The world knows China ‘ruined the world economy’

Former Labor MP Michael Danby says the Morrison government has “led the way since we repudiated the extradition treaty with China” and is now doing the right thing by pushing for an independent COVID-19 inquiry.

Australian government sources believe China will not oppose a resolution on an independent investigation into the origins of the coronavirus ahead of a meeting of the World Health Assembly on Tuesday.

Over 100 nations have endorsed an EU motion that calls for a systemic review into the causes and handling of the COVID-19 crisis.
