Barnaby Joyce is still trying to defend himself in a recent editorial. Who has made a joke of Australia's biosecurity? Barnaby Joyce. The world now knows that those with private jets weren't being subjected to sniffer dogs and bag inspection. Or, at least they weren't until Barnaby Joyce needed to defend that two dogs got through. A dog wouldn't be able to smell another dog? Come on, Barnaby - someone wasn't doing their job. But instead of admitting there was a security breach, your answer is to jump on the world stage and threaten the death sentence for two Yorkshire terriers? Nice diversion, but yes, as they say, something about closing the stable door after the horse has bolted?
Your message about biosecurity might be taken a little more seriously if you'd just admit that someone screwed up and stop trying to defend your ridiculous bluster that the offending terriers needed to be put to death. - Barnaby Joyce: why I let fly at Johnny Depp
