The fines for bringing in biosecurity risk items, like fruits, vegetables, meats and seeds, have now increased from $360 to $2,440 with discretionary powers to increase that amount up to $20,000 depending on the amounts and concealment. Tourist, temporary student and work visas can now also be cancelled if they bring in banned items.
It should be more strict then it was because after watching this show for many years now, SO many travelers bring prohibited items and then the worst part THEY DONT DECLARE THEY HAVE RESTRICTED GOODS! It’s okay to make a mistake, traveling is stressful but at least admit to your mistake. If they keep brining restricted items in then they most certainly deserve the punishment.
Thank goodness. Sounds like they finally got fed up with people bringing in stuff they shouldn't and that the smaller fines seem like a slap on the wrist. Glad they're so steep now. Wow about visas being canceled for bringing in prohibited items.

Gosh! Hats off to Australian Customs Officers. So considerate and kind to perpetrators. Not one in all the videos I've watched has been rude or aggressive towards passengers. And VERY OBSERVANT!!! 🏆🎖🏅🥇
100% agreed. Come to Canada, the cbsa would hack you if they could. cbsa is very rude, unprofessional, power freaks, and agressive. Australian border officers are very professional and polite.
The Australian authorities are so professional compared to the US. They are not yelling, talking crazy to people, or threatening to harm anyone. They actually treat people with respect despite the crimes. Very interesting.
Can’t blame them. They’ve been handling a huge number of passengers coming from all over the world. They’re nice in general but if someone tries to mess with them, they will do he good.
It's cuz the US have been letting bad people or criminals if you wish get away with more and more and more to the point where it's so bad now we can't turn back. The criminals are terrible and the police have about had the s**** of it. The cops are getting worse because they're tired of dealing with the b.s. from criminals getting away with everything which makes the cops worse. I'm not saying cops are perfect but you try dealing with everyone they come in contact with is a Di-ck to them everyday.
No, I hide my cash and credit cards in different places on my body or baggage. Because of thieves or pickpockets. If they steal what is in my purse than I still have some cash or credit cards elsewhere. I didn’t do that in Paris when I was alone: the gypsies of the metro left me with no cash, no credit cards, nothing! One month after in London I separated all my belongings and saved myself! But of course, I don’t carry more than 10’000 dollars or euros, but a legal amount.
Exactly, why put the blame on the children for what they did? I don't know why, but I couldn't believe they would do something like that too there children.
It is amazing how professional and precise the rules are explained to travelers by the Australian border authorities. Precise codes are given and explained ,and even the opportunity for a last self defense statement is allowed. The American authorities could learn from this professionalism!
For a moment I thought when she took a sip from the bottle of water, I thought it was a drug that was affecting her. I was so afraid for her. I watched a similar thing happen to a young 16 year old kid crossing from Mexico to US and the border patrol officer made him take a sip of the liquid containing fentanyl. And even when he started getting sick within 10 minutes, she never called an ambulance to help him. And then they end up finding out that his parents were being held hostage till he delivered the drugs across the boarder.
This is ridiculous. If they don’t declare food, the fine should be $1,000 minimally. If they do it again, they should automatically refuse them entry. That’s the only way to stop this nonsense.
Yes, but if they do that, they won't have repeat offenders! If they don't have repeat offenders they can't make more money from the dummies who keep trying to trick the system:)
I’ve traveled quite a bit in my lifetime and have never been stopped by customs anywhere. Do your research about the place you are traveling to and know what is prohibited! Claiming you weren’t aware is absolutely ridiculous and irresponsible!

Our fines here in Australia are too small.. $360 for trying to smuggle in a heap of prohibited food is not high enough. Or at least go to court or something.. they know what they are doing
@Raylzway I condemn this act of bringing prohibited items but in my opinion the fines are not less. They are less for Australians maybe but for people from south Asia, south American, or Africa, $360 can worth as much as monthly salary of average person there. All because good AUD value worldwide. 😊
@@shanessy888 i think it is because you can live and earn in Australia. The fines for these visitors are less because they are mostly tourists or relatives of someone living here and live for very short term in Australia. They cannot earn in Australia and they come with very limited money ($4000-$5000). So $400 is almost 15% of their total budget of stay.
surprisingly, most of people on this TV series did put a smile on their face not only them in the similar or even worse situation. I think its just their own coping strategies that they developed in that situation
People from Southern US States smile when apologizing. Northeners feel ofended, thinking them insincere. All in America! Different folks, different strokes.
