Australia’s Covid inquiry finds trust eroded by ‘heavy-handed’ measures, calls for CDC and new ‘pandemic’ strategy

Australia Covid inquiry

A comprehensive inquiry into Australia’s Covid-19 response concluded that public trust was significantly “eroded” by what it described as “heavy-handed” measures and vaccine mandates, which the public may not accept in future pandemics.

Health Minister Mark Butler acknowledged the report as “thorough and measured,” supporting recommendations to rebuild public trust and to emphasise transparency.

The report, authored by “experts” including former NSW Health director Robyn Kruk and epidemiologist Catherine Bennett, criticised the government’s failure to explain the reasoning behind many restrictions, which, it found, led to the perception that the government didn’t trust the public to understand the complexities of pandemic guidance.

With vaccination rates plummeting across several diseases, including Covid-19, the report warned of potential “co-occurring outbreaks” that could overwhelm the healthcare system.

To counter this, it advised immediate action, recommending a “national strategy” to address reduced Covid vaccination rates and efforts to restore early childhood jabs.

The government also plans to establish an Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC) with $251.7 million in funding, which will officially open in January 2026.

Butler said he was confident the CDC would bolster Australia’s “future preparedness”, stressing the importance of having a “high-level playbook” for “upcoming pandemics” and preparing for risks like so-called “Avian flu”.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton slammed the report as a “political hit job” meant to divert attention from other issues facing the Prime Minister.

He hinted at recent controversies surrounding Prime Minister Albanese but committed to reviewing the recommendations, stating that the Coalition would support “sensible policies.”

The inquiry, launched by Anthony Albanese in 2023, controversially did not require state leaders to testify, focusing instead on federal-level responses.

  1. “………..which, it found, led to the perception that the government didn’t trust the public to understand the complexities of pandemic guidance.”
    BS! The public -at least vast parts of it-, here as there, didn’t trust the government.
    And We The People still don’t do.
    And there is many more of us now!
    The (@#%$ who betrayed us will pay a heavy price by havingg no credibility anymore!!!
    YOU lot may coat yourselves with de-mock-ratic elections. We The People will have our say.
    And YOU lot have better made peace with the creator.
    TRAITORS to HUMANITY!!!

  2. I envisage we will be seeing similar outcomes in the NZ Commission of Inquiry for Covid (phase 1).
    Public trust has “eroded” as everyone now knows someone who was adversely impacted through receipt of vaccine. This will inevitably filter through to the entire vaccine programme and the more the facts are swept under the mat, the higher the level of resistance for everything vaccine
    The narrative’s of safe and effective and podium of truth have diminished public confidence. The lack of transparent reporting of adverse reactions, the Medical Council statement limiting Medical Professionals discussions with patients and the lack of proper informed consent will eventually come back to bite.
    I would be surprised if New Zealand could find the expertise to create a CDC but this will make little to no difference in the public perception. Almost every individual who made the rules and gave their advice has moved on from their roles, clearly not wanting to face the music. So too, the public have turned away on the premise of “no confidence”.

    • 100%.

      We all know that the NZ government and their corrupt MSM will never ever admit to the obvious widespread ‘vaccine’ deaths and injuries.

      The damages claims will simply bankrupt the entire country.

      This medical malfeasance catastrophe will never ever be investigated or acknowledged unfortunately.

  3. “Well it looks like we f*cked up with our heavy handed government bullying, no one is taking the vaccines anymore. Quick, let’s spend hundreds of millions creating another corrupt government tentacle to bully them HARDER next time, surely that’ll work 👍”

    I used to think we’re living in 1984, but it turns out it’s actually Road Runner.

    I don’t care whether they go harder or easier, whether they try to “inform” or furiously censor, whether they threaten us with fines of offer a free BJ with every jab. I’m never going to trust them ever again, and I’m sure as sh*t not injecting hazardous pharma concoctions into my veins for their profit.

    Meep meep! 🪿

    • Exactly. I won’t ever take another vaccine, get a mammogram, a smear or anything. If I get cancer I won’t be taking chemo either. God has a plan for me and I will accept that.

      I don’t trust our government, our health system or any bureaucrats and will never make the mistake ever again of thinking that they care about me EVER again.

      • Some countries have actually banned mammograms quite recently (Switzerland?) because they found that they can actually increase the chance of breast cancer: Squashing breast tissue between two metal plates can damage delicate glands in the breast that can then develop tumors, and if that isn’t enough, dosing a breast with radiation could get you. And from memory here, but there was a correlation between breast cancer and women who had had mammograms about 5 years before and that is what caused the ban.

        I read a while ago and I cannot remember the name, but it was a highly qualified recently retired surgeon that said, “Unless you think you are dying, do not go to a doctor or hospital.”

    • Ah yep. Government mandated injections ‘for my health’.

      Hmmmmm, let’s just think about that for approximately one second.

      Nope. Not for me thanks.

    • Sadly Dan Andrews is now sitting on a dessert island somewhere counting his ill-gotten gains.

      On the upside, nobody will ever forgive or forget.

      Dictator Dan now has a permanent target glued to his peculiar oversized deformed forehead.

      ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’ as they say.

  4. How does he think setting up another authoritarian government department like the CDC will solve the public’s trust in government, these people have lost their moral compass. It’s a ass covering exercise because they can’t outrun the truth that has turned from a drip to a flood, let’s hope it sweeps them away.

    • What are the chances that the New Zealand Govt will suddenly decide they need to befriend Australia and join their newly established CDC ? A new set of issues on the horizon.

  5. So the vaccine mandates eroded public trust but lets win it back by advocating “more Covid jabs”, even thought its obvious to blind Freddy, the public don’t trust them or those touring them and not without good reason.

    What a pathetic farce but then that’s what Australia is these days. An openly authoritarian colony of the corporate USA, just like New Zealand. The best thing anyone could do in both nations, is leave and never come back.

  6. It appears many of these corrupt abusive authoritarian institutions are now trying to “rebuild trust”.

    Good luck with that.

    Oddly enough I take a very dim view of tyrants, psychopaths and narcissists.

  7. Upcoming pandemics?
    the Song remains the same
    In the meantime NZ signs up to compulsory vaccinations
    There is no need for vaccinations and there never was
    And we know all about so called experts

  8. Corporate state lying, while at the same time signing an even more draconian contract with the Zionist owned/controlled corporate NGO – WHO. Who loves ya baby!!

  9. How does that make you feel Aussies? You were too theek to understeend and they didn’t womansplain it enough. And now they’re going treat you like you’re really really theek.

    What an insult.

  10. There is only one way to restore public trust in government as regards the vaccines and that is “The Mark Plan”:

    (1) Governments obey the Nuremburg Protocol, specifically no coercion to take the vaccine in any domain – company (whether local or international) or pleasure (cinema, restaurant, theatre, nightclub, bar).
    (2) HCQ and IVM available from pharmacies without prescription – i.e. anybody can then buy HCQ or IVM: You might find IVM also cues other things like some forms of cancer.

    I donate this plan for free to the NZ government and hope that they implement it.
