It’s a bit complicated to fine them up to 10k as it increases the chances of not being able to pay which would mean detention, resulting in more resources. Most effective is to fine a small amount and blacklist. Often black listing makes it difficult for the person to obtain another visa.
I enjoy watching Border Security and I give credits to the front line workers who have so much patiences to deal with the non-compliances passengers (visitors, naturalized citizens/citizens) on a daily basis. Keep up the good work, never compromise your values, and no one is above the law.
The amount of times overseas passengers come to Australia on a tourist visa have no return ticket, no plans on what to do or see and doesn’t have enough funds to enjoy their holiday when in fact they want to work baffles me! I think in their mind Australia is not smart to figure us out no problem we’ll guess what mate we are smarter than we look
I still can't wrap my head around people who bring food or organic stuff to another country. Like, come on, I'm sure theres Asian grocery store somewhere
@manipei I mean, I am Asian too but I can't understand the reason behind the mindset. And cooked food? There is no way that isn't gonna get rotten in a few hours, no? 😅
Who wants to eat food that has been sitting in transit for hours on end....they know it's wrong they just don't respect the rules....those fines need to be way higher....

@@lordraydens is that the one that was cussing? I already don’t remember 😂 of course it’s not ok to do that. But I understand why she was upset. They seemed very puzzled by the very fact that she was upset, even though she told them she hadn’t slept.
I wonder when tourist visas are issued online, whether there is also information given about not bringing in foods? If not, should be ... this stuff takes up time and $sss.
That woman from Chile is not aggressive at all or refuse to answer questions, it is just she can only speaks very few english words, when english is your second or third language, it is hard to translate from your language to english, add to that the officer is quite insensitive to ask why is she crying. I will be agitated and cry too if i did nothing wrong, didnt carry any illegal items, have a valid and real visa and passport, but still got treated like i am a criminal, wasting hours of my only day in the city
When I go to Australia I'm gonna go to the farmers market and get a chicken, fresh veggies and a bunch of other fresh stuff and have 4 suitcases packed with items with only 1 pair of underwear in each case. I don't want to starve to death because apparently there is no food in Australia, and besides it will only cost me 350 if I don't declare it.
I am surprised. Being a malaysian myself although not a chinese malaysian. I am shocked the number of malaysian chinese who are unable to speak even a little english and who are trying to enter other countries in a very dishonest and illegal ways. Very sad this is happening.
Who puts a bowl of pork and disease-ridden fruit in their suitcase? Australia does have grocery stores and restaurants. Australians also eat food. I bet they, like us here, even have lychees in their grocery stores that AREN’T mouldy. 🤢 🙄
To be fair, these videos took away any of my willingness of visiting Australia as a tourist, paying tons of money to be treated like an animal.. better to stay in Denmark.
I know it looks hard, but this programme is for problem travellers. If you come as a visitor, have a return ticket, and idea of where you want to visit, and enough money to pay for your visit, you'll be ok - and welcome. Oh - and don't bring in any food, or declare it if you do.
what do these passengers gain from intentionally bringing rotten food or weird organisms into other countries though? like why would anyone want to do that?
People are exhausted from long airplane trips. I can't sleep on a plane even with meds. Having to stand up for 2 hours and be interrogated while exhausted? I'd be cranky too.
He is Malaysian of Han Chinese Descent. 22.8% Of Malaysia's population. He is speaking Mandarin though but he would be able to speak Malaysian and English.
How about a program outlining the penalties for the people who employ people not authorized to work in Australia. Surely there are severe penalties for hiring them, yes?
Many of them can speak and understand English; but they pretend not to. They also bring food and agricultural products that can be a danger to Australia or to countries they visit.
In a circumstance like this, the Aussie government would have to pay. If the airline he travelled on had boarded him without a valid passport or visa then it would be their responsibility. But he did have a visa, so they're not responsible. This kind of arrangement could vary depending on the country. Like some countries may have treaties between them where the country of origin pays for the fare.
Depends on country to country. Most Asian countries will have their government incur the cost and will demand the person to pay back or else jail time. I believe Australia does pay for the deportation of UK, and USA citizens.
It is hard to understand why people pay a bunch of money for a plane ticket to try to go to another country (and risk having to buy another plane ticket to go home) to work when they should just work where they live.
