hear the findings of the autopsy.

Ah yes.  But if the family don't like what's found and ask for privacy,

then no-one will ever know
