I don't understand why, after quarantine, the snakes aren't housed at a zoo or some other officially run location. That way they wouldn't be outside in the environment and wouldn't have to be killed. Such a waste of beautiful creatures!
The quarantine period would need to be for several years. Reptiles can carry dormant diseases that can erupt after long periods of time. They wouldn't have the resources to keep them that long.
The guy who had to do it, was emotional because he had no other choice. We need to protect our country, our wildlife and our plant life from outside our unique natural environment.
If you acted like that at US customs the police would already be there and you would be detained. Also the customs officer was correct it is not your passport. A passport is the property of the issuing government.
Why is it some peeps think the law applies to everyone but them. Somehow, they are more special; or they think some officer should risk their job and make them the exemption. Ignorance is no excuse. These officers are there working hard to support their families. Kindly treat them like human beings. Even if a person is tired or irritated. Patience will make the process so much faster and easier !
my heart goes out to Elvis, he was clearly young when he got involved with bike thefts and he did his time and seem to have been rehabilitated. He was also fully honest, didn't try to conceal anything, didn't try to emotionally manipulate.... I worked with juvenile convicted of crimes, even violent ones, and with help and guidance they grew up to be just another member of society living a normative life. He deserves a second chance and I really hope he managed to get the correct visa and had no other issues because of his past.
People think criminal behavior is "cool" but it often has consequences. Making excuses for them is contributing to the problem. Enablers like you disgust me.
its sad to see chinese goods ripping off australian brands such as roxy, quicksilver etc..that are no longer australian brands and are made in china at pretty much the same factories as the knock offs.
So sad to ship animals like this...what is wrong with people!!! All about money, money, money!! WHY IS IT THAT THE ANIMALS ALWAYS ARE THE ONES TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAN'S GREED & IGNORANCE, IN THE END????
Hey, before you go to a foreihn country, study, search, know the places, .. study the possible interview question. Ir is like taking a bus to Baguio city.
The family with drugs hidden in children books also carried an empty suitcase with hidden narcotics. The father said the books are from friends, but how about the empty suitcase, it's from friends too ?
I think the immigration situation should be addressed prior to a person leaving their own country to come here. Why was Elvis, for example, given permission to come here only to be stopped at the airport? I don’t understand it.
No one gets checked leaving a country unless there's some suspicious activity (like trying to get a gun into an airplane illegally). It's up to the destination country to determine if a person is admissible. It's up to the person to approach the receiving country to determine if they are eligible. The customs and immigration of one country can't be expected to know the rules of entry for the other 196 countries or to determine who is allowed to enter other countries.
I don't know what the situation is in Australia, but here in North America with the number of individuals who are living in poverty or who are homeless I would favor giving the clothing to them. Why waste it. Seized cigarettes are destroyed but why not sell them to a retailer who will sell them. Better than simply destroying them and you make a bit of money as well.
Stop at 55.00 There are so many homeless and needy people so why aren't the fake goods marked in a way to make them unsaleable and given to these people?
You know nothing at all about Sydney..well that's why you wanted to explore it. It's said to be beautiful, so why not have a holiday vacation there, right?.. hmmm...is that so wrong?? 3-4 days vacation abroad is fine, and spending more for it or beyond our salary is like a self-reward.. But then, if you're up to something different, it's a different story then... So maybe next time... when you plan to go somewhere abroad with a tourist visa, make sure to prepare your itinerary.. it's so easy searching thru the internet..it will serve like just a guide..
It's sad to see the government putting cardboard and textiles into landfills! The boxes should have been recycled, and the textiles should have been sent for recycling (shredding). Poor environmental practices!
I'm from Wollongong and I applied, got past a few stages in the selection process but came up short its very difficult to make it in. Also the commute to the gong aint that bad lots of people do it, literally 10s of thousands everyday, about an hour 20 to wollli creek.
yeah bro, that made no sense to me. people save up for months or even years for a trip that may be as little as a week long. especially from a poorer country like the Philippines
true, but it's out of the ordinary. This is also why such people are asked how much money they have, did they book a hotel and for how long ect. I have also traveled to places without a set plan but I made sure I have enough money to support myself, as well as contact info of local friends that could help me in case I have no where to sleep.
Relationships used to be less complicated before the internet! You found a boyfriend or girlfriend amongst the people you actually met in reality. Many of these people shown in these videos have travelled halfway across the world to meet someone they have never met before. What if the 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend' has changed their mind, or you don't find the real person attractive, or he or she doesn't even exist? It's too risky. Find a partner in your own country!
It is impossible that the newly married couple coming from Cuba did not know the rules,regulations & limits for bringing tobacco and seeds into the country. I know this because I’m a frequent Cuba traveler. She, the Aussie, would have entered and exited both Australia and Cuba repeatedly over a lengthy time to meet, date and eventually marry her spouse, the Cuban. She would have well known the rules. They got caught.
Most entering the country bought their traditional belongings like medicine without declaring, is it cheaper to pay a penalty, maybe they only do this to avoid further questioning unlike the Filipino guy.
If this fella wants to come to a country, without any questioning, plus have free room and board.... Wait there's more!!!! He'll get, some of the best medical care in the world.... Not only will he get those free benefits... There's much, more, besides being fed three meals a day, he'll get 600$ dollars to spend, at the grocery store... If that's not enough.... There's more. . . How about🤔..... A monthly stipend!!!!???? Now... If he has any more questions, he'll be given???? You guessed it!!!!! He'll get a completely free, unlocked phone.... With unlimited minutes!!!! Have no fear for he'll not be alone, there's thirty plus million, just like him, already in existence, here in America...
Citizenship appilcants need to be able to pass the citizenship test - which is in full english. So therefore they need to know enough english to pass it.
..again..there are cameras arond..so lets find someone to pick on so the customs officers, who are not the brightest or the best, can get on Telly - Cuban bloke brings in an instrument that is clearly an instrument and clearly has been decorated with material that has been lacquered and covered in polyurethane, thus destroying any chance of carrying contamination - we could use common sense or we could try and get on TV by harassing some poor bloke..

