Woman deported for smuggling 4.6kg of uncooked pork into Sydney AirportAustralia's biosecurity laws have tightened following the threat of African swine fever. I have watched that border protection show and no offender seems to have any respect for Australian Custom Control, and offenders only ever get a slap on the wrist. Any wonder people are doing what they like. Maybe we need to TOTALLY close our borders to visitors from countries where this disease is present, or has the potential to be. Until it’s eradicated in those places. Biosecurity must take precedence over tourism, money etc. The fines for these offences are so inconsequential, they should be at least $5000 for repeat offenders. People cannot feign ignorance when there are so many warnings on the plane and as you depart the air craft.
