I'd be interested to know where you got that information from, as aircraft coming into Australia are still treated with insecticides.
Most airlines, like Qantas, have a residual spray pumped throgh the plane once every three months and this coats every surface in the aircraft. So when you board, you are sitting in the pesticide for the entire journey.
Some airlines don't use residuals yet. When an Air Canada or Hawaiian Air flight arrives, Quarantine still walk down the aisles spraying, and the cargo holds are bombed with TOD's big brother "One Shot".
