‘Take a baby crocodile and see how you go there’ warns Australian PM after wombat row
The Australian prime minister has criticised a US influencer after she stole a baby wombat from her mother.
“Take a baby crocodile from his mother and see how you go there,” he told journalists during a news conference.
Sam Jones, who describes herself as an “outdoor enthusiast and hunter” on Instagram, was filmed picking up a baby wombat by an unidentified road and running across it to a car, while its mother ran after them.
The video, which was filmed in Australia, has since been deleted and Ms Jones’s Instagram account set to private.
Ms Jones’s visa is being reviewed by immigration officials, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke told the BBC, amid calls for her to be deported.
