Boycott Bali

[idlewhile]

If the horrific murder of two Australians is carried out then we should boycott Bali and all things Indonesian.

We gave over a $billion dollars to this country after the tsunami, we prop then up with foreign aid and they spit in our faces.

They have  ignored all diplomatic attempts to mitigate their sentences and Watta a Joko has now signed the order to send them to the "killing Island" wouldn't want to kill them on Bali now would they, might upset the tourism business.

I'm appalled and disgusted, scared and frightened for these men and heartsick for their families.

Although I don't agree with a boycott I do otherwise agree with you. Appalled and disgusted also.

We should punish a whole country for the laws that were in place prior to the offence?

[idlewhile]

nah!  lets just keep giving them our tourist dollars and to hell with them murdering 2 Australians.

They are not the first are they?

Execution is not murder, it's the sentence they were given, with the full cooperation of the AFP, who had ample opportunity to stop it before it happened. Boycott them?

I am not in favour of the death penalty in any circumstances.

I went to Bali once never liked it, strange feeling never felt safe, 8 months later They killed with bombs.

I feel safer in Thailand.

I would never go to Bali again, I hated it recently when my grand daughter had a holiday there, was a worry to me.

Punish the poor people of Bali, whose main income is tourism? Let prospective tourists decide for themselves whether they want to travel there or not.

As much as we don't agree with Indonesian laws, there is nothing any other country's Govt can do to interfere in that respect.

Do you want to cancel exports to Indonesia? I don't think that would go down well with Aust companies that export produce & goods there. Many billions of dollars gone from our economy.

Boycott all tourism to Bali and impose sanctions on Indonesia. Then they might show the compassion that their "peaceful" religion extolls.

The AFP did nothing wrong.

It is not murder.

If you are to move forward with a genuine cause you need to be 100% correct or you lose credibility.

I may not agree with what is happening but I equally cannot support causes that don't communicate the precise facts.
