Visitors to Australia now have another question to answer in addition to declaring whether they are carrying any firearms, weapons or illicit drugs. Are they bringing in any pornography? Visitors to Australia now have another question to answer in addition to declaring whether they are carrying any firearms, weapons or illicit drugs. Are they bringing in any pornography?

Customs said on Friday the added question was designed to pick up prohibited items such as child pornography at the border.

The Australian Sex Party described it as a “monstrous invasion of people’s privacy” which would leave the laptops and cellphones of anyone entering the country open to scrutiny.

The change means travelers must declare X-rated erotic material that is legal in Australia and potentially have these items examined by Customs officers.
