Overview
- Immigration chief Hery Winarko said Tia Billinger and three male collaborators, including Australian comedian Julian Wood, will be deported and blacklisted for at least a decade.
- Removal will occur after police finish their inquiry, with a fast-track traffic trial scheduled at Denpasar District Court over the vehicle linked to her filming.
- Authorities determined the group misused tourist visas to produce content, with no pornographic elements identified in the material reviewed so far.
- Avoiding anti‑pornography charges spares potential penalties of up to 15 years in prison and fines of about AU$541,000.
- Police previously seized the pickup branded the “Bang Bus” along with cameras and other items, and Billinger has since said the “bang bus is over.”
