The Australian border services should regulate and give proper guidelines and instructions for transparency and checks and balances should be applied to make sure there is minimal abuse in the system. freedom is very precious. I am annoyed because it is so easy to put in checks and balances and proper structure to this procedure yet they just botched the implementation and it's a mess that is neither helpful or logical. This policy is confusing for citizens and visitors. We already seen violations of the terms of use of the law by the customs/border(see previous post smh article) And it's only gonna get worse unless the stricter regulations are put in place.
I asked why I was stopped the officer replied if you have nothing to hide don't worry about it (it's the price you pay for freedom). I am thinking couldn't we get a better deal then this at a better price?
