Thanks for the update - I will add this to my notes!

You forgot to mention that Jane Halton was a key member of the Australian National COVID-19 Coordination Commission (NCCC) - another body that was appointed, NOT elected, this time by our then Prime Minister Scott Morrison (ScoMo). The NCCC played a key role in determining pandemic policy in this country, announced in a press release on 25 March 2020 (just a couple of days after that Sunday meeting of the "National Cabinet" that resulted in our entire country going into lockdown).

ScoMo was said to be one of the WEF "young leaders" - though he was neither young nor a leader. Nevertheless, he did manage to more or less single-handedly circumvent this country's established democratic process & hand over the reins to the likes of Jane Halton.

Ms Halton could be seen on Nine News from time to time, advocating things like vax mandates, and scolding anyone who was calling for a loosening of restrictions.

Anyhow, the point is that somehow, she seems to have avoided being coralled by party lines, and seems to be equally kowtowed to by both Labor and Libs.

It is worrisome to see that she is still going strong & having even more influence over Australian "health" policy.

As you say, in spite of appearances, this is by no means over - more likely, this is just the lull before the next wave of what is coming.
