Following the article, a New Zealand entrepreneur, who wished to remain anonymous, contacted the Herald and said he wanted to cover Armstrong's fine. When she got to the airport, she bought a muffin and a gluten-free chicken and lettuce sandwich, which was sealed. “My husband kept saying, ‘Just pay it.’ I said, ‘It’s our pension, we can’t afford this’.”Armstrong paid the fine before the deadline, incurring a fee of $NZ3700. She also sent an email one month later to say the fine was having a significant impact on her life.
