Amber Heard says she won't be going to Australia again, though she was busy promoting her upcoming film 'Magic Mike XXL'.

Speaking on the sidelines of a promotional event, the 27-year-old actress said, she feels that she and her husband Johnny Depp will avoid the "land down under" as much as they can because of the politicians there, reports the Us magazine.

The 'Drive Angry' actress targeted Australia's Agriculture Minister, Barnaby Joyce, who threatened to have her dogs Pistol and Boo euthanised in May when they landed without documentation.

Joyce had done this because Australia has very strict bio-security laws for pets coming into the country, which includes medical testing, proof of vaccinations, blood work and more to ensure that the animals were healthy.
