Johnny Depp’s wife, Amber Heard, is pushing for a trial early next year on biosecurity charges involving her pet Yorkshire terriers.
Heard is accused of illegally bringing her two dogs Boo and Pistol into the country on a private jet when she visited Depp, who was filming the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie on the Gold Coast.

• Depp dog case adjourned
• Which movies pass the Bechdel test?
Heard’s solicitor on Monday told Southport Magistrates Court his client wants a trial early in the new year. Heard did not appear.
Documents petitioning for the early court date were sealed by the court after a request by Herd’s lawyer.
A five-day hearing is expected.
The court also heard the Federal Government will bring 12 witnesses to trial.
The matter has been set down again for mention on December 15.
