Super gonorrhoea has landed in Australia, infecting one person in Queensland and another in Western Australia -  just weeks after a British man contracted the bug which has proved resistant to most treatments.

A Queensland Health spokesman confirmed two cases of gonorrhoea, resistant to multiple antibiotics, were detected in the past month and authorities believe one of the cases was acquired in South-East Asia.

The arrival of the disease in Australia and the global resurgence of gonorrhoea has highlighted growing concerns about antibiotic overuse.
