Amber Heard is seemingly enjoying some schadenfreude as the Australian politician who threatened to destroy her beloved dogs over biosecurity laws may have to resign.

Barnaby Joyce, the Deputy Prime Minister, recently found out his father was born in New Zealand and therefore he has dual citizenship.

Under Australian laws, to become an MP one has to renounce all other citizenships before running - which means he may have to stand down.

Amber Heard was overjoyed, tweeting: "When @Barnaby_Joyce said 'no one is above the law' I didn't realize he meant New Zealand law".

She then offered to send him a box of kiwi fruit - which she said should get to him as long as they pass his biosecurity laws.

This refers to when he threatened to destroy her dogs, Pistol and Boo, because she was accused of smuggling them into the country from the US.

She subsequently had to film a tearful apology with her then-partner Johnny Depp.

The actress was given a one-month good behaviour bond and no conviction in Australia after pleading guilty to a charge of falsifying documents while bringing her two pet Yorkshire terriers into the country aboard a private jet in 2015.

Barnaby Joyce warned at the time that the dogs would be killed within 72 hours if they did not “bugger off” and leave the country.
