An Australian man has died in Bali. His son says he asked the Australian consulate for help, but the help came only after his father passed away. This has made people wonder if citizens get enough support when they are sick or in trouble in other countries.

Hey #Australia's #DFAT, I reckon this is at least 12 hours overdue, and given your Five Eyes inputs, perhaps much much mor overdue than that.

Travel Advice: #USA
Updated:18 June 2025
Latest update:
The Regime Leader in the USA has announced that he will kill the Regime Leader of Iran in due course. The Leader of the USA has called for Iran's "unconditional surrender".

This is effectively a declaration of war.

Consistent with our long-held policy, we recommend "Do Not Travel" to countries at war.

The US is literally Interrogating, Strip Searching, Forcing into Cold Showers, Illegally Detaining, putting into Cuffs & Detention Camps and "Disappearing" travelers now, and yet #DFAT here in Australia still says "Yeah it's fine, Travel advice for the US remains 'Green' and 'Safe'" ... WTAF?!!!

If #DFAT was serious about its travel advisory for the USA from now on.

At the very least Australia's #DFAT will have to upgrade its travel advisory for the US, not just for epidemics but greater dangers for women and LGBTQI+ people.

Another major #AustralianPublicService #APS failure on #Abbott / #Turnbull / #Morrison watches.

#EthicalBankruptcy was evident many years prior.

Friend meets with #DFAT Australia's Dept of Foreign Affairs and Trade and asks for action against a smaller #Genocide occuring in S.E. Asia.
Public servant asks, "How will us taking action improve trade?".
With there being no prospects of improvements in trade forthcoming the meeting was terminated.

Been building for years.
