Peter Dutton has criticised the World Health Organization over China's live animal markets, backing a review of Australia's links to United Nations bodies.

Peter Dutton has criticised the World Health Organization over Chinese live animal markets, backing a review of Australia's links to United Nations bodies.

"It's important for us not to let other countries use this as an opportunity to influence their leverage within some of these communities," he told 2GB radio on Thursday.Mr Dutton said the WHO needed to be called out for backing the reopening of China's wet markets where the virus is likely to have been transmitted to humans.He said it was clear through a number of instances, including the SARS outbreak, that wet markets were a significant problem.

The minister has been a frequent critic of the UN's refugee agency in retaliation to savage assessments of Australia's border protection policies. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said Australia would leverage off its membership of the WHO to push for reform."The practical solutions provided by the WHO locally are much more beneficial than some of the political decisions they have taken centrally."

Agriculture Minister David Littleproud ban all our live animals export first. Protect the cattle n lobsters 🦞 USA puppet

He caught the virus at US, and he is now following US blindly. He even has no idea what is in Trump's playbook of this game.

What about the ruby princess spud?

All right the world unite to against their criminal history and ask China stopping make deadly virus The wild animals market open is confirmed virus was not from market.

never thought I'd agree with Peter Dutton

Good on him!

Go PD! You legend 🥳🥳🥳sbsnews

Dont care. Ask him about the Ruby Princess....

Maybe Peter and SloMo should stop giving a fool like Trump happy ending reach arounds and get real jobs.

How about Ruby Princess?

I smell a scapegoat brewing

Good on him, these markets are heartbreakingly cruel.

Whose this potato head again

Keep up the good work peter!

Instead of pointing the finger of blame elsewhere he should be asked about why he failed to stop the boats.

Just concentrate on getting borderfarce to stop some boats

As usual it just takes a few days for before the Trump administration policy is echoed in Australia.

Do agree that those Wet Markets SHOULD NEVER BE REOPENED. But how come Dutton has been Missing in Action during the Arrival of those Cruise Ships in Australia.

Time Australia stopped contributing funds of $87 million to the UN. coronavirusaustralia Covid_19australia

Monster must face the Hague for his prolonged, deliberate, criminal behaviour to asylum seekers.

Tell him to shut TF up😡

What about Gruby Princess ?

Good old Pete, always up for a bit of criticism; not much for thinking.

Dutton, self styled arbiter of Australia’s interests, decided long ago we don’t need the UN charter of human rights. And we don’t need a bill of rights, because he knows what’s right. I’m comforted...that 2GB dumbographic is a great investment...

Pseudo-conservatives line up to do what they think is smart politics, follow Trump.

Good for him.

Oh Voldemort speaks!!! He can now explain why he didn't stop the boat!

pedwards2014 Look! Look over there! A shiny distraction thing!

I agree with Peter Dutton despite what people say about him, we need transparency and accountability to make sure this doesnt happen again

So Dutton is against live exports from Australia? That’s a turn around.

But.....he signed CHAFTA

NOooooooooooo!

I have been pointing this out long time ago, PETER DUTTON IS A TRUMP SUPPORTER, A SPY FROM TRUMP REGIME

PeterDutton_MP

Just trying to wriggle further up Trumps ass. unaustralian

Before he starts blaming others he needs to take responsibility for the Ruby Princess Tragedy

YEEHAA! PeterDutton_MP Go Peter, you’re the man 😀👍🏻

JanSummersalt Go Dutton

this pandemic can teach that a new world can be imagined in this pause, time is up on divisive populist political figures PeterDutton_MP . Our Humanity, community &social harmony are our strengths in rebuilding a fairer future. auspol coronavirusaustralia

duttonisamonster

Another incompetent person looking to deflect blame

Ruby Princess Potato!!

Good on him, the truth will come out!

Don’t we need to differentiate between wet markets and live wild animal markets? I gather the former is like the Sydney fish market and the latter sells live wildlife. It’s definitely reasonable to demand cessation of live wild animal markets.

