Australian Senate finally acknowledges need for inquiry into excess deaths
Persistence paid off yesterday for Senator Ralph Babet, of the United Australia Party, as the Senate voted in favour of his fourth motion calling for further inquiry into the causes of Australia’s excess deaths.
The Australian Senate previously voted against three similar motions put forward by Senator Babet over the past year.
While yesterday’s motion calling for agreement that there is “a need for further inquiry” into the causes of Australia’s excess mortality is more symbolic than practical in its outcome,
Senator Babet says that this is an important step in the right direction.
