hmm, I was wondering if the INP get a cut. Under 'Restorative justice' in Indo the settlement/agreement has to be officially brokered by them, I believe.

Better outcome than getting caught with a joint or baggy in Bali!!

Does this public payout set the scene for future setups?

An Australian friend who ran a orphanage near ubud was parked on the side of a road engine off and not in anyway impeding traffic . A drunk construction worker from java riding a motorbike slammed into the rear of her rental car killing himself . Long story short, she didn’t spend a night in jail but all up it cost her $8000 AUD , $4000 to the family of deceased man after negotiations on the price & $4000 to the local police involved in the incident .This was about 8 years ago.

Yeah I can't see Polisi not getting a cut here somehow.
I'm also curious as to whether restorative justice cancels a criminal conviction outright, or is the settlement a guilty plea by default, and part of the criminal sentencing process.

From what I can find, no conviction will be recorded.
Instead a 'Warrant Termination of Investigation' will be issued.

"Criminalization should always be considered as the last alternative for a criminal act, as long as it meets the parameters as previously stated. The interpretation and viewpoint of Ultimum Remedium are in accordance with Restorative Justice which places criminal proceedings as a last resort, and consider to give other sanctions (non-penal) in the form of compensation, fines, warnings, or other things. Therefore, there is a way out from the criminal process for the potential perpetrator, which is restorative justice, as long as the perpetratior fulfill the requirement on Chief of INP Regulation Number 6 of 2019, Circular Letter of the Chief of INP Number SE/8/VII/2018 of 2018, and ISP Regulation Number 15 of 2020." https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=58d8cfb4-8f24-4138-b30b-…

Saw last night that the flasher was deported. This bule deportation thing is a real spectator sport, big fan.

The banning of motorbikes is pretty funny. Good luck with that. They will need the entire Indonesian army to enforce it.

I flicked those two articles to a balinese mate and he reckons koster drinks too much arak . Is he trying to create unemployment with the banning of tourists visiting and climbing mountains.

For travelers wishing to arrange their visa on arrival ahead of time, it is now possible to apply for an e-visa on arrival no less than 48 hours before traveling to Indonesia.

Immigration officials have issued warnings to travelers that there is only one official website for e-VOA applications, and this is https://molina.imigrasi.go.id

Geez that will hurt a lot of the locals in Kintamani, Batur area which are reliant on people climbing Batur for sunrise. Don't reckon it will go down well there!

Used the eVOA in March, seperate lines for eVOA at immigration, no wait and straight through. Online customs declaration also speeds things up.

DPS about to get Busy

Yup your probably right udo
But then I checked a few dates and the fares weren’t that cheap at all.
Other dates could be a bargain of course.
And I’m sure the extra competition is gonna help us all.
Now where’d I leave that 6’6”

I got Garuda flights for just over a grand, trying to find one for my wife to join me for the last week. Super expensive, Batik is cheapest but flight times from Melbourne aren’t very user friendly, 5am or 7am.
Im going late August, wife plans to come 10/9.

Hi there jezza
I reckon $500 each way from Melbourne is pretty ok.
And you’ll be flying Garuda so your boards are free and you get real cutlery with your meals (even after all the 911 terrorist and security wank )
Hostee’s are gorgeous too although you probably won’t notice cos you got a missus.
Best of all , they serve Bintang .
I’m jealous.

Yeah i'd be going Garuda if it was an option. I noticed those Batik departure times from Melbourne when I had a look yesterday. Nasty.

Wtf is wrong with a 5 or 7 am Flight ?

When I was flying Jetstar from Brisbane the departure time was 7.00 am and although it was a bit of a pain in the arse leaving tweed at 2.30 am for 1 hour drive ( bonus was no traffic ) the big plus was arriving at 11.15 am and having a good half day settling in . This flight I’m on today gets in at 10.00 pm Bali time and then drive to sanur for the night, so check in will probably be around midnight . Much prefer an earlier flight overall I guess. Just depends how you look at it and be grateful to actually be going on a holiday . Garuda from Brisbane in the early days was great , underated airline compared to some of the Aussie ones .

Also loved Garuda from BNE..Your 6pm flight today is a great time i reckon... all day tday as normal...and a short drive to Airport .

I understand if you’ve got young kids coming along but if you’re by yourself or with mates then yeah the earlier the better, you’re going on holiday ffs!

yeah but we got screwed over today Udo as I’ve whinged on here before. We got told 6 months ago they had maintenance issues today so we are flying to Melbourne at 2.30 pm then Bali. My daughter has been doing are we there yet bit since 7.30 this morning.

Yep, spewing Garuda stopped flying from BNE....

Supa, make sure you skip to que and get your digital visa on arrival. saves heaps of time.

Just came back a few weeks ago. Went with Batik for the first time, gotta say I wasn't that impressed. Leg room was quite cramped and uncomfortable. Normally go with Jetstar from Brisbane and the dream liner was way more comfortable, and cheaper.
At least it was on time.

Ha yeah fair call you lot.

I'm not going to Indo this year (compared to last year where I had a week in NW WA, then a month in Indo (Bali, Ments and Sumbawa)) so I'm saying this as a distant (and jealous) observer.

Was thinking a 5am flight means getting to the airport at 2:30 / 3am. So you're doing an all nighter to pretty much to get there.

Yeah I fortunately go through locals gate ( never a line ) because of wife and daughter so its all good , still wait for luggage……..always

Had a friendly conversation with a lovely lady from fiji ( personality plus , extremely helpful ) about getting bumped to Melbourne 6 months ago . She said yeah not many flying from goldy at the moment so only about 2 flights a week have been direct, picks up school holidays and full flights. The Melbourne Bali leg is full . A mate flew direct both ways a few weeks ago , luck of the draw I guess. Be nice if they just had 3 flights a week direct when not school holidays and be a bit more honest instead of “ maintenance issues “ as an excuse . I’ll be happy as long as the luggage arrives undamaged .

You don't need a visa? or you have a Kitas?

No I need a visa , it’s all good . Anyone in a hurry can also go Tik Bali , straight through customs and immigration with transport $85 .

I haven’t used it but a friend has and highly recommended it , good when lots of flights arriving same time . https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attraction_Review-g562690-d18314440-Revi…

Thanks for sharing that link Supafreak, I'd been told about some VIP service that gets your through Bali airport super quick, but didn't have the details. Assume that is it, will have a look!

Fark me , the first leg is down and looking at departure board virgin leaves at 5.30 pm then Jetstar then 2 Qantas flights at 5.40pm . The race is on . Melbournites heading for warmer climate .
