AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoClimate & Food Security: Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology says this year’s El Niño could peak at the highest level since 1950, with Pacific sea-surface temperatures already about 2.5°C above average—sparking fresh warnings of wider drought/flood impacts and food-chain stress across Asia. Agriculture: A CSIRO-backed study finds late spring frosts and earlier heat events are still battering wheat yields, costing producers up to $360m a year, with growers increasingly caught between competing climate risks. Wildlife & Biosecurity: The Greens are pushing for a $200m emergency response fund to tackle the H5N1 bird flu threat to native wildlife, arguing the government has had nearly two years to prepare. Invasive Species Debate: NSW’s brumby culls in Kosciuszko are again under fire, with the federal opposition calling the mass killings “inhumane” and demanding local control instead. Weather Watch: The winter solstice brings a drying trend after rain in the south-east, but frosts are expected to return across inland areas.
