driving fines in australia
Hi there all,
i was in australia from jan 2011 to march 2012 and in curred some driving penalties along the way. i had to leave australia due to unforseen circumstances and come home during my second year visa but would like to return to oz in july.
my question is, if i was to return to australia now would immigration pull me up on the unpaid penalty charges and stop me entering the country?
thanks in advance!!

It depends on what happened to the fines. Unpaid fines can turn into warrants to imprison if not attended to.

Re: driving fines in australia
They certainly ask if you owe any money to Australia when you apply for other visas, so it is possible. I would phone up and pay them now.
