A professor from New Zealand is facing hassles in entering the land of Kangaroos, courtesy a conviction that the lady received during the Springbok tour in the 1980s.

Jane Kelsey, the concerned professor, herself confirmed that she faced detention at the Sydney Airport. The immigration authorities didn’t allow her to enter the nation like other New Zealanders as she was applauded as an inappropriate being as far as the Australia’s 1994 immigration laws are concerned. She was not given the freedom to enter the premises visa free like other Kiwis.

At last, she was granted the entry but was asked that she would be requiring a visa the next time she enters the nation.

In her statement she said that she visits Australia for certain issues linked with her professional behavior on a regular basis. She even attended a conference linked with academic facets last month. During her every visit, she ticks the box meant for criminal convictions that relates to her experience with the tour of Springbok. This is for the first time that she has faced this twist that’s she was asked about her visa to enter the nation.

She has confirmed that she has filed a complaint with High Commissioner of Australia, saying that there is a possibility of “an ill-judged over-reach” from the side of the immigration officials working at the Sydney Airport.

She said that there are chances that her name has been flagged as she is linked with the promotion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. If she has to file an application for a visa every time she lands up in the land of Kangaroos, her movements would be tracked in an easier manner.
