This report provides details on the confirmation of H5N1 avian influenza in New South Wales, the international status of the Great Barrier Reef, and recent political activities at both the federal and state levels in Australia.

本報告詳細介紹了新南威爾斯州確認出現 H5N1 禽流感、大堡礁的國際地位，以及澳洲聯邦與州政府近期的政治活動。

Regarding biosecurity, the government has confirmed six cases of the H5N1 bird flu strain. The most recent case was found in a giant petrel in Hawks Nest, New South Wales, marking the first time the virus has appeared in that state. To reduce the risk of transmission, experts have recommended increased biosecurity measures, such as voluntarily keeping free-range poultry indoors. Specialists from Boston University and the World Organisation for Animal Health emphasized that Australia's success depends on using both active and passive monitoring to prevent the virus from spreading to farms. Currently, the virus is only found in migratory seabirds and has not affected commercial poultry or local wildlife.

關於生物安全，政府已確認六宗 H5N1 禽流感病例。最新的一宗是在新南威爾斯州 Hawks Nest 的一隻巨彼得信鵜中發現的，這是該病毒首次在該州出現。為了降低傳播風險，專家建議加強生物安全措施，例如自願將走地家禽移至室內。波士頓大學與世界動物衛生組織的專家強調，澳洲的成功取決於同時使用主動與被動監測，以防止病毒蔓延至農場。目前，該病毒僅在遷徙海鳥中發現，尚未影響商業家禽或本地野生動物。

In terms of the environment, UNESCO and the International Union for Conservation of Nature have expressed concern about the Great Barrier Reef. These organizations asserted that Australia's current climate targets are not enough to meet the global goal of limiting heating to 1.5C. While Environment Minister Murray Watt admitted that more progress is needed, the World Heritage committee will review the Reef's status in South Korea, with a new progress report due in 2028.

在環境方面，聯合國教科文組織與國際自然保護聯盟對大堡礁表示關注。這些組織主張澳洲目前的氣候目標不足以實現將全球升溫限制在 1.5C 的目標。雖然環境部長 Murray Watt 承認需要更多進展，但世界遺產委員會將在韓國審視大堡礁的地位，新的進展報告將於 2028 年提交。

On the political front, there is clear tension within the NSW Labor conference. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the alliance between the Liberal, National, and One Nation parties as an 'axis of grievance.' Meanwhile, internal party disagreements have arisen regarding tax rules for rental property investors. In the opposition, Dan Tehan stated that the Liberal Party is not seeking a coalition with One Nation. However, he mentioned that the party might support private investment in new coal-fired power plants because they produce fewer emissions than older plants. Finally, police in New South Wales have charged two people after they allegedly used a fake gun to threaten people at a Sydney synagogue.

政治方面，新南威爾斯州工黨會議內部明顯存在緊張局勢。總理 Anthony Albanese 將自由黨、國家黨與 One Nation 黨之間的聯盟形容為「不滿軸心」。同時，黨內在租賃物業投資者的稅務規則上出現分歧。在反對黨方面，Dan Tehan 表示自由黨並不尋求與 One Nation 組建聯盟。然而，他提到該黨可能會支持新建燃煤電廠的私人投資，因為新電廠的排放量比舊電廠低。最後，新南威爾斯州警方起訴了兩名人士，因其涉嫌使用假槍在悉尼的一座猶太會堂威脅他人。

Australia continues to manage the limited spread of H5N1 through better monitoring while dealing with internal political arguments and international pressure to improve its climate goals.

澳洲繼續透過更完善的監測來控制 H5N1 的有限傳播，同時處理內部政治爭論以及改善氣候目標的國際壓力。
