Wow, the guy visiting from England to see his daughter and newborn granddaughter being denied visa because of a conviction from over 40 years ago!! That’s so harsh☹️💔
I think the border agent was pretty clear that it was mostly due to his previous non compliance with immigration laws (previously not reporting the conviction, and over staying his visa by 2+ yrs) that caused him to reject the visa.

Asking these question over and over cant remember ..I always hear judge Judy says if you tell the truth ;you dont have to have a good memory ..😢😢😢😢😢😅😢😢😮
1:42:57. Now this man I actually have sympathy for. To a certain degree. As he says. Even though I understand that it is a serious case, Why should he be still held accountable for something that happened 40 years ago. That is seriously ridiculous. I mean, does this mean the man is now prevented from ever traveling abroad? He should however have declared it on arrival. In fact, he should have even known the facts regarding his former conviction before he left England. Now, on the other hand there is also the matter of him actually overstaying the conditions of his visa on a previous occasion by over two years and no... I do not believe his telling of the story that he just wanted to make sure his daughter has settled in and made friend and such. Sorry buddy, but that does not warrant a three year stay when your visa was clearly issued for only six moths. Why is it that I have never ever even traveled abroad, yet I am aware of all these regulations, yet people who often travel, seems oblivious to it? It makes no sense.
Yes. Once you have a criminal record you’re ineligible to be permitted for entry into almost all countries of the world legally. Doesn’t matter how long ago it was, he should’ve thought about it before becoming a criminal. People from other countries aren’t even eligible to apply let alone come to the border to plead their case.
I told and told and told my Filipina wife not to pack any, ANY, food. None, nada, nowt, nothing. I told her that she could get anything that she could possibly want at any of the gazillions of Philippine goods shops in Australia. Yet upon arrival the first thing that was pulled out of her cases was a packet of raw Tilapia fish!!!! $120 later I struggled valiantly to keep my mouth shut.
I went to Australia b4. On my holiday with my friend. And they Asked me. What am gonna do here in Australia? I just said vacation.. He said where are you staying? Hotels of course. Can you show me booking? Of course... Final quistion... Have you /or did you bring fruits on you?? I said no because you have a lot of fruits in Austria so if i want to eat just buy some..... My English is not that brilliant At least he understands me. 😂😂😂From Philippines.
Yeah, I'm not understanding why she didn't just say she was vacationing? You speak and write better English than A LOT of people whose English is actually their first language. 😂
I don’t understand how some people think they can really get away with things like this . They should know and respect the law to the county that they are going to…
I'll preface my comment with: I realize he made a poor decision the last visit. But he was trying to do the right thing this time. He could've easily lied again, but he decided to be truthful, and it worked against him. My heart breaks for the grandfather 😢 He just wanted to see his children and hold his grandbaby for the 1st time. He paid his debt to society over 40 years ago. That kid was just power-hungry! He could've let that man in.
Asm per his 40 year old conviction, certainly yes. But staying 3 years on a 6 month visa is quite another bowl of soup. In that end, the young "power hungry" kid actually has no choice. If he is to wave the breach of a visa rule, the guy has to prove that it would cause great trauma or other serious consequences that he couldn't produce as he could see his grandchild outside Australia and thus was not subject to serious consequences when denied entry. Don't judge the guy doing his job properly as he is supposed to do. Judge the people who made the laws he has to uphold. And when you do, also give a thought to the reasons behind that law.
I strongly disagree. If it had been my choice I would have forgiven the bank robbery if he had gone to the consulate while he was still in the UK. However, he lied on his last visa and overstayed it by 2 1/2 yeasts.
I understand they want to protect their country but it was really not logical. So mean. Thankfully I never wanted to visit that country (beautiful country.)
Really it's his own fault. If he had just gone to the Australian Embassy in the UK and applied for a visitor visa there they would most likely have taken on board that the conviction was a long time ago and if he hasn't done anything since they they would probably grant it and he would have sailed through on arrival. However he lied about it once before and then did it again leaving them no choice. Obviously he's embarrassed about it but the people in the embassy have probably seen it all before and deal with this stuff every day.
