Krista, that picture sure shows how much work she went to so that she could conceal the fish. (Can you imagine how much that 'petticoat' would weigh with all the fish in it?!)

Australia is incredibly strict when it comes to protecting their wildlife from the outside world. Their preventative measures are first class. Rather than having to go around spending billions to clean up after the fact, or losing countless native species, they focus on prevention. I'm surprised they didn't nail her harder & make an example by using the media coverage the situation attracted. She must have had a very good lawyer or a very bad judge.

Thanks for the update Krista!
