pay to the Government, and they're responsible for the difference, you see. So at this stage, in effect, it is really airline money because they're going to have to pay the whole amount to the Government, and if they under-collect, they're going to lose the
difference, you see, and of course it is their job to make sure that they collect the whole amount. Under these arrangements it
wouldn't be entirely their job, it would be partly the Government's
job, and you see the problems which will arise here. What sort of legal responsibility to the airlines we would be taking on by under-
taking this work, I'm not sure, but I can't help feeling that the
airlines, when the increase between the amount of money they collect
and the amount of money they've got to pay over increases, will tend
to point the finger at the poor Government servants who are involved
in the process.
And this seems such a pity. And, of course, then
the Immigration Department will come under pressure to do the job
more carefully, to check more thoroughly.
