I would hate to bring one home.... I have always worried about that.
Sorry if I worried you or your friend Balimagic. Did customs check them as you arrived into Australia? Did they see them or was they in her bag? I do know of someone who brought back those triangular pillow mattress's they are filled with Kapod and it was taken off them at customs and it was going to cost her $45 to have them fumigated and delivered to her door. This is why I have always sent mine home with cargo, they get extra fumigation + the container is also fumigated as well.
Apparently (according to the cargo man) in Bali the mice and rats love this filling. If you feel carefully you will feel the seeds.
My daybed mattress, bolster pillows and triangle pillow/mattress's have this filling.
Maybe go on the customs website and send them an email then if they are okay you have it in writing. I would find out 1st before burning them.
