TEMPO.CO, Denpasar - Following the strained diplomatic relation between Indonesia and Australia over spying row, the security at the Australian embassy and a number of Australian consulates has been increased, including the building of the Australian consulate general in Bali.
However, as of now, Bali police have yet to deploy more security personnel but the quality of security measures, such as the duration of the security measure, has been increased, said Head of Public Relations Division of Bali Police, AKBP Haryadi to Tempo yesterday.
