This is an old episode but little has changed our laws are still treated with contempt. The easiest way to get the message thru to some visitors including this Chinese student is to revoke their visa for a quarantine breach and ban entry for a few years. She should have been on the first plane back to China and someone here would have to pack her belongings up for her and send to China. Yes even if a student and then they have wasted their time so far. Word would soon get around that we are serious.

[@lmaree200886]

She could take that attitude back to the government of her own country. See how it flies.

[@smcdonald9991]

About the English teacher thought.. I have been in a similar situation. I was moving from a poor developing country where I had lived for many years to Japan. There was no way to wire my bank balance to Japan in advance - all the banks I contacted told me that I had to open an account *in person* after I arrived (and show proof of residency) and then I could wire money in. Nor was it possible to contact my current bank later after I had moved to Japan and ask them to wire the money. And to be honest given the level of corruption I doubt they would have sent it anyways. A bank draft was a possibility but I had no guarantee the Japanese bank would accept it.

[@jeffro221]

So did you also deliberately fail to declare it as he did? They said all he would have had to do was declare it and fill out another form and he would have had no problem. But he tried to deceive them. Played like he made a "mistake" and didn't understand the form. Baloney.

### The chinese student should have been penalised for every single separate food that she brought in without declaration, especially due to her attitude to ignore the Australian law that is applied to every entry. Her attitude indicates that she is most likely to ignore it for her next entries, and use a different tactic such as smiling and creating a story that her situation made her not to concentrate on correctly filling in the card to avoid fines, after attempting to see whether she could get away with other undeclared food since she could pass with many undeclared food before. Why penalise her with a less fine when she could travel so often to and from china???!!! By her attitude, she is very likely to ignore other Australian laws on the street too. We have to remind her, every time, with correct and due consequences that she has to abide by the Australian law. ### The man who used to teach English in Japan must have known that he was not allowed to bring more than $10,000 without declaration especially because he was not surprised at how much it was in the Australian dollars. He was trying to see first to get away. He also should have been fined at least $2,000 for delivering undeclared cash, especially as many viewers could have a wrong idea about bringing in or delivering undeclared cash to Australia. (Japan is not against transferring a large amount to an overseas account at all from my own experience. The man simply did not want to pay fees.)
