Absolutely Disgusting Down Under
The Australian Government is trying to ignore a petition that was signed by 55,697 Australians requesting a vote on the amendments to the IHR, but they conveniently neglected to give the real reason.
Please watch this video from 5 months ago…
WHY HAS THIS PETITION BEEN IGNORED!
The petition mentioned in the video above is no longer open for signatures.
Australia’s Joint Standing Committee On Treaties (JSCOT), Minister of Health Mark Butler, the Department of Health and Aged Care, and the Secretariat of the Petitions Committee have attempted to ignore the 55,697 Australians who signed a petition requesting a Parliamentary vote regarding the amendments to the International Health Regulations that were adopted on May 27, 2022 and should be rejected before December 1, 2023.
Please take the time to REALLY read this article.
You will learn that the Australian Parliament is completely impotent and has no power to vote to ratify or reject the amendments to the International Health Regulations.
You will also learn why the Australian Parliament will NEVER get an opportunity to vote to ratify or reject the proposed “Pandemic Agreement.”
FOR NEARLY 18 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO PAY ATTENTION AND COMPREHEND WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.
Here is the petition that was signed by 55,697 Australians:

Here is the Australian government’s absolutely pathetic response:

If you have written to your Member of Parliament in Australia, you may have received a reply that was something like this…
The Australian Government is actively engaging in negotiations on the new instrument to ensure Australia’s interests are preserved and our priorities advanced. This will include extensive consultation across government, including states and territories, as well as stakeholders and the public. Any instrument that is negotiated will be subject to parliamentary scrutiny and consideration by the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties (JSCOT). JSCOT undertakes further consultation on proposed treaties by inviting submissions from stakeholders and members of the public.
When the Australian Government commits to an international treaty, it takes on an obligation to incorporate the treaty into Australian law.
The Executive branch of the Australian government has the sole authority to enter into international treaties, conventions, agreements or amendments to exiting WHO regulations.
NOT PARLIAMENT!!!!!
The Australian Parliament DOES NOT have the authority to ratify or reject the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations, nor does it have the authority to ratify or reject the proposed “Pandemic Agreement.”
Voting to ratify or reject a treaty, convention, agreement or amendments to existing WHO regulations is absolutely NOT the same as voting to enact legislation to implement a treaty, agreement, convention or amendments that has already been agreed to by the executive branch of government.
The Australian Parliament will NOT vote to ratify or reject these agreements.
The people of Australia must understand that the executive branch of government has the sole authority to enter into treaties, conventions, agreements or amendments to existing WHO regulations.

Australia was NOT a party to the International Health Regulations prior to 2005.
The Australian Parliament did NOT vote to ratify the amendments to the International Health Regulations in 2005.
The International Health Regulations entered into force because the Australian government failed to reject them.

Member of Parliament Andrew Wallace responded to an inquiry with the following email:
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns.
Australia works closely with the global health community, including the World Health Organization (WHO), to improve health and wellbeing for all people worldwide. Working with other international bodies is an important part of our pandemic preparedness and helps protect us from future diseases which may affect the Australian community.
The Covid-19 pandemic has prompted the WHO to start negotiating a new international law instrument to deal with pandemic preparedness and responses. The negotiations are expected to take some time – the outcomes of negotiating rounds will not be considered by the World Health Assembly until 2024.
Importantly, new international agreements and changes to existing international law instruments (like the International Health Regulations) will not automatically change Australian laws. Only the Australian Parliament can change Australian laws. Once the new instrument has been finalised, Australia will make a decision on whether to agree to it. Before the treaty can enter into force, it will be scrutinised by the Australian Parliament and must be ratified through Australian legislation.
I can assure you that the Coalition will be giving serious attention to this treaty and any associated legislation, when the time comes. We will not be compromising Australia’s interests or sovereignty.
Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I trust this information has been of assistance.
Kind Regards,
Andrew.

Member of Parliament Anika Wells responded to an inquiry with the following email:
Dear R*****,
The discussion being held in Geneva *will not* give the World Health Organisation power or control over how Australia handles possible future health pandemics. The treaty being discussed provides recommendations on how the global community shares data and coordinates individual management of any future health pandemics so sovereign nations are better prepared in the future.
Kind Regards,
Anika Wells MP
Dear S***,
The WHO is looking how to strengthen the international community’s efforts towards future pandemics. It will provide an opportunity to strengthen global health systems, disease surveillance, and enhance equity in pandemic response.
The Australian Government is dedicated to strengthening national and global pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.
The Australian Government is actively engaging in negotiations on the new instrument to ensure Australia’s interests are preserved and our priorities advanced. This will include extensive consultation across government, including states and territories, as well as stakeholders and the public. Any instrument that is negotiated will be subject to parliamentary scrutiny and consideration by the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties (JSCOT). JSCOT undertakes further consultation on proposed treaties by inviting submissions from stakeholders and members of the public.
The WHO is, and remains, a Member State-led organisation. It has no legal authority to force countries to accept any of its recommendations. Under international law, Member States retain sovereignty regarding their health policies. The proposed pandemic agreement and amendments to the IHR will not override Australia’s constitution.When the Australian Government commits to an international human rights treaty, it takes on an obligation to incorporate the treaty into Australian law. This does not happen automatically. A bill – a proposed law – that puts the international agreement into action needs to be passed by the Australian Parliament. If agreed to, the bill becomes Australian statute law.
Kind Regards,
Sameer

