Ya I understand all about a visa to Aus, I am married to a Indonesian however surely the Indo govt could follow Singapore and other countries who have large tourist traffic to simplify it by doing VOA fee via the airline. We still have to go through immigration upon arrival so they could sort out the undesirables. With an aussie Visa they are looking for people who can not support themselves whilst in Aus and/or will not leave Aus. that's why they make it so hard and we allow some countries apply for a visa online like US are now doing. In indonesia they want the fee to support so called tourist facilities.
