  Australia has extremely strict customs because the flora and fauna is unique and has been isolated from the rest of the world for millions of years. We also don't have things like Rabies, and we'd like to keep it that way.

    FYI: Australia has "Australian bat lyssavirus" which is indeed a thing very much like rabies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_bat_lyssavirus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_bat_lyssavirus. It surprised me when I learned about its existence :)

    The UK doesn't have rabies either.

    Not that it matters. A bite from an Australian animal would kill you before the rabies kick in anyway.
