1. What research is the CSIRO undertaking in regard to using mosquitoes as a way to spread vectors? 2. Referring to this NASA energy diagram http://climateimages.homestead.com/nasa-2.jpg we see a claim that greenhouse gases (GHG) send 324 w/sqm downwards but there is only a total of 165 + 30 = 195 w/sqm going from the atmosphere and clouds upwards to Space. Does the CSIRO agree that the GHG molecules somehow “know” to radiate more downwards than upwards? How does it explain these figures in that NASA energy diagram? 3. The same diagram shows a total of 168 + 324 = 492 w/sqm coming out of the base of the atmosphere and into the surface, whereas the solar radiation that enters the atmosphere after some is reflected back to Space is only 342 – 77 = 265 w/sqm, so how is that 265 somehow increased to 492 w/sqm by the atmosphere as is implied? 4. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann Law calculator at https://coolgyan.org/calculators/stefanboltzmann-law-calculator and entering 1 for emissivity (because reflection by the surface has been deducted) and 168 w/sqm does the CSIRO agree that we get a temperature of about 233.3K (about -40C) for what the Solar radiation could achieve on its own? 5. Using the same calculator, does the CSIRO agree that 342 w/sqm is what would be emitted by a blackbody at about 278.7K (about 5.5C)? 6. Does the CSIRO agree that water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane each only radiate in a few frequencies whereas a blackbody radiates a full spectrum of frequencies? 7. Considering all questions above, is it likely that GHG spread out over the height of the troposphere would radiate as much to the surface as a blackbody at an altitude of only about 1.5Km where the average temperature would be about 278.7K? 8. A climatologist Dr Roy Spencer once admitted that the 324 back radiation figure was not a measurement but merely calculated so that all figures balance. Has the CSIRO any contrary information as to how it was either measured or calculated, noting the fact that it implies that the atmosphere generates energy? 9. Referring to the calculations in the note below the NASA diagram, does the CSIRO agree, using the Stefan-Boltzmann calculator, that the net 390 w/sqm is the (uniform) radiation from a blackbody that would achieve a temperature of about 288.0K namely just under 15C as the global mean surface temperature? 10. Can the CSIRO produce any documentation or experiments that confirm that the StefanBoltzmann Law can be used for the arithmetic sum of radiative fluxes from different sources, such as is implied it can be in the NASA diagram. Does it have any such proof that it can be used and give correct temperatures for such a sum of atmospheric and solar radiation less nonradiative surface cooling? 11. In light of responses to all the above, does the CSIRO agree that the NASA diagram does not represent reality and the surface temperature cannot be quantified with such radiation calculations as are implied (and no doubt used in computer models) by that NASA diagram? 12. In the 1870’s a physicist named Josef Loschmidt explained that gravity forms a temperature gradient in solids, liquids, and gases. Do you agree that Loschmidt was correct? 13. Climatologist Dr Roy Spencer once stated “that a column of air in the troposphere would have been isothermal but for the assumed greenhouse effect.” This is in accord with the “explanation” once appearing on the IPCC website that the solar radiation achieves a temperature of 255K at the “radiating altitude” and that GHG radiation then raises the surface temperature (from what it would have been if the troposphere were isothermal, namely 255K) by 33 degrees to 288K, this being the global mean surface temperature. That would mean that water vapour (the main GHG) does most of those 33 degrees and thus increases the magnitude of the temperature gradient. But it is well known that water vapour reduces the magnitude of the temperature gradient (AKA “lapse rate”) so how do scientists explain this contradiction? 14. It may be shown that the temperature gradient in all planetary tropospheres is a function of the quotient of the acceleration due to the planet’s gravity and the weighted mean specific heat of the gases. This is accurately the case for the planet Uranus where Voyager II made measurements. Yet the base of the 350Km high nominal troposphere of Uranus is estimated to be 320K – hotter than Earth’s mean surface temperature, even though the Solar radiation can achieve only about 53K at the top of that troposphere. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranus#Troposphere) There is no compelling evidence of net cooling of Uranus and there is no Solar radiation reaching the base of that troposphere and nor any solid surface there, so how do scientists explain the necessary heat input to support such a temperature? 15. Climate change theory appears to explain quite cogently that the “science” upon which it is assumed that carbon dioxide and methane could warm the planet is based on a false supposed application of the Second Law of Thermodynamics in that (as implied in climatology energy diagrams) it depends upon the false assumption that radiation from these gases in cool regions of the atmosphere could cause heat transfer into the warmer surface. Why does the CSIRO not believe in the second law of thermodynamics? 16. Albert Einstein in his 1917 paper on the Quantum Theory of Radiation states the radiation is so insignificant as compared with other heat transfers that it drops out. Does the CSIRO believe Albert Einstein is wrong? 17. Won’t convection naturally offset any insignificant impact of radiation as a result of the Second Law of Thermodynamics?

