"freely". The context here matters. The tone when entering any country is already quite serious (i.e. passengers must proceed according to airport/airline rules and processes). Australia's inbound UX has a few additional aspects that make the tone more stern. An announcement is made on inbound international flights' about fines/deportation for undeclared risks to biosecurity; minds start to wonder about the wooden chess board or leather belt; it's typical to second-guess or be a bit nervous, especially non-English speakers who only caught every second word. A formal-looking document ('Incoming Passenger Card' [1]) must then be completed. Airport staff are generally slightly authoritarian (Australia's aren't the worst in this regard, but it contributes to the vibe the passenger perceives). After a passenger has experienced this serious tone for several hours, they could perceive further requests in the same context as being ones best not politely declined.
