I lolled. Frankly the whole thing has amused the ever-living piss out of me.
(I'd also like to point out that Kyle Sandilands is basically Australia's Jeremy Clarkson only without the cars and he's on FM radio rather than the BBC. So basically nobody ever expects sense to come out of his mouth. Also Barnaby Joyce is, indeed, a knob.)
But yeah. You cannot accidentally take a frigging ANIMAL into Australia. There are signs all over every airport, both the international and domestic terminals, to remind you no fruit or veggies OR ANIMALS. They mention it on the plane when you come into land, no animals. There's the Customs form you fill out and they ask you if you have anything to declare. Not to mention the fact that we're kinda known for having the strictest quarantine laws in the world, and the monkeys they're using on the movie had to be quarantined for months before they could be allowed in. You can't miss all this. Those dogs were deliberately smuggled in. Much as I love Pirates, I am most curious to see what, if anything, ends up happening.
