Of course, where there are rewards, there are also punishments. The Department of Public Safety imposes strict penalties on foreign immigrants who continue to engage in criminal activities.
For minor offenses, foreign immigrants may face at least one month of forced labor and a small fine.
If such crimes are recorded, it may also affect the assessment and granting of citizenship. Without true Australian citizenship, individuals cannot enjoy the welfare policies enacted by various departments in Australasia.
For serious offenses, the Department of Public Safety's penalties range from a minimum of ten years of forced labor to discretionary death sentences. Furthermore, their families and friends may also be implicated.
However, there is a provision that if one discovers that their friends or family members are planning or engaged in criminal activities and reports them, it will not affect their own immigration progress.
