The Australian Senate voted against an inquiry into the causes of the nation’s high excess mortality today. This is the third time the Senate has voted against investigating excess deaths, after rejecting two previous motions last year.
Australia has recorded more deaths than expected in the past several years, with some states experiencing up to 17% excess mortality. This trend is ongoing, with the latest reporting from the ABS estimating 12,377 excess deaths for the first three quarters of 2023, 9.9% above the expected baseline.
Australia’s peak actuarial body, the Actuaries Institute, attributes many of these excess deaths to Covid. This is contested, but even so, at least half of Australia’s excess mortality remains unexplained.
Earlier today, Senator Ralph Babet of the United Australia Party tabled a motion proposing that the issue of excess mortality in Australia be referred to a committee for an inquiry and report.
The Noes had it 35:30, with Labour, the Greens, the Jacqui Lambie Network and independent Lydia Thorpe all voting to reject the motion.
The Liberals, the Nationals, the Country Liberal Party, the United Australia Party, One Nation and independent David Pocock voted in favour of the motion.

Senator Babet has previously tabled two unsuccessful motions to generate inquiry into Australia’s excess deaths, both on March 23rd 2023 (see Hansard record here).
One motion proposed the formation of a dedicated committee garnered only four votes in favour (Ralph Babet, One Nation’s Pauline Hanson and Malcolm Roberts, and Liberal Alex Antic, who crossed the floor). A second motion proposing a parliamentary debate on excess mortality was narrowly defeated 30:29.
Today’s motion differed in that it proposed that the matter of excess mortality be referred to the already existing Community Affairs References Committee for further investigation.
Labour Senator Katy Gallagher, who represents the Health portfolio in the Senate, stated prior to the vote:
The Government does not support this motion. The ABS [Australian Bureau of Statistics] is the definitive authority of mortality statistics and data in Australia and provides regular publications… This data is published online and available to everyone.
This is accurate. However, the ABS does not speculate as to why more Australians are dying of certain illnesses at greater or lesser rates.
Seeking an answer to this question, the Australian Medical Professionals Society initiated its own investigation last year into Australia’s excess mortality. Every federal politician was invited to attend a presentation in Canberra, and the inquiry’s findings were published in a book, Too Many Dead: An Inquiry into Australia’s Excess Mortality, which was also distributed to federal politicians.
AMPS Secretary Kara Thomas says of today’s vote:
It is devastating to see the Government again vote against finding out what is causing Australia’s sustained excess mortality, but we are glad to see the Coalition has been receptive to the AMPS Inquiry’s findings, and that it is interested in pursuing further investigation.
The AMPS book focuses particularly on the evidence for iatrogenesis (i.e., harms inflicted by Australia’s medical response to Covid) and failures in pharmacovigilance.
Additionally, in submissions to an inquiry into Terms of Reference for a Covid Royal Commission, experts including economists, legal advocates and mental health professionals highlighted the potential for harms to health arising from other Covid policies, including lockdowns, isolation, loss of employment, loss of autonomy and increased stress.
Speaking in support of the AMPS independent inquiry last year, Senator Babet stated: “We are seeing too many excess, unexplained deaths in our nation every month. This is a matter of life and death and should be our top priority.”
In 2020, the people in charge shut the country down to save lives. Every single Covid-related death was meticulously documented in regular reports produced by state and territory health departments, and announced by Premiers in regular press briefings. TV news stations ran ticker counts.
Yet for the thousands of Australians who have since died unexpectedly for unknown reasons, the people in charge have shown little concern or motivation to investigate.

Weird how a couple of years ago they were clobbering us over the head with excess deaths, blaming them all on us, but now they don’t want to hear about them for some reason… Strange… Almost like they have something to hide… But surely the government couldn’t possibly have anything to hide, ever, right?
Definitely nothing to hide. Move along, move along.
See the latest video from Dr John Cameron on YT. They cannot hold on too much longer, as there is a new disease which didn’t exist before, and plenty of evidence of it from the dead. Strange really as it was claimed that Covid was lethal and needed prevension, and now the prevention(?) has produced a new disease previously unknown to pathology or embalmers!
All very predictable.
Still building out their runbooks and playbooks for the next scamdemic. Just waiting for the WHO scamdemic treaty to be signed. Polishing the propaganda and fake models. New 1934 Enable Acts being crafted as we type.
A group of politicians voting to not investigate a crime they themselves have committed.
What a shock.
And this is the problem we face for a few decades – in most places there was no opposition to the “covid” scam, so almost everyone is complicit in it. There’s no hope of anyone with enough leverage investigating it properly making public the conclusions, and of those conclusions giving rise to any action. More is happening in the USA than most places.
That was my frustration and anger during the aggressive jab roll out. I was convinced that part of the strat was that the entire population be in on the crime as it were, so in that way everyone is in the clear.
It seems to have worked. I know a couple of people who’ve admitted to me that they regret getting jabbed – nothing from the rest. Tricky one to bring up in conversation: “hello friend, how’s your incipient myocarditis…?”
See the latest video from Dr John Cameron on YT. It’s worse than myocarditis or pericarditis!
It may have been voted down but isn’t that 3 opportunities to vote for an inquiry into excess deaths that the UK Parliament has yet to have one vote for?
Meanwhile, in Canada the Turdeau gets his knuckles rapped for freezing the truckers cash:

It makes me sad because I love Australians. I speak to them on the phone and they are like Brits from the 1950s. I know it is easy for us to hate them in the light of recent events but they are genuinely good people lead hither and yon by forces that they never had to contend with before.
My idea of paradise is to spend my dying maybe surrounded by Australians, perferrably women. I don’t say that lightly but just because of conversations with them.If you are into charming women then Australian women are right up your street.
I love em anyway I wish I was there to somehow make a difference. I think they are open to the right voices. I don’t want to see them locked up in Covid camps. I mean you can go into a bar over there and everyone will be friendly and they are a fine people
Marking time until Disease X is ready for release !!
What’s that old saying ….. oh yes “Nothing to fear, nothing to hide.”
Basically, they’ve voted to hide because they’re afraid of the outcome.
There are not many professions where the main quality required is to be a squirming parasite. I don’t think in any walk of life there has ever been such a disgusting bunch of trash.