Out of hiding Potato head!!!....do everyone a favour and go back into hiding...rubyDutton.

He should maybe criticize China not WHO. It eas better when he had COVID

Of course he has.

He's surfaced

He does know we have similar plus what about our live export industry?

Anything to avoid talking about Ruby Princess

Spuds back inflaming culture wars because he is pretty much useless at everything else.

So did PeterDutton_MP have a word with that other dip💩 D_LittleproudMP who was rejoicing at exporting to those same markets?

PeterDutton_MP don’t dare follow that American fools lead, I know all you can see is $$ for a surplus but don’t be so reckless.

Heavens Mr Dutton has finally emerged from hiding! RubyPrincess

Ala Trump.. trying to be relevant

What a horrible little man.

Hahaha cute. Still blaming the “Wet markets!” It was an act of Terrorism.

Oh there you are Duddo! You've been missing from the schoolyard for weeks. You think we've had enough time to forget about your cock up with Ruby Princess and you can get back to throwing stones again!

Though strong critique typify human emotions in horrific times like this, not to realize that after World War II the bond that unite humanity & nations than differences is stronger than any energy of division.The Australians would rise to oppose Peter Dutton

Oh jumped on the bandwagon.

I see RubyDutton is out and about

Idiot

Dumb Cop Opens Trap

Oh, is Dutton alive? Who knew? auspol failed

World Health Organization reportedly stated while wet markets don’t need to close down, they should be prohibited from selling illegal wildlife, such as pangolins and civet cats, for food, and food safety and hygiene regulations should be enforced.

Thats because the far right do whatever Trump does

Off course he would...Trumpeting his usual lack of concern for science and informed decision making.

☠️ Is Dutton responsible for the Ruby Princess crime ☠️ auspoI RubyDutton rubyprincess coronavirus YES = RETWEET NO = LIKE

OMG Donald Trump has a Brain Fart & out of hubris & denial pulls funding from WHO and Australian Liberal sycophants, who clearly can't generate a single original thought within their whole party, have jumped on the bandwagon. For Fox Sake! Review the RubyPrincess, Auspol

Wow, without checking the article, I'm choking that I agree with the potato!

Follows Trump off course that's all you need to know

Bloody Chinese of African appearance, what with their hoarding of hand sanitiser to wash the bats they feed all the milk formula to...

When do we acknowledge the cruel and disgraceful conditions of animal farming in Australia? And accept in that reguard we aren't as far from China as they have us believe. Also Dutton is a Murdoch stooge.

Good, more needs to be said and done on these Chinese markets. They owe the world a lot and we want them to stop these markets now. China pay up.

Behind the eight ball buddy. They have admitted that the two viruses leaked from a lab that usually infects us every year! Probably linked to the petrochemical company’s with wide spread ominous criminal intent to make blood pharmaceutical money.

He’s so much like the little shit that stands on the edge of a melee and joins in with a few underhanded kicks & swipes after the opponents down .

RubyDutton you failed to protect Australians All your talk about protecting our borders and you let this happen RubyPrincess LibFail COVID19Aus auspol

All live animal and farmer’s markets in Australia will be closed too? Seafood markets as well?

DuchessFrida Spud is in no position to take the moral high ground with anyone

Dutton should focus on his own department and the confirmed cases of over 600 people due to his negligence

Far-right potato Peter Dutton is shitting himself over his Border Force Ruby Princess disaster. Auspol

Jeees where did he pop up from

BBCYaldaHakim China has a general culture of lack of general hygiene along with bad habits such as spitting literally everywhere.

So he has come out of hiding

Geez the Libs are lining up to regurgitate the Trump mantra, can’t think for themselves. What is wrong with our political system and politicians.

Goebbels not dead yet, damn!!!

I don’t often agree with Dutton, but these wet markets DEFINATELY need to be shut.

