Rise of the 'worliday'?

I saw the following article a few months back about the rise of the 'worliday' - people taking their smartphones, laptops etc on holiday with them and putting in a few hours work each day to keep on top of things:

Personally I think this is a bit of a sorry state of affairs that someone might not be able to head off for a couple of weeks well-deserved rest each year without worrying about work - although I understand for the self-employed etc this might be a necessary evil allowing them to take a holiday they might otherwise not have been able to take.

 

However, then it got me thinking about tourist visas - what if someone entered Australia on a tourist visa and wanted to check in with work back in the UK once a day? Would the terms of the visa prevent this or would this not matter seeing as you would be working for a company outside of Australia?

 

Not that this is something I would ever consider - I value my holidays far too much :laugh:
