Coalition of 62 countries backs joint Australian, EU push for independent inquiry into coronavirus outbreak - ABC News

But it does say the WHO should work with the World Organisation for Animal Health to conduct "scientific and collaborative field missions" and "identify the zoonotic source of the virus and the route of introduction to the human population, including the possible role of intermediate hosts".

In a statement, Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne said: "There is positive support for an independent review into the pandemic to help the world learn the lessons necessary to protect global health. This chart uses a logarithmic scale to highlight coronavirus growth rates. Read our explainer to understand what that means — and how COVID-19 cases are spreading around the world.

Meanwhile, US diplomats have been pressing for tougher language that specifically calls for a probe into how the virus started in the Chinese city of Wuhan.

Australians are full of themselves. This is EU proposal and has nothing to do with Australia’s push for an Iraq style inquiry.

Seeking a collaborative evidence base for pandemic responses now and for the future demonstrates global health leadership. It builds on our highly credible and internationally recognised health and medical research sector which has informed our own response to covid. auspol

Perhaps ask Chinese government to provide world with a copy of the investigation they have done into the origin of Covid19 . Would be a good beginning

Well this will upset the leftie journalists at the ABC, there has to be some kind of racism going on here, dig a bit deeper or better yet lets make up some fake analysis by a wacko at some obscure university....

Wicked. Now are they gonna buy our exports too?

I actually found the true from the replies...shame on this report...just can’t loose face right?

Wait a minute, I thought we need an independent inquiry because WHO’s investigation is not “trustworthy”? 😂 reading through the article, it says we are asking WHO to do it again? 😂 and U.S is not supporting this inquiry? This is just awkward …

No inquiry is just inquiry.

This EU led motion in line with WHO recommendations is likely to save Scomo’s face and ass, and China may be well on board as well. The US has not backed the motion maybe it still wants an Iraq MDW style investigation with the loyal pure silly Scomo.

📢The evidence has long been destroyed by the 'CCP anti-human terrorist organization'. According to the timeline of the 'CCP Virus Pandemic', it turns out that the 'CCP anti-human terrorist organization' has a premeditated and planned 'harm to everyone and the world.'

Then comes inquiry. Inquiry shows nothing. People claim it's fixed. Everyone starts looking for a fight. Tensions rise... Grow the fck up. Is a virus. Fight that, not each other. Recovery will take long enough without this BS

Even if the CCP has an inquiry into the origin of the virus the Australian relationship with the CCP needs some new boundaries after the dust settles. CCP need our water, food and minerals & other resources more than we need cheaply manufactured products.

It's great to see that Russia is on board. But where is the US? They came on strong and now hesitating.

Because every single country (including a great portion of the people of china) are f**king pissed at the CCP lying. They truly want to be a member of the international community and having their own gov fuck that prospect ups has been quite hard for Chinese producers.

Don't be surprised this coronavirus inquiry will not be supported by the US.

Ask them if they want to buy some barley

That's great but is it like they are right behind us, a long way behind us? Or are we all in this together?

'At this stage neither China nor the US have backed the motion. '

Goodluck!

The EU have been working on their own proposal, and with some backing from China itself? Why is it being reported that the world is backing Australia? Its wrong. The EU proposal is vastly different to what AU and US originally wanted.

I wonder if China is now going to stop imports from these 62 nations? The world is waking up to you China and your corrupt CCP.

Yeah lets get these bat eating chinks to cover some of these costs world wide.
