Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton is standing firm on the need for an independent inquiry into the origins of the CCP virus outbreak in China, even as the regime accused Australia of playing “political games” without explaining its own behaviour during the pandemic.

Foreign Minister Marise Payne raised the idea of an international inquiry a week ago, calling for greater transparency on how the virus originated and how it was subsequently handled.
