		<description><![CDATA[Indonesia’s founding fathers made religious equality a key principle of national identity, giving privilege to no individual faith.  Their legacy sees this, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, regularly proclaimed a beacon of tolerance in a turbulent age.  But as long as loud-mouthed chauvinists, on the streets, and in regional administrations, are given free rein [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is tragic that inhumane treatment of Bali’s mentally ill continues to this day. The medieval practice of chaining up those suffering from chronic psychiatric conditions persists in villages right around the island, a shameful reflection of standards of care and treatment under the Health Department. With a report this week by the local Suryani [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the attractions of natural-energy generation is the cleanliness of operation; there is none of the belching smoke associated with coal-fired plants, for instance. As with wind and wave generation, the power of nature is relatively simply harnessed to turn turbines and produce electricity, of which this island is starved, relying on neighbouring Java [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many respects, Bali is ahead of Indonesia as an overall country that is still in developmental stage, still struggling to provide infrastructure and services to its people on a par with those enjoyed – and frequently taken for granted – in Western nations. That is largely because of this island’s success in international tourism [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nearly a decade ago it seemed as though this small island had been destroyed.  With the loss of 202 lives in the bombings of 2002, and of a further 26 in a subsequent terrorist atrocity three years later, it looked as though Bali would be shunned and rendered solely to its ancient agrarian ways as [...]]]></description>

It is obvious that we are a victim of our success, but we are only in this mess because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Suggestions that high-rise buildings in Bali’s tightly packed southern regions will solve the island’s increase in overcrowding are badly misguided. Turning the once-rural island into a concrete jigsaw is not the answer. Stopping the rapid proliferation of tourist accommodation is. We have backed Governor I Made Mangku Pastika’s moratorium on the construction of new hotel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Designed to empower Indonesia’s diverse regions after the three-decade centralist reign of president Suharto, regional autonomy in many respects has not worked. It is not surprising, therefore, that there are growing calls for the decade-old project to be scrapped, the most recent coming this week from the Democratic Party in Bali. The main problem with [...]]]></description>

Their docile leaders, who traditionally eschew criticising the excesses of fellow member nations, including human rights abuses, due [...]]]></description>
