questions about Santa Claus

I'm surprised that Santa Claus has not been apprehended for questioning yet, when he visits Australia.

There are a number of questions that require answers.

1. As Mr Claus intends to work in Australia, delivering presents and lumps of coal to children, did he apply for a work visa, and if so, was he granted one?

2. Does Mr Claus enter Australia at a designated border control - either airport or seaport?

3. Does Mr Claus pay customs duty and taxes on the goods that are outside of the allowable duty free allocation?

4. Are the reindeers quarantined upon arrival given the risk of foot and mouth disease in live deer imports?

5. Where Mr Claus enters Australia prior to his delivery of presents, and offers children to sit on his knee - has he had a police check to ensure he can be trusted to work with children?

Of course, there are even more questions about the status of the height-challenged staff working in Santa's workshop. There have been allegations that they are indentured slaves.
