14 radiated tortoises are in quarantine after being rescued from the illegal wildlife trade in Hong Kong. Four will remain at Perth while ten will be transferred to multiple zoos in Queensland: Endangered radiated tortoises rescued from wildlife traffickers in quarantine in Perth Zoo - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Looks like Rockhampton Zoo might be receiving some: Radiated tortoises haven?t won race to Rocky zoo?.yet | Rockhampton Morning Bulletin
 
Female Giraffe, Asali is currently in transit to Monarto. Perth will then receive a female from Queensland (Australia Zoo?) as a mate for Armani
Australia Zoo is the only one in Queensland with giraffes, so that's a fairly safe assumption.
 
According to Facebook, Perth is sending an African hunting dog to New Zealand (zoo not specified) and will be receiving some from Altina Wildlife Park to form a new breeding pack.

Jabiru96 misinterpreted what he read on Peth's Facebook page where it says:
"Another addition to our primate family! Two-year-old Emperor Tamarin ‘Eemmee’ has recently arrived at the Zoo and been paired with resident male ‘Javier’. Keepers have spotted them grooming and snuggling – stay tuned."

The zoo actually had two males and one female previously, so now they have 2.2.
