NSW bird flu scare; Albanese targets Hanson; ICAC claims Liberal scalp
New South Wales has reported its first suspected case of the deadly H5 bird flu after a sick giant petrel was found on Bennetts Beach at Hawks Nest, north of Newcastle. Test results are expected within 24 hours and will trigger a massive statewide surveillance response involving a 500-strong team to scour beaches and waterways. The discovery has rattled the state's billion-dollar poultry industry, which culled hundreds of thousands of birds during the last avian influenza outbreak two years ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
