New Immigration Rules Revoked at Bali's Airport
Reacting to Long Passenger
Delays and Bitter Complaints,
Minister of Justice Indefinitely
Suspends New Border Control
Measures at Bali's Airport.
After angry complaints
from arriving tourists compelled
to stand in line at Bali's airport for
up to four or more hours, the
border control management
(BCM) procedures requiring
fingerprints and photos of
arriving passengers have been
ditched on instructions from the
Minister of Justice and Human
Rights.

13 May - 19 May 2010 (181)
In operation for only a
week, the additional layer of
b u r e a u c r a c y o f
photographing and
fingerprinting arriving tourist
was added to the tasks of
immigration officers already
overwhelmed with
administering a multi-step
visa-on-arrival process.
During peak traffic times at
Bali's airports delays
exceeding 4 hours were
reported after the introduction
of the new procedures.
On Monday, May 3,
2010, the fingerprinting and
photography requirements
were suspended until
further notice reducing waiting
time more normal parameters,
but a still intolerable 2 hour
period during peak traffic
periods.
The government has
promised not to reintroduce the
system until an adequate
amount of equipment and
personnel can be put in place to
facilitate the smooth flow-
through of arriving passengers.
Immigration Comes
Under Criticism
Despite the hasty
retreat by immigration
authorities, criticism of the poor
level of service provided to
Bali's inbound visitors persists.
Ida Bagus Ngurah
Wijaya, the Chairman of the
Bali Tourism Board (BTB),
quoted in Radar Bali, said the
short-live BCM measures did
damage to Bali's tourism
industry.
Wijaya said the now-
abandoned police had little use
and was just the latest in a list of
"sloppy" actions performed by
the agency in charge of
guarding the nation's gateways.
Citing another example,
Wijaya pointed to the recent
News Corner
increase from a two-
tiered US$10/US$25 visa-on-
arrival policy to a flat US$25 fee
when it was discovered that
some US$300,000 in visa funds
had been misappropriated by
immigration officials at the Bali
airport. Said Wijaya: "According
to what I read in the newspaper,
immigration increased the fee to
reduce corrupt acts. This is their
internal problem; this is not the
proper policy to resolve the
problem."
When the corruption of
visa-on-arrival fees was
discovered the officials involved
were forced to return the stolen
money and given administrative
sanctions. Then, in order to
avoid the future possibility of a
30-day US$25 visa fees being
booked at the 7-day US$10 fee
with the difference for wayward
officials, the government merely
increased the fee to US$25 for
all visitors.
Wijaya also complained
of the lack of prior consultation
by Immigration with the Bali
Tourism Boars and other tourism
stakeholders before major
changes in immigration policy
are introduced.

Experts astounded by
'city of gonads' jellyfish
Tasmanian scientists have discovered a
new species of jellyfish in Hobart's River
Derwent and given it a sexy name.
The species is only a few millimetres wide
and scientists say it looks like a flying saucer with a
cluster of gonads, or sex organs, on top.
Scientists discovered the jellyfish while

surveying the
waters outside the CSIRO
in Hobart.
The new species
has been named
Csiromedusa medeopolis,
meaning "jellyfish from
CSIRO" and "city of
gonads".
Launceston jellyfish
expert Lisa-Ann Gershwin
says it is an astounding
discovery.
"It's absolutely
different from every other
jellyfish that's ever been
known," Dr Gershwin said.
"So we not only put
it into its own new species
and its own new genus, but
it's actually a brand new
family."
Dr Gershwin says
the find is also
tremendously exciting.
"Quite possibly and
quite humbly the greatest
discovery of my career,
ever. I mean I'll be lucky if I
ever get a discovery even
half as incredible again,"
she said.
"You know any mum
with a new bub is always
excited, but when you have
a whole family of new bubs I
think it's triply exciting."
Dr Gershwin says
the jellyfish is harmless to
humans.

Director Justin Sisely auctions off Aussie virginities
A SYDNEY
waitress is
selling her
virginity, with
final bidders
facing off in a
live auction.
In a new
low in reality-TV,
the debauched
deal is the
brainchild of a
Melbourne film-
maker who plans to turn it into a
documentary.
Justin Sisely has spent
more than a year recruiting male
and female virgins willing to
auction themselves on camera.
However, he faces being
charged with prostitution if he
goes ahead with the deal on
Australian soil.
Speaking for the first
time since selecting his subjects,
Sisely said yesterday that he
now planned a face-to-face
auction in the US state of
Nevada - home to "sin city" Las
Vegas - with bidders in the same
room as those auctioning off
their virginity.
Sisely will pay each
virgin $20,000 and they will also
receive 90 per cent of the sale
Woman says three bags a popcorn a day damaged her lungs
A NEW York woman has

Agnes Mercado from

bags of Act II Lite microwave
popcorn a day between 1991
and September 2007. The
popcorn was flavored with
diacetyl, a compound that gives
food a buttery taste.

