A
Dannemora woman has been slapped with a $10,000 fine by the Manukau District
Court after admitting to possessing and selling illegally imported edible bird
nests.
Judge Charles Blackie last week declined Stacey Miao Yu’s application for a discharge without conviction on two charges under the Biosecurity Act 1993. She had pleaded guilty to the charges on July 3.
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) has applauded the punishment.
