Australian intelligence knocks back US government's Wuhan lab virus claim

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday the Australian government did not have strong evidence linking the Wuhan lab to the virus.Senior members of the Morrison government are concerned the promotion of the theory is hampering efforts by Australia to pursue an independent coronavirus inquiry and its push to permanently end the sale of exotic wildlife in Chinese wet markets.

said the Trump administration was engaging in "unprecedented propaganda warfare" while trying to impede global efforts in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. "Some Australian media and political elites have lost their independent judgment of the country's overall interests and have adopted a US-led approach to smearing China over COVID-19," he told Beijing'sThere was also widespread concern within the government about Victorian Liberal senator Sarah Henderson's comments in News Corp papers on Monday that called for all virus research by foreign scientists in Australian laboratories to stop until a safety and national security...

🦠🦠🦠🇺🇸💀💀💀fake news

That’s because it’s wrong. Trump using it as political football

I am totally confused about where the virus came from. Lab or wet market?! 🤔

Because it is insane. A Trump conspiracy

Trump will threaten Scomo to toe his line...scomo will change his tune in due course.

I’ve never been a patriot, but, for the first time in my 55 years, I’ve been proud of my country’s leadership. The US can pursue their agenda, Forrest and Stokes can pursue theirs too but I’m glad the Government (bipartisan) have handled this situation nobly.

In other words, Australian Intelligence asking how to be as competent as US Intelligence.

Oh shut up fairfax!

Are they doctors? Has Australian intelligence ever run a field hospital? What do they know about virology? Who holds the degrees? I think they should listen to people who have won Nobel prizes and told us it came from a lab and is a GMO virus.

Australian intelligence..dopes , masterminds, or cover ups?

It might be worth checking the information in this. It's circumstantial, but makes some sense:

question, doubt, conspiracy-w/o an independent inquiry n smoking gun evidence, no one can make a conclusion We really need to figure out the origin, SARS-CoV in 2003, SARS-CoV-2 now, we surely don’t want the 3 in the future INNOCENT(?)CCP shd take the chance to clean its name

Fake news! How dare Australia agencies questioned evidence from US

Fact is. Ordinary citizens will probably never find out. Most people will go with the story they think is most plausible, influenced by their political views and socio/cultural bias and situation.

Wouldn't trust anything the US comes out with after WMD lies n 9/11 failure 👿👿👿

The White House is a mad house now. Australians, remember that USA have always stabbed us in our back in history. Like China, they're NOT the country we can trust.

Sugar Daddy gonna spank you naughty Aussies.

Good one them, Australia should not bow down, whether its the US or China its all the same. Australia for Australians

Shock horror. Mike Pompeo....what, he's lying?

Great. Now we’re wasting resources chasing after an American conspiracy theory. ScottMorrisonMP is this really the best use of taxpayers money at this time? auspol covid19

That's because it's a lie from Trump and his team, when they show the proof I will believe it.

Hope that's not just an acting. let's wait and see

I don’t think the virus come from the wet market because that is what CCP has been trying to convince people to believe.

Really? I call fakenews

is that because they didn’t get approval from Beijing?

It came from china.....laboratory, wet market....who gives a ****?!

So have the US intelligence agencies. It’s a fiction promoted by Trump.

CCP should be happy to hear that from Australian intelligence!

Well the US has proven Iraq and Saddam Hussein had W.M.D. yeah? Oh wait...

I couldn't believe my eyes, Australian intel questioned USA!! It is same MO Iraq Weapons of Mass Destruction, theme. Produce evidence. Can USA Leader focus on saving own citizens lives, instead of using Covid19 as political tools. Your citizens actually dying. No citizens No USA.

You mean beyond the fact they have pictures showing the lab was lying about its safety standards? It was paid to do the experiments but the lab is understaffed? Or the logical conclusion its the only place that makes sense? or just this

Shame of you!

I thought it was 5G tower nanobots. It's so hard to keep up with all the conspiracy theories. Stunning that one of the conspiracy theories is coming directly out of the White House! That's how far the institution has fallen.

Australia will not be Trump's mouth piece. We need to make that clear to both the USA & the PRC. However Australia needs to stand up for what we believe in we must rely on proper evidence & intelligence & we as a nation assume no guilt until that evidence is undeniable.

SMH have Chinese overlords to protect? Fck China and it's Australian propaganda media wing.

'Australian intelligence' is an oxymoron when applied to agencies.

After Chinese official threaten Australia products market in China?

Good play on words ‘questioned’ . Of course they are investigating the communist land

When evidence is manipulated to fit the designated political dogma - you get perverse outcomes.

‘... trumpeted...” Nice one’ but I bet it’s unintentional, nitwits.

Why Michael Waite went from overseeing Bill Gates' finances to establishing a Naracoorte newspaper - ABC NewsMichael Waite ran for US Congress and managed Bill Gates' investments. But helping establish a little Naracoorte newspaper could test all his skill. 👍❤️🇦🇺 Time for small businesses to take hold of Australia’s economy. Else too much power given to big corporations. If CEOs got greedy & powerful & being controlled by a country like China’s Regime, will put 🇦🇺 future generations into risky territory. I’m wanting to get into copy editing as my work. Does anyone know a small country newspaper who could do with a long distance volunteer? I need the experience.