@@jeanaprewitt9658 If they can't find work in the country they live in, instead of trying to get into another country and lie about why they are there, they should seek go through the proper channels and seek asylum in that country.
I don't think her crying should be an indication of anything because I definitely wouldn't be doing anything wrong and I also definitely would be crying
Notice of intention to consider canceling your visa is fake hope and in 100% of cases the person ends up getting sent back. I have no clue why they do that when they clearly seem to have already made the decision to cancel someone's visa. I also cringe everytime I hear "a notice of intent to CONSIDER..." Seriously, just say we are considering canceling your visa instead. What exactly is a notice of intent to consider?!! You clearly have the intention to cancel the visa after you've found evidence that the person isn't telling the truth or trying to bypass the visa laws and regulations. I've seen people beg, cry, even try the 100% honesty rout and literally nothing ever works in making them CONSIDER THEIR INTENTION TO CONSIDER CANCELING THE VISA! A ridiculous and useless statement that seems to have been written by a lawyer.
My apologies, I am not trying to insult the country and any nationalities, however; - Malaysian man is easily has something to hide, I can see from his english competency, mostly Chinese - Malaysian has good English, especially if they are travelers/backpackers, at least have idea where and what they doing in the country, so he definitely hiding something about his agenda visiting Australia, we can see from his text messages, his english actually better than the way he speaks to the officer😅 - Chilian lady who speaks spanish in front of the officer is really rude, sadly I used to have coworker, and she got fired because the same thing, talking bad in her language towards the officer, the officer is way too nice to her, she should immediately refuse to enter the country with her attitudes. - Travelers from East, South and South East Asia normally high alert to bring the organic foods, just because they getting use to bring anything that they normally use/eat without find out or care whether that allows or not. -
ABF should have been equipped with sufficient interpreters on the ground, instead of forcing passenger who don’t speak English to stress and struggle! That is inhuman!
They protect the agricultural industry not because it provides nessacsry food. But because it's worth billions in revenue. Question every policy your faced with.
It is always Malaysians attempting to do these kind of things. Modus Operandi is Enter Australia on a tourist visa, gets stopped by Immigration, Border Force finds out that they are planning to work illegally on a tourist visa, visa gets cancelled and they are sent back to Malaysia. It goes to show that Malaysia have a lot of problems.
I think this is all for views. Australian border security wastes so much time and resources. If u know you’re sending him back home. Why do the interview??? In the States they’re smart n fast. No back n forth games or useless questions. If you’re legit you’re in if you’re not you’re out. Simple as that.
Why do these cops want to know every detail?? What sights do you want to see. Where do you want to go eat? Like is that your business?? Might as well ask him where is he going to poop?
(1) Australian border security wants to make sure the person is coming to the country for the right reasons. They want make sure the visitor has the money to visit and go home without any problems. (2) Australia is also a huge country that is easy to get lost in so border security wants to make sure the person knows where they’re going. (3) If questions showing one’s interest in the country they’re visiting is too much, they shouldn’t visit Australia.
If you’re going to another country people will have plans made on what they want to do and it’s suspicious if you have no plan, it’s not that cheap to travel internationally
They are doing a thing called, "Their job." They are sworn officers that do the job of protecting their country from idiots, people that want to cause their country harm, people that may become dependent upon the country to care for them.... on and on. I'm guessing you are the type that wants to know why, you need to go through a security check to fly.... It isn't everyone they need to worry over. However if you cause yourself to stand out, they will look harder.
Funny thing is I have been to Australia 5 times to visit family and I have never been stopped while arriving but I was stopped while leaving towards Bali. Two customs officers stopped me, pulled me aside, went through all my luggage and asked what I was going to do in Bali, when they saw my diving gear they seemed to calm down quite a bit and realized that indeed I was going there for that, they were always very friendly and professional...I was actually very curious as to why nobody had looked at me twice while coming in but now was searched while leaving. They told me I fit the profile (single male traveler in the 20s or 30s) for people who smuggle ecstacy pills to SouthEast Asia 😅don´t know if that explanation was Bs or that is actually true.
I always love the dead-pan looks of when people are caught lying on the customs form...
They're thinking of all the lies they are going to tell. 🫤
The woman there for one day refusing to speak should just be refused. If you can’t cooperate you don’t deserve to be allowed in the country.
