As a leading public health specialist states that the government seeks to respond, Australia could be on the brink of a fifth Covid wave, with infections in every state and territory increasing. These figures are obviously going in the wrong direction,' Bill Bowtell AO, an adjunct professor at UNSW and health policy specialist, told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday. In the last week, nearly 1,500 Covid patients were admitted to hospitals in NSW, which has seen the biggest rise in cases in a week.

When he was stabbed multiple times at Sydney's Royal Easter Show on April 11, 2022, Carnival employee Uati 'Pele' Faletolu, 17, from Doonside in Sydney's western suburbs, was on a break from his work at the Dance Break ride. When asked whether they had been on the night of the sickening brawl, the majority of ride operators merely nodded their heads or looked away, with some of them saying they didn't see anything.' This year's Easter Parade appears to be the same as last year's - the same rides, games, animals, snacks, and showbags. So much has changed for those who live and breathe the show, the troupes of hardworking 'carnival people' who travel from all over Australia to delight excited adults and children alike. On Thursday night, Daily Mail Australia attended the annual show and asked factory employees, games, and food trucks how they felt about the new laws.

As they fight to sell the lowest price, supermarkets are locked in a last-ditch Christmas turkey price war
www.dailymail.co.uk,
December 20, 2022
A fresh turkey will cost you about 25% more than a year ago, mainly due to rising farm costs and the effects of bird flu. However, supermarkets are competing to produce the lowest shelf price on the internet. Last week, Tesco revealed that it would be offering whole British fresh turkeys to Clubcard customers at £4 a kilo (£1.81 a lb), while other customers would pay £5 per kilo. Crowns were also priced at £8.50 a kilo (£3.85 a lb) or £9.95 for some. Aldi went one better by lowering the cost of its cheapest fresh birds to £3.99 a kilo and crowns to £8.49 a kilo for all customers yesterday.

After a festive outbreak, supply will be greatly reduced, with half of all free range turkeys and geese being culled. According to study, the number of whole turkey and crown products in major supermarket stores has decreased by around a third relative to the previous year.

MP warns that free range eggs will be out by March because of the bird flu outbreak

December 1, 2022
In a year, nearly four million birds have died, and the morbid bird trade was ordered to stop spreading the deadly bird flu. However, eggs that hens have been inside for 16 weeks are no longer identified as 'free range'. It means that free range vendors in England and Wales will have to rebrand their names on February 27, instead of 'barn eggs.' Scotland has yet to order that all birds be kept indoors. During a discussion in Westminster Hall yesterday, Cat Smith, Labour MP for Lancaster and Fleetwood, said it's likely that we would miss the 16-week grace period at the moment because of the state of the influenza epidemic.' I'm also aware that a lot of producers are going to incur additional expenses in terms of rebranding their products, which would no longer be free range at the end of the process.' Following its outbreak in October 2021, the incredibly infectious avian influenza virus (HPAI) H5N1 is killing or resulting in the culling of tens of thousands of birds each day. There have been 257 confirmed cases in England, but the majority of them (137), which has been confirmed since October this year, indicating that the outbreak has quickly increased in intensity.

In the midst of the bird flu epidemic, fears of 'large, big' turkeys are on the rise at Christmas. The business leaders' stark warning came as it emerged that half of free-range birds had been killed or culled as a result of the virus. They told MPs that there is a real danger of shelves this holiday season, with one describing it as 'the worst bird-flu epidemic we've ever seen.' Many farmers, they said, had lost their entire flocks of thousands of turkeys, geese, and ducks in fewer than a few days.

Around half of the UK's free-range Christmas turkeys have died as a result of avian flu, causing a 'large, heavy shortage' on the shelves, according to one of the country's top producers. The United Kingdom is currently devastated by the country's biggest ever bird flu outbreak, with health officials culling nearly 4 million birds in a year and ordering the quarantine of all kept birds in a bid to reduce the outbreak (shown in graph, inset). Major supermarkets will see the most effects, according to Paul Kelly (right), a poultry farmer at Kelly Turkeys in Essex. But he also noted that some local butchers may have none at all.
