“Chicken meat poses a significant biosecurity risk to Australia, particularly the risk of highly pathogenic notifiable avian influenza (HPNAI) virus which can cause severe disease and mortality across Australia’s poultry industry, and may also affect wild bird populations.”
We do have a reputation for taking these things very seriously, as we should. We were even going to kill Johnny Depp’s dogs at one point but settled for the “hostage video”. Despite that, it does seem excessive in this case and should have been overturned on appeal at the very least.
Thankfully someone stepped up and ended up paying the fine on their behalf.

That was just Barnaby Joyce grandstanding and making a big deal out of ‘we apply the rules to everyone, no matter if they’re rich or famous’. No fucking way he would have ever laid hands on those dogs. The man was and still is a fucking embarrassment to politics and Australia.
That’s a chicken burger in the picture, love when there’s an article about aus/nz but using American nomenclature
Burger is ground meat and chicken sandwiches are often made of whole meat. Cheapo ones are mechanically separated which would count as ground, but the one in the photo is not.
Over here if it’s on a bun it’s a burger, if it’s on sliced bread it’s a sandwich, simple as
What about sandwiches made with rolls and bagels?
Also, I see the aussie point, but, in the US, burger is short for hamburger, which refers to the meat itself. Do you only say ground beef too? Or is ground beef also called hamburger?
And also… Is a burger not considered a type of sandwich?
I hadn’t heard of this dialect difference. Fun stuff!
A bagel is a bagel. Two halves of a bagel with something on between are still a bagel. The same goes for a roll. A sandwich is two slices of bread with something in between.
Precisely this. American terminology applies in America only.
