you don't pay the locally provided services till you arrive and actually receive the service.
If you book through one of the O/seas travel agents I am sure a refund would be forthcoming.
And anyway, why would they "crack down"??
This would only occur if the service and process was illegal (would be the best advertised covert service ever known!!).
Hardly likely when also supplied by well known Australian travel agents.
If you do need to use it, you can do so with confidence in spite of grumblings on here.
