Dolphin dies from bird flu as Australians remain missing in Nepal floods > 호주뉴스

A dolphin has died from H5 bird flu in South Australia, marking the second native mammal species known to have contracted the virus. On Friday afternoon, the Tasmanian government reported the discovery of approximately 100 dead little penguins on King Island. However, testing for H5 bird flu was not possible due to the decayed condition of the penguins. Researchers at a station on Macquarie Island will be evacuated over concerns of possible psychological stress.

Families of an Australian Defence Force member and two Sydney boys who went missing with their parents in Nepal are expressing hope as they await news following devastating flooding. More than 1,500 people are unaccounted for after massive flash floods and landslides affected the Bhotekoshi and Trishuli river basins on the Nepal-Tibet border. The disaster has resulted in 469 confirmed fatalities, with relatives remaining anxious yet hopeful for the safe return of their loved ones.

The Nepali community in Australia is organizing vigils to honor the victims of the recent Nepal-Tibet flood disaster. These events will coincide with a national day of mourning. Meanwhile, the Australian government has committed $5 million to assist affected communities in Nepal, a figure critics argue is insufficient given the scale of the calamity. The Greens have called for a more substantial commitment to aid in rebuilding efforts, emphasizing the connection between climate change and the frequency of such disasters.

David Shoebridge, the Greens’ spokesperson on foreign affairs, has called for Australia to significantly increase its aid to Nepal in the wake of the devastating floods. He criticized the government's commitment of $5 million as inadequate for addressing the extensive needs of the affected communities. Shoebridge highlighted the necessity for Australia to meet its carbon reduction targets, suggesting that failure to do so will lead to more frequent disasters similar to the current situation in Nepal.

A corruption inquiry has revealed that Charles Perrottet wrote about a plan to damage the career of Liberal minister David Elliott. The message, sent to his wife Anita Perrottet, included the phrase “we execute the prick once party room is over.” Anita Perrottet testified that she could not recall the specific meaning of these messages exchanged in the days leading up to her brother-in-law Dominic Perrottet's election as New South Wales premier in October 2021.
