    So basically 2 Irish Backpackers on the way home.

    Some one used the Dob in line on that one I would say.

    If the police went to a home address yeh, its the Hotline being used.

    Does anyone remember the one they supposedly used years ago (might be a urban myth or fact i dont know), how the department of immigration hired promotional girls to go onto sites and sell tickets for a raffle or something, some poor unsuspecting mug would put down his full contact details then be picked up with a non-stop journey to Villawood as first prize, does anybody know if this one actually happened.

    Zero sympathy.

    Once you go illegal there is no going back...so these girls knew it was only a matter of time before they were shipped home.

    Interesting theory though...if they dobbed themselves in, and were being forcefully removed from the country, would they have to foot the bill for their tickets home?

    Awful thought but for Irish who have no way of returning anyway, it would be a handy way to avoid the $1k plus airfare home! :P

    Removal or deportation and maintenance costs

    Where the Commonwealth makes arrangements for a person removed or deported to be conveyed to a place outside Australia, that person is required to pay to the Commonwealth an amount equal to the passage money, plus other charges payable in respect of the conveyance (s.210 Migration Act).

    Where a person who is being removed, or in respect of whom a deportation order has been made, is kept in custody in a state or territory pending deportation, that person is liable to pay to the Commonwealth an amount equal to the cost of maintenance during that period (s.209). Departmental officers are also able to seize valuables of people being removed or deported and apply them towards the costs of removal or deportation (s.224).

    also there was a thread on here a while back where amybabes says the Irish Government picks up the tab.
