And given that this thread is titled
Australian Visa Gets Cancelled - What Happens?, it is highly unlikely that OZ/NZ consumer & financial protections are of any relevance whatsoever to the thread.
The statement in your previous post
The airlines (ex-Australia) have no legal basis to recover costs from the pax if they are denied entry at the destination when they boarded with the correct documents in hand, is a better example of what constitutes utter rubbish I would imagine than
Often1's post which you characterise as such. It seems that Contract Law would give
some legal basis to the airlines' attempts at cost recovery based on their Conditions of Carriage - as I said previously I shall leave the merits of the legal argument to the lawyers and admit differences of opinion rather than present my opinion/experiences as the only valid viewpoint and differing ones as
utter rubbish