Should worry about doing his own fucking job

Aha, the guy with pompeos hand up his ass...

This man is a great danger to Australian society.

There must be French women involved somewhere for him to get up and be saying something.

I love Mr PeterDutton_MP's style, calls a spade a spade.

Duttolini's princess is named Ruby

Trumps little pet potato speaks... but not about the Ruby Princess

Ugh.

Seems the masters of the “think tanks” have crafted their silver bullets. (wet markets and the WHO) Now to send out their winged monkeys to disseminate THE message and point their crooked fingers to hide their own failings Their faces will be many, but their words will be as one

The UN is an incestuously corrupt group of criminal organizations. They have done more harm than good to the international community.

He’s an embarrassment to Australia.

The WHO has proved itself to be a Chinese puppet. It is should be defunded immediately.

Good grief, he pops his head over the bunker for this? Get back down because the public are pretty sure we have a head shot and it's name is Ruby Princess. You called it, uninformed it ...BORDER FORCE. It's a Mega portfolio With great power comes great responsibility.

Lapdogs to whatever the current yank president wants as usual. When will we get some real politicians?

What? He’s alive! Jeebus where was he?

The Ruby Spud Lives!!!!

Didn't we get most of our cases from the US?

We should stop all funding to the WHO. Their failure is immeasurable!

I reckon his parents should have called him Virusily at birth !! And his nick name at school COVID !!

Time to defund the bloated failing UN & it’s corrupt offspring. Australia can choose its allies without them.

Who gives a toss about what Duttons opinion is of the WHO. We'd much rather he give us a full explanation about the Ruby Princess & the abject failure of his boarder farce department. Why did they allow it to dock & why they allowed potentially ill passengers to disembark . 🤔

He is alive!!!!😩

Send him first tochop himup with the Aussie pigs

The clown car pulls up and every right wing B grader piles out to follow the lead set in Washington. They lack a full understanding of what the WHO is or does. They have missed out on the prey they normally pack hunt. Unfit to lead.

Just coz he looks like a super villain, does he always have to act like one?

Thank you minister

Ha. What about Rube Princess PeterDutton_MP. That’s the wet market you created. What about that and our indignation?

Ruby Princess!!

Leave it to to the DFAT beavers spud PeterDutton_MP Mass distraction appeal to base. Zero finesse or tact. Abbottlike infantilism. Have you read Mal’s book yet mate? ResignNow RubyPrincess

So yeah, an organization which has been around for longer than Dutton, accomplished small feats like eradicating smallpox etc is now the scapegoat of failed politicians and right-wing news outlets... 😬

Wet markets.. you wish that's where this came from.

JanSummersalt Mr Dutton is doing good things, carry on.

Good....all globalist bodies need to be ended now! Stop the funding now!

Peter who?

Oh he’s reappeared now?

Oh Look!! He’s Back- from under his rock!

We know China has lied repeatedly. We know the wet market story is grasping at straws. Most likely vector is from institute of virology in Wuhan. CCPVirus Defund the UN and the WHO.

PM material. Dutts

Now freeze funding

No freeze funding

Ex Members of the Qld Police Force who have made any useful policy contributions is a club of one.

The DICK speaks again!

Dutton is suffering from Ruby Princess exposure. Certainly he WOULD target the worthy World Health Organisation instead of tweaking it. Especially when failure to prevent a border incursion points straight to him.

Oh there he is. He can pop up for some racist finger pointing but not to take responsibility for the majority of covid cases in the country.

United Nations bodies you say? I second that motion. Let's start with the feminist-saturated ones shall we? auspol

So did Scott Morrison; & I couldn’t believe tht I was better informed on th matter thn th country’s leader, simply by having read a cpl of articles abt ‘“wet markets” & having watched th drum th other night.

The Ruby Princess himself. He should talk.

Go away

Yesssss 👏👏👏

I find it embarrassing that our supposed leaders are copy cats of Trump. Disgusting.

