‘Shocking revelations’ on gain-of-function research ‘raise questions’ about CSIRO

Greg Hunt “is right” to order a review into gain-of-function research in Australia after the “shocking revelations” about CSIRO and Australian universities, according to the IPA’s Evan Mulholland.

It comes after it was revealed CSIRO and Australian universities have participated in at least ten joint projects with the Wuhan Institute of virology over the last decade.

Sharri Markson also revealed CSIRO researchers have previously undertaken research on live bats with the Wuhan institute.

Mr Mulholland said the revelations “raise questions” about the trustworthiness of institutions like CSIRO.

“But also, we’ve seen so many of our – particularly our media commentariat – dismiss a lot of the journalism that Sharri has done, but it has been incredible to see what she’s uncovered,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
