Lots of really weak opsec. It's mostly people getting busted for bringing in illegal food at the airport but they also show some busts from Australia Post and the occasional person smuggling in heroin in swallowed condoms.
Y'all should check out Border Security: Australia's Front Line on Netflix

Yeah, I was actually going to post this as well.
Those customs agents really lock there border down tight. It's pretty amazing at how well-oiled their system works (or at least, it's really amazing how the show is edited to show this).
What's funny to me is when someone gets busted for importing like 5 million in heroin and gets 5 years. In the US it would be life. Smuggling into Australia looks crazy difficult, but the pay-off would be extreme, if you weren't just some lowly mule.
I mean, the gamble is like 1 million kangaroo fun bucks a year, or 3 meals and a place to live for a year.

No please don't watch this
It'll just result in more Australians being selectively scammed by OS vendors

I love this show it shows the free market at work, from the construction contractors coming to work, to people just hoping to do some business, or get a job and stay, absolutely hilarious the stuff humans put each other through, and you have to sit there and take it and act like you aren't going to be a productive person in their special special country.

Part of the reason their customs is so tight is that they've got to watch out for invasive species -- they've already got several which cause lots of agricultural and environmental headaches.

Some of the stealth that comes in and is caught is fucking insane! Proper decent shit from Colombia or China that you would never expect to find drugs in. Most of the big finds have to be from tip offs, the stealth on some is too good.
Also their "narcotics detector" or whatever that scanner thing is that they rub on peoples bags is hilarious. That thing must be calibrated to detect extremely trace amounts of any drug. When my friend actually visited Australia on a tourist visa from USA, the thing said it detect heroin and methamphetamine all over his bag. The guy is totally straight edge and has never even been exposed to drugs, it was kinda funny.
