Just a tip if you are travelling to Indonesia, including Bali. Leave your drugs at home. For more than a decade I have campaigned and raged on that Australian Customs border control is full of holes. Clearly if someone departing Australia has drugs in their luggage that is as much an illegal export as it would be an illegal import and Customs should pick that up and seize it before it leaves the country.
I said that in regards to Schapelle Corby (not just me but also senior serving Customs Law Enforcement Officers including the then President of the Customs Officers Associations Peter Bennett and Former 23 year Secretary of the Association Bob Spanswick ) But Customs is a tokenistic honesty box agency.
Sure they do a reasonable half hearted job at Mascot airport where it is easy to scan and sniff things but still they slip up for reasons I can go into if people are interested.
But the bottom line is if you want to exploit holes in the Australian system, don’t be so optomistic that Bali will have just as many holes in theirs.
Pete,
