Visitors to declare illegal porn to customs officers

Visitors have been ordered to reveal illegal pornography to customs officers in a move which has been criticised as totally confusing and an invasion of privacy.

Justice Minister Brendan O’Connor said that illegal material must be declared on arrival, watering down recent rules that asked for all pornography to be revealed.

But he said anyone who is not sure whether they have illegal pornography should reveal it just in case. The revamped rule is outlined on arrival cards which are filled in by travellers coming to Australia — via redwolf.newsvine.com
