Johnny Depp, Amber Heard on Gold Coast for quarantine case (10 year prison sentence possible)

AMBER Heard and her Hollywood superstar husband Johnny Depp have jetted in to the Gold Coast ahead of their date with destiny with a Southport judge.

The most glamorous court case to hit the Gold Coast in years is set to get under way today as Heard stands trial for allegedly smuggling the couple’s dogs in to the country a year ago, while Depp was shooting Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales on the Gold Coast.

.....

Heard was charged with of two counts of illegal importation and one count of producing a false document, her incoming passenger card, after allegedly smuggling yorkshire terriers Boo and Pistol in to the country on a private jet while Depp was filming the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie on the Gold Coast last April.

Then agriculture minister and now Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce famously threatened to have the dogs euthanised if they didn’t ‘bugger off’ back to the US. The dogs were eventually deported.

Heard’s legal team entered an official plea of ‘not guilty’ in December.

She could face up to 10 years in jail and a fine of $100,000 if found guilty.

While rats can carry rabies, it’s actually extremely rare. Less than 1% of rabies cases in humans are caused by rat bites even in places where the disease is endemic.

It’s believed this is largely because rats are small enough that they rarely survive the attack by a rabid animal.

So they are not seen as a significant vector for the disease.

Nah, I think you’re thinking of Cote d’Ivoire, or Ivory Coast.

So humans entering the US is OK. But our federal police can waste their time on dogs entering illegally? Where are our priorities.

That can’t be true.

Have you heard the crap Russell Crowe vomits over the last few years?

It is. Australia hasn’t had a case of rabies in animals since they eradicated it decades ago. Animals have to be quarantined for thirty days before being let into the country. It’s the law and they are adamant about it.

PS - I don’t pay attention to what Russell Crowe or any Hollyweird/actor says.

That’s the difference between America and Australia.

Here we let Millions of undocumented Illegal Invaders into the Country who could have Polio, TB or goodness knows what.

Then we give them Housing and Welfare, Amnesty from our Immigration Laws, Free Schooling and In State College Tuition denied to the Children of American Citizens.

Let me guess. When they were confronted by police, each said, "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"

Just a small example of the Elite who will rule the world if they succeed with their ongoing efforts.

In most countries of the world, this would be a transparent SHAKE-DOWN, but I don’t know about the country it’s happening in.

Oh, I know it’s true.

I’ve tried taking my dogs to other countries and they are pretty dang’d series about quarantine.

I think Ireland wanted 90 days and I said “Nope. skip that. You want to take my chillen uh wayz from me for that long. Ain’t happening”.

So Johnny Depp sends his wife to take the heat for him. What a POS. Typical lefty coward. Expatriates like him should have their citizenship revoked and be denied entry into the US. See what happens when he can’t get the Hollywood paycheck any more. Filthy rotten pile of excrement.

“I am going to get you my pretty and your little dogs too” is an excellent idea.

I applaud Australia in this.

Now if we could all stop the human vermin.

I thought for sure she made some public pronouncement of playing for the other team at some point.

We all hear about “lipstick lesbians” but truthfully when most of us see or hear of a conversion we are like....”meh who cares”. I remember thinking Amber Heard was a crucial loss for “bro’s”.

Maybe there’s been a reset in the time line.

Much like I could have sworn Billy Graham was no longer with us, and yet he’s still there. I chalked it up to an alternative reality that I “jumped” into.....

haha.
