The sex ban is the least alarming aspect of this atrocious new criminal code, as in practice it will just mean Don't Ask Don't Tell.

Of far more concern is the outlawing of insulting the president, and the broadening of Indonesia's already blasphemous blasphemy laws.

Indonesia bans sex outside marriage as parliament passes sweeping new criminal code.

And opens the door for blackmail, intimidation and more corruption.

I wonder how many politicians and businessmen in Indonesia have ever had sex outside marriage, or indeed mistresses? How many posting here on on The Forum cheering for the new law have never ever had sex outside marriage?

It was reported today that accusations must come from within the family concerned, which would not normally effect tourists.

Anyone who saw the TV series 'Australians & British abroad" or something to that effect will understand why Indonesian Authorities made that decision.
The decadent West's zero culture is frightening to say the least ! The downfall it is causing to this civilisation for want of a better description, is well underway.

More important and insulting to Australians than Indonesia's banging ban is the news that another Bali bomber, Umar Patek, has been released on parole after only 10 years of his 20 year sentence. And Australians keep on going there.

This is when muslims have a "voice" to parliament.
