Now I am even more aggrieved than ever. Posted something to share with anyone with unfortunate enough to experience such disservice from idiots of the first order and we have some fair dickum apologists calling me a liar.
Well, as someone said what goes around comes around. It will probably hold true to some miscreants down south.

You blokes have been cheating for years BTW. Between yourselves and the Pakistanis you made it an art form.

You might want to do a little more research sunshine on Thorpe’s case before mouthing off on a public forum. Someone might just throw a law suite in your lap. If you think you really are anonymous on this forum, think again? You're not.

Well YOUR post title says: Anal Retentive Ozz customs
and describe them as
Your wording in BLOCK LETTERS, and the manerism you have written is absurd.
And to say the following:
Well if you want a law suite in your lap your going very nicely for it........... Its never been proven.
Seems like you have a problem with Australia? Did your application for residence get knocked back? oh dear
Take two headache tablets and go sleep on it, as you seriously have a problem!

- In the ever loud voice ( louder than Bollywood movie dialogue! ),
- then dealing with such an ass

And to say the following:
Jan Torpedo reportedly tested positive for dope; Sharne Warne a junkie. False, just words?

Every time I sit down to dinner in Australia, the phone rings from India.
Is it just Australia? Or does everyone else around the First World get a call from India too?
And I don't know what your beef is. Many of our diligent custom officers are former impoverished Indian immigrants.

Akali, it took them for ever to squeak in a little " sorry " for the way they treated their native aboriginals.......these bigots will try everything they can to intimidate and browbeat you. So through echelon can find out too.
They said India and Pakistan had been cheating for years. Wow! They caught your countrymen redhanded, huh? The Pakistanis were demonised and put through hell in the death of their coach saga...no apologies from their ilk.

BORING....................you Guys are displaying the equivalent of Penile envy.
Australian envy.
Why don't you just get back to the nice suburbs of Jakarta and Mumbai and stop writing drivel in here.
If you want to live in Oz then get into line.

Think of dealing with Aussie customs as an initiation test for the rest of your stay in that godforsaken desert island of red-necks.
It's like Alabama has been floated off into the South Pacific.
Don't forget the penal colony history, Aussies are a nation of criminals and prison officers.

Pakistani and Indian immigrants are number three and four on our immigration numbers.
We provided billions- privately and through government- for tsunami relief in a neglected part of Indonesia.
We have thrown billions ( and will continue to ) at the plight of indigenous Australians. An issue that will take generations to improve despite the best efforts- what are Indians doing for the hundreds of millions of their impoverished countrymen? Maintaining a caste system.
An isolated country. But far from the institutionalised racism that runs from the sub-continent, west or east.
Join the queue. But not if you are into kiddy porn. First world nations go to extraordinary efforts to police these offenses.In the practical belief we are protecting exploited children of the third world.

Porn is illegal.
Try importing it into Saudi Arabia.
And if you need advice on what is and is not legal for importation into Oz, check the AQIS or Customs websites. It's a quick link away, full of information, and they'll even email you back an answer to your questions.
'I wanna do this cause I can in my country' doesn't seem to be holding water in Oz anymore.
But don't let that stop the abusive posts...
We need more of you to tell us how to run the country.
You're doing such a great job running your own...

Good Lord, we have porn, anal customs, cricket, swimmers all lumped into this! Akali was probably peeved because he was not treated like a Captain Raja when inspected in his full battle regalia. Well customs guys the world over are the most unfriendly, difficult and anal guys around...maybe that the nature of their job. If so they need a paradigm shift in their approach, improve their people skills!
Ian Thorpe was outed by some French papers as having tested positive but NEVER proven...so give this a rest. Going all out to sue Akali, I think not. He had enough of media attention. Shane Warne? We all know..well old news.

Akali Dal, don't take this the wrong way mate but P1ss off and don't come back (To Australia that is). I've passed through Oz customs plenty of times over the past few years and found them all to be professional and polite. They do know how to spot a w@nker though, hence your alleged problem.
I've had the unfortunate experience of having to work with some of your fellow countrymen previously. A bit of authority and you expect everyone to kneel and kiss your feet. Might work where you come from sport. Here, you're no better than the bloke waiting outside the terminal at the wheel of a cab.

Problem is that customs are used to the "indian not in the gutter syndrome". They have a reputation that since they are not a dalit they think they are superior when in fact they are ...indian.
P.S. What exactly ARE those nuclear weapons protecting?

Bigots from that ex penal colony...lay off Akali. He posted on the HK Fagrant forum, not in your domain the D&G forum. The world over know of those anals at the arse end of the world!
BTW, Akali your fellow khalsa Dhoni, Tendulkar and team just trash Ricky Pont's. Bravo!

Anyway...
At the risk of bringing this thread back to some sort relevance, I have to agree with many of the posters here with respect to the "suspect intelligence" of some of the folks in Oz customs uniforms.
On a recent trip from Oz to return to our fragrant harbour,my wife had the misfortune of meeting a true troglodyte. Due to an unexplained (& prolonged!) absence of Vegemite on HK shelves, she bought a jar at the last minute and placed it in carry on baggage. As you can guess, said troglodyte made a song and dance at the checkpoint about not bringing in "liquids" over 100ml - the jar was 300ml. (Those unfamiliar with our national food icon should understand that this stuff has a consistency not unlike peanut butter.)
She opened the jar and tipped it upside down to demonstrate it's non-liquid properties, trogolodyte still unmoved. Even after scooping out a fingerful and eating it, the Mensa member in blue was unable to step outside that very small box they were obviously trained to remain in.
Knowing better than to push the point with the heroes, my wife threw the jar in the bin and walked on. Once through customs, you guessed it - she went into a duty free store and bought three 100ml jars of Vegemite!!
I shudder to think what these guys are paid, but unfortunately, for some of them it is clearly too much!
