Not here either.
I just got a parcel of jigsaw puzzles from America. (Can't get the sort I like here). It was opened by the Quarantine department because the word "Halloween" was in the title of one of them - mentioned on the declaration sheet. There was a note to say nothing was taken out but a glossy pamphlet told me I should tell my friends, overseas, that "items for cultural events" could well be banned from entry in Aus. Among the examples they listed were "pumpkins and straw dolls."
I sure hope my Secret Santa hasn't tried to send me a pumpkin. Cheers, Joy
