Minister, Australia's donor funding to the global COVAX Facility is low, very low, by global standards. Australia is contributing only $4 per person, compared to nearly triple that amount by the United States and many times that amount by countries such as Sweden and Norway. Why is Australia shunning the COVAX facility with such miserly contributions and failing to do its fair share in helping the global South countries to get vaccinated? Do you even care about global vaccine equity?