I agree. I believe he can apply for an exemption and because the crimes were 40 years ago he has a great chance of getting it. However he also overstayed a previous visa by 2 1/2 years....
1:42:50 penalised 40 odd years after a major breach of law. Perhaps they are right in stopping entry, but the authorities could have tempered justice with mercy to allow his family to meet with him under customs controlled conditions at the airport, before exiling him.
While agree about what you say about being punished for a crime committed 40 years ago, he also lied and overstayed his welcome by a long time. I do feel sorry for him. He just wanted to see his granddaughter and his daughter.
Lying about a criminal record is a reason to refuse entry on it's own, but it doesn't mean he would have been refused as it's so long ago. It's that he stayed for 3 years on a 6 month Visa that did him in.
Right? Just memorize a few landmarks, and when they asked about that letter, she should have just said, "Nah, not paid, just a hook-up, that's my kink."
I’ve traveled over seas to the Dominican Republic, and while I don’t know what the places I went are called because they’re in Spanish, I can easily describe them. She couldn’t even say whether the bridge she walked was over a road or water 😅
@@jenniferdaulby5519nah. I think the officer was wrong. I just did a search online and I don’t see any animal involved into making those Chinese medicines
True. At this point, i believe the reason why he told the truth about everything is that he genuinely dont want to jeopardize his entry and genuinely just want to spent his days his his family and probably not over stay again to be able to come back if needed be without scrutiny.
Between 1788 and 1868 more than 162,000 convicts were transported to Australia. Of these, about 7,000 arrived in 1833 alone. The convicts were transported as punishment for crimes committed in Britain and Ireland. The old man just was one to many… The young guy that made this decision clearely has no kids himself nor emphatic emotions.
The guy couldn’t see his children and grand children… but the people who knowingly bring in prohibited items are allowed to come into the country. What?!?
Hold on: Never mind the bank robbery: (1) he overstayed his visa last time by 6 YEARS, and (2) he lied on his visa about committing a crime because he was afraid he wouldn't be allowed in. This guy seems to feel that the law does not apply to him if it doesn't fit his agenda. Glad he was denied.
IKR! He did his time and shouldn’t keep being punished 40 years later, especially since he hadn’t got in anymore trouble. No wonder he lied the previous time. It really hurt my heart to see him so emotional.
,their absolutely ridiculous...the one young man is going to be working while there . And thats a no no .. because they said it's illegal to work on a visitor visa ..who the heck would wanna go there. U can't even take a 💩... without it being illegal..
@@Jenna816-m6vI swear they act like people are going there to get rich 😂 then your money u bring to eat hotel and enjoy yourself might be too much money or not enough money
@@Jenna816-m6vIf he wanted to work while there, he should have applied for a WORK Visa not a TOURIST Visa. It’s really not that difficult to apply for the correct Visa.
yup . some bs to exclude a guy for something that happened in 78. at least give him a 2 week and if he doesn't report to immigration after that put a warrant out for his arrest. Heart breaking to see an elderly gentleman declined access to his 5 week old grand daughter . pathetic Australia ! To be expected after how they treated Novak though
@@jaerockchalk3216 How is it BS? It's called consequence. They still would have let him in last time had he told them about his criminal record, but this time he got caught out for that lie and for also overstaying that Visa by 2.5 years. Sad is it may be, they are doing their job and he only has himself to blame.
What happened to that old sweet man who just wanted to visit his daughters and grandchild is the true definition of applying the law “blindly”. There is what is called the “spirit” of the law which should have been applied here. What a shame.
I think he was refused for his recent crime of lying on his previous visa application and overstaying that visa by 2.5 years. He is not a poor old man. They might have let him in if he hadn’t lied on his last visit.
He was sincere, honest, mistakes along the way, and then we watch people GROSSLY defying laws, pretending not to understand, lying that drug paraphernalia is not theirs...sheesh that gentleman had dignity, class, looked the interviewer in the eyes...
Sending grandad back home was so wrongs when others have done the same thing & slapped on the wrist & allowed to enter, like a young South African guy I just watched, he said it's embarrassing to tick tick the box, they cautioned him & let him in.
No. They don’t. Its bad luck to be chosen to get investigated in a way your bag has to be ripped off. I have been the unfortunate one, my bag didn’t get ripped off but they were concerned about the pickles I had as the xray showed seed (live plants and viable seeds are not allowed in the US) and when they found out it was pickled they let me go.

