They also ask on the incoming pax card if you have been on a farm recently, if you tick "yes"then they may disinfect your footwear.
I went to Ireland during that period and we had to walk over a soggy mat.

Does it mean we really can't bring any stuff toys? Anybody experience this?

I must say that as journalism goes this is an outstanding piece or crap.

Of course Aussie customs did this because they're a bunch of mean spirited bastards who can't stand the though of 2 kids in distant countries forming a special bond.

Going through Melbourne airport last year the guy in front of me got charged $150 because he had mud on his shoes! not sure if something was going on that day though as everyone coming off the plane had to walk single file past the police drug sniffer dog & they also had a sniffer dog for fruit etc climbing all over the baggage in the reclaim area - wife got clobbered for having the little fruit bag off the plane in her pocket & I got atelling off for not declaring the maltesers in the kids hand luggage!
It took nearly 3 hours to get out of the airport that day.