From: Senator Larissa Waters <senator@larissawaters.com.au>
Date: 1 February 2023 at 11:54:21 am AEST

Subject: WHO IHR Changes (Case Ref: LW40207)Dear R******,
Thank you for reaching out to Senator Waters regarding the World Health Assembly’s amendments to the International Health Regulations. It is important to be aware and informed of the decisions that are made by the multilateral organisations that our country participates in and their potential impacts.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will continue to seriously consider your concerns as we monitor the Australian Government’s engagement with this process.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted a lack of preparedness by the Australian Government to adequately respond to a global pandemic. The Australian Greens want to increase Australia’s ability to be ready for future pandemics; including the establishment of a National Centre for Disease Control with $246 million of funding to lead a unified, apolitical health approach across the entire country. This would ensure Australia can have a stronger response in the future.
The pandemic also highlighted global inequalities, particularly inequality in accessing vaccinations. The Australian Greens see that the WHO has a responsibility and is best equipped to ensure that global inequalities are not exacerbated throughout health crises.
It is through this lens, that the Australian Greens supported the WHO Assembly’s decision to support a treaty.
The WHO consulted with United Nations system bodies, non-state actors, and other relevant stakeholders and established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) which represents governments from across the world. This body will draft and negotiate a WHO convention, agreement, or another international instrument to ensure the global community has a plan for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.
Concerning the legally binding conventions made under the INB, as with all international instruments, governments themselves will determine actions under the accord while considering their national laws and regulations. This will mean that Australia will be able to decide its actions.
Senator Steele-John, as Australian Greens spokesperson for Health, will ensure that as the Australian Government deliberates on INB negotiation the interests of Australians including their privacy and health, are prioritised.
Thank you again for reaching out to the Australian Greens and for your advocacy on this matter.

Member of Parliament Mark Butler (South Australia - Labor Party) responded to an inquiry with the following email WHICH IS FUNDAMENTALLY IDENTICAL TO THE EMAIL THAT WAS SENT BY MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT GED KEARNEY (Victoria - Labor Party):
Thank you for your correspondence to the Hon Mark Butler MP, Minister for Health and Aged Care.
The WHO is, and remains, a Member State-led organisation. It has no legal authority to force countries to accept any of its recommendations. Under international law, Member States retain sovereignty regarding their health policies. The proposed pandemic agreement and amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) will not override Australia’s constitution.
The Australian Government is dedicated to strengthening national and global pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. To achieve this, two major reforms are being considered: the development of a new international instrument, such as a treaty; and a process to strengthen the implementation of the IHR.
The intent of the new instrument is to strengthen the international community’s efforts towards future pandemics. The new instrument provides an opportunity to strengthen global health systems, disease surveillance, and enhance equity in pandemic response.
The Australian Government is actively engaging in negotiations on the new instrument to ensure Australia’s interests are preserved and our priorities advanced. This will include extensive consultation across government, including states and territories, as well as stakeholders and the public. Any instrument that is negotiated will be subject to parliamentary scrutiny and consideration by the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties (JSCOT). JSCOT undertakes further consultation on proposed treaties by inviting submissions from stakeholders and members of the public.
For updates on Australia’s involvement with the new instrument and the IHR amendment process please refer to: Strengthening global health and international pandemic response | Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/strengthening-global-health-and-international-pandemic-response

