Australia Is About to Experience a 'Bonanza' of Deadly Spiders, Experts Warn

A "bonanza" of deadly spiders was not exactly part of that request, and yet experts at the Australian Reptile Park strongly suspect that's what's coming. "We are issuing a message of warning to the public as recent wet weather conditions followed by hot days have created perfect conditions for funnel-web spiders to thrive," reads a video post on the park's Facebook page. It sounds terrifying, although, as the video's title "FUNNEL WEB SEASON IS HERE" suggests, it's not an entirely new experience for Sydney-siders. Australia is home to at least 40 species of funnel web-spider.

One of these is considered the most lethal spider to humans anywhere in the world; the incredibly venomous Atrax robustus is native to eastern Australia, and is known more colloquially as the Sydney funnel-web spider.

Last asylum seekers held in Papua New Guinea detention centre released

In August, PNG authorities arrested 52 men who had previously been detained on Manus Island on behalf of the Australian government after seeking asylum by boat. As of January this year, just 18 of the 52 men remained in the detention centre, after the others had been removed having agreed to return to their country of origin.

It’s beyond a joke, it’s beyond belief,” he told Guardian Australia. “I’m a prime minister for standards,” Morrison said at the time.
