Tourism operators in Indonesia are still trying to recover from the devastating impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Now the country's parliament has passed new laws that some fear could turn tourists away once again - because having sex out of wedlock is set to be outlawed.

The controversial laws, which critics have labelled a "disaster" for human rights, also ban unmarried couples from living together and restrict political and religious freedoms. There were protests in Jakarta this week, and the laws are expected to be challenged in court.

The new criminal codes are set to take effect in three years and apply to Indonesians and foreigners living in the country, as well as visitors.
...
Under the new law, unmarried couples caught having sex can be jailed for up to a year and those found living together could be jailed for up to six months.

And that is how absurd the Western notion of "human rights" are.

Critics say holiday-makers could also become ensnared.

"Let's say an Australian tourist has a boyfriend or a girlfriend who is a local," Andreas Harsono, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).

"Then the local parents or the local brother or sister reported the tourist to the police. It will be a problem."

All locals who dislike this law should emigrate to Australia.

Visitors have been told not to worry too much, because police will only investigate if a family member makes a complaint - such as a parent, spouse or child of the suspected offenders.

But that is dangerous in itself, Mr Harsono said, as it opens the door to "selective law enforcement".

"It means that it will only be implemented against certain targets," he told ABC radio.

Always file complaints when "whites" are involved. Otherwise it proves you are still too intimidated by your colonizers to hold them to the same standards.

And of course it is not just tourists from Australia who could be affected.

Canadian travel blogger Melissa Giroux, who moved to Bali for 18 months in 2017, told the BBC she was "shocked" the law actually came through, after years of talk.

"Many tourists will prefer to go elsewhere instead of risking going to jail once the law is enforced," said Ms Giroux, who pens the blog A Broken Backpack.

"And I'm not even thinking about the single people who come to Bali to party or the ones who fall in love during their travels."

It is possible to fall in love (or to party, for that matter) and not have sex, you Westerner.

Indeed, note how almost the entire article is about how the new law will inconvenience (implicitly Western) tourists. This is how Westerners think the entire non-Western world should revolve around pleasing Western tourists. This is in itself one reason why laws such as the above are so refreshing: it sends the message that at least parts of the non-Western world still exist that does not prioritize the pleasure of Western tourists.
