What shitty article. No explanation of anything. Get this shit out of here.

That’s a chicken burger in the picture, love when there’s an article about aus/nz but using American nomenclature
It even converted to USD. But for real y’all call it a chicken burger?
Burger is ground meat and chicken sandwiches are often made of whole meat. Cheapo ones are mechanically separated which would count as ground, but the one in the photo is not.
Over here if it’s on a bun it’s a burger, if it’s on sliced bread it’s a sandwich, simple as
Precisely this. American terminology applies in America only.
I’m sorry, but we invented English. We say what words are valid in the language.
LOL, America did what now? Invented English? Met an English fella the other day, born and raised in New York.
I don’t like having to use /s, but there are people like you.
Britain speaks Old English. We speak the newest one.
A Cuban sandwich is on a bun, is that a burger? Same goes for cheese steaks and French dips and subs, served on buns, is burger?
No, no, it has to be a round bun.
So White Castle doesn’t count as a burger? 🤔
White Castle does not exist in AU/NZ so the round bun criteria is still consistent
You’re expecting logic from the Alcatraz continent?
What about sandwiches made with rolls and bagels?
Also, I see the aussie point, but, in the US, burger is short for hamburger, which refers to the meat itself. Do you only say ground beef too? Or is ground beef also called hamburger?
And also… Is a burger not considered a type of sandwich?
I hadn’t heard of this dialect difference. Fun stuff!
A roll is a roll and a bagel is a bagel, a sub is a sub, they’re not really called sandwiches here unless it’s on sliced bread
The meat is beef mince or minced beef (not ground). It’s formed into and cooked as a patty, which is one component of a delicious hamburger.
I think most people would say yes to “is a burger a type of sandwich” but that’s a very different question to would you call a burger a sandwich, which an Aussie would not.
A bagel is a bagel. Two halves of a bagel with something on between are still a bagel. The same goes for a roll. A sandwich is two slices of bread with something in between.
nope we’d call that a burger in aus/nz
“Chicken meat poses a significant biosecurity risk to Australia, particularly the risk of highly pathogenic notifiable avian influenza (HPNAI) virus which can cause severe disease and mortality across Australia’s poultry industry, and may also affect wild bird populations.”
We do have a reputation for taking these things very seriously, as we should. We were even going to kill Johnny Depp’s dogs at one point but settled for the “hostage video”. Despite that, it does seem excessive in this case and should have been overturned on appeal at the very least.
Thankfully someone stepped up and ended up paying the fine on their behalf.

That was just Barnaby Joyce grandstanding and making a big deal out of ‘we apply the rules to everyone, no matter if they’re rich or famous’. No fucking way he would have ever laid hands on those dogs. The man was and still is a fucking embarrassment to politics and Australia.
Agreed and I made a similar point in a few of my other comments. If you look at the original context it was more of a “well you have to abide by the rules and the dogs should be quarantined but if you’re not willing to do that then we would have no other option”.

Great, then declare it and there shouldn’t be any problem. Where the problem comes in is people not declaring it. If it’s hidden somewhere in their luggage or on their person how is anyone supposed to know that?
Granted it is harsh in this case which I already said but customs has no interest in letting people skirt the rules just because.
That’s dumb. I understand restrictions on uncooked meats, but what harm could a cooked chicken breast do? This is what happens when officials blindly enforce rules without understanding the purpose of the rule in the first place.
You should be thankful it’s cooked.
If it’s undercooked? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

Overcooked? Also jail.
It’s a genuine biosecurity risk in Australia. Australia (and NZ) are very susceptible to pathogens from outside so this kind of thing is taken very seriously in both countries.
It’s a genuine biosecurity risk in Australia.
A cooked chicken sandwich? And letting in people who’ve eaten the sandwiches isn’t a biosecurity risk? Hmm. I’m questioning the genuineness of the concern.
You probably shouldn’t let any people in then.
“Nope, don’t worry about that. It’s the chicken sandwiches that are the problem.”
“Don’t risk it for a Bisquit”
Bisquick has ruined your spelling.
Got me, apologies on this, but it was nesquick
Same thing happened to me with a Tim Hortons bagel. Border guards with small dicks having a power trip. The best part? The question on the computer was “are you importing any xyz…”. I was not importing it, I was eating it at the airport. Still had my Nexus taken.
“Flightless” for a reason, grandma.
I remember flying back from Spain one time and a young woman behind me in line to clear customs had two Spanish sausages, long ones, on top of her luggage. They were a no-no. Clearly, she did not give a fuck. Customs let her through.
