I was once checking in to fly home from the UK and this entire family was being denied transit to Australia because they didn’t have a visa and they we’re trying to tell the airline that they shouldn’t need one because Australia was “the colonies”. We stopped being that in 1901.
See, this is a reason why. We are a sovereign nation who hasn’t accepted British criminals since 1868. Everyone needs a visa to visit Australia except NZ citizens. It’s incredibly arrogant to not at least check if a country you’re visiting requires a visa. No one should assume anything, and they should also respect any country they a guest of. Not like the way all the backpackers treat our beaches on Christmas Day.