You can apply for reimbursement & they eventually pay you but I don't think they do it on the spot. You have to submit paperwork, etc. & wait for it to be reviewed. At least that's the way it is in the UK.
Boggles my mind some of the food Asians will eat. Not everything that walks. Crawls or slithers is meant for human consumption. I get the population & poverty, lack of access to resources one will eat what ever they can for survival. Yet there’s many who come to America & other countries that provide abundant resources & yet they STILL continue these ways!
1:35:04 'come back here infront', something about this rubs me the wrong way... Im glad she stood her ground... why is he trying to make her move back over 2 steps for? power tripper...
Agreed, glad she stood ground what difference does two steps make. @teresatv9209 they found no drugs on her person or luggage just pipes - not a proven drug user. I could buy a pipe but do nothing with it doesnt mean I do drugs
As an American I sure wish our border was this secure and regulated. And why is it the Asian people always forget, didn't know, or just flat ignore claiming items. Things that are legal they still say NO and get fined. It's ridiculous from my point of view.
Me to I hope they learn from this experiecly sorry to say but from Iran Conistan even Russia Pakistan check out passports see if real or fake passport 😮😊20/24
right???? like girl have you ever met an australian?????? I'm friends with aussies and they are awful to me lol maybe it was because they were sleeping with her and spending money on her
I believe everyone commenting on the grandad situation got it wrong. I’m 99% sure his visa got cancelled because of the major violation he committed the last time he was there - overstayed by 2.5 years. That’s a crazy long time. And he never paid the price for that. Until this moment. Also it’s really strange that border control didn’t realize how long he’s been there illegally when he was leaving the country after 3 years. Even without computers you could tell by checking the visa and the entry stamp.
That Chinese mother and son concealing $40k should have had a huge fine. I think at least 25% in circumstances like that. Blatant concealment, WAY over $10k limit. I wouldn't do a huge fine like that for someone who is a little over $10k but blatant concealments like the $40k need to be fined heavily
the drug scan swabs make me chuckle... the federal reserve itself has admitted long ago that at least 67% of all bills in circulation will test positive for almost all street drugs.
I am an asian(not any of nationalities as the people here) but these people eating weird disgusting rotten meat, meat with insects crawling and birds saliva is beyong my understanding. There are SO MANY different kinds of food to eat, even meat but you decide to eat a bird’s saliva? How do they even find out they are edible? Try saliva of all the birds and eat the one that’s tastiest?
Legends. 🎉 2.5 hours. You guys are the goat. Also, people were nice to the first lady because she's American, and we feel sad for Americans and their sad way of life.
If the English 'ex bank robber' served 3.5 years of a four year sentence.... he did NOT behave himself whilst incarcerated ! If the sentence is under 5 years, you automatically get 50% reduction on entry.
Agreed. His conviction was spent. All I saw here was a signal vindictiveness on the part of the Australian Border Force. Meanwhile, Australia is actively being invaded by shamelessly dishonest smugglers of contraband of the most disgusting damaging kind, allowed entry and let off with a paltry fine. Why? DEI?
I feel bad for the guy but he seems to keep on forgetting that the problem is not the robbery but the fact that he recently overstayed.. It's also a bit ironic that after admitting that he overstayed he also said he never did anything else wrong in his life after the robbery 😅 not sure I believe him at this point
I wonder if those two grandsons did this to their grandmother. For the grandfather, yeah, it sucks. It wasn't the conviction 40+ years ago, it's your non-compliance since. They can come and see you. This show is a great message and warning to people that a criminal record CAN follow you for life.
concealing it in a jacket and trying to keep them from examining that jacket shows intent and knowledge that they were aware the items are prohibited and should be prosecuted yet they only give them a slap on the wrist no wonder they continue to do it no incentive to not do it
I feel bad for the grandfather but he should realize that it’s not just his conviction that ruined it for him but also the lying on his last trip and the tremendous over stay of 3 years at that time.
Hey you’ve got a jacket here that’s got birds nests with bird saliva in several pockets! This is a very bad thing. We’re going to confiscate the Birdsnest… But, here you go. You take your jacket back with the dried saliva in every pocket in this jacket! That’s ok!
The fine is so small it’s not likely to show any punishment for those travellers ruining the poultry industry the fine is bigger for accidentally driving through a red light camera due to a genuine mistake
To hold something that a man did 40 years ago against him he paid his dues. He’s been a model citizen since is outrageous. Yes he came a previous time. He lied on his documents. He’s overstayed his visa, but he admitted that he didn’t lie about it he admitted it. He told them the truth and I think he decided this time to just come clean with everything and hopefully they’ll understand. The man wants to see his grandbaby and they’re denying him that I’m heartbroken for him. That’s all I have to say I might not be right in my thinking, but I guess I’m thinking with my heart in you can look at him and tell he’s just devastated.
i know once upon a time there was no internet but serioously wouldnt you reseach where your going to so when they ask you what you going to see you can give a convincing answer lol
I know the man robbed a bank but I hate they refused him entry. I really feel like he paid his debt by serving jail time and it hurts my heart to see him get emotional. He just wants to see his new grandbaby 😢.
One thing I don't get. If all these food products are so dangerous why are all the agents so insistent on ripping open the packages when you can clearly see what's inside?
Why did Australia grant the English man a visa and waste everyone's time and money in the first place? No new information was revealed in the interview. They could have easily denied his visa application and been done with it. Granting a visa and then arbitrarily revoking it upon arrival is cruel.
@@tararasque932 He would have applied for an eVisitor electronic travel authorisation more specifically (this is functionally another form of visa, but is semantically different for political reasons).
I was very surprised to find that Australian customs inspections do not impose bigger charges or take strict action against people bringing in illegal items. People who deliberately lie and try to hide illegal items into the country are getting away with it all too easily.

