A message circulated online on June 28th, 2024, falsely claimed that Australia was set to enforce food rationing and lockdown due to a bird flu outbreak, prohibiting the purchase of eggs and meat. While Australia has been dealing with avian influenza outbreaks in poultry farms since late May, leading to limited egg supplies, the claim originated from the fake news site 'The People’s Voice' and has no evidence supporting the government's implementation of food bans or rationing. The misinformation is inconsistent with the actual situation.
