Aussies refer to their aquatic side-necked turtles as "tortoises." Terrestrial tortoises from the family Testudinidae are not native to Australia.

I was relieved when I clicked on the article, because judging by the headline alone, I thought they were releasing true tortoises in Perth, and that would be an introduction, not a reintroduction.