Maybe travelers must use only one type of suitcase to enter a country . There are geniuses out there who can come up with an idea suitcase

1:42:57. Now this man I actually have sympathy for. To a certain degree. As he says. Even though I understand that it is a serious case, Why should he be still held accountable for something that happened 40 years ago. That is seriously ridiculous. I mean, does this mean the man is now prevented from ever traveling abroad? He should however have declared it on arrival. In fact, he should have even known the facts regarding his former conviction before he left England. Now, on the other hand there is also the matter of him actually overstaying the conditions of his visa on a previous occasion by over two years and no... I do not believe his telling of the story that he just wanted to make sure his daughter has settled in and made friend and such. Sorry buddy, but that does not warrant a three year stay when your visa was clearly issued for only six moths. Why is it that I have never ever even traveled abroad, yet I am aware of all these regulations, yet people who often travel, seems oblivious to it? It makes no sense.
Yes. Once you have a criminal record you’re ineligible to be permitted for entry into almost all countries of the world legally.
Doesn’t matter how long ago it was, he should’ve thought about it before becoming a criminal. People from other countries aren’t even eligible to apply let alone come to the border to plead their case.
Oh they know. They just play dumb like they don't so hopefully they will get a pass and be able to get away with it.
Meanwhile, Australia was literally a British prison colony!
He could have the go ahead but he lied last time. They are serious. So it cost him.
@@Mandaxmaee Get away with what? Something that happened 40 years ago, and for which the price was paid ? On what inhuman planet do you reside.

