Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced an inquiry into Australia's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Foreign Minister Penny Wong made the announcement at the United Nations General Assembly in New York early this morning. "I've had the honour of signing the high seas biodiversity treaty to protect the world's oceans. And we've worked alongside Pacific partners to make this treaty a reality. It's about safeguarding the blue Pacific, the ocean we share for future generations. We're very proud to be a founding signatory along with our Pacific partners. To these four this treaty shows that the multilateral system is still delivering, notwithstanding some of the challenges.
Chair of the Inquiry, Professor Allan Fels, says price gouging will be specifically investigated in food and drink, energy and banking and insurance.
