New South Wales being threatened by a mouse plague

Vast tracts of land in Australia’s New South Wales state are being threatened by a mouse plague.

One family’s house burned down after rodents chewed electrical wires.

Millions of rodents have infested the agricultural plains across the state, but it’s just guesswork, as the state government describes this as “absolutely unprecedented.”

The plague is a cruel blow to farmer in Australia’s most populous state who have been battered by wildfires, floods, and the pandemic in recent years.
