## Resource

A suspected H5 bird flu case near Hawks Nest in NSW has sent ripples of concern through Australia’s poultry industry, which supplies over a third of the nation’s eggs and chickens. While officials stress no panic is warranted—there’s no evidence of spread to farms or wildlife yet—farmers are bracing for impact. One producer, already selling off ducks and geese and locking down his flock, warns culling could wipe out his business. With an incident response team on standby and vets preparing for worst-case scenarios, the government urges farmers to tighten biosecurity as migratory birds carry the virus across the continent. This H5 strain, different from the H7 that caused past devastation, is now Australia’s latest—and potentially most consequential—wildlife-linked threat.
