An Australian family was kicked off a Jetstar flight bound for Melbourne because they were “unruly,” officials from Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport said yesterday. The explanation comes after the passengers claimed they were removed from the plane because of their religion.

Many people love Bali the way it is, and so it was no surprise that a lot of people were riled up when news broke that Indonesia’s new Tourism and Creative Economy Minister, Wishnutama Kusubandio, was planning on making changes to the country’s top destinations to accommodate more Muslim tourists.

Eric Roer, a 56-year-old man from the Netherlands, has been sentenced to two years in prison after judges at the Denpasar District Court found him guilty of violating Indonesia’s 1990 Conservation Law.

It looks like the provincial government in Bali is still on track with its vision of a clean future for the island. Bali Governor I Wayan Koster has issued gubernatorial regulations on clean energy and electric motor vehicles, thus officially paving the way to make that vision a reality.

The district court in Bali’s Gianyar yesterday sentenced Desak Made Wiratningsih to six years in prison for abuse against a domestic worker under her employment, in which she had poured boiling water on the victim as a form of punishment.
