I think the Aust Defence force personnel are still not allowed to go there either.
My partner was in the Navy and wasnt allowed to go the first few times I went after meeting him, (if that makes sense to you !!!)
With him I think it was cos of his security clearance as well, there was a list of countries he couldnt visit and some of them he couldnt for up to 10 years, (eekk)
He has been discharged for a few years now and can visit Bali but not some other countries, think it has to do with what the servicemen/women know and that they could perhaps tell if kidnapped and tortured by terrorist groups.
Indonesia isnt high on the list tho, we will be ancient by the time he is allowed to go to some countries !
