Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson has called for the federal government to “put on hold” scientific collaboration with China while an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus is conducted. Senator Henderson said there needs to be a comprehensive review of virological research between countries as the “risk has been identified as a possible way a pandemic can be triggered”.
While the Australian government has called for an international investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic and China’s handling of it, it has not gone the way of the US and severed scientific ties with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
SharriMarkson SenSHenderson BOYCOTT CHINESE PRODUCT UNTIL THEY COLLAPSE
Avery1776 SenSHenderson To begin with, there are no more liberals...only socialist/commies. That senstor would love a combat war with China...they all would!
SenSHenderson Stop scientific collaboration? During a pandemic? That doesn’t sound like the best course of action.
SenSHenderson Yes I think terminated all
SenSHenderson Shutting down important research into viruses, with zero evidence of wrongdoing is madness. SenSHenderson is just blowing the dog whistle while playing silly culture war games, and if scientific research is the victim, that's fine with the Senator. auspol2020 covidaus
SenSHenderson In actual fact, China is never going to incriminate itself. You would have to be ignorant to think that we don't have the answers to the questions we want to put to China. We do have an intelligence task force. What this means is that we are somewhat complicit in all this.
SenSHenderson There are hundreds of level 4 bio-labs around the world working on pathogens to weaponise The game of war has changed forever with the release of this weaponised pathogen
SenSHenderson Only to be a thorn in the side of Victoria's LABOR infrastructure building. Infrastructure that is greatly Needed after Years of Liberals Neglect. Creating jobs and building the economy.
SenSHenderson TERMINATED. Not 'put on hold'.
SenSHenderson I wonder who that really affects more?
SenSHenderson Very smart. It is time we starved China of scientific knowledge, technology developments, and international trade.
SenSHenderson Agreed. Wise JoshFrydenberg ScottMorrisonMP JuliaGillard TurnbullMalcolm AlboMP DanielAndrewsMP AlexanderDowner SenatorWong UN HonJulieBishop WHO
SenSHenderson like that chinese virologist in geelong

Money that is still yet to be paid to the employers. No subsidy has so far been repaid to employers. Nice try though. aclennell Don't believe mass media statistics.
