I didn't know there was a Byron Bay in Qld.

Born in Biloela mate, raised in Brissie an on the Sunny Coast. Spent the last 10 years before I moved here in Ocean Shores, which is 7 km's north of Byron ( as the crow flies). You don't listen do you sunshine?! You buy the beer next time for that mistake!

GO THA BRONCO'S!!!!

ewwww.... those crazy indonesian bitches.

Was in Jakarta earlier this year.... it was full on... made this place seem G rated.... no surprises here.

I lived in java and bali for 4 years and this article is a steaming pile of horseshit.

where ? 2 hours of taxi stuck in the traffic to reach Blok M or other venues, a few massages here and there, some awful street hookers, a few sad places with freelancers.

that's all ... and it's not much for a city of more than 10 million people.
barely on par with Saigon actually, and light years behind Bangkok.

of course if you only see Blok M you'll think Jakarta is a whorehouse but it's an optical illusion,

i'm sure there must be a lot of shit going on in the slums but i haven't checked and i don't think foreigners are welcome.
it's nothing comparable to places like Manila where the sleaze is totally in your face as soon as you leave the airport.

these articles are just designed to be sensationalistic and attention grabbing in order to sell more copies and to feed the government's agenda, they know they're ignorant readers will never double check and will probably never go in Jakarta either.

if Jakarta is so bad what about Germany where prostitution is fully legal and because of competition the going rates are the cheapest in Europe ?

will they blame australians for flying to Berlin, will they be called sex tourists ?

there's such a double standard going on, people thinking about the amsterdam's red light district which in fact is a total tourist trap and being unaware of what's going on in germany, austria, switzerland .. and it's legal also in greece and tolerated in spain, there are small red light districts also in belgium but nobody seem to know in the mainstream medias, their target is always the third world and the usual BS about "people living with 1$ per day" as it fits their rants and raves and their stereotypical depiction of the so called sex tourists, even more ridicolous since there are legal brothels in australia with entry rates that are now not much more expensive than a ST with a Bangkok bargirl.

all this victimization is just part of their smear campaign against prostitution, their goal is to make sure men have no other viable option than dating australian girls or turning to homosexuality or embracing an asexual lifestyle.

Jakarta, anyer lor, kuta.
largest muslim country on earth, hardly a monger destination.
