My brother just flew into the Brisbane airport from HK with Australian passport, but was interrogated about why he left Australia (it had nothing to do with HK he was just with my family in the US), and the immigration officer demanded to check his phone + photos 1/

Reminder he’s going home to AUSTRALIA as a citizen, not Beijing or Shenzhen. When did the Australian government take up the policing role for Beijing?

+ didn’t know having a layover in HK has also become dangerous for any HK-looking people.

What would the do if he had been supporting protests? He's an Australian citizen returning home. They going to add him to a watch list of people who like democracy?
-
maybe they would have bought him a free flight back to HK and given him a democracy medal? maybe we have all misunderstood.

Yes of course it was a thing before the protest. But if it’s targeting a specific group of people of the same race, similar age, it’s profiling.

I have loads of questions, like if he left and enters with different passport. That would trigger interrogation.
-
nope. it's the timing he left + racial profiling that triggered the interrogation.

That can’t be constitutional in Australia, can it?

Seems like it is.

If the US tried to do this to me I’d act a fool on them. Very sad if this can happen in Australia.

Sorry to disturb, here is an act (like the
#HKHumanRightsDemocracyAct in US) is going to establish in Australia, can you kindly ask your brother and his friends to help? Stopping the control of CCP in HK can also prevent CCP conquering the world https://twitter.com/hkbhkese/status/1176675877846831106?s=19 …pic.twitter.com/fZDVMKqGUH

I wipe all my devices on landing before customs. They can spin on it. Canada customs tried same. Told them to eff off and got released.

This is the right answer! Well done.

It is unfortunately a good practice for everyone nowadays but it shouldn’t be the right answer. Citizens shouldn’t have to worry about having their privacy intruded upon returning home - what a warm welcome to be going home like a criminal eh?