I told and told and told my Filipina wife not to pack any, ANY, food. None, nada, nowt, nothing.
I told her that she could get anything that she could possibly want at any of the gazillions of Philippine goods shops in Australia.
Yet upon arrival the first thing that was pulled out of her cases was a packet of raw Tilapia fish!!!!
$120 later I struggled valiantly to keep my mouth shut.
I went to Australia b4. On my holiday with my friend. And they Asked me. What am gonna do here in Australia?
I just said vacation..
He said where are you staying? Hotels of course. Can you show me booking? Of course... Final quistion... Have you /or did you bring fruits on you?? I said no because you have a lot of fruits in Austria so if i want to eat just buy some.....
My English is not that brilliant
At least he understands me.
😂😂😂From Philippines.
Yeah, I'm not understanding why she didn't just say she was vacationing?
You speak and write better English than A LOT of people whose English is actually their first language. 😂
My friend, your English is AMAZING! 🙏🏻😱😚
I don’t understand how some people think they can really get away with things like this . They should know and respect the law to the county that they are going to…
I'll preface my comment with: I realize he made a poor decision the last visit. But he was trying to do the right thing this time. He could've easily lied again, but he decided to be truthful, and it worked against him.
My heart breaks for the grandfather 😢 He just wanted to see his children and hold his grandbaby for the 1st time. He paid his debt to society over 40 years ago. That kid was just power-hungry! He could've let that man in.
Asm per his 40 year old conviction, certainly yes. But staying 3 years on a 6 month visa is quite another bowl of soup. In that end, the young "power hungry" kid actually has no choice. If he is to wave the breach of a visa rule, the guy has to prove that it would cause great trauma or other serious consequences that he couldn't produce as he could see his grandchild outside Australia and thus was not subject to serious consequences when denied entry.
Don't judge the guy doing his job properly as he is supposed to do. Judge the people who made the laws he has to uphold. And when you do, also give a thought to the reasons behind that law.
@@Jens-Viper-Nobel🙄
I strongly disagree. If it had been my choice I would have forgiven the bank robbery if he had gone to the consulate while he was still in the UK. However, he lied on his last visa and overstayed it by 2 1/2 yeasts.
The UK is a long freaking way to come to have to turn around and get back on a plane home.
He'd rob Aussie banks
Cancelling that old British guy’s visa was cold as ice
I understand they want to protect their country but it was really not logical. So mean. Thankfully I never wanted to visit that country (beautiful country.)
@@frtm06it was 40 years ago. Like, when had he paid his penalty?
@@THEprettygirlnyfl unfortunately doesn’t meet Australia’s strict character rules for entry because of the conviction.
Really it's his own fault. If he had just gone to the Australian Embassy in the UK and applied for a visitor visa there they would most likely have taken on board that the conviction was a long time ago and if he hasn't done anything since they they would probably grant it and he would have sailed through on arrival. However he lied about it once before and then did it again leaving them no choice. Obviously he's embarrassed about it but the people in the embassy have probably seen it all before and deal with this stuff every day.
I agree. I believe he can apply for an exemption and because the crimes were 40 years ago he has a great chance of getting it. However he also overstayed a previous visa by 2 1/2 years....
1:42:50 penalised 40 odd years after a major breach of law. Perhaps they are right in stopping entry, but the authorities could have tempered justice with mercy to allow his family to meet with him under customs controlled conditions at the airport, before exiling him.
While agree about what you say about being punished for a crime committed 40 years ago, he also lied and overstayed his welcome by a long time.
I do feel sorry for him. He just wanted to see his granddaughter and his daughter.
He lied before AND overstayed. Its too bad he made these bad choices. He learned the hard way.
Lying about a criminal record is a reason to refuse entry on it's own, but it doesn't mean he would have been refused as it's so long ago. It's that he stayed for 3 years on a 6 month Visa that did him in.
Gal should have at least done a lil landmark “homework “ …. Jeesh! 😅💙
Right? Just memorize a few landmarks, and when they asked about that letter, she should have just said, "Nah, not paid, just a hook-up, that's my kink."
I’ve traveled over seas to the Dominican Republic, and while I don’t know what the places I went are called because they’re in Spanish, I can easily describe them. She couldn’t even say whether the bridge she walked was over a road or water 😅
It seems like these people bringing the wrong type of food etc. into Australia can afford the small fines of 340.$. Are they ever prosecuted ?
Apparently not, but a nice man is deported for a cime he committed and paid the price for FORTY years ago!
If you bring in 5 different items breaching the declaration should be fined for each items so 10 apples should attract 10 fines
Always tell the truth. Never do stuff where you get arrested. The past may come back to haunt you....