At the end of the Day every action has a reaction.... the brazilian girl thought she was doing no wrong and says can't believe they're doing that to her, honey you dis it to your own self its a STUDENT VISA....
It may not have been ID theft and simply fake ID's and that also should come with a penalty but if she didn't make the ID's in the country that she's landing it, that's not a crime that they can charge for.

@@thedoc9062 Asians usually bring in cultrual foods processed in ways not available in the west. They're pretty expensive although I don't get why they always act so ignorant
After 9 mins of watching, just a suggestion: when you ask someone a question, do not offer them the answer. Do not. Wait for an answer. Do not give them examples of what you want. Let them answer. Let their anxiety rise, possibly causing more truthfulness more quickly.
If she’s neither citizen nor permanent resident, she should also have been sent straight back and barred from entering for a few years, after paying a big fine of course.
1:39:18 Lying? Nah! 😂 I don’t know why so many people insist on bringing food, and things to grow into a foreign country. Plus the fact that they lie about it!
When I travel, I look forward to trying the local cuisine. Besides, it weighs a lot and I struggle enough with what clothes to bring...lol. Especially, when travel to a place where the weather can be both hot/sunny and cold/rainy.
I imagine it might be to do with wanting to cook food to taste like at home, we still don't have the variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Generally they weren't educated on why biosecurity is important, especially in Australia as an island country/continent. Depending on when this is, they may not be available. In recent times with TCM becoming more available, many medicinal plants and herbs are available but at astronomical prices comparatively. Not justifying, just speculating.
@@julesverneinoz They know when they check a No box versus a Yes box and then sign it. They know what a lie is.

@@virginia2949 I can't say about now, but 30 years ago when I ticked 'No', I was missing context. When I saw 'food' I had to think what this means. I've traveled to SEA countries before and were familiar with the cash limit, weapons, etc. and why. So I thought it was referring to fresh food and not shelf-stable products. I thought, maybe they're concerned about cleanliness. That first trip in, I brought a few packs of instant noodles and boy, did I got in trouble. Instant noodles weren't allowed 30 years ago because they contain egg. Nowadays with Internet, it was relatively easier to search information on this and you can use Google Translate. Smart Traveller website is always a wealth of information. Department of Agriculture website was extremely helpful navigating on what's allowed and what's not coming back into Australia. However I'm acknowledging that Internet access are not yet universal and some travelers do travel 'adventurously'.
I had great experiences too at the US airports, Maimi, LA and Las Vegas. I would love to travel again to America. No need to smuggle druggs or forbidden food, I just want to enjoy my stay. So no risk!!!
I can imagine me getting caught at customs trying to smuggle in a suitcase of In-N-Out burgers. "But officer, they are "Animal Style", try one." IFKYK, am I right? LOL
Some people handle stress by smiling others handle it by giggling or acting silly, which can come across as cocky just because somebody’s acting like that does not necessarily mean they’re being cocky or know it all or confident

We should do the "damage to Australian's [insert industry name] multi million dollars industry" bingo. "Sir you've not declared your hair flakes, which are a bio hazard and could damage Australia's multi million dollar hair industry. You'll be fined and your head will be discarded".
I find it somewhat frustrating that everyone is expressing a consistent sentiment of being unaware of the situation, while simultaneously indicating that their friends were responsible for packing the bag. Being honest and genuine is free and rewarding, lies is too costly. Well done Australia Border Security ❤ 🇦🇺
They are in Australia for quite some time, but unable to speak or understand English. Very very weird. Come to Australia to study but unable to speak or understand English.
yep Australia seems to think that asian and middle east people will change there values over time and become AUS when none of that is true ... there thinking is there is this dumb country called Australia that is easy to steal money from and defruad you dont even get in trouble for it so lets go there and take advantage of them and send there money back home to our country and just support our people while living there .
I have lots of good friends in US and on every visit I had no trouble I was treaded with respect .worst airport treatment was in Vancouver Canada . Second Germany 😊
How did the chinese woman (who couldn't speak English so sought out another passenger to help her interpret) get Australian citizenship when she couldn't speak English? Does Australia not have rules about that? As British citizens born and bred, emigrating to Canada, we had to prove that we spoke good English or French (Canada is a bilingual nation) as part of being accepted for immigration. I'm quite puzzled at this because it seems watching this show, there are many people with Australian citizenship, originally from other countries who do not appear to be able to speak English. Also what annoys me is that when faced with passengers whose English is not very good, the officers continue to use language that it's obvious the passenger isn't going to understand. Instead of simplifying what they are saying as in one instance here the dog sits by a Vietnamese guy's bag and the officer is explaining badly what it means "it means a positive reaction to narcotics" surely she realised that the guy probably didn't have a clue what she was talking about. She could have said "it means that you might have drugs in your bag". Surely they get taught how to speak to passengers whose English isn't good? I'd be astonished if they weren't.
