good on you for trying, and pleased to hear you actually got a response! That in itself is rare in most places today!
Not exactly sure how Michael Klim and his royal wife can really help though... as the last article I read about them in Bali, it showed them staying 5 star and really the article did NOT portray them as being the average Aussie tourist.
Also not sure if Michael being there will have any result on crooked money changers, customs problems and the many other issues often raised here on this forum. Nor, I fear, will possible terrorist plans be put "on hold" whilst ever the Klims might be visiting. These 'street level' problems seem to be some of the main reasons Aussie tourists are not travelling to Bali as much as before, and only a vast INTERNAL shake up can correct these issues. I sadly doubt we will see this happen in our lifetimes, as there is simply too much easy money at stake to "rock the boat" and put the life of the proverbial Golden Goose at risk.
