Put Australian interest first, not the U.S.

Everything is a “JOKE” for China and its a mark of sins committed and information concealed by the China ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied ChinaMustExplain

Australia should have followed realDonaldTrump and suspended WHO funding until the world got answers. tedros Fauci gates corrupt to the core.

Hope CCP can realize that they can successfully manipulate Chinese people only because they controlled all the media and armed forces in China. Bullying other countries may not always work, especially to Australia.

Not wishing to be negative, but what will this achieve? We cant even stop virus transmissions in Age Care facilities. Even if you closed all lab, wet markets, stopped eating wild animals and pigs, viruses are part of nature to keep a population balance. Good luck. Recall WMD

Get on board the Scomo train as he departs Australia further away from Albo, Shorten, that bloke Wong, corrupt Unions and the green energy Hoax called Bandt.

137 countries can’t be ignored!! Well done ScottMorrisonMP and Australia 🇦🇺 👏👏👏👏👏 COVID

Coronavirus inquiry resolution adopted at World Health Assembly as China signs onBREAKING: A historic motion led by the European Union and Australia to establish an independent review of the coronavirus has passed the World Health Assembly. China embarrassed into endorsing an independent review but use trade sanctions as a response to its loss of face. WHO investigating China. This is a joke. Think about this: WHO is leading the investigation, China is supporting this. What result can you expect? Australia is a loser this time, was imposed tariffs and beef import ban to get this.

China signs on to World Health Assembly inquiry resolutionA historic motion led by the European Union and Australia to establish an independent review of the coronavirus has passed the World Health Assembly. We hope not useless.....😑 Really?The EU motion was going happen with or without Australia. As one of 100 odds co-sponsors, Australia hardly led but paid heavily for a pointless spat with China. Have the courage to reflect and learn grown-up diplomacy. If this does move things, nothing would ever! Letuscomehome scomoletuscomehome NickMcKim ScottMorrisonMP AlanTudgeMP dfat PeterDutton_MP

World Health Assembly adopts coronavirus inquiry motion | Sky News AustraliaWorld leaders have agreed to establish an inquiry into the COVID-19 response, after an historic vote at the World Health Assembly overnight. \n\nThe motion was agreed to by 130 member states of the World Health Organisation, including China which added its name to the resolution just before it was passed. \n\nThe review will aim to identify the source of the virus – how it transferred from animals to humans and also consider lessons learnt from the coordinated response. \n\nAustralia’s foreign and health ministers welcomed the result with a joint statement, saying “Australia has been clear and transparent in calling for an independent review into COVID-19”. \n\nMeanwhile, there are fears of further trade reprisals from China, after a fresh war of words between Canberra and Beijing. \n\nA Chinese embassy statement said any vindication Australia received from the success in securing a probe into the coronavirus was “nothing but a joke”. \n\nTrade Minister Simon Birmingham said Australia would not bow to China’s “cheap politicking” over the probe. \n\nAfter an 80 per cent tariff was imposed on Australian barley producers this week, there are fears growing tensions could financially impact other exports to China. \n\nImage: AP No doubt another white wash. '...will aim to identify the source of the virus – how it transferred from animals to humans..' Accepting assumptions on the source is probably not the best way to start investigating the source. May explain why China has signed on. Good, let’s hope it’s a legitimate one and not one simply conducted by the CCP’s accomplice, WHO ,per China’s “request.” Otherwise its effectively the same as the sole witness in a murder trial being the defendant.
