Heavy rainfall in West Sumatra has caused flooding and the dislocation of many villages. Meanwhile Bali settles into a mostly dry and balmy season. @SBSNews @Prof_David_Hill @6PR @Indorosstaylor

Honoured to speak at the ASEAN Future Forum 2024 (Hanoi, 23/4).

I underlined:
1️⃣ ASEAN should continue asserting its leadership in shaping Indo-Pacific architecture & cooperation.

We need a strong & united ASEAN to ensure ASEAN remains matter & can play its centrality.

Rahajeng Nyepi to all those marking this significant day in Bali on 11 March 2024. On this day of silence, all activity on the island will cease for 24 hours of reflection and meditation.

Wishing all in Bali a peaceful Nyepi Day 🙏

The World's biggest election day is over. Organised, peaceful, fair. So proud of the country that stole my heart in 1973. :)

In @ForeignAffairs, I assess what a Prabowo Subianto presidency might mean for Indonesia, ahead of tomorrow's elections. Prabowo is the overwhelming frontrunner, backed by unofficial alliance with Jokowi, re-igniting concerns about the future of democracy https://t.co/LfNt9QZMMb

[Ross B Taylor AM @Indorosstaylor]

Prabowo Subianto is closing in on that magical number of 50% to get the Indonesian presidency on Wednesday. 205 mil voters & 7 million officials at 809,000 polling stations. Amazing. @2GB873 @abc720 @ABCNewsPR @Perth_Today @westaustralian @7NewsPerth @BasilZempilas @MailOnline

BALI RECORD?
The @indoinstitute estimates that in 2023 over 1.3 million Aussies visited Bali- an all time record. Bali is as popular as ever.

Its incredible that with a critical Presidential election this year, media & public would take more interest in an outcome that will impact Australia hugely. BTW, the election is on 24th February. In Indonesia. @abcnews @6PR @westaustralian @Perth_Today @SBSNews @perthnow

@kirovkate @SureshRajan6 @Kimatthewest @westaustralian Kim is amazing. What an inspiration she is.

@SBSNews But we still need tourists here. Increasing inbound tourist visa fees by 35% will act to deter many foreign tourists from holidaying in Oz. A huge own goal @AlboMP @RogerCookMLA @TourismWA

[David T Hill AM @Prof_David_Hill]

Great to see this important article on Indonesia's approaching election out so soon - & open access! But so sad to witness Indonesia's democracy in slow-motion trainwreck, with a Soeharto-era human rights abuser rebirthed into a presidential candidate. (Melawan lupa!)

[Ross B Taylor AM @Indorosstaylor]

Indonesian authorities preparing to scrap Visa-on-Arrival fees to joost & secure tourism to Bali. Meanwhile Australia INCREASES inbound visa fees by 35% providing a huge disincentive for tourists NOT to holiday in Oz. @6PR @7NewsPerth @9NewsPerth @abcnews @perthnow @Perth_Today

So apparently the fabulous Indonesian series #CigaretteGirl is racing up the Netflix charts in Latin America and Romania. Why? Hint: strong women, duplicitous men, passion denied, all wrapped up in elliptical storytelling. @NistorNis #GadisKretek

Bali, along with large parts of Java, is now experiencing drought conditions. Authorities in Bali have declared a 'drought emergency' for the next 14 days. @abcnews @Newstalk6PR @Perth_Today @westaustralian @perthnow @DailyMailUK

[Ross B Taylor AM @Indorosstaylor]

The new Rp150,000 ($15.00) per person provincial government tax will apply to all Aussies arriving into Bali as from February 2024. This will be in addition to the current Rp500,000 ($50.00) Visa tax. @ABC @7NewsPerth @Perth_Today @2GB873 @perthnow @westaustralian @BasilZempilas
