The Federal Government has been urged to support a global agreement to temporarily waive intellectual property rights linked to COVID-19 vaccines.
The US today backed the proposal before the World Trade Organisation, which advocates say would allow developing nations to use established formulas to create vaccines at home.
Critics claim the waiver would lead to lower-quality vaccines and financially damage the pharmaceutical giants which first developed the jabs.

Former Liberal Prime Minister
Malcolm Turnbull has broken ranks to eviscerate News Corp at the Senate inquiry into media diversity, accusing
Rupert Murdoch‘s media empire of being “an absolute threat to our democracy.”
The former PM rocked up to the Senate inquiry after having his political aspirations torpedoed by News Corp not just as the head of government, but also more recently as head of a NSW Government climate change advisory board. Turnbull was one of only a handful of prominent Liberals to call for stronger action on climate change, even if his own leadership appeared to lack the same enthusiasm.
