Australia: Embassies Not There for Absurd Requests
New measures include providing minimal consular services to Australians who willfully, repeatedly or negligently get themselves into trouble
CANBERRA — No, you can’t get a loan to pay for a prostitute in Thailand. And seeking assistance to evict a polecat above a ceiling in the U.S. is going to be futile.
Australia is taking steps to curb such absurd requests that its traveling citizens have lodged with Australian embassies and consulates around the world.
