“It will be the most expensive meal he’s ever had from McDonald’s” in his life, Australian Agriculture Minister Murray Watt commented.
Traveler who arrived at Australia from Indonesia is required to pay fine of nearly $2,000 USA, as it was found by the border guard that he had two McMuffins and a ham croissant in his backpack.
Zinda, the specially trained dog, was quick to sniff out the sandwiches, which were smuggled into Darwin Airport in Australia and will cost the traveler a hefty fine.
“It will be the most expensive meal he’s ever had from McDonald’s” in his life, Australian Agriculture Minister Murray Watt commented.
In Australia the legislation is extremely strict in terms of biosecurityto protect the agricultural industry from pests and diseases.
Australian authorities are currently on high alert following an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Indonesia, and all meat imports from that country are subject to checks.
Although this disease is not dangerous to humans, it is highly contagious and serious to cattle.
The fine 2,664 AUD equals the cost of 567 McMuffins in Sydneyfrom where there are many return flights to Bali.
