Hotel raids and confiscated condoms: Bali's sex ban

Indonesia has long been hailed as a tropical paradise by Kiwi travelers.Cheap airfares, friendly locals and well-priced accommodation is enough to lure many out of their winter hibernation. But a revised criminal code, which includes a law labelled by some as a “bonk ban”, could make the classic Bali getaway far less alluring for New Zealanders. Especially the unmarried ones. On this week’s podcast, hosts Cheree Kinnear and Katie Harris discuss the new laws, how they may impact Kiwi travelers and chat to Jakarta Feminist director Vivi Restuviani about the other aspects of the new criminal code. Later, Cheree unpacks the airline fuel shortage, then a decision has been made in the vaccine-blood case regarding a baby needing urgent surgery and amateur TikTok sleuths are trying to discover who is responsible for murders in Idaho.
