Surely if Border Farce walk off the job things should go faster; since they won't be there to inquire if you have any soil on you....

Re: Australian Airports - Industrial action by Immigration staff
This suggests Wednesday at Sydney will be OK.
Anyone know if this extends to Thursday (Adelaide specifically)?

Phew. Industrial action in Adelaide today, tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday but not Thursday. I guess they didn't want to face my dad's ire when he arrives on Thursday!

What a complete crock..... Arsewipes. The only people affected are the public going trying to go about their lives and themselves when they come back out after their extended tea break and they'll have this massive unhappy mess to sort out.
