Airline Passenger Hit With Massive Fine After Smuggling 'Undeclared Meat' Into Australia From American Fast Food Chain Mike Vance August 2, 2022 News An airline passenger was hit with a massive fine of thousands of dollars after a K-9 sniffed out a couple of McDonald's breakfast sandwiches. A dog in Australia’s Darwin Airport picked up a scent on a passenger's backpack that contained McDonald’s pancakes, two egg and beef sausage McMuffins, and a ham croissant. The passenger had just arrived from Indonesia. The items were described by Australian officials as “a variety of risk items,” including “undeclared meat.” The man was hit with a massive fine of $2,664 fine, which equates to about $1,845 in U.S. dollars. The fine was for failing to declare a potential biosecurity risk. The unnamed person traveling from Indonesia to Australia was fined $2,664 Australian dollars ($1,874 in American dollars) after the trio of McDonald's breakfast sandwiches were found in their luggage on arriving at Darwin Airport.https://t.co/eIiylvq7S1 — USA TODAY (@USATODAY) August 1, 2022 Murray Watt, Australia’s Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, was proud of the bust and said he had “no sympathy” for the man who received the fine. “This will be the most expensive Maccas meal this passenger ever has, this fine is twice the cost of an airfare to Bali, but I have no sympathy for people who choose to disobey Australia’s strict biosecurity measures, and recent detections show you will be caught,” Watt said. The department put out a press release that credited “detector dog Zinta” for discovering the food. “Australia is FMD-free, and we want it to stay that way,” Watt said. “Zinta was placed at Darwin Airport as part of the Albanese Government’s tough new biosecurity defences, and it’s excellent to see she is already contributing to keeping the country safe.” “Biosecurity is no joke—it helps protect jobs, our farms, food and supports the economy,” the secretary continued. “Passengers who choose to travel need to make sure they are fulfilling the conditions to enter Australia, by following all biosecurity measures.” This isn't the first time this happened. Last month an Australian woman received a huge fine for not disclosing her Subway sandwich had lettuce and chicken on it. “I didn’t tick chicken and I didn’t tick lettuce. Chicken and lettuce,” Jessica Lee said via social media. “And that is a nice little $2,664 … to be paid in 28 days. Such an expensive rookie mistake.” Forgotten Subway sandwich costs Australian traveller Jessica Lee $2664 on arrival home #subway #singapore #australia https://t.co/8o6HGJ5ppv — Degrassi High (@DegrassiHigh2) July 21, 2022 They take meat coming into their country very seriously in Australia.

Biden 2024 Statistic Leaves CNN Host Speechless The writing is on the wall, but the Democrats refuse to look at it. President Joe Biden has no chance of being re-elected in 2024.

Instead of getting fresh faces into the party, they keep trotting out nearly 80-year-old Joe Biden. Continue reading... Biden Makes Embarrassing Mistake in Tweet Bragging About Gas Prices Not too long ago we were being led to believe that the actions of President Biden have nothing to do with gas prices. Suddenly that narrative has gone out the window and President Biden is bragging about the gas prices on Twitter. The only problem is this administration can't do anything right. I say this administration because obviously Sleepy Joe isn't composing his own tweets. If you're going to brag about saving someone $35 a month then at least keep the typos out of it. That was too tall of a task for this disastrous administration. Continue reading...
