Reaction to Laidley family Bali incident

@kerry_lambert (Kerry Lambert) Wowsers. Just reading abt Dean Laidley Bali nightmare holiday. Hope his family is OK. Was supposed to be a happy time...

@ozzdoll (julie meadows) Isn't it time Australians stopped going to Bali & put money into travelling & exploring Australia & NOT other countries such as Bali!!

@Crazy_Lei_Lei (Lei Lei) Well Aussies seem to be giving Bali some negative publicity right now. Poor Dean Laidley and family.

@LukeDAnello (Luke D'Anello) Feels for Dean Laidley. No one deserves that. Shows the risk of travelling overseas unfortunately.

@DanielFisher (Daniel Fisher) Bali's not getting much love in the lead up to

Schoolies ...

@ DAEX77 (Damien Excell) Ok, Bali isn't being added to my holiday wish list!
