Avian Influenza Watch: Australia’s H5N1 bird flu response is ramping up after a third positive result in South Australia (migratory seabirds) and another suspected case in WA, with authorities stressing there’s still no sign of infection in poultry and urging the public to report sick or dead wildlife. Poultry & Biosecurity: WA poultry operations have been locked down following earlier detections, while testing and surveillance expand across states as egg and supply concerns linger. Free-range Egg Penalty: In Victoria, Doreen Egg has been hit with an ACCC action after admitting it sold eggs labelled “free range” without outdoor access, with thousands of cartons involved and commitments to tighten compliance and packaging. Truffle Breakthrough: A Manjimup grower, Australian Truffle Traders, says it has harvested its first farmed white truffle (bianchetto) from stone pines planted in 2022—potentially a new WA cultivation pathway. Energy for Farms & Homes: NSW and NZ political plans both push household solar and batteries (via low-interest loan schemes and renewable zones), aiming to improve resilience and cut power bills. Feral Pig Win: Kangaroo Island has been declared feral pig-free after eradication efforts, expected to protect native habitat and reduce ongoing agricultural damage. Wine Export Push: Wine Australia is targeting Asia-Pacific growth with trade roadshows and major pavilion activity in Hong Kong and China.
