AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoBiosecurity crackdown: Australia’s Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water says it seized more than 100,000 live illegal exotic cockroaches from a commercial breeder in Bathurst, NSW—including Madagascar hissing and dubia species—worth about A$200,000. Officials warn the insects can spread disease and harm native wildlife and agriculture, and note the species can’t be legally imported, kept, bred or sold; the seized animals are set to be euthanised. Energy security angle: Malaysia’s finance minister says it’s strengthening supply resilience by diversifying energy sources, including coal imports from Indonesia plus new links to the US and Australia, to reduce dependence on any single supplier. Grid/critical infrastructure tech: Finland’s telecom firm Elisa has deployed undersea cable monitoring using distributed acoustic sensing, aiming to alert authorities to irregularities earlier and protect vital communications infrastructure.
