# American influencer Sam Jones has reportedly left Australia, a day after the news broke local authorities are reviewing her visa status following a video showing her picking up a baby wombat from its mother. It shows the mother frantically following them when she crossed a road, and Jones later saying she’d rather return the little one. Wombats are legally protected in Australia. Home Affairs minister Tony Burke confirmed an investigation to determine if Jones had breached the conditions of her stay, saying she will probably not be back.