What I don't understand is the risk to agriculture. The food has already landed in your country. The plane they arrived in is sitting outside, giving pest a chance to make their escape (assuming luggage was underneath the plane) so you seizing the food items doesn't change much
They are very close to Australia paired with the fact that Asian countries have a vastly different food culture to Australia and alot of their food products cant be found there, or are very difficult or expensive to find. Thats why the Asian offenders are almost always food. It makes total sense tbh

The only question is.. how many citizens of Australia born, raised and educated are willing to work in a farm with minimum wage? no health insurance coverage and poor housing accomodations? The same thought are the same concerning the USA.. where someone tried to pay them (locals and citizens) over and above the minimum and did not last a day on the job. Besides the owner farmer of the land working, who else are willing to work in such conditions? USA used to have a "Bracero" program (not accurate on the word) where migrants are allowed to stay 6 months in planting and 6 months of harvesting. Agriculture is the backbone of any country otherwise they will import most of the goods from other country.
Your question is flawed. Why? Because in the US the legitimate employers would not be paying that low because a US citizen would file a grievance with wage & hour board. The employers that got busted in Australia know exactly what they’re doing by hiring illegal aliens for hardly any money.
In this case the lady wasn't aware that the dates were something to declare as they were Dried.

Sorry, but I just don’t understand about the “substantial” fine. I’m not rich, but a $340 fine is not “substantial” in my books. That won’t even get you a day at Disney World! When I first heard them telling someone that it could be a substantial fine, I’m thinking several thousand dollars, not just $340.

Question? when carrying cash over the prohibited limit, is not good and they can sieze it., but if you enter without any cash (using credit cards only) nobody carries cash anymore.. they doubt about your existence. SO WHAT GIVES?
All I know is Australia is way smarter than America when it comes to this!!! I can only imagine how background checks at the boarder has saved Australia!!!👊🏽💣 💥
Saved them? Australia has nearly 50% of the world's known and historically recorded mammal extinctions. They themselves have introduced rats and other pests into their ecosystem and now they heckle passengers who take food with them. It's too little too late, half of their ecodiversity is gone, the other half in rapid decline

They are less for Australians maybe but for people from south Asia, south American, or Africa, $360 can worth as much as monthly salary of average person there. All because good AUD value worldwide. 😊
And we got fine more for running red light or speed just over 10km/hr the legal limit 😒
@@shanessy888 i think it is because you can live and earn in Australia. The fines for these visitors are less because they are mostly tourists or relatives of someone living here and live for very short term in Australia. They cannot earn in Australia and they come with very limited money ($4000-$5000). So $400 is almost 15% of their total budget of stay.
Craziest episode of Is It Cake ever
1:26:08 I find it a bit annoying that they seem to think a big smile is going to get them out of trouble.
I am more irritated by the old woman pout 😡 Being an old woman myself.
It's a cultural thing. A lot of cultures smile and laugh to show discomfort or awkwardness.
surprisingly, most of people on this TV series did put a smile on their face not only them in the similar or even worse situation. I think its just their own coping strategies that they developed in that situation
People from Southern US States smile when apologizing. Northeners feel ofended, thinking them insincere. All in America! Different folks, different strokes.
1:26:05 I find it really annoying this parents being so naive while their son taking responsible for what he didn't have to 😫
At the end of the Day every action has a reaction.... the brazilian girl thought she was doing no wrong and says can't believe they're doing that to her, honey you dis it to your own self its a STUDENT VISA....
Commit identity theft and no criminal penalty????
It may not have been ID theft and simply fake ID's and that also should come with a penalty but if she didn't make the ID's in the country that she's landing it, that's not a crime that they can charge for.
Mr Botox picking his nose searching for a way out of prison 🤣
He's not the only one that will be three knuckles deep 😶
😂😂😂😂😂
He might have a good time in there 😮
Where would we be without border security patience of a saint we ar indebted to their dedication and I love those detection dogs great little hounds these people keep us safe thank you all great prople
Is there food in Australia? So many people bring in food?
