This commenter dug up even more baffling details: https://aussie.zone/post/15912083/13633454

The Guardian's headline is.pretty tame all things considered. You could have had:

From the first one:

Goodson had declared that she was carrying cat, squirrel and rabbit parts on her incoming passenger card, but failed to mention the gun.

...

The court also heard that she previously owned two other guns while living in the States, but she had accidentally given them away.

"Those guns I ended up giving away, because I accidentally left them in a donation box."

From the last one:

Her lawyer said she packed the pistol because she was high and paranoid from synthetic marijuana

She also has a horn and a bone through her nose.
