Stealth Kiwis Takeover

Remember that post I did about the comical cascade of accidental dual-citizenry that was ousting Australian politicians from office? Well it has struck again. This time the DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER of Australia, Barnaby Joyce, has been found to be accidentally a citizen of New Zealand. Oooops. http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/barnaby-joyce-citizenship-email-that-could-bring-down-the-deputy-pm-was-sent-on-august-7-at-1231pm-20170814-gxvjlq.html

Now if that name sounds familiar, then you may remember him as the guy who threatened to kill Johnny Depp’s dogs. As a member of the rural National Party, Joyce is a somewhat eccentric figure who trades off a true-Aussie-bloke persona.

  1. What, are Kiwis sneaking into Aussies’ homes in the middle of the night and giving them passports???

    That there is some epic trolling. 😀

  3. Typical — blokier than thou and he isn’t one.

    Also, while I don’t approve of either Johnny Depp or small yappy dogs, threatening to kill small dogs is never a good idea.

      OR smuggling animals in past quarantines and screening procedures; people who have arrogantly done what Depp did have caused ecological disasters by introducing devastating invasive pests and parasites (which was why Joyce threatened to euthanize Depp’s illegally imported animals).

      • You’d think more people would be aware of the reasons for the stringent quarantine and control procedures after The Simpsons did that episode where Bart brought the bullfrog into Australia.
