Basically, we're paying more for less. And to make things worse, internet censorship trials are now in effect down under (Oh come on, this isn't China for gods sake.). A lot of people are making noise over this. No Internet Censorship for Australia: Secret report confirms what we all know: Trial a waste of time. GetUp!

 I'm not sure if it's even legal for them to search without probable cause!

When I arrived at Perth airport, all that I needed to do was to put it in the x ray machine (We went through the Red lane as we have food.). Although sometimes, the customs can over do things, which annoys people. In one episode of Border Security - Australia's Frontline, the customs was making a big fuss over a wedding ring worn by a middle aged Vietnamese lady. Quote:
Border Security: Australia's Front Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Turns out, she's innocent & can afford the ring. My mother found this ridiculous and would hate to see this happening to herself and other people. btw, in another episode  -> YouTube - Malaysian Chinese caught at Sydney airport trying to bring in illegal workers to Australia.I remembered years ago, an Asian couple (Brother & sister) was asked at the ridiculously long customs line. "Anything to declare?". Couple:Oh, just some dirty shoes. Customs Officer: Nah, you're fine mate. You're being too honest! Oh yea, you can't bring in Chi Kit Teck Aun pills anymore, because one of the ingredients is an endangered cactus!

It's generally random, although i was stopped for a bomb check  . LOL. Those ion scanners even detect gun powder, but i had my Weapons act license on me, so they allowed me to go. And customs didn't mind me bringing in sambal in a bottle, as long as it was sealed and cooked. On another note, Internet is seriously expensive here. I pay 200 dollars a month, inclusive of line rental for ADSL capped at 60gb a month with 15c per MB excess fee. Ouch. But i share it with my house mate, so we generally pay about 100 a month. Still, that's expensive and we usually have to keep tabs on our usage. But atleast i get 20mbps.
