As non citizens of Indonesia, us Australians have very little hope of influencing the Indonesian Government to change their legal right to apply capitol punishment for their law breakers. However some people on BTF say that we should not deprive the country, of the benefit of all the tourist dollars that places like Bali attracts. Sounds like a fair assumption, the idea of a boycott seems a bit harsh, I don't think that is the ideal solution. Then again one could say the best way is to withhold our holiday dollars from the population and let the locals see our disapproval of Indonesia's barbaric laws. That way the people can see the cruelty of these laws and the Laws can be changed by the people of Indonesia. Intrinsic Motivation Boycott may work this way