Try not: he overstayed before and lied last time. He knew better. Liars I just don't understand.
It´s upset me so much. Tragic.
True. At this point, i believe the reason why he told the truth about everything is that he genuinely dont want to jeopardize his entry and genuinely just want to spent his days his his family and probably not over stay again to be able to come back if needed be without scrutiny.
Between 1788 and 1868 more than 162,000 convicts were transported to Australia. Of these, about 7,000 arrived in 1833 alone. The convicts were transported as punishment for crimes committed in Britain and Ireland. The old man just was one to many… The young guy that made this decision clearely has no kids himself nor emphatic emotions.
@@videorocketzmillar007milla5 Not to mention he was a bank robber.

The guy couldn’t see his children and grand children… but the people who knowingly bring in prohibited items are allowed to come into the country. What?!?
Exactly. The man has paid his due for his crime, he should not be punished further more.
The fines need to be much higher for those not declaring large amounts of food or cash over $10k
Hold on: Never mind the bank robbery: (1) he overstayed his visa last time by 6 YEARS, and (2) he lied on his visa about committing a crime because he was afraid he wouldn't be allowed in. This guy seems to feel that the law does not apply to him if it doesn't fit his agenda. Glad he was denied.
IKR! He did his time and shouldn’t keep being punished 40 years later, especially since he hadn’t got in anymore trouble. No wonder he lied the previous time. It really hurt my heart to see him so emotional.
"Carefully considered" "sound decisions made under Australian law". Riiight.

@@jaerockchalk3216 How is it BS? It's called consequence. They still would have let him in last time had he told them about his criminal record, but
this time he got caught out for that lie and for also overstaying that Visa by 2.5 years.
Sad is it may be, they are doing their job and he only has himself to blame.
Nope. The 40 year old bank robbery could have been ok, but he lied on his last visa application and overstayed by 2 1/2 years
I dont understand, he already served in the jail..and if in doubt they could put him in surveillance
What happened to that old sweet man who just wanted to visit his daughters and grandchild is the true definition of applying the law “blindly”. There is what is called the “spirit” of the law which should have been applied here. What a shame.
That’s why it’s important for officers and judges to have the power of discretion.
I think he was refused for his recent crime of lying on his previous visa application and overstaying that visa by 2.5 years. He is not a poor old man. They might have let him in if he hadn’t lied on his last visit.

No. They don’t. Its bad luck to be chosen to get investigated in a way your bag has to be ripped off. I have been the unfortunate one, my bag didn’t get ripped off but they were concerned about the pickles I had as the xray showed seed (live plants and viable seeds are not allowed in the US) and when they found out it was pickled they let me go.

You can apply for reimbursement & they eventually pay you but I don't think they do it on the spot. You have to submit paperwork, etc. & wait for it to be reviewed. At least that's the way it is in the UK.

I have been watching this programme for years. I often see the same faces, but in different bad situations, so I wonder are they actors being filmed ?
Its all staged
I believe everyone commenting on the grandad situation got it wrong. I’m 99% sure his visa got cancelled because of the major violation he committed the last time he was there - overstayed by 2.5 years. That’s a crazy long time. And he never paid the price for that. Until this moment. Also it’s really strange that border control didn’t realize how long he’s been there illegally when he was leaving the country after 3 years. Even without computers you could tell by checking the visa and the entry stamp.
100% agree with you!
Peter and Paul. Ok....😅
Edit: add The Archangel Michael.... 😂😂
That Chinese mother and son concealing $40k should have had a huge fine. I think at least 25% in circumstances like that. Blatant concealment, WAY over $10k limit.
I wouldn't do a huge fine like that for someone who is a little over $10k but blatant concealments like the $40k need to be fined heavily
funny how people try to go to UK and AUS to work and people from UK and AUS try to leave there to work somewhere else...

