Border Security: Australia's Front Line

I have watched many many episodes of Australian Border force, I am a law abiding citizen but would never come to Australia as your immigration processes are totally over the top You will stop people coming to your country. Maybe that's what you want but post Covid, nobody would be wanted to be treated like you treat people.

One wonders why the customs dept don't employ more Chinese speakers on the frontline. Also why airlines originating from China don't show landing videos in Chinese.

Very uneven treatment of visitors. One NZ couple forgot to dump an apple or something, given to them by the airline for lunch and were fined the same as others bringing in undeclared suitcases full of banned food.

Would put me off visiting if this was a true reflection of border rules... Maybe these are exceptions selected just for the programme.

This programme is completely ruined by the loud background music. Like most people I have neighbours so I either turn it down and try to hear what is being said over the music or I usually end up switching over. The music doesn't add to the drama it's just very aggravating.

As someone who also came into Australia, I zipped through immigration and was hopping in a taxi in no time ---- because I followed the rules.

For those going on about apples and bananas, a law is a law.

I understood I was entering someone else's country and there are laws I need to abide by.

And for those who insist on bringing cooked food in their suitcase, my question is WHY????

There's an abundance of food in Australia. And you can find dishes and ingredients from so many foreign cultures here so why embarrass yourself like this?

And you know what --- if you want to only eat stuff from your home country, STAY HOME.

You're coming to Australia so eat what's bloody available here and leave your pork rolls at home.
