Does it feel unusually warm tonight? Feel like I'm boiling.

Meanwhile why are we still filling out paper customs declarations cards in Australia? Surely it's the kind of thing that could be made available online (where it could be translated in multiple languages).

I know there's data security to consider but they are probably already storing all sorts of data about departures and arrivals.

I think the purpose is to make you sign a declaration that you aren't a crim or a terrorist or have been deported etc etc That way if you do some dodgy shit or have done some dodgy shit they can get you for that
