This feels like entrapment.

Airlines are handing out entire apples to every passenger you say? When they normally give you 3 peanuts? And these apples are forbidden at the destination? And the passengers are unlikely to know? But they're liable for a $200 fine? I SMELL A KICKBACK SCHEME!

Tyranny blossoms when the spirit of the law is lost and all that's left is the uncaring, inhuman letter of the law

Yes. Due to their knowing the cause, why didn't they just say "aahh... wtf..." take the apples and let people off the hook? No. Because they follow orders. This is how the 1930's was possible.

A self-respecting person would tell the boss "I won't abuse people and I quit!" Instead this dude is defending this absurd abuse. This policy is not going to help Australia tourism. They went crazy during Covid and never regained sanity.

You don’t hate government enough.

What a way to sour the beginning of a visit to New Zealand! And agreed, Singapore Airlines along with any other airline flying into New Zealand should know this & warn their passengers instead of giving them the illegal contraband to spoil their day & cost them money! Shame! 🍎🍏

Bringing in toxic RNA shots though, no problem. The tyrannical NZ government encourages that. Be sure to not write anything down and only communicate by telephone. Bunch of psych0paths.

What a weasel. There is zero need for a $200 fine…for an apple 😡

When did they start giving out whole pieces of fruit, particularly apples, on flights? Someone test those apples for Apeel.

People are so weak. I'd tell them to go fuck themselves and fine the airline for handing them out and there is nothing they can do about it except confiscate it. Watch the circus that ensues when you call a lawyer and the local news
