What's with those Aussies

Depp broke the law. He brought his two dogs down under and they told him he had to bring them back to the US or they would euthanize them!!

:: He could be facing jail time over his decision to illegally bring his two dogs into Australia.

An Australian Senate committee was told on Monday that if the matter goes to court and the Pirates of the Caribbean star is found guilty, he could face up to 10 years in jail or a maximum fine of $ 265,000.

Depp, 51, landed in hot water earlier this month after flying into Australia on a private jet with his Yorkshire Terriers, Pistol and Boo — breaking the country's strict quarantine laws.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, an ongoing investigation found that Depp, his fellow passengers and the flight crew didn't declare the dogs' presence, and they were only discovered after the pups were taken to a local groomer and photos were posted on social media. ::


10 years for a dog lover? LOL

Depp sums up everything 'Australia' finds threatening...
Anyone who has been there knows creativity, diversity and culture are the exception, not the rule.
Though Melbourners will disagree, its the Hillbilly Capital of the Southern Hemisphere.

They've Apartheid there for chrissakes...


The best Australian exports, stay exported (Nick Cave...)

don't they allow Japan to continue to whale hunt in Australia?? seems they should be more concerned with that...

why is this in the aquarius forum, apc??


Johnny Depp is a gemini with capricorn moon, it's either in gem forum, or cap, or moon sign forums.

or at least travel (for countries)

i guess depp didnt ask the airport /travel advisory for traveling and pets. *shrug*

when traveling people should know this, by asking through the laws/requirements.

lol weirdo. 😛

10 years for not following a protocol that has been put in place to protect Australia's eco system.

Did you know that in the 1920s they brought cane toads into aus because the farmers were getting black beetles in their sugar cane crops. Little did they know the cane toads went on to eat everything including the beetles and they thrived because they have no natural predators here because everything that tries to eat them die from their venom, its one of australia's biggest shames because they have made their way into the northern territory and places like kakadu which is one of the most beautiful places on earth and now its being taken over by cane toads, we have the same problem with feral rabbits and foxes etc....

Our environment is precious and its priceless, no fine paid could undo the potential damage that Depp did, in my honest opinion he knew exactly what he was doing when he brought his dogs here, he has the money and resources to get them through quarantine and customs.....Hes traveled enough to know the deal with this shit, it just shows his disregard for the law, its disrespectful and TBH I think 10 years is harsh but I'm not above having him banned from Aus.

Yeah, the ten years is what I find harsh. Actually, how did they miss it, him bringing in the dogs?

They get death for smuggling drugs in Asia. And your point is?

Not talking about Asia, but since you brought it up, they should get the death penalty for far worse things over there 😉

Nope. They've stopped it.

Took them long enough LOL

Whaling in AUSTRALIA started in 1788!

Arielle thank you for the elementary rundown on Aussie customs procedures.
Fascinating analysis...really brought something new to the discussion...lol

Few people would disagree that Private Jet owners are a law unto themselves.
Depp screwed up, and should pay the piper. Sure.

However, the Reaction from 'Australia' doesnt do the country any favours. As ever, their politicians are embarrassing themselves.
Its biggest cultural export is 1 x TV Show about How Difficult It Is To Get Into The Country - a Customs Reality show lol

No right minded Australian can disagree that there are Systemic (across society) issues which mark it out as a backward country:

Perhaps you can explain what the following Audtalian terms - refer to...

Lebs
Wogs
Abbos
Coon
Boong
Moorindachi
Boori

(see more at http://www.rsdb.org/races#australian_aboriginals)<BR>
Also, could you mention

1. what year your country stopped using humans in medical, military and scientific testing?
2. what percentage of non-white sports people have 'made it' in your country?
3. why your prime minister bravely decided to give a speech which went viral all about the sad state of your bizarrely misogynistic media?
4. How many Australian-operated concentration camps for refugees currently exist?

Australia is by far the most Jingoistic and racist country I have visited. Its a beautiful place, with some great people. But it has Issues. Seriously...
Its racially segregated despite being populated by many different cultures from Asia Pacific and Europe.

And by the way, if you laud Australia's xenophobic immigration system, and protection of its (very beautiful) environment, then
don't you think its hypocritical that the country is the biggest polluter of other countries (across Africa/Asia/South America?
Polluting Coal/Gold and other mining (globally), which kills people daily in developing countries, is the lifeblood of the Australian economy.

Yet it won't allow any of us lot to bring a falafel into the country?
Thats kind of amusing lol

OK only Nick Cave was a little unfair. But he's probably the best.
Theres also Tame Impala
Crowded House
Go Betweens
Ac Dc
Kylie
and lots more

Ummm pretty sure Neighbours and Home and away are our biggest cultural export.....either that or vegemite...

Yes I think its disgusting, hypocritical and small minded that we care so much to protect our environment and fail to realise that the whole planet is our environment, I'm also embarrassed that Gina Reinhart (owner of australian mines) is an Aquarian 😢 I'm embarrassed that compared to other female billionares that shes fat, ugly and greedy and inherited australia's natural resources.....who gives anyone the right to have possession of any countries resources or any rescources for that matter?

If you think Australia is racist try being a black person in china or south korea....

Now that truly is xenophobic ^^

I should add that I have had the pleasure of being in Australia and it is a very special place.
Run by idiots.
As you know.

All flavours of intolerance are BS. Chinese, Aussie, US, UK whatever.
But Oz will change for the better.
Gonna take time though...