1.Is the National Blood Authority able to test for Covid antibodies found in stored samples from the second half of 2019? 2.Does the National Blood Authority keep blood samples from the second half of 2019? 3.How much would it cost for the blood bank to test for Covid antibodies from the period? 4.Professor Murphy said in estimates that there were no spike proteins in the blood. Yet Professor Skerrit said in an earlier round of estimates the spike proteins travel throughout the circulation. Given the confusion between two leaders in the Health Department what confidence can people have that there are absolutely no spike proteins in the blood when it is donated to the Red Cross? 5.What confidence can people have that there is absolutely no cationic lipids in the blood when it is donated to the Red Cross three days after receiving a Covid vaccine? It is noted that lipids were still increasing in the body organs of rats after two days. 6.What evidence/studies are there that the covid-19 ‘vaccine’ or part there-of, does not transfer from donor blood to the blood transfusion recipient via the transfusion and in the event it does, that there is no short- or long-term risks of any adverse events/ reactions related to the Covid-19 ‘vaccine’ to the recipient (which have been seen in thousands of ‘vaccinated’ individuals globally.) 7.Is the National Blood Authority familiar with the TGA non-clinical review and other studies that have shown that lipids and spike proteins stay in the body much longer than 3 days? If not, why are they confident there are no spike proteins in the blood 3 days after receiving a Covid vaccine? 8.What measures does the Red Cross/CSL take to ensure that all spike proteins and lipids from the Covid-19 vaccine are removed from the blood? 9.Can people elect to donate blood in advance to store for later use and if so, could the necessary steps please be outline?

Senator RENNICK: Did you track how many people are out of work because of the vaccine mandates? In your job numbers, are you tracking how many people are out of work because of vaccine mandates? Dr Gruen: We ask people a range of questions in the labour force survey. Again, I think it’s probably best to pass to Mr Jarvis. Mr Jarvis: We do track across a range of labour market measures people going in and out of employment. We ask questions that focus on a range of reasons, but we don’t ask questions that specifically go to that as a factor. Senator RENNICK: Do I ask you to do that? We have significant labour shortages in this country. I think it is important that people in the government find out at least how much willing but idle labour is sitting there because of those mandates. Is that something you can do? Dr Gruen: We can take that on notice.

Senator RENNICK: …I’d also like to raise the issue of the RBA’s management of Australia’s gold in London. Australia owns 80 tons of gold that’s held at the Bank of England. The RBA has disclosed that that 80 tons was refined in 2015 and onwards. They were never informed by the Bank of England until after that event had occurred. I’m curious to know what the AFP’s view is on the fact that the RBA wasn’t even aware that 80 tons of gold, which has a market value of $6 billion, isn’t being properly managed by an independent statutory authority. Mr Kershaw: I’ll take that on notice, noting that I don’t know if we have any remit on that. But we’ll come back to you.

