Amber Heard is experiencing some government paperwork karma at the moment, and she seems to be enjoying it.
Back in 2016, an Australian court required Heard and then-husband Johnny Depp to release an apology video after the pair falsified paperwork to bring their dogs Pistol and Boo into the country. One politician in particular—deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce—was especially heated about the issue. In 2015, he threatened to have the dogs euthanized unless they were sent back to the U.S. The dogs were in violation Australia’s biosecurity laws, but it was an intense approach nonetheless.
Fast forward to 2017, and it’s Joyce’s turn in the hot seat after being outed as a citizen of New Zealand—something that’s illegal for a sitting member of parliament (according to Australia’s constitution). So if Australia’s supreme court rules against him, Joyce will be deemed ineligible to be a senator and spark a lot of potential havoc in the government. It would appear, in other words, that the shoe is truly on the other foot.
Heard seems to be enjoying the irony of it all. She tweeted about the case Monday evening.
“When @Barnaby_Joyce said ‘no one is above the law’ I didn’t realize he meant New Zealand law…” she quipped.

“I have sent him a box of New Zealand’s finest kiwi fruit (assuming this passes his biosecurity laws),” she continued.

And who knows? He might just need the sweet treats after this case is over.