You are not serious, right? Its because its most likely something they dont have in Australia.
@@Bochombochom: nah my friend, it’s available on shore, just costs more. They trying to save the Pennies, but loosing out the dollars.
They bring in the contents of various dumpster scrapings to me. I wretch sometimes while watching the rotten,insect infested of what they consider safe. 🤢🤢🤮
Not serious. It just seams like everyone brings in so much. I had a box of chocolate Easter eggs in my case and was worried sick I was breaking a law.
@@thedoc9062 Asians usually bring in cultrual foods processed in ways not available in the west. They're pretty expensive although I don't get why they always act so ignorant
After 9 mins of watching, just a suggestion: when you ask someone a question, do not offer them the answer. Do not. Wait for an answer. Do not give them examples of what you want. Let them answer. Let their anxiety rise, possibly causing more truthfulness more quickly.
14:08 This is a perfect example of “looks can be deceiving”. This man looked decent and an honest man until he opened his mouth 😅😅
I guess I can't be a border agent. These guys are too patient 😅
$360 fines to the Chinese woman it’s a joke. $3600 is about fair to anyone else got fined.
If she’s neither citizen nor permanent resident, she should also have been sent straight back and barred from entering for a few years, after paying a big fine of course.
1:39:18 Lying? Nah! 😂
I don’t know why so many people insist on bringing food, and things to grow into a foreign country. Plus the fact that they lie about it!
Because they are not held accountable.
When I travel, I look forward to trying the local cuisine. Besides, it weighs a lot and I struggle enough with what clothes to bring...lol. Especially, when travel to a place where the weather can be both hot/sunny and cold/rainy.
I imagine it might be to do with wanting to cook food to taste like at home, we still don't have the variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Generally they weren't educated on why biosecurity is important, especially in Australia as an island country/continent.
Depending on when this is, they may not be available. In recent times with TCM becoming more available, many medicinal plants and herbs are available but at astronomical prices comparatively.
Not justifying, just speculating.
@@julesverneinoz They know when they check a No box versus a Yes box and then sign it. They know what a lie is. But they feel very comfortable about lying and often are very nasty when their lie is exposed. They often continue to lie throughout the search process. It is not ignorance they are displaying but entitlement and total disrespect towards the country they are entering.
@@virginia2949 I can't say about now, but 30 years ago when I ticked 'No', I was missing context. When I saw 'food' I had to think what this means. I've traveled to SEA countries before and were familiar with the cash limit, weapons, etc. and why. So I thought it was referring to fresh food and not shelf-stable products. I thought, maybe they're concerned about cleanliness. That first trip in, I brought a few packs of instant noodles and boy, did I got in trouble. Instant noodles weren't allowed 30 years ago because they contain egg.
Nowadays with Internet, it was relatively easier to search information on this and you can use Google Translate. Smart Traveller website is always a wealth of information. Department of Agriculture website was extremely helpful navigating on what's allowed and what's not coming back into Australia.
However I'm acknowledging that Internet access are not yet universal and some travelers do travel 'adventurously'.
It must be so tiring for the officers listening to these lies every day from people who pretend not to speak English.
I am gagging here over the foods that these people have gone to great lengths to bring into the country - so disgusting.
Racist
@@joshuaatkins4360Nothing racist about her comment.
13:43, The custom officer not even entertaining his attitude
I had great experiences too at the US airports, Maimi, LA and Las Vegas. I would love to travel again to America. No need to smuggle druggs or forbidden food, I just want to enjoy my stay. So no risk!!!
I used to work for the post office and would deliver dripping cardboard parcels to Asian households. 🤷♀️
Ns… why didn’t you report it
Ewwe...😝
So gross. Can't they buy food in the country the live in
@@christopherm5958 Most countries don't have lizard heads, assorted snake, beetle stew and eye of newt on hand lol.
@@drewdrew7968 you know, you don't need to be racist in order to make a point, even you know you're exaggerating here.
The senior couple are so funny.
I can imagine me getting caught at customs trying to smuggle in a suitcase of In-N-Out burgers. "But officer, they are "Animal Style", try one." IFKYK, am I right? LOL
Some people handle stress by smiling others handle it by giggling or acting silly, which can come across as cocky just because somebody’s acting like that does not necessarily mean they’re being cocky or know it all or confident
Chinese bring food are always the funnest 😂
24:08.... 😂 The guy got nervous, his I.B.S. kicked in, and he ended up shatting his pellets out WAY too early. 🤣
What a stinky suitcase that would have been... 🫢
I wish more countries would be as strict as Australian border forces, mybe we would not have so high amount of crimes done .....