What was your favourite moment from this marathon? What types of Border Security stories are your favourite?
The Filipino men who enter AUS illegally (because I'm a Filipino 😊)

What about a private collector? There are several known ones, in Australia
@ That’s exactly where they were headed illegally!
They did say that some of the dormant diseases in them can be there for 7 - 14 years. That makes quarantine not a viable option.
CALL THE POLICE ON THE MAN WITH THE CIGARETTES
Absolutely
Exactly what would be happening if he would behave in this manner here
If you acted like that at US customs the police would already be there and you would be detained. Also the customs officer was correct it is not your passport. A passport is the property of the issuing government.
I am traumatized by snakes but ZERO animal deserves to be treated eith such cruelty....
Old man would still have his teeth if he didnt smoke 😂
Can’t afford to pay to have his teeth fixed, yet he can afford to pay for his travel, and tickets.
Nasty old man 👴

Self entitled people who have a problem with authority. They are the worst kind.
Its time to actually punish with serious fines
Its because of these people, we are entertained including you

😮 you're part of the problem then
People think criminal behavior is "cool" but it often has consequences. Making excuses for them is contributing to the problem. Enablers like you disgust me.
Never understand why people with previous convictions don’t seek advice from the embassy of the destination country before arriving
The old man angry about his cigarettes being taken is definitely Croatian 😂😂
That argument this out of control man needs to be arrested!!
Sad to see, that they survives the trip for nothing 😥
Poor snakes 🥺
It's a shame to bury all of those clothes in the ground when they could have been donated to homeless people
I so agree...there should have been a way to make them unmarketable & either given to the homeless or somehow recycled!!
Its just for the camera :)
its sad to see chinese goods ripping off australian brands such as roxy, quicksilver etc..that are no longer australian brands and are made in china at pretty much the same factories as the knock offs.
Maybe they prevent homeless ppl to sell it back to the importers ?
The old guy who threw a fit because he couldn't pay the fine/duty on the cigarettes - he's just flown in to Australia, how did he afford the flight?
Not the snakes! That’s terrible😢
So sad to ship animals like this...what is wrong with people!!! All about money, money, money!! WHY IS IT THAT THE ANIMALS ALWAYS ARE THE ONES TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAN'S GREED & IGNORANCE, IN THE END????
Thai, only for money 💰 🤑 💸
the Iranian fella was clearly trying to legg it to thailand, knowing he'd be a lot harder to track down there, silly stopping over in Australia
Melbourne. Needs more officer
Those poor snakes were starved and dehydrated. They were murdered by the person who sent them in the mail without food or water.
Melbourne. Custom. Need. Extra security
Melbourne needs extra officer. Asap

I don’t understand it.
the issue was work, he was still allowed to enter Australia as a tourist

@@edwardr7520 no, he could have gone to an embassy prior to leaving to check which would have saved him hassle
yeah destroy perfectly good clothing items instead of donating them to those in need, capitalism at its finest 😠😠
Could be infestation etc. And dangerous to the Australian environment.

14:32, ich denke der Mann hat eine Macke.😂😂😂😂
Maybe he thought the 250 Cigarettes means 250Packs of Cigarettes.hmm🤔
I don't understand....why the Immigration grant him a tourist visa?then he arrived,and stop him at the airport.
Is the Immigration allowed to show the face of that interviewed person?
The person needs to sign a consent form for the tv producers to be able to use their face, if they do not consent the producers must blur them.
Stop at 55.00
There are so many homeless and needy people so why aren't the fake goods marked in a way to make them unsaleable and given to these people?

y cannot spend 1 month salary for holiday ?
yeah bro, that made no sense to me. people save up for months or even years for a trip that may be as little as a week long. especially from a poorer country like the Philippines
Some people just want to travel, and don’t have an itinerary. I have actually done that, and it’s worked out beautifully.

@@noamjen No way
Same! I never have a plan and just wing it. I’d be the person saying I don’t know what I’ll be doing here, for sure 😂😂

1:02:31 I suspect Suki will never apply for an Australian spousal visa after this.
Bet that this Filipino man is saving more money a month than this immigration officer.
Is that somehow important to you? Do you think if you're rich, you can break the law?
@@edwardr7520😂i think you need to reread the comment

Elvis ? Lost his lic due to demerit points?? Not due to HIS behaviors earning those points? And you feel sorry for him? You're part of the problem
Australian zoo?
Ok I understand the clothing was counterfeit…..but really destroying it…..couldn’t it be distributed to homeless or poor …pathetic…
Just for the camera crew i dont believe even cigarettes are destroyed but made money out of them:)

I’m just staring at the cute immigration officer in the first 2 min of this video, although he’s asking silly questions
I don't understand how governments give citizenship to people who can barely speak the official language🤦♂

They know their country is not beautiful. Not much to see there. I do not know any Filipino staying or even thinks of staying illegally in Australia.