1. How can Fair Work Australia morally justify the mandating of vaccines by employers which goes against the explicit statement in the immunisation handbook that people cannot be coerced into an taking a vaccine? 2. How can Fair Work Australia morally justify the dismissal of employees unable to get a second inoculation because they were injured by the first inoculation and received a medical exemption? 3. How can Fair Work Australia morally justify the dismissal of employees who because of prior anaphylactic reactions don’t want to take the vaccine? 4. If an employee is injured by vaccine forced upon them by a mandate can the employee sue the employer for damages? If not, why not? 5. Why does Fair Work Australia believe that employers are responsible for the transmission of an airborne virus? If it doesn’t think, that then why not legislate accordingly so that businesses (excluding hospitals and aged care centres) are not responsible for public health measures? 6. How are employers meant to trace the transmission of the virus to either their employees or customers? If it isn’t possible then why is Fair Work Australia allowing State Governments to impose rules that are impossible to apply or substantiate? 7. Is it fair and reasonable for an employee to be forced into taking a vaccine if the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission and doesn’t prevent hospitalisation and sickness? 8. If an employee is injured by the vaccine mandated by their employer can the employee claim compensation under Workcover? 9. I note that employers have been telling employees that they are not liable for vaccine injuries because the commonwealth government has indemnified them. Is this true?

1. Does ASIC require Gold dealers and custodians of gold to comply with the financial disclosure laws such as a product disclosure statement etc? 2. If not, why not? 3. Are gold dealers and custodians required to provide a unique identifier to every gold bar they claim to warehouse? 4. If not, why not? 5. Are dealers and custodians required to ensure investors in gold are allowed to see their gold holdings with the serial numbers? 6. If not, why not? 7. Does Gold meet the definition of a financial instrument under 763A of the Corporations Act given that it is used to manage financial risk (e.g. inflation)?

Senator RENNICK: Thank you. In order to get to the 43 per cent reduction by 2030, how many kilometres of transmission lines will need to be built? What will the cost of that be? Mr Dyer: I might consult. Ms Brunoro: We have to bear in mind that is a national target as well. The integrated system plan covers the eastern states. We can come back to you with some more analysis on that. Senator RENNICK: Didn’t you just legislate it? Hasn’t it been legislated now, the 43 per cent reduction by 2030? CHAIR: I think the answer, Senator Rennick, is that the transmission piece you are discussing is not the totality of the elements that will go to achieving the plan. Senator RENNICK: The reason I am asking is 2030 is only eight years away. My understanding is you have to get to 82 per cent renewables on the grid to get your 43 per cent reduction in CO2. Surely we must have a pretty clear plan and strategy in terms of how many transmission lines need to be built between now and 2030 to hook up enough renewables to get it into the grid, which is just eight years away. Ms Brunoro: Yes. We do. I’m happy to table some information about those key projects. Obviously, Marinus is one of them. There has already been an announcement on that. Senator RENNICK: How many kilometres of transmission lines will that involve? Ms Brunoro: Bear with me. I will have to add that up for you. I note that is a point in time estimate as well. Since the integrated system plan has come out, Queensland has already announced their energy security plan. They will be investing in significant transmission. I can give you a breakdown of the number of kilometres per the actual projects as it stands now and that are underway. We can add that up. Senator RENNICK: And that will get to 82 per cent renewables by 2030? Ms Brunoro: The projects we have in train do align with the projects that are in the integrated system plan, a step change scenario. That estimate from the Australian energy market operator is that it will deliver about 83 per cent renewables by 2030. So it is in line. Senator RENNICK: You can put a cost to that as well? Have we got an estimated cost of that? Ms Brunoro: We can pull out the estimated costs of those projects as they are going through the regulatory impact tests at the moment. Senator RENNICK: Sure. Ms Brunoro: And give a breakdown of them.

