Many Chinese friends went on holiday during Easter.
But as soon as they landed in Australia, they were stopped by Australian border guard (ABF) and asked to check all their luggage and electronics.
I'm sure, I'm really upset!
Even, some disgust: why turn over my computer and mobile phone, this is a violation of my privacy!
However, even if upset, do not refuse their request, otherwise, minutes of law violations, or even facing prison.
Note: Australian Customs authority increase! If you want to check it out, you don't talk about it!
Professor Marinella Marmo, a criminologist, says border guard officials have rights to search for all your belongings, including computers and mobile phones!
"any border official can check anything you have with you, and the costs of these inspections, including the cost of going to the place of inspection, are at your own expense."
If they want to check the "privacy" of your electronic device, you don't refuse the searched rights at all. Otherwise, they can seize the item directly without consulting with you at all.
According to a bill passed by the federal parliament in December, if you don't allow the police to inspect your property, it may be considered a crime and property can be confiscated for up to 14 days.
If you get up directly with the border officer, you may well face imprisonment.
But recently, the friends who have just returned to Australia, really need to pay attention.
Ten million, don't be hard with the Australian customs...
Earlier this month, the Australian Immigration Service announced a major new deal, so that all the Chinese friends, can not help but surprise a cold sweat!
The effective date of the new deal is the 17th of this month!
If your friend wants to return home recently, remind him quickly, otherwise, he will never come back!
Never take a fluke mentality, carry contraband into the country with you, otherwise, waiting for you, is to cancel your visa in minutes, and be deported back to China indiscriminately!
No?
Oh, now Australian Customs, has started a crazy repatriation model!
And within three years, you have no right to apply for an Australian visa!
Your "Australian dream", before the beginning, so cold!
From April 17, if Australian temporary visa (temporary visas) holders carry contraband under customs regulations and deliberately conceal security personnel, they have the right to cancel the visa directly!
Not confiscating contraband or paying a fine.
This time, the Australian Customs is really playing!
Speechless! Australia's government ignores people's privacy and even monitors chat records!
However, Australia's government ignored the "privacy" of the people, is also well known.
After all, Australia's government has previously introduced law to become the first country in the world to force law to monitor social software.
Currently named social software including WhatsApp, fb and Messenger, Chinese commonly used social app is not included for the time being.
At present, Australia's government claims surveillance is limited to "serious violations," such as prevention of terrorism and organized crime.
Conclusion: no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter what your purpose is to come to Australia

Must comply with the world's strictest Australian customs immigration rules and co-operate with customs officers.
Don't get yourself into trouble.
