'Huge win for Australia': COVID-19 probe unanimously passes WHA

The World Health Assembly has unanimously approved a resolution calling for an independent probe into the COVID-19 pandemic which is a "huge win for Australia and accountability for China," according to Sky News host Paul Murray.

The resolution, authored by the European Union, called for an independent investigation into the World Health Organisation's response and the pandemic which followed.

The motion aims to identify the source of the virus and the route of its introduction into the human population.

"China will be held to a standard that any other country in the world should be," Mr Murray said.

Who (not the WHO just to be clear) will be in charge of the "independent" inquiry ???? EU, UN, WHO or some other This is a very important question that was not answered in this report.

Australia did an amazing job. Loved the way it stood against a bully.
I think I will remember this for long time.

I hope every country inn this world will learn from Australia to never ever bow to CCP.... In the end it is our country's sovereignty and independent decision that will matter the most.... Every country should be cautious enough to not become a Neo-colonials of China (like pakistan)....

If I were the 63 countries, I would insist on a new panel of investigators - establish a new health organization. If you let WHO or the UN do the probe you might as well just stay home. 🤷‍♂️

Now that China has cleaned up all the evidence and they've collaborated with WHA as to what the final story will be. Got it! This is like an inmate investigating a fellow inmate!!!