Senator RENNICK: That is fair enough. I am curious because the GenCost report is often used as the basis to say that renewables are cheaper. But there’s actually a lot of what I consider flawed assumptions in there, one of them being that you don’t need any more transmission lines until renewables hit 50 per cent of the grid and there’s no recycling costs taken into account. So that is a comment. You don’t need to respond to that. In terms of all the transmission lines that you need to get built between now and 2030 to get to 82 per cent of renewables, have you got approvals for all that from the various landholders? CHAIR: Senator Rennick, I wonder whether Ms Brunoro will take this on notice. There is a lot of detail in what you are asking. Senator RENNICK: Well, we’re in estimates. That is what it is all about—asking for the detail. CHAIR: But rather than her sitting there and adding everything up from her notes, would you be happy to take that further detail on notice? Senator RENNICK: What I would like to know is how far progressed you are in terms of getting the relevant and required approvals from both landholders and state governments and various other bodies—national parks or whatever it may have to be—in order to get those transmission lines built by 2030. Ms Brunoro: The short answer I will provide is that those projects are at different stages of development and approval out to 2030. Some of those that are slated to be delivered in the latter part of the decade will be going through the engagement and consultation processes at a later point in time. Clearly, some of those arrangements are going to change with respect to the various landholders when we get there. We can let you know which projects have had engagement with the community and which ones are to come.

Senator RENNICK: How much did that supercomputer cost? Dr Stone: The supercomputer? Senator RENNICK: Yes. How much did it cost? Dr Johnson: I can give you an exact number. We have a supercomputer that’s running as we speak. If you wish to wait a minute, I can get you the actual number. It’s of that order. Senator RENNICK: Right. Dr Johnson: Or, if you’d like an exact number, I can take it on notice. It’s around that— Senator RENNICK: I just find it interesting because everyone’s jumping up and down about your name change for 200 grand, and there’s a supercomputer that you bought for $40 million that homogenises data that I don’t think people are aware of at all. Dr Johnson: Yes. I’ll get back to you on that, but it’s of that order.

The first law of Thermodynamics state that energy can neither be created or destroyed. Applying that law to Climate change science, how is it that an increase in CO2 levels of 100 ppm in the atmosphere can increase the temperature by 1 degree? That would imply that every extra CO2 molecule has to heat up 10,000 other molecules by 1 degree would it not? (i.e. a million over a hundred molecules) . Assuming CO2 has a specific density of 1.53 in the atmosphere doesn’t this mean that a CO2 molecule would have a temperature of 10,000/1.53 of 6,536 degrees to heat up the surrounding 10,000 molecules by 1 degree which of course is impossible?

1. In 1996, when the Bureau converted to custom-made electronic probes for temperature recording, rather than averaging temperatures over one to five minutes as is standard practice around the world from such equipment, did the Bureau start recording one second extrema resulting in a non-standard method of measuring (spot readings) from non-standard equipment (custom-built probes) making it impossible to establish the equivalence of recent temperatures with historical data? 2. How did the Bureau take into account the change in thermometers from mercury/alcohol to platinum resistance thermometers when homogenising data? 3. Could the Bureau provide specifications for the platinum resistance thermometers? 4. Why did the Bureau manipulate thermometers at Goulburn and Thredbo by putting a limit on how low the temperature can go? 5. Could the Bureau explain why putting a downside limit on temperature recordings isn’t fraudulent? 6. Why should the Bureau be believed when it says there were the only two weather stations (Goulburn and Thredbo) out of 700 stations where downside limits were placed on thermometers? 7. Given these two stations were detected by external sources shouldn’t the entire network by audited by an external auditor on a regular basis to ensure that there has been no further tampering of thermometers by the Bureau? 8. In 2011, the new Australian Climate Observation Reference Network – Surface Air Temperatures (ACORN-SAT) system for calculating the national average temperature removed 57 stations from its calculations, replacing them with 36 on-average hotter stations. Can the bureau confirm this had the effect of increasing the homogenised Australian average temperature by 0.42 degree Celsius, independently of any actual change in the weather?

