Beginning on May 27, representatives of member states of the World Health Assembly, including Australia, will meet in Geneva to discuss the amendments to the International Health Regulations and the World Health Organisation’s International Instrument On Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response (aka the “Pandemic Treaty”).
If ratified, these instruments would grant the WHO greater authority regarding international pandemic responses and preparation, including obliging nations via international law to prevent the spread of “misinformation and disinformation” and to potentially speed up the development of “pandemic related products”.
Apparently, the “pandemic related products” (aka COVID vaccines) were not made speedily enough!
We know that the terms “misinformation” and “disinformation” have been used to demonise objectively true statements about COVID-19, such as the fact that its lethality was exaggerated, that lockdowns would not work, and about the effectiveness of “pandemic-related products” developed to “stop the spread”. Such terms are easily weaponised and how they are interpreted is critical.
Given what we experienced over the past few years, we should be exiting the WHO or at the least, decreasing, not increasing, the authority bestowed upon unelected global health bureaucrats and “experts”.
At the outset of the 2020 pandemic period, the WHO did not scrutinise China’s possible involvement in gain-of-function research in Wuhan, which may have triggered the pandemic.
The WHO also advocated for mask mandates and total lockdowns, both of which are nonsensical and arguably caused more harm than good to peoples’ health and wellbeing. What qualifies the WHO to be in control of pandemic responses anyway?
This week, I authored a letter to the Prime Minister urging him to walk away from the IHR amendments and the Pandemic Treaty. The letter was signed by thirteen fellow Parliamentarians, whom I thank for their support.

I then spoke about this critical meeting in the Senate and you can watch that speech here:
The Prime Minister can and must instruct Australia’s delegate to the World Health Assembly to reject the IHR amendments and the Pandemic Treaty.
