Who let the dogs out?
by Alice Workman
Labor senator Glenn Sterle is callina for a Senate inquiry into the Pistol and Boo palaver after Agriculture secretary Andrew Metcalfe refused to answer a question about the investigation into Amber Heard - former wife of Joyce's Hollywood nemesis Johnny Depp. It's been 15 months since Strewth revealed the government was investigating the 35-year-old actor for possible perjury.If this was citrus canker or prawn white spot, Sterle argued, there would be an inquiry regardless of any legal action. “This is a really cut and dry case,” he said. “Two celebrities thought they could sneak their dogs in on a private jet and were caught. Now we're talking perjury. What is there to hide, and why is it taking so long?" It's only cut and dry, Metcalfe explained, if they could land a conviction. And that's up to the AFP. "As much as we might like to pursue this matter, we have to be in the queue behind all other matters that those those organisations are dealing with and our international partners. are dealing with," he said. "But I think you can take it as read that ... we're pursuing the matter and we don't intend to go away." There has been one unintended bonus — it has provided "free publicity" for "how seriously" Australia is taking its biosecurity laws. As for how much the star-paws saga has cost? Metcalfe took that question on notice.
