For the first time in four decades the World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared a global flu pandemic.
One of the factors affecting its decision was the big increase in the number of swine flu cases in Australia.
There are now nearly 30,000 cases of swine flu worldwide and 141 people have died from the virus.
In the past week the number of cases in Australia has tripled to over 1,300.