These live markets are Not just in China ..USA as well

Der Führer has spoken.

Yep.

Investigate the IPCC too.

Is Dutton related to Trump? They both are critical of the WHO as a way of deflecting attention from their own incompetence.

A boat docks releasing COVID-19 into the country. Dutton: crickets. Trump attacks WHO to deflect criticism. Dutton: jumps aboard the blame train

KarrenEricson When these critics have suggestions on how to feed 1.3 billion poor people in China then they may have some credibility! 4 times the population of America in the same space? When eating rodents is all you can afford... You eat rodents or die!

Ok that proves it. If Dutton is against WHO then I’m all for it. Dutton... hands off world health... struth after what you’ve been through. Selfish.

karenricks Good news PeterDutton_MP

Does the reptile only emerge when he can be a nasty, racist prick? Where was he when the Ruby Princess disembarked? Or when the plans landed with abandon in Sydney? Or when fires engulfed the country? Obvs only likes to lock up refugees, incite violence against Africans, and this

PeterDutton_MP has a backbone and should be applauded.

Seems like Peter grew some courage after Trump withdrew funding to WHO. Credibility?

I wonder who is looking to be in Trumps good books if he gets to topple Morrison?

Fuck off Spudboy

JanSummersalt Fantastic. Cut all ties to the UN PeterDutton_MP. They are communist leaches.

Peter Dutton looks like he originated in a wet market

Dutton needs to get out Trump’s arse.

WHO does a great job globally to prevent disease spread. Their record is much better than yours. You had a shot at Ruby Princess and fumbled the ball. You should be benched.

Deflecting.

Dutton's struggling with baby/bathwater logic.

Never thought I would agree with Peter Dutton on something. But he is right.

Rightly so

Up to 65% of food comes from wet markets - what do you expect to replace that with?

Hes alive!!!!!!!! Thank god, was worried as hes been missing in action. WheresHeBeenHiding

This man is on the right track!!

Where? When? Is he back?

There is no way Australia should be donating to these lazy international Public Servants, wallowing in a multi billion trough. Morrison again bows to the Australian Public Service who see the U.N and it's tentacles as an aspiration.

Who kept the boats away and let the boat in...

Good! WHO is atrocious.

Good on you Peter...make sure to keep up the momentum

Go get em Pete PeterDutton_MP

There should be a thorough review of treaty’s and obligations that exist between Australia and the UN. Any that are not in Australia’s best interest should be removed, as the least action. Failing that our entire tenure as a member should be reviewed.

Peter Dutton should blame himself, letting ships drop the COVID infected people into Australian communities without any concern for Australian people safety.

Lunatic copying his guru Trump.

How about Dutton starts worrying about doing his fucking job. He’s responsible for hundreds of covid19 cases and multiple deaths. He didn’t stop the boat that counted!

Since when is WHO in charge PeterDutton_MP Dutton? talk to your mates in the Chinese Government

So a review, whoops do!

Peter whooooooo ? MIA

BBCYaldaHakim So obviously POTUS is not crazy.. As many are saying...

Drop Dead D.

Did Donald tell you to say that? Dutton will always be the puppet and not the puppet master.

I’ve never agreed with anything Dutton’s said before, but I agree this time. Wet markets should not continue. Or at the very least they should ban the sale of bats and bat-meat, probably snakes as well.

So WHO has a say in markets held in countries now do they?

Thank you PeterDutton_MP

More Governments should be criticising the World Health Organisation on the useless approach to the CCP Virus. WHO had warning from Taiwan over this virus of which WHO took no notice what so ever...!!! The told us there could be no human to human transmission back in January.

'Me too Mr Trump! Meeee toooo! Please notice meeeeee;'

Potato! Havent seen him for ages...

Just the standard Dutton playbook. Imagine the day he actually does something that makes a positive contribution to the world. Oh sorry. No.

What a fcking tool

Live animal markets were banned in China some years back.

