Overview
- The White House announced new tariffs on Australian exports on Friday after President Donald Trump said Australia, Russia and China had not done enough to address modern slavery.
- Officials and exporters warn the duties could hit shipments and damage Australia’s trade standing with the United States and other markets.
- Queensland authorities put the state on high alert after a dead petrel found on Moreton Island returned a suspected positive result for H5 bird flu and final laboratory testing is under way.
- Queensland Police say detectives now have a potential major breakthrough in the 1997 Bowen murder of 29‑year‑old mother Dianne Angwin and are actively pursuing new lines of inquiry.
- Key developments to watch are the confirmatory H5 test results, government or industry responses to the U.S. tariffs, and any police updates that could turn the cold‑case lead into charges or court action.
