Ship carrying Tesla electric cars to Australia turned back to China - Drive

www.drive.com.au Ship carrying Tesla electric cars to Australia turned back to China

Australian authorities have sent a ship carrying Teslas back to China for processing of what are believed to be biosecurity hazards.

The ship was denied because there were stink bugs on the ship. Australian biosecurity laws are very strong.

- Thanks for saving us all a click. And good on the Aussies for protecting their ecosystems (and probably crops too to be fair).

  Yeah we don't do that. Biosec are good but internally states are lax. I live in world heritage rainforest and about 8 cats are left to roam constantly but I can't, sensibly I might add, walk my dogs in there on leash.
  
  We log our old growth forests, allow gardeners to plant invasive species and knock down rainforest to do so. It's good shit lmao.
  
  Australia is the same contradictory profit driven neoliberal shit as all the Thatcher-Reagan influenced nations.
