Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce has threatened Johnny Depp with perjury charges in the latest episode of Australia’s so-called “war on terrior”.
The bizarre feud between Depp and Mr Joyce was escalated after Depp branded the politician a “sweaty, big-gutted man from Australia”.
As a result, Mr Joyce, ho is also agricultural minister, has warned the Australian government might reinvestigate Depp.
The Hollywood actor and his then-wife Amber Heard failed to declare their two Yorkshire terrier dogs, Pistol and Boo, to Australian customs after arriving by private jet in 2015. Australia’s highest profile quarantine case was then propelled into the limelight after Mr Joyce threatened to put down the couple’s dogs unless they “buggered off back to the United States”.
