Depp will plea bargain it down to "a little kick on the bum" with a wing tip and then they will all play a rousing game of "knifie-spoonie".Quote:

Then you go to Australia
Step 18: Travel to Australia
- The dog must be consigned to Australia in a container that meets the standard required in the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Live Animals Regulation Container Requirement 1.
- In most cases the animal will be checked in at the freight terminal, not the passenger terminal.
- The dog must arrive in Australia prior to the expiry date of the import permit.
Step 19: On Arrival in Australia
- Staff from the department will collect your animal on arrival for transport directly to the Quarantine Facility.
- All cats and dogs must complete a minimum of 10 days in an Australian quarantine facility. Please note that 10 days quarantine is the minimum requirement only and that any issues that may increase the biosecurity risk posed by an animal may result in a longer stay in post-entry quarantine (for example, if a tick is found on your dog, they will need to stay for 21-30+ days until they repeat their blood testing; at the importer’s cost).
Australia is a rabies free country. Why would anyone be surprised that it is taken seriously.
