Of course it's China AGAIN!

They are going to have to really ramp up the biosecurity searches at airports for all arriving passengers especially from Asia!

"Since we increased border checks we've been seizing 100 kilograms week in illegal pork products. Between 5 November 2018 and 31 August 2019, over 27 tonnes of pork were intercepted on air travellers entering Australia.

And then there's all the other dodgy foods and seeds etc that people try to sneak in

Tell China to behave then

Deport these idiots or have them locked up for being too stupid to be allowed out. What kind of imbecile thinks it would be OK to try to bring raw pork and eggs through customs in a suitcase?

HEY, PHUKTARD, You can buy pork and eggs in the supermarkets here.

I did! I did!

You tell them to bloody listen!

Actually, he killed off the early warning program monitoring these diseases on the ground in China. Don't shoot the messenger - it's fact!

^ Well you need to try again and use your very best gruffy and stern “not happy Jan” voice

It's been happening for the decades I've been flying. There has been zero improvement in cross-cultural awareness programs because to do so means someone in Australia would have to take responsibility for something, and give a toss, without making a quick buck off it.

To quote Obi-Wan Kenobi: "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"

Is there anyone remaining in our entire culture willing to take responsibility for anything?

Explain to me why anyone in Australia is responsible for some farquit trying to smuggle in food they can legally buy here?

Very, very basic intercultural knowledge.

Australia is the one responsible for properly communicating and/or enforcing its laws and requirements. How can it possibly be anyone else's fault? If you want to take the money, and you know tourists won't have the requisite background to grasp the importance of environmental law, or may not understand that laws are strictly applied in a literal sense, without negotiation, or may think that laws are rarely enforced and therefore must be unimportant, you've got to grasp the nettle and put together a proper outreach program. It's not rocket science.

This is just another case of taking the money without putting in the hard yards. You don't want to be subject to Chinese pressure? Then diversify your bloody industry and put mining in its place. You want income from Chinese tourists? Then put the work in to get the message across and enforce your laws properly.

It's always someone else's fault. Self-entitlement knows no bounds.