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤very good Australian airport custom well done
We should do the "damage to Australian's [insert industry name] multi million dollars industry" bingo.
"Sir you've not declared your hair flakes, which are a bio hazard and could damage Australia's multi million dollar hair industry. You'll be fined and your head will be discarded".
Oh my God! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
How do you not know to delete your text messages if you're trying to deceive the officers
I find it somewhat frustrating that everyone is expressing a consistent sentiment of being unaware of the situation, while simultaneously indicating that their friends were responsible for packing the bag. Being honest and genuine is free and rewarding, lies is too costly. Well done Australia Border Security ❤ 🇦🇺
My God people carry alot of dangerous staff
They are in Australia for quite some time, but unable to speak or understand English. Very very weird.
Come to Australia to study but unable to speak or understand English.
Of course they speak it... Language skills out the window when in front of immigration...
they’re more interested in smuggling in exotic fruits and animal products 🥩 And identify theft 🪪
Whenever immigrants are breaking the law, they suddenly forget how to speak English.
yep Australia seems to think that asian and middle east people will change there values over time and become AUS when none of that is true ... there thinking is there is this dumb country called Australia that is easy to steal money from and defruad you dont even get in trouble for it so lets go there and take advantage of them and send there money back home to our country and just support our people while living there .
WELL WELL DONE AUSTRALIA !!!!!!!
I love our country ❤
Do not work if it revokes your visa. If you are eating a candy bar and you accidentally drop the wrapper,don’t even pick it up.
I have lots of good friends in US and on every visit I had no trouble I was treaded with respect .worst airport treatment was in Vancouver Canada . Second Germany 😊
Canadians are known to be polite! Too bad! 😢
Passanger: "my friend have wedding"
Security: "do you know how many times I hear that exact same line?"
Why are you so lenient with these crooks?
How did the chinese woman (who couldn't speak English so sought out another passenger to help her interpret) get Australian citizenship when she couldn't speak English? Does Australia not have rules about that? As British citizens born and bred, emigrating to Canada, we had to prove that we spoke good English or French (Canada is a bilingual nation) as part of being accepted for immigration. I'm quite puzzled at this because it seems watching this show, there are many people with Australian citizenship, originally from other countries who do not appear to be able to speak English. Also what annoys me is that when faced with passengers whose English is not very good, the officers continue to use language that it's obvious the passenger isn't going to understand. Instead of simplifying what they are saying as in one instance here the dog sits by a Vietnamese guy's bag and the officer is explaining badly what it means "it means a positive reaction to narcotics" surely she realised that the guy probably didn't have a clue what she was talking about. She could have said "it means that you might have drugs in your bag". Surely they get taught how to speak to passengers whose English isn't good? I'd be astonished if they weren't.
If I'm forbidden from entering, they don't need to worry about banning me, I won't ever go back
It amazes me why people bring stuff in that can be bought from the first Chinese/asian shop they come to.
What I don't understand is the risk to agriculture. The food has already landed in your country. The plane they arrived in is sitting outside, giving pest a chance to make their escape (assuming luggage was underneath the plane) so you seizing the food items doesn't change much
He is just hungry or tired already. Can you see it in his eyes? Tired, not frightened. But tired.
Is there a reason why most of the offenders are Asian? I was quite surprised by this.
Basically they have a high value on ethnic foods and also, if Chinese, have total contempt for any laws in general.
its the closest continent
Asians always travel with food. Just think of the millions of kg that got through. They whole system is a huge joke.
what did you expect?
They are very close to Australia paired with the fact that Asian countries have a vastly different food culture to Australia and alot of their food products cant be found there, or are very difficult or expensive to find. Thats why the Asian offenders are almost always food. It makes total sense tbh
Flying on an overseas flight and going through customs wearing shorts and flip flops. Are they just asking to get stopped?
What’s wrong with shorts and thongs? That’s a perfectly reasonable outfit to wear in an Australian summer
@@liby767So you change into them once you get into the country. Appearances as well as hygiene are important to security
@@elizabethstops2362 as long as you’re clean you won’t smell in that outfit, and if you aren’t clean you’ll smell regardless of the outfit, so i still don’t see what the issue is with the outfit that he’s wearing
Really??? Grow up
@elizabethstops2362 wearing shorts and flip flops has nothing to do with hygiene. So you just assume everyone wearing it are dirty? Come one get a reality check
All repeats again over and over and over again!!!!!!
