My daughter also got an Aussie welcome.
all pax asked to leave aircraft with all there cabin baggage including duty free....at the screening point proir to going upstairs to the transit & boarding area the screening staff had a field day collecting every passengers duty free booze...
.....having boarded an international flight and been through all the checks proir to boarding we have to encounter these uniformed contractors just to go upstairs and connect to another international flight
She was on a SIN CNS flight that called in as scheduled at Darwin en route so no change of A/C.
Especially miffed as the booze was not sold in Aus and was a present.
