I will not have Australia misrepresented as not backing the TRIPS waiver, because that is not true. You are spreading misinformation in doing that. I will not have Australia misrepresented in relation to our contribution to the international vaccine effort, most particularly in our region, the Pacific and South-East Asia, which is our backyard. The contributions that we are making in those countries are changing lives and saving lives.