price, with the remaining
10 per cent going to the Nevada
brothel where the auction will be
held.
Bids will be placed online
before the final auction.
Sisely said virgins
previously selected had left the
project and he was forced to find
others willing to sell themselves.
He was in Sydney last year
holding "auditions" with posters
calling for "Virgins Wanted" over
an image of the Virgin Mary.
"The hardest part is telling
the parents, they hate me," said
Sisely, who confirmed he had
moved the sale to the US after
receiving a warning letter from the
Victorian Government.
A 21-year-old from
Sydney, who uses the pseudonym
Veronica, said her parents were

She said she
signed up to the
controversial project to
earn money and to
change perceptions about
sex.
"Technically I'm
selling my virginity for
money, technically that
would be classified as
prostitution, but it's not
going to be a regular thing,
so in my head I can justify
that I'm not going to be a
prostitute," she said.
One of the male virgins,
known as Alex, 20, said he had
applied as a way of meeting
someone. Another candidate,
known as Ronan, said he was
sick of waiting for the right girl
and would consider any offers.
"John" said he was
willing to have sex with a male or
female bidder.
"Money is a good
incentive but I'm really more
excited about the journey I'm
about to go on," he said.
The project has
infuriated family advocates, with

D e n p a s a r
District Court.
In the final
session of the murder
trial on May 3, 2010, a
panel of judges headed
by Dewa Made Wenten
declared their
agreement with the
conclusions of the
public prosecutor, Eddy Arta
Wijaya, who earlier told the
courts that Wicaksono had
been proven to have brutally
committed sexual assault and
murder against the Japanese
tourist.
According to
Beritabali.com, the judges
based their guilty verdict on
the testimony of several
witnesses, the confession of
the defendant and the forensic
reports resulting yielded by
the victim's autopsy.
The sentence of 20
years was less than the life
sentence requested by the
prosecutor. The judges said
that the sadistic nature of the
murder, the fact that Rika
Sano was an only child and
the damage done to Bali's
reputation all weighed against
the defendant. In partial
mitigation, the judges pointed
to the polite demeanor of the
Wicaksono during the trial
process; his admission of
guilt; and requests for
forgiveness made to the
family of the victim, the
Japanese consul in Bali and
Bali's tourism industry.
Both Wicaksono and
the public prosecutor said that
they would take under
advisement whether or not to
appeal the judges' verdict and
the 20-year sentence that was
handed down.

Rallying for Rails in Bali
Nyoman Gunarsa,
Influential Balinese Artists, discussions only add to Bali's
Voices His Support for a already crowded situation.
Round Bali Rail System.
Bali's Governor Made
Mangku Pastika has expressed
interest in a proposal from the
central government in Jakarta to
establish a round-island slow
railway as a means of providing
better access to all areas of Bali.
The development of a
round island train service
received a "thumbs up" from
renowned Balinese artist and
museum curator Nyoman
Gunarsa. Gunarsa's view,
reported in Bali Post, suggests
such a system would required
the conversion and acquisition of
minimal amounts of land and
would be environmentally
friendly.
Explaining his support for
the project, Gunarsa said, "the
rails for a slow train would be at
the most 3 meters in width, while
the space needed to build a by-
pass highway is 15 meters." The
well respected Balinese artist
also suggested that the
government should end the long-
standing polemic on productive

lands as such
Gunarsa envisions a
slow rail system that can
encircle the island with stops
at major tourism objects.
Additionally, the proposed
rail system would represent
an affordable and efficient
means of transportation for
the local population of Bali.
Anticipating logistical
problems ahead, Gunarsa
said that railway tunnels
could be built in mountainous
areas of Bali, such as between
Tabanan and Buleleng.
"Rather than trouble
ourselves with airports or toll
ways, it would be better to build
the slow railway. Such a project
would clearly profit the island of
Bali," maintained Gunarsa.
Underlining his concern
for the way in which green areas
have been diverted to other uses
in Bali, Gunarsa cited the example
of the I.B. Mantra By Pass where
the side of the roads are crowded
with workshops, stores and cafes
with little or no Balinese
architectural elements. Such
News Corner
negative and careless
development is due to the
inability of the government to
control zoning and building rules
and threatens the image of Bali
tourism before the world.
"I am saddened to see
Bali lose its identity due to the
governments failure to assume
its proper role in controlling
development. If we allow the
current situation to continue I am
afraid that Bali will be abandoned
by its tourist visitors," said
Gunarsa.
Earlier, at a meeting
between Indonesian President
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono,
cabinet ministers, national
governors, and lawmakers
held at the Tampaksiring
Presidential Retreat, Bali's
governor Made Mangku
Pastika enthusiastically
endorsed the proposal put
forth by the central
government to establish the
round-Bali railway system.
The governor viewed the
system as a way to spread
the benefits of Bali's tourism
industry to the less visited
areas of the island and,
because of that, urged the
proposal for the railway be
studied carefully.

