Flying-foxes play a crucial role in our ecosystem as pollinators! 🌸

Pollen carried on their fur gets distributed as they move from tree to tree, while seeds carried in their droppings spread far beyond their parent tree.

The public is advised that there is no active incident occurring at a shopping centre in Hurstville – an alarm was activated as part of testing.

Police responded as a result of the alarm, however, no evacuations took place.

There is no threat to the public.

We understand an AI-generated image of armed police inside a shopping centre has since been circulating.

The public is urged to not share false images and only rely on official sources for accurate information.

@sequest01 I can't write what my initial response was, then again, maybe I should, nobody did totally inappropriate in a G timeslot like Agro!

NSW Health is advising people to continue to be alert for signs and symptoms of measles after being notified of two new cases. One case is a returned traveller from South-East Asia, where there are ongoing outbreaks of measles, and the other is an interstate traveller.

Don't let a cute face fool you – quolls can travel up to 6km a night in search of meat 🥩 Across the country, Australian quoll species have sadly declined due to agricultural and urban development.
