    Bureaucracy at its finest.

    Molly rocketed to fame after she was taken in by Gold Coast photographer Juliette Wells and her husband, Reece Mortensen, as a fledgling during lockdowns in 2020.
    Molly befriended one of the couple's pets, an English staffy named Peggy, and cute photos of the pair taken by Wells quickly went viral.
    "We had to surrender Molly to the Department of Science and Innovation as we had a small group of people constantly complaining to them."

    A DESI spokesperson said yesterday the couple allegedly did not have a valid rehabilitation permit.
