Fauci in contact with Sydney Uni & they won't release details - Senate Estimates 23.05.23

At the last set of estimates I asked ASIO about the involvement of Australian Scientists and Universities in gain of function research and in particular why did Ed Holmes try to cover up the origins of Coronavirus on the instructions of Anthony Fauci.

It is worth noting that based on a prior FOI from my colleague Senator Matthew Canavan there are 17 universities involved in gain of function research in Australia.

Despite being funded by the Federal government, the Federal government doesn’t want to maintain any oversight or risk management of potential lab leaks.

I have written to the Health Minister asking that the Federal government takes the risk of gain of function research much more seriously.