THE LOVE DRESS
A woman stopped by, unannounced, at her son's
house.
She knocked on the door then immediately walked
in. She was shocked to see her daughter-in-law
lying on the couch, totally naked.
Soft music was playing, and the aroma of perfume
filled the room.
'What are you doing?' she asked.
'I'm waiting for Justin to come home from work.'
The daughter-in-law answered.
　＇But you're naked!' the mother-in-law exclaimed.
'This is my love dress,' the daughter-in-law
explained.
'Love dress? But you're naked!'
'Justin loves me to wear this dress,' she explained.
'Every time he sees me in this dress, he instantly
becomes romantic and ravages me for hours.'
The mother-in-law left.. When she got home she
undressed, showered, put on her best perfume,
dimmed the lights, put on a romantic CD, and lay
on the couch waiting for her husband to arrive.
Finally, her husband came home. He walked in and
saw her lying there so provocatively.
' What are you doing?' he asked..
'This is my love dress,' she whispered, sensually.
'Needs ironing,' he said, 'What's for dinner?'
Dear Lord,

Eileen and her husband Bob went for counselling
after 25 years of marriage.
When asked what the problem was, Eileen went
into a passionate, painful tirade listing every
problem they had ever had in the 25 years they
had been married.
She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of
intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved
and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet
needs she had endured over the course of their
marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient
length of time, the therapist got up, walked around
the desk and after asking Eileen to stand,
embraced her, unbuttoned her blouse and bra, put
his hands on her breasts and massaged them
thoroughly, while kissing her passionately as her
husband Bob watched with a raised eyebrow!
Eileen shut up, buttoned up her blouse, and
quietly sat down while basking in the glow of
being highly aroused.
The therapist turned to Bob and said, 'This is what
your wife needs at least three times a week.. Can
you do this?'
Bob thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I
can drop her off here on Mondays and

Agent hunts for great American hope
THE AFL has
b a c k e d a n
Australian sports
agent's bid to find
A m e r i c a n
athletes capable
of playing at the
highest level.
Sport agent
Miro Gladovic is looking
to tap into the market
where players who
miss out on forging a
career in the National
Football League and
National Basketball
Association will trial for
a possible career in the
AFL.
The first trial will
be held in August in
Dallas, with New York
and Los Angeles to
follow. Organisers are
hoping 5000 Americans will try
out.
The player chosen at
Dallas will win a trip to Australia
and be mentored by the likes of
AIS-AFL Academy coach
Jason McCartney, Hawthorn
great Robert DiPierdomenico,
Geelong star Jimmy Bartel and
Cats assistant coach Brenton
Sanderson.
The player will also be
invited to the 2010 AFL Rookie
Draft Camp.

game development David

committed to expanding
its recruiting base for players,
both across Australia and
overseas.
"Our experience in
countries South Africa and
Ireland tells us there are many
talented athletes who can play
Australian football. It is just a
question of identifying that talent,
and this is what these trials in the
US are all about," he said.

acknowledges it will take
time.
"It's not like they
are going to walk into the
AFL," Gladovic told AAP.
"It will take a lot of
hard work, but what
better way to raise the
AFL's profile than to
have an American
drafted into the AFL.
"It will create
curiosity in the US and
create an American
fanbase."
Gladovic also
plans to turn the event
into a reality TV show
titled 'American Footy
Star'.
Already, there is
an American on an AFL
list, with Collingwood rookie
Seamus McNamara joining the
club late last year on a two-year
international scholarship.
Former Canadian rugby
international Mike Pyke is now
with the Swans, while Lions
rookie Sean Yoshiura, recruited
from Mt Gravatt, was born in
Japan.
Several Irish players

Johnathan Thurston and Willie Mason
consider NRL strike
The NRL's leading players have continued their dangerous game of brinkmanship
with supporters and administrators, again raising the spectre of strike action in their
pursuit of more money.
North Queensland Cowboys captain Johnathan Thurston and teammate Willie Mason
became the latest players to weigh into the issue when they admitted going on strike remained an
option if the NRL failed to heed
their warnings.
The game's elite
players have been agitating for
more money in the wake of the
Melbourne Storm salary cap
scandal and the potential loss
of Brisbane Broncos and
Queensland star Israel Folau
to rugby union or the AFL.
Melbourne captain
Cameron Smith was the first to
mention the ugly prospect of a
strike at the weekend and
others have followed on, even
though Rugby League Players
Association chief executive
David Garnsey said the issue
has never been discussed.
"If our senior blokes,
like Lockyer, Petro and Cam . .
. decide that's what's best for
us, to go down that path,
certainly I'd be right behind
them," Thurston said.
Roosters coach Brian
Smith added wisdom, saying:
"I would be pretty confident we
will do what we have always
done and we will grow out of it.
It's a horrible thing that
happened that caused it all.
Everybody has more theories
than Pythagorus about how we
should fix it.
“ We j u s t n e e d t o
knuckle down and make sure
our game continues to grow
like it always has."
