But..but...but...I thought Ivermectin was useless "horse worming" medicine. Liars., page-11

Not sure Monash can be a reliable source of info after they came out against ivermectin use. They are doing the study as the pandemic is ending. The so called vaccine was rushed to market because of the urgency, with known serious side effects. Remdesivir was rushed to market with known serious side effects IVM has been on the market for decades, is safer than panadol, and IVM use by doctors was banned.
So it was the National COVID-19 clinical evidence task force who advised the govt to prevent the use of IVM by doctors? There are serious ethical issues with clinical trials that dose volunteers with placebo, then wait for them to die to prove a sometimes slight survival advantage. The brave trial patients know what they are signing up for. To prevent the whole nation from access to a potential effective, safe, lifesaving treatment, while they run a tiny mostly irrelevant underpowered trial, which is too late, is arrogant at best IMO. How many Australians died because there was no big profit to be made from IVM? A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT.
[this review was guided by a protocol that was initially written using Cochrane's rapid review template and subsequently expanded to a full protocol for a comprehensive review.]
[Meta-analysis of 15 trials found that ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no ivermectin (average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.19–0.73; n = 2438; I2 = 49%; moderate-certainty evidence)]
[Conclusions: Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.]