Wow, just one dog whistle and Spud comes bounding out of his kennel teeth bared.

yarrajewel Let’s hope it’s not all talk & no action as the WHO are now just a group of over privileged China lovers🤦‍♂️

Bill Gates must be arrested for World Crimes

yarrajewel W.H.O. is an exclusive club wasting millions on 1st class travel. Cut funding. auspol

JanSummersalt KEEP SLAMMING DUTTON MAKE AUSTRALIA GREAT AGAIN.

So stop giving them our money!!

It's all on you Spud... PeterDutton_MP

To get rid of the responsibility/complains from what they did wrong the politicians always blame others, it’s good way for politicians to lead group of people who don’t think independently to follow them to blame somebody else or other countries

Dutton has hopped on the wagon withTrump voicing his opinion regarding the WHO & their commitment in advising Nation's of Health Danagers however his efforts should be focused on Matters in Aust especially our Borders. Cruise Ships This Guy will try to Deflect Blame any Cost

Dutton said he would stop the boats...and keep our borders secure...he lied about that too.

Is Australia acting in humanity's interest? HomeToBilo

Australia has live exports and plenty of other markets...

Voldemort says what?

We call them 'wet' markets in Singapore because the floors were wet from being hosed down with water at closing time. They usually sold fresh fish, meat, poultry & vegetables. The dry section of the market sold dried goods and sundries. Wet markets are not wildlife markets.

What he know about wet market? The wet market is life line crossed Asia. Is he want people be hungry?

I take it then live exports are going to stop?

talkingkoala Stop worrying about China and the wet markets! Start worrying about Ruby Princess! PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP

PeterDutton_MP for prime minister

The WHO knows the virus came from a Wuhan lab - that’s why they’re happy with wet markets. COVIDー19

I’m criticising how shit he is at his job

People like Peter Dutton do not represent the interests of the broader community. The abrogation of responsibility to Australians by publicly prostrating themselves before Donald Trump is beyond nauseating. It is naivety and negligence in the extreme. auspol COVID19Aus

He should talk about negligence 🙄

Maybe he is right, but at the same time, I don’t think this country can be so self righteous when we still do live cattle exports. Just sayin

Who cares what Mr Potatohead thinks.... he’s irrelevant now!

Yeah, the W.H.O. should have stopped the one boat that counted .. on ya Pete, you nasty dill

I'd forgotten how nice it was not hearing from him. Wondering why it was this he broke his silence for & not BorderFarce's handling of the RubyPrincess? Isn't he the minister in charge of them, since he was so desperate to create his own paramilitary force for arrivals?

And he emerges... PeterDutton_MP. More support is needed for WHO from its member states. That is how it all works. Not withdrawing support. Donald trump cannot string a sentence together. Following him hige mistake. Follow jacindaardern if you want to follow a leader.

FFS Pete the Ruby Princess wasn’t a live cattle shipment remember 🤡

JanSummersalt Thank you PeterDutton_MP De-fund the WHO & UN. Investigate & audit them both. No more money from Australia to either the WHO or UN, unless investigations come up clean!

Just watching to see who plays for the home team. What do we mean by home?

WHO has covered itself with shame

Meanwhile at Fox

Pot calling kettle black RubyPrincess

Trump’s best mate.

Those markets are like something out of a horror movie. Psychopathic.

Pure evil. And I don't mean the Chinese.

Took PeterDutton_MP a month to think this one up

Hey World Health Organisation, how is world health going at the moment, on your watch? Stop trying to shift the blame. China did what it did but you didn't do what you were created to do.

What about our own shameful live export trade here in Oz? Pot, kettle

Hello hello hello & where have you been

Deflection.

DrRimmer Where . is . he?

If Trump declared war on the Moon, Dutton would be first to start howling at it.

I’d forgotten how ugly he is, in every possible way 🥔

Nazism!

talkingkoala Dutton should be worried about the UN view of Australia's diminishing democracy. Bloody fascist.

