I tell all my stupid relatives who love to go to Bali that the Aussie Government has them on a permanent re-consider your need to travel there due to a high chance of a terrorist attack......however the temptation of a cheap holiday is too much to ignore. If we have another Bali bombing how do you think it would be received in Australia?

Same as the other ones probably.

After the second ones in 2005 an older man rang our talk back radio and said:

"Slow-learners are still going to Bali


After the first Bali bombings an older lady rang our talkback radio station and said she'd like to tie the bombers to chairs, cut off their ears and let them bleed to death.

Haha.

I have travelled overseas quite a bit the last 10 years and in my opinion New Zealand have the least atrractive women by far out of anywhere i have been. Love their country though, 6 weeks driving around the South Island was sensational.

That's why the sheep are so popular.

Bill Gates saw this coming in 2015......yet Donald Trump said it was a hoax only weeks ago. What a twit

Bill Gates giving advice on a virus? He's still working on a vaccine for Windows 98

There are many bonnie lassies in NZ...
maybe they were all at work when you were there.

Slow-learners are still going to Bali

After the first Bali bombings an older lady rang our talkback radio station...

Right so because some terrorist bombed a club in 2002 (almost 20 years ago) and a random old lady had a cry about it talkback radio, you reckon only slow learners go there?

IMO that's like avoiding cafes in Martin Place coz you might get killed by some random terrorist. The world isn't as dangerous as Jonezeeeeee has conditioned you to believe, bro.

Still a shit hole dangerous or not

That's what the man said.
I saw on tv and online, and can see for myself, what Bali and the rest of Indonesia are.
For starters...
Bali looks like a third world place to me.
Never will I ever be setting foot there.
Only a matter of time before JI and AQ terrorists blow it up again.
Besides that, rabies is reportedly rife, food standards are not what I like...and, they executed in their outdoor death 'chamber' Chan and Sukumaran when we basically begged them not to.

We give them $500m every 52 weeks.
They have a better military than we do.
Indonesia ranked 16 in military power, Australia ranked 20.

We asked them nicely to consider the families of Chan and Sukumaran...They cast us aside and shot them anyway.
They sent warships "against" us when we told them we accidentally strayed over their tricky sea border when we were towing back the boats.
They also warned that their warplanes can reach Australia.
No Aussies should be going there.
You love Bali/Indonesia.
I cannot.

I can’t stand what this pandemic is referred to as a war. Just like I can’t stand when footballers are referred to as Hero’s or a game as a war. I find this disrespectful towards people who were actually involved in war.

I agree with this.

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Agree , also hate footballers being called role models , surely the doctors , volunteers firefighters , ect should be who our kids look up to , footy is a fantastic thing but it's not lifesaving

Definitely. It annoys me when the Australian of the Year is awarded to a sportsperson. It is those listed above who are the most eligible and deserving in my humble opinion. It is just not right, but fortunately it is starting to get better in recent years.

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

By god you would like to get your hands on the mongrels, my wife is not a nurse but frontline health and they have now been told to remove all identification after leaving work .

Exactly right, it is an absolute bloody disgrace. Justice should be served.

I had more than one cry about it as Salvo was searching for Cathy, and found her...
...she only identifiable by a small tattoo and maybe a piece of jewellery.
I had another cry when it was known that his girls were safe in the hotel.

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Yes, rwb ...
so many people, thousands on every ship now.
What could possibly go wrong.
Just about everything at one time or another, an expert said on tv the other day.
So much food being prepared.
Swimming pools used by so many people.
Everything from gastro to legionnaires
disease he listed.

I have to disagree with BB and RWB on this one. I have been on a number of cruises, and it is a great way to travel and spend a holiday. There are cruises and there are cruises. I am not surprised that Princess is in the limelight at the moment. They have had some dramas in recent years with norovirus cases. A challenge for many cruise ships is to clean the ship from top to bottom in such a short space of time between passengers disembarking and the next lot embarking, often within a few hours of each other. Cunard, for example, has a very good track record. You have to be careful.

If you avoid using the public pool, buffet on a regular basis and other high risk, high concentration areas, the chances are you will be fine. It is common sense to some extent. Having said all of that, I probably won't be rushing back to a cruise any time soon! I am hoping that positive change comes out of all of this - regulations around cleaning practices, for example. It is very important that you have appropriate travel insurance.

[Rooster1908]

Have been on about 7 cruises all P&O and I personally have never had a issue , don't use pools and buffet as suggest not to above and was planing to cruise Italy coast later in the year , but after this I can't see us ever cruiseing again , or at least for a very long time

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Anyone who went on a cruise after seeing what happened to the Diamond Princess in Japan in February had rocks in their head .
Everyone wants to point fingers and blame others when if they used some common sense and accepted responsibility for their own actions would never had set foot on a floating petri dish.
The only reason they went is because they had paid up front and were too tight to forego the cost of the trip , they made the choice to put their wallet before their health.
This virus has reiterated that health is the most important thing in life and those that played Russian roulette with their health by going on a cruise and sadly passing away paid the ultimate price.

I agree in the short term but, once we have a vaccine and everything eventually calms down, then cruising will be up and running again. I do hope that some positive and lasting changes are made to make it a safer experience. Regardless of the form of travel, those that clearly choose to ignore the Government's travel advice are silly at best and reckless at worst.

Most bogan places usually are.
