We strongly support the sentiments in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this motion. Australia's priority is to suppress the virus and deliver the vaccine. As the member for Hughes said in a statement today:

This morning I had a meeting with the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister reinforced the importance of ensuring public confidence in the Government's vaccine strategy. I agreed to support the Government's vaccine rollout which has been endorsed by medical experts.

I have always sought to support the success of the nation's public health response during the pandemic.

I believe that the spread of misinformation can damage the success of our public health response during the pandemic.
