Foreign Minister Marise Payne has called for an independent international review of the coronavirus pandemic.
Foreign Minister Marise Payne won't go as far as saying she doesn't trust China, but says her concern is at a"high point" regarding transparency over the outbreak of the coronavirus."I think the key to going forward in the context of these issues is transparency," she told ABC television's Insiders program on Sunday.
It should also look into the interaction with the World Health Organisation and the actions taken with international leaders. She believes relationships all around the world will change once the pandemic has passed, including that between Australia and its number one trading partner China, although she said she doesn't have a"crystal ball" to say to what extent.People in Australia must stay at least 1.5 metres away from others and gatherings are limited to two people unless you are with your family or household.
