Description

The common myna, once brought to Australia to control bugs, has turned into a major invasive pest—aggressive, nest-stealing, and now surging back in numbers despite years of community-led efforts. CIMAG, the group fighting this battle, saw success reducing mynas from third to twenty-fourth most common, but now faces a crisis: a waiting list for traps and stalled government action. Though officially declared a pest in 2021, the government won’t prioritize control unless native reserves are directly threatened—ignoring the fact these birds overrun backyards nationwide. Complicating matters further, there’s no consensus on humane removal methods, with CIMAG’s approach clashing with the RSPCA’s stance. The result? A clear problem with no clear solution.

episode Lindsay Clancy Trial and Postpartum Psychosis | Adelaide News artwork

Lindsay Clancy Trial and Postpartum Psychosis | Adelaide News

The trial of Lindsay Clancy is heating up as she faces charges for allegedly killing her three young children in January 2023. Prosecutors claim the acts were premeditated, citing her online searches that night, while her defense paints a harrowing picture of a woman consumed by postpartum psychosis and auditory hallucinations. Released from a mental health facility just days before the tragedy, Clancy’s case is exposing critical gaps in maternal mental health support and sparking national debate over the insanity defense. With a verdict that could send her to a psychiatric hospital or a life sentence, this trial may reshape how society responds to postpartum mental illness — and whether justice can be served when sanity is lost.

episode Kangaroo Island Goes Cat-Free | Adelaide News artwork

Kangaroo Island Goes Cat-Free | Adelaide News

Kangaroo Island is on a mission to become the world’s largest cat-free landmass, with a $4 million push to eradicate feral cats from the Dudley Peninsula by 2030—saving endangered native wildlife like the southern brown bandicoot, which hasn’t been seen there in 60 years. Backed by federal, state, and donor funding, the project uses cutting-edge tech including AI cameras, thermal drones, and remote traps, plus community reporting and a 3-km fence to keep cats out. Early results are promising: cat numbers are plummeting, and native species are rebounding—proof that coordinated conservation can make a real difference.

episode Birdwatchers Battle Bird Flu in SA | Adelaide News artwork

Birdwatchers Battle Bird Flu in SA | Adelaide News

South Australia’s birdwatchers are now frontline defenders against bird flu, thanks to a new volunteer network trained to spot H5 strain symptoms in wild birds—and safely report them. Backed by state government, conservation groups, and bird organizations, the Bird Observers Network has already recruited 60+ volunteers across cities, coasts, and Kangaroo Island, turning local expertise into a powerful early-warning system. With five confirmed cases in seabirds, officials urge the public to avoid contact with sick or dead birds, instead documenting sightings and using the dedicated birdflu.sa.gov.au site or 24-hour hotline to report concerns—blending passion for birds with science to protect native wildlife.