1. In the 2019 Great Barrier Reef inquiry AIMS could not provide coral growth (not coral cover) measurements since 2005. AIMS said in the inquiry more recent coral growth rate measurements would be available in the next year or so. Are more recent coral growth rates measurements available and if so, could they be provided? 2. Could the most recent coral cover figures across the reef please be provided? 3. For context, could a relative ranking to prior years, please be provided based on size of the coral cover?

119. Has the Federal government covered half the hospital costs for people in hospital with Covid? Was this money reimbursed to State governments? If so, doesn’t this create an incentive for State government to fudge Covid cases in hospital in order to milk the Federal government of Funding? 120. Does the Federal government reimbursing states such as NSW for back capturing whereby that State government counts people as having Covid, even if they had it 28 days prior to entering hospital and went to hospital for another reason such as a broken arm?

146. Why doesn’t the TGA have mandatory reporting requirements of Health professionals for reporting adverse events? Shouldn’t it be mandatory given that the vaccines have only received provisional approval and data from ongoing trials are being assessed on an outgoing basis? 148. In the Post marketing surveillance data there is over 1,000 adverse events of interest – what exactly are adverse events of interest – are they reported adverse events? 149. If the current vaccines fall outside many of the international guidelines for testing vaccines, then isn’t it fair to say they aren’t vaccines. 150. In the post marketing surveillance data – what was the total population of the administered doses? I note this figure has been censored by Pfizer and the FDA – why is such an important indicator of safety being covered up and why won’t the TGA ask for that number and then disclose it? 151. Why did the TGA change death description to Adverse Event following immunisation to avoid scrutiny over cause of death regarding a number of young children were reported to have died from the vaccine?

185. Studies have shown that neutrophils interact with spike proteins to create fibrils that lead to amyloids clots. Has the TGA examined this risk, and can they guarantee that amyloid clots aren’t being formed by the vaccine? 190. I note that the Europeans Medicine Agency has added heavy menstrual bleeding as a side effect of Pfizer and Moderna Covid jabs. Given this delayed warning what testing will the TGA do to ensure that the heavy bleeding isn’t the result of clots and that women are not at danger of having their fertility damaged?

1. What research is the CSIRO undertaking in regard to using mosquitoes as a way to spread vectors? 2. Referring to this NASA energy diagram http://climateimages.homestead.com/nasa-2.jpg we see a claim that greenhouse gases (GHG) send 324 w/sqm downwards but there is only a total of 165 + 30 = 195 w/sqm going from the atmosphere and clouds upwards to Space. Does the CSIRO agree that the GHG molecules somehow “know” to radiate more downwards than upwards? How does it explain these figures in that NASA energy diagram? 3. The same diagram shows a total of 168 + 324 = 492 w/sqm coming out of the base of the atmosphere and into the surface, whereas the solar radiation that enters the atmosphere after some is reflected back to Space is only 342 – 77 = 265 w/sqm, so how is that 265 somehow increased to 492 w/sqm by the atmosphere as is implied? 4. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann Law calculator at https://coolgyan.org/calculators/stefanboltzmann-law-calculator and entering 1 for emissivity (because reflection by the surface has been deducted) and 168 w/sqm does the CSIRO agree that we get a temperature of about 233.3K (about -40C) for what the Solar radiation could achieve on its own? 5. Using the same calculator, does the CSIRO agree that 342 w/sqm is what would be emitted by a blackbody at about 278.7K (about 5.5C)? 6. Does the CSIRO agree that water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane each only radiate in a few frequencies whereas a blackbody radiates a full spectrum of frequencies? 7. Considering all questions above, is it likely that GHG spread out over the height of the troposphere would radiate as much to the surface as a blackbody at an altitude of only about 1.5Km where the average temperature would be about 278.7K? 8. A climatologist Dr Roy Spencer once admitted that the 324 back radiation figure was not a measurement but merely calculated so that all figures balance. Has the CSIRO any contrary information as to how it was either measured or calculated, noting the fact that it implies that the atmosphere generates energy? 9. Referring to the calculations in the note below the NASA diagram, does the CSIRO agree, using the Stefan-Boltzmann calculator, that the net 390 w/sqm is the (uniform) radiation from a blackbody that would achieve a temperature of about 288.0K namely just under 15C as the global mean surface temperature? 10. Can the CSIRO produce any documentation or experiments that confirm that the StefanBoltzmann Law can be used for the arithmetic sum of radiative fluxes from different sources, such as is implied it can be in the NASA diagram. Does it have any such proof that it can be used and give correct temperatures for such a sum of atmospheric and solar radiation less nonradiative surface cooling? 11. In light of responses to all the above, does the CSIRO agree that the NASA diagram does not represent reality and the surface temperature cannot be quantified with such radiation calculations as are implied (and no doubt used in computer models) by that NASA diagram? 12.

