"Smuggling" 2 well cared for poodles (well away for any livestock) inevitably leads to hard drug importation and international sex slavery?
Take a reality pill! |

It has been established that use of hyperboles relays emotions.
They can be used in a form of humor, excitement, distress, and many other emotions,
all depending on the context in which the speaker uses it. |
I know you were trying to achieve an emotional response (ie:1 not based on logic facts or reason)... but I missed your context.
Was the emotional target of your comment humourous (no), excitement, distress, fear, or something else?
I think you were some-where between perfectly serious and absolutely ridiculous, I can't all ways tell with you.

A big star like Johnny Depp DOESN'T fill in this own visa applications/paper-work!
He has an agent an assistant and a bevvy other hangers on to do that for him.
Sure the paper-work wasn't correct but that doesn't mean Barnaby Joyce should start talking about euthanizing 2 innocent dogs if Johnny Depp hence forth and forth-with doesn't deport these 2 noxious pooches before they destroy Australia's primary industries!
.... Quarrenteen (says Barnaby) is OUT of the QUESTION!!! ra ra ra!!!!
...Tact and diplomacy are not Joyce's strong suit!
fwitw
I'd like to hear Mr Depp's side of the story before we hear anymore brash trumpeting that is he is a dog smuggling good for nothing who believes he is above the law and liable to smuggle underage prostitutes and drugs inside pet poodles having a pedicure!
fwitw 2.
Hollywood making big budget pictures in Australia can only be a good thing for this country.
Why is Barnaby trying to sabotage that for the sake of 2 dogs and a piece of missing paper-work?
The man is a train wreck! |

No shit Sherlock! That's what happens when you delegate!

You stihl seem puzzled my dear watson so I'll explain (it's elementary).
Yes Depp has to delegate, he does not have the time to make sure ALL the correct paper-work is done, he has people for that too.
We should give him a chance to look into it and make the required changes/additions or find the person responsible for the over-sight if that's what it was.
A quiet word with Johnny Depp was what was needed, not idiotic and unbending ultimatums and threats to the lives of two innocent dogs!
Yes big budget films made in this country are a very good thing for this country
Hyperbolic pronouncements from Barnaby Joyce (and the like*) are harming this relationship and making us look like a bunch of obtuse mindless bullying bureaucratic hicks.
all for absolutely NO benefit!
Softly softly is a phrase Barnaby and Co appear unfamiliar with.
Now give me back that angry pill and sit down and have a cup of tea!
Why do I lichen him to a train wreck?
Well that's a device called humour.

Hmmm, here's a thought, maybe he got confused at the last Cabinet meeting and though we're having a War Against Terriers!

*In 2013 Barnaby was asked what he planned to do for the growers who's farms were going ruined by the closure of SPC he said...and I quote..."That's not my problem, that's a Liberal seat!"|
**Blaming Depp for charter planes loaded with drugs (the man is a drinker, not a sniffer) and underage prostitutes (he's a doting father) isn't helpful or constructive either...

I said what Johnny Depp IS, not what he was.
Twittter feeds are what the Nation really thinks?

No offence to owners of small dogs intended, but is there any backwards correlation between dog size and owner's insanity? Given Johnny's dogs' names, I'm guessing "yes".
