Do you have a link for this news as your website does not appear to carry any further information? Your list of "latest swine flu news" has no details not does the tab link to the latest indicate anything. More information would be helpful.

Swine Flu Sample Resistant to Antiviral Oseltamivir
30 June 2009
The National Influenza Centre of Denmark at Statens Serum Institut has reported to the World Health Organisation (WHO) the identification of an isolate of swine flu (H1N1v) resistant to the antiviral oseltamivir.
Following testing in Denmark, resistance was also confirmed by the WHO Collaborating Centre at the Medical Research Council (MRC) National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in the UK.
The virus remained susceptible to the antiviral zanamivir....

Is this what you are referring to?
Moreover the Government website says "There is no sign that the virus is becoming more severe or developing resistance to antivirals"