Skippie...Just because you have seen it doesn't mean everybody else has.
@@pamelahoberg1800 repeats are weekly no need to keep reposting and I think yes everyone has seen it
Well Skippie...I'm one person that hasn't seen them all 😂
Skippie please. These are from 2 decades ago. Is the show still on in Australia?
I'm Viet as well. My parents always bring back huge cardboard boxes of foodstuff back to Canada after a trip to Vietnam. Something about Viet parents always bringing back their body weight in Viet food lol
Notice how the male smugglers were sentenced to 5years of prison and women 3 years of youth centre all while carrying the very same amounts.
Officer Lisa is on top of her game !!!!!!!!!!
22:03 "Sorry...I dunn-no...Sorry...I dunn-no."
Um, lady, I think you do know.
The elderly Chinese couple are funny !!✌️✌️😂
‘Deception Point’ by Dan Brown 📖💊😂😂😂😂
Lord if they did this in United States I couldn’t imagine . they don’t play games
The tiny fine amount is a joke, you are simply encouraged people not to declare items they should have.
The only question is.. how many citizens of Australia born, raised and educated are willing to work in a farm with minimum wage? no health insurance coverage and poor housing accomodations? The same thought are the same concerning the USA.. where someone tried to pay them (locals and citizens) over and above the minimum and did not last a day on the job. Besides the owner farmer of the land working, who else are willing to work in such conditions? USA used to have a "Bracero" program (not accurate on the word) where migrants are allowed to stay 6 months in planting and 6 months of harvesting. Agriculture is the backbone of any country otherwise they will import most of the goods from other country.
Your question is flawed. Why? Because in the US the legitimate employers would not be paying that low because a US citizen would file a grievance with wage & hour board. The employers that got busted in Australia know exactly what they’re doing by hiring illegal aliens for hardly any money.
We do have that in Australia dude😂. It's called a working holiday visa.
1:02:56 This man doesn’t lie well at all!
Why on Earth do we do written warnings? Just fine every single one of them. Easy revenue stream.
Bc of honest mistakes, it makes sure ppl want to report or fess up, rather than keep hiding it and get a fine
Subscribe
They should fine them and take the food. No warning
In this case the lady wasn't aware that the dates were something to declare as they were Dried. To many people Fruits are like Peaches,bananas and not dried package fruit like dates that are actually allowed! But they have a pit so that is Why they aren't good. So it is a Very Honest mistake so I get the written warning. Vs a Fine for Purposely bringing like the other lady peaches
I find it really annoying this parents being so naive while their son taking responsible for what he didn't have to 😫
Sorry, but I just don’t understand about the “substantial” fine. I’m not rich, but a $340 fine is not “substantial” in my books. That won’t even get you a day at Disney World! When I first heard them telling someone that it could be a substantial fine, I’m thinking several thousand dollars, not just $340.
25:07 The irony of finding fecal matter in a “duty free” box 😂
Most kids are in the water from 6 weeks old and can swim and dive by 3. I am 68 and learnt when I was 4. And yes, most drowning events are foreigners who don't know about rips in the ocean.
1:14:48 What’s that? The woman goes from laughing to shaking her head abruptly as if she j smelled something bad. 😂
It’s funny when the officer looks at an insect 🦟 and calls it an animal 😮
They are animals though
It's an animal. What's your point?
Right!! He should’ve called it “living being”… Or living creature.. How dare he refer to it as an animal!!! 🙄. Who cares what he called it? He could call it an ice cream sundae if he wanted to. It’s still alive and it’s dangerous to the country.
Insects ARE animals. They're not plants, fungi, or single-cell organisms.
Question? when carrying cash over the prohibited limit, is not good and they can sieze it., but if you enter without any cash (using credit cards only) nobody carries cash anymore.. they doubt about your existence. SO WHAT GIVES?
Cash is often from crime money laundering.
All I know is Australia is way smarter than America when it comes to this!!! I can only imagine how background checks at the boarder has saved Australia!!!👊🏽💣 💥
Saved them? Australia has nearly 50% of the world's known and historically recorded mammal extinctions. They themselves have introduced rats and other pests into their ecosystem and now they heckle passengers who take food with them. It's too little too late, half of their ecodiversity is gone, the other half in rapid decline
And you know this how? Frequent traveler?
