She claimed the gold-plated gun was for her own protection.
Liliana Goodson admitted illegally importing an unauthorised illegal firearm and illegally importing ammunition as she faced a hearing earlier this year.airport in April last year after being questioned by Australian Border Force officers about the 24-carat gold-plated pistol, worth about $3,000, in her luggage.
“It’s taken her a while to get to this point but she’s here and she is sorry she packed the gun and shipped off the ammunition to this country, and she deeply regrets the course of action that she took.”The magistrate, Susan Horan, questioned Goodson’s report of being “drug-free” after noting she did not appear to be “following the proceedings terribly well”.Davis said Goodson wanted to get tests to support her claim.
Prosecutors opposed an adjournment after earlier telling the court a picture of the gun “speaks for itself”. “This is a very confronting piece of firearm, which in my submission would terrify anyone presented with it,” crown prosecutors submitted.“Protection by such means of having a firearm is not the laws of Australia … a stance perhaps some Australians take pride in,” prosecutors said.
