Australia should not 'walk away' from WHO | Sky News AustraliaDeputy Labor leader Richard Marles has rejected calls for Australia to “walk away” from the World Health Organisation, telling Sky News the decision for the US to suspend funding is “regrettable”. \n\nUS President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced he would be pulling his government’s funding from the WHO, following through on his threat to pull away from the UN body over accusations it mishandled the coronavirus pandemic. \n\nThere have been growing calls for Australia to follow suit, with Liberal MP Dave Sharma telling Sky News any federal government funding to WHO should be contingent on future reforms. \n\nMr Marles conceded “there’s a conversation” to be had about the health body’s reform but insisted Australia should not “abandon” it completely. \n\n'We should be raising whatever issues we have from inside the organisation. We should not be abandoning the World Health Organisation,” he said. \n\n'With everything that's going on at the moment, the idea that we would be walking away from the globe's multilateral response to health issues, I think makes no sense at all.\n\n'There's a conversation that can be had about how the World Health Organisation can be reformed but at the end of the day, we should not be walking away from it.'

WHO must 'reform' to ensure Australia's ongoing funding | Sky News AustraliaLiberal MP Dave Sharma says Australia’s continued funding of the World Health Organisation should only occur on the condition of “necessary reforms”. \n\nUS President Donald Trump on Wednesday halted his nation’s funding of the World Health Organisation, accusing the UN body of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic. \n\nMr Sharma told Sky News that Australia, a significant donor to WHO, would have “more to say” on the institution’s response to the crisis. \n\n'This reckoning has been coming for some time. I think a lot of countries, Australia included, have been less than impressed with the WHO’s performance,” the Liberal MP said. \n\nMr Sharma said it was “pretty obvious” countries like South Korea, Japan and the US will band together with Australia to demand “significant reforms to how the WHO operates”. \n\n'I think we should make sure we condition our future funding on necessary reforms,” he said. \n\n'We will need to settle on those reforms with a group of other countries, like-minded countries as well, but this is generally how we drive change in the international system... we make our continued contributions, continued support for the international organisations, contingent upon reforms that must be done.'