Senator RENNICK: Thank you. In order to get to the 43 per cent reduction by 2030, how many kilometres of transmission lines will need to be built? What will the cost of that be? Mr Dyer: I might consult. Ms Brunoro: We have to bear in mind that is a national target as well. The integrated system plan covers the eastern states. We can come back to you with some more analysis on that. Senator RENNICK: Didn’t you just legislate it? Hasn’t it been legislated now, the 43 per cent reduction by 2030?

That estimate from the Australian energy market operator is that it will deliver about 83 per cent renewables by 2030. So it is in line. Senator RENNICK: You can put a cost to that as well? Have we got an estimated cost of that? Ms Brunoro: We can pull out the estimated costs of those projects as they are going through the regulatory impact tests at the moment. Senator RENNICK: Sure. Ms Brunoro: And give a breakdown of them.

Senator RENNICK: That is fair enough. I am curious because the GenCost report is often used as the basis to say that renewables are cheaper. But there’s actually a lot of what I consider flawed assumptions in there, one of them being that you don’t need any more transmission lines until renewables hit 50 per cent of the grid and there’s no recycling costs taken into account. So that is a comment. You don’t need to respond to that. In terms of all the transmission lines that you need to get built between now and 2030 to get to 82 per cent of renewables, have you got approvals for all that from the various landholders? CHAIR: Senator Rennick, I wonder whether Ms Brunoro will take this on notice. There is a lot of detail in what you are asking. Senator RENNICK: Well, we’re in estimates. That is what it is all about—asking for the detail. CHAIR: But rather than her sitting there and adding everything up from her notes, would you be happy to take that further detail on notice? Senator RENNICK: What I would like to know is how far progressed you are in terms of getting the relevant and required approvals from both landholders and state governments and various other bodies—national parks or whatever it may have to be—in order to get those transmission lines built by 2030. Ms Brunoro: The short answer I will provide is that those projects are at different stages of development and approval out to 2030. Some of those that are slated to be delivered in the latter part of the decade will be going through the engagement and consultation processes at a later point in time. Clearly, some of those arrangements are going to change with respect to the various landholders when we get there. We can let you know which projects have had engagement with the community and which ones are to come.

Senator RENNICK: How much did that supercomputer cost? Dr Stone: The supercomputer? Senator RENNICK: Yes. How much did it cost? Dr Johnson: I can give you an exact number. We have a supercomputer that’s running as we speak. If you wish to wait a minute, I can get you the actual number. It’s of that order. Senator RENNICK: Right. Dr Johnson: Or, if you’d like an exact number, I can take it on notice. It’s around that— Senator RENNICK: I just find it interesting because everyone’s jumping up and down about your name change for 200 grand, and there’s a supercomputer that you bought for $40 million that homogenises data that I don’t think people are aware of at all. Dr Johnson: Yes. I’ll get back to you on that, but it’s of that order.