If the English 'ex bank robber' served 3.5 years of a four year sentence.... he did NOT behave himself whilst incarcerated ! If the sentence is under 5 years, you automatically get 50% reduction on entry.
Maybe today, but were the rules the same 45 years ago?
that poor guy wanted to see his grand children and they banned him from crossing all because he did a crime 40 years ago wow sham on them
Agreed. His conviction was spent. All I saw here was a signal vindictiveness on the part of the Australian Border Force. Meanwhile, Australia is actively being invaded by shamelessly dishonest smugglers of contraband of the most disgusting damaging kind, allowed entry and let off with a paltry fine. Why? DEI?
I feel bad for the guy but he seems to keep on forgetting that the problem is not the robbery but the fact that he recently overstayed.. It's also a bit ironic that after admitting that he overstayed he also said he never did anything else wrong in his life after the robbery 😅 not sure I believe him at this point
I think he’s used to doing his thing and breaking the law.
I wonder if those two grandsons did this to their grandmother. For the grandfather, yeah, it sucks. It wasn't the conviction 40+ years ago, it's your non-compliance since. They can come and see you. This show is a great message and warning to people that a criminal record CAN follow you for life.
concealing it in a jacket and trying to keep them from examining that jacket shows intent and knowledge that they were aware the items are prohibited and should be prosecuted yet they only give them a slap on the wrist no wonder they continue to do it no incentive to not do it
That look when he said " held up a bank"! 😆
I feel bad for the grandfather but he should realize that it’s not just his conviction that ruined it for him but also the lying on his last trip and the tremendous over stay of 3 years at that time.
11:40 is a face that says, "go ahead, try me"😂
Step up that investigation!!
41:03 if it's voluntary, what's the issue? He should be able to withdraw consent at any time.
Hey you’ve got a jacket here that’s got birds nests with bird saliva in several pockets! This is a very bad thing. We’re going to confiscate the Birdsnest… But, here you go. You take your jacket back with the dried saliva in every pocket in this jacket! That’s ok!

the birdsnest was not concealed in the jacket pockets it as large amount of cash
“You owe us $340. Will you be paying in CASH or card?” 😅
The fine is so small it’s not likely to show any punishment for those travellers ruining the poultry industry the fine is bigger for accidentally driving through a red light camera due to a genuine mistake
To hold something that a man did 40 years ago against him he paid his dues. He’s been a model citizen since is outrageous. Yes he came a previous time. He lied on his documents. He’s overstayed his visa, but he admitted that he didn’t lie about it he admitted it. He told them the truth and I think he decided this time to just come clean with everything and hopefully they’ll understand. The man wants to see his grandbaby and they’re denying him that I’m heartbroken for him. That’s all I have to say I might not be right in my thinking, but I guess I’m thinking with my heart in you can look at him and tell he’s just devastated.
He isn’t a model citizen. He overstayed his previous visa by three years. Any country in the world would bounce you for doing this.
i know once upon a time there was no internet but serioously wouldnt you reseach where your going to so when they ask you what you going to see you can give a convincing answer lol
If only America would be that Strick, I would be happy!😮
I know the man robbed a bank but I hate they refused him entry. I really feel like he paid his debt by serving jail time and it hurts my heart to see him get emotional. He just wants to see his new grandbaby 😢.
He over stayed his last 6 month visa by 3 years. That's why he was denied.
He should not have led on his previous visa application and he should have gone home after 6 months.
One thing I don't get. If all these food products are so dangerous why are all the agents so insistent on ripping open the packages when you can clearly see what's inside?
Why did Australia grant the English man a visa and waste everyone's time and money in the first place? No new information was revealed in the interview. They could have easily denied his visa application and been done with it. Granting a visa and then arbitrarily revoking it upon arrival is cruel.
@@tararasque932 He would have applied for an eVisitor electronic travel authorisation more specifically (this is functionally another form of visa, but is semantically different for political reasons).
I was very surprised to find that Australian customs inspections do not impose bigger charges or take strict action against people bringing in illegal items. People who deliberately lie and try to hide illegal items into the country are getting away with it all too easily.
