Bali’s tourism industry could take a hit after new laws banning sex outside of marriage were passed in Indonesian parliament. The new criminal code could also prevent couples who aren’t married from living together. So, what does this mean for the thousands of Australians that travel to Bali each month? 

In this episode of the Briefing we speak to Indonesian/Australian journalist and lecturer Tito Ambyo about the new criminal code. We also chat to Jenny Hewett, a freelance travel writer, who speaks about her experience of living in Bali and how the new laws might impact tourism there.

Headlines:

- Six dead in Queensland shooting and siege
- New Covid rules for 2023
- Aussies nominated for Golden Globes