The first law of Thermodynamics state that energy can neither be created or destroyed. Applying that law to Climate change science, how is it that an increase in CO2 levels of 100 ppm in the atmosphere can increase the temperature by 1 degree? That would imply that every extra CO2 molecule has to heat up 10,000 other molecules by 1 degree would it not? (i.e. a million over a hundred molecules) . Assuming CO2 has a specific density of 1.53 in the atmosphere doesn’t this mean that a CO2 molecule would have a temperature of 10,000/1.53 of 6,536 degrees to heat up the surrounding 10,000 molecules by 1 degree which of course is impossible?

1. In 1996, when the Bureau converted to custom-made electronic probes for temperature recording, rather than averaging temperatures over one to five minutes as is standard practice around the world from such equipment, did the Bureau start recording one second extrema resulting in a non-standard method of measuring (spot readings) from non-standard equipment (custom-built probes) making it impossible to establish the equivalence of recent temperatures with historical data? 2. How did the Bureau take into account the change in thermometers from mercury/alcohol to platinum resistance thermometers when homogenising data? 3. Could the Bureau provide specifications for the platinum resistance thermometers? 4. Why did the Bureau manipulate thermometers at Goulburn and Thredbo by putting a limit on how low the temperature can go? 5. Could the Bureau explain why putting a downside limit on temperature recordings isn’t fraudulent? 6. Why should the Bureau be believed when it says there were the only two weather stations (Goulburn and Thredbo) out of 700 stations where downside limits were placed on thermometers? 7. Given these two stations were detected by external sources shouldn’t the entire network by audited by an external auditor on a regular basis to ensure that there has been no further tampering of thermometers by the Bureau? 8. In 2011, the new Australian Climate Observation Reference Network – Surface Air Temperatures (ACORN-SAT) system for calculating the national average temperature removed 57 stations from its calculations, replacing them with 36 on-average hotter stations. Can the bureau confirm this had the effect of increasing the homogenised Australian average temperature by 0.42 degree Celsius, independently of any actual change in the weather?

1. In the 2019 Great Barrier Reef inquiry AIMS could not provide coral growth (not coral cover) measurements since 2005. AIMS said in the inquiry more recent coral growth rate measurements would be available in the next year or so. Are more recent coral growth rates measurements available and if so, could they be provided? 2. Could the most recent coral cover figures across the reef please be provided? 3. For context, could a relative ranking to prior years, please be provided based on size of the coral cover?

119. Has the Federal government covered half the hospital costs for people in hospital with Covid? Was this money reimbursed to State governments? If so, doesn’t this create an incentive for State government to fudge Covid cases in hospital in order to milk the Federal government of Funding? 120. Does the Federal government reimbursing states such as NSW for back capturing whereby that State government counts people as having Covid, even if they had it 28 days prior to entering hospital and went to hospital for another reason such as a broken arm?

146. Why doesn’t the TGA have mandatory reporting requirements of Health professionals for reporting adverse events? Shouldn’t it be mandatory given that the vaccines have only received provisional approval and data from ongoing trials are being assessed on an outgoing basis? 148. In the Post marketing surveillance data there is over 1,000 adverse events of interest – what exactly are adverse events of interest – are they reported adverse events? 149. If the current vaccines fall outside many of the international guidelines for testing vaccines, then isn’t it fair to say they aren’t vaccines. 150. In the post marketing surveillance data – what was the total population of the administered doses? I note this figure has been censored by Pfizer and the FDA – why is such an important indicator of safety being covered up and why won’t the TGA ask for that number and then disclose it? 151. Why did the TGA change death description to Adverse Event following immunisation to avoid scrutiny over cause of death regarding a number of young children were reported to have died from the vaccine?

185. Studies have shown that neutrophils interact with spike proteins to create fibrils that lead to amyloids clots. Has the TGA examined this risk, and can they guarantee that amyloid clots aren’t being formed by the vaccine? 190. I note that the Europeans Medicine Agency has added heavy menstrual bleeding as a side effect of Pfizer and Moderna Covid jabs. Given this delayed warning what testing will the TGA do to ensure that the heavy bleeding isn’t the result of clots and that women are not at danger of having their fertility damaged?