Member of Parliament Rebekha Sharkie’s staff member responded to an inquiry with the following email that replied to news from last year, not to the current proposals:
Dear B******,
Rebekha Sharkie MP has asked me as her advisor to thank you for your email and to respond on her behalf during this busy time.
Rebekha is aware of the Australian Government’s work with the global community and the World Health Organisation (WHO) to improve pandemic prevention, preparedness and response - see: World Health Assembly agrees to launch process to develop historic global accord on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (who.int). This article by the Parliamentary Library of the Australian Parliament may also be of interest: Pandemics and WHO Reform – Parliament of Australia (aph.gov.au).
In principle, Rebekha does not support the ceding by the Australian Government of its decision-making powers to other bodies, however this is different to the Australian Government taking part in global engagement on the process.
Based on a number of reputable sources it is not clear that the WHO is working on a treaty to strip nations of their sovereignty. As a recent article by Reuters states:
Professor Sara Davies, a global health governance expert at Griffith University, Australia (here), told Reuters that the WHO would have “no capacity” to force member states to comply with public health measures, even if a treaty is eventually agreed upon.
She said in the event of member states opting into a future pandemic treaty, “they will adopt legislation to implement the treaty at the state level, which, for most countries, will require parliamentary proceedings.”
The WHO spokesperson said there are 194 member states of the WHO that make “sovereign decisions”, and it is “the WHO’s role to support these countries in taking actions to protect and promote their citizens’ health.”
“As with all international instruments, any accord, if and when agreed, would be determined by governments themselves, who would take any action while considering their own national laws and regulations.”
Further sources which address these concerns include: ‘WHO Has No Authority to Dictate U.S. Health Policy’ - FactCheck.org; Claims of a WHO globalist takeover are out of this world - Australian Associated Press (aap.com.au) which states that ‘…experts told AAP FactCheck the WHO does not have the power to override the decision-making authority of national governments and the proposed amendments would not alter this. They say the amendments are aimed at detecting disease outbreaks earlier and preventing states from withholding information from the WHO’; World Health Assembly clouded by pandemic treaty backlash - The Washington Post states that ‘Even if the text for a treaty on pandemic preparedness is reached, it would have to be signed, ratified and enforced by the member states themselves’; PolitiFact | No, the US is not backing a WHO takeover of national health policies.
The Australian Department of Health (see Strengthening global health and international pandemic response | Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care) advises that its goals and priorities are to strengthen the international community’s efforts towards future pandemic prevention, preparedness and response and allowing the pursuit of international health priorities while protecting domestic interests and sovereign rights, to protect our community against the threat of future pandemics. It also confirms that only the Parliament can change Australia’s laws.
At this stage we are not aware of any legislation planned to be brought into the Federal Parliament that would have the effect of diminishing our Federal or State Governments’ ability to determine an appropriate Australian response to any future pandemic. Please be assured that Rebekha will continue to monitor this situation as your local representative and will carefully consider any legislation brought before the Parliament to this effect, however Rebekha cannot commit a position on legislation which does not exist/she has not seen.
With thanks for sharing your views with Rebekha, and kind regards,

Senator Kerrynne Liddle responded to an inquiry with the following email:
The Covid-19 pandemic has prompted the WHO to start negotiating a new international law instrument to deal with pandemic preparedness and responses. The negotiations are expected to take some time – the outcomes of negotiating rounds will not be considered by the World Health Assembly until 2024.
Importantly, new international agreements and changes to existing international law instruments (like the International Health Regulations) will not automatically change Australian laws. Only the Australian Parliament can change Australian laws. Once the new instrument has been finalised, Australia will make a decision on whether to agree to it. Before the treaty can enter into force, it will be scrutinised by the Australian Parliament and must be ratified through Australian legislation.
The Coalition will be giving serious attention to this treaty and any associated legislation, when the time comes. We will not be compromising Australia’s interests or sovereignty.
Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I trust this information has been of assistance.

Dear G*** ******
Thank you for reaching out to Senator Barbara Pocock regarding the World Health Assembly’s amendments to the International Health Regulations. As an Electorate Officer, I am replying on Senator Pocock’s behalf.
It is important to be aware and informed of the decisions that are made by the multilateral organisations that our country participates in and their potential impacts.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will continue to seriously consider your concerns as we monitor the Australian Government’s engagement with this process.
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted a lack of preparedness by the Australian Government to adequately respond to a global pandemic. The Australian Greens want to increase Australia’s ability to be ready for future pandemics; including the establishment of a National Centre for Disease Control with $246 million of funding to lead a unified, apolitical health approach across the entire country. This would ensure Australia can have a stronger response in the future.
The pandemic also highlighted global inequalities, particularly inequality in accessing vaccinations. The Australian Greens see that the WHO has a responsibility and is best equipped to ensure that global inequalities are not exacerbated throughout health crises.
It is through this lens, that the Australian Greens supported the WHO Assembly’s decision to support a treaty.
The WHO consulted with United Nations system bodies, non-state actors, and other relevant stakeholders and established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) which represents governments from across the world. This body will draft and negotiate a WHO convention, agreement, or another international instrument to ensure the global community has a plan for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.
Concerning the legally binding conventions made under the INB, as with all international instruments, governments themselves will determine actions under the accord while considering their national laws and regulations. This will mean that Australia will be able to decide its actions.
Senator Steele-John, as Australian Greens spokesperson for Health, will ensure that as the Australian Government deliberates on INB negotiation the interests of Australians including their privacy and health, are prioritised.
Thank you again for reaching out to the Australian Greens and for your advocacy on this matter.

You have been working SO hard! People will have to revolt or prepare to die. We all witnessed the governments of the world bend over and allow this evil group of powerful individuals access to killing it's citizens. Why would they stand up now? It's gotta come from the people IN MASS. Thank-you for not giving up!
Welcome to the real world down under!
Legal eagles and others have tried in vain for years, to alert the public to the real and present danger, of abuse of power leading to a slide into tyranny in OZ.
I am not aware of a fully informed, fully committed politician, still in the house.
No amount of effort has been rewarding.
There is still always hope.
