Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne has welcomed the White House’s call for a renewed investigation into the origins of COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP virus.

Having led the call for an investigation over a year ago, and drawing the ire of Beijing along the way, Payne said U.S. President Joe Biden’s statement was “a welcome one.”