He has become tiresome.

This is the guy ultimately responsible for stopping all the boats yeah (*infected cruise ships excluded)?

Peter Dutton has become a vegan?

Does this mean the LNP a will be handing back their Rolex’s (not to mention those millions in donations)? Has anyone told Gladys 🤭

Is Peter going to shut down our live animal exports then? A lot of them end up at wet markets. Meanwhile, China is not allowing the sale of live animals other than fish...

Oh No..................Just when I was convinced he had gone to the 'other side'. He's a tad late.......I believe that resurrections happened last Sunday.

Good get us out of this bloody sham

wow the gold medalist for hide and seek as Dutton has been not seen in months.

powerglobalus Good on him! WHO needs to be called out !

JanSummersalt With you on that PeterDutton_MP

Peter who? Where has he been?

Wild life markets AND live animal trade in general need to be closely examined here. Let’s not forget swine flu, mad cow disease, avian flu from poultry. Australian is heavily involved in all of these trades.

Oh look we’ve moved away from “wet markets” now that folk realise technically Queen Victoria Markets in Melbourne are essentially “wet markets”...it’s about refrigeration and food handling procedures...

gogetsmarthome I agree on the wet markets anyway.

HaroldHodson2 Fucking Trump fanboy.

The only smart thing Peter Dutton has ever done they are disgusting feral people who do those wet markets and the people who shop at them

Totally agree with him and more. SAID back in Feb 2020 ⤵️

what about Dutton's roll in the RubyPrincess ?

These problems wouldn’t exist if everyone was vegan.

It's kinda not right COMMING from THE W.H.O how are these markets health Standards being met. But I believe that this virus come from a lab. Which supports the Health Standards of these wet markets are in FACT of hygiene sanatisize concerns. I support your decision Peter.

SBS and other responsible media should explain to Australians and politicians what wet markets really are. There seems to be a lot of ignorant finger pointing going on. For a start I think Sydney has three wet markets.

Well done Peter

Oh god can someone put him back in his box?

Great news - let's get OUT

Dotty Dutton sucking up to The Donald...shame on you

Oh please abandon the UN and begin a new organization based on decency and without sinister agendas.

Funny many Chinese wet markets actually selling many many many fishes lobsters...... Imported from Australia... How can you just sell seafood to the wholesales in China without letting them resale it?

Hang on. What’s he doing up and out of his coffin? It’s not night time yet.

And he's the guy to do it - send them to Manus, bring in the boys from Paladin. What is the point of a group dedicated to world health for goodness sake!

“Look over here, not at the Ruby Princess debacle.”

Links to USA and Israel Dominate their Nazi Attitude. Ironical As Usual.

RobMax4 Spuds scared of being peeled under water.

Stop following Donald Trump Dutton, Morrison and your cast of fools. We are not the world's police but a country of its citizens. Trump has FAR more to answer for than the WHO. Grow up Australian Government.

This guy is really a shameful dog of trump!!

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone RubyPrincess

But this is not the time for finger pointing and blame shifting is it? 🤔

They down played the seriousness of Covid and delayed calling it a pandemic for too long. And now their endorsement of the opening of wet markets in China. WTF? Make you wonder how beholden they are to PRC bullying.... 2/2

I can't stand Mr Potato, and Trump pulling funding of the WHO is an obvious blame deflection tactic of his inaction, but I'm inclined to agree that criticism of the WHO is justified. 1/2

He’ll try to tell us next that WHO allowed the RubyPrincess passengers to disembark.

Peter who?

RobMax4 These liberals aren't very imaginative are they? Slavishly following the line decreed by the madman Trump.

Learn some common sense:

And yet we live export sheep and cattle.

go season yourself, pringle-head

RobMax4 ...so he’s in over-drive to distract from the Ruby Princess..I guess all the finger pointing toward the NSW Gov failed to improve his reputation..he’s quite an unhinged-dangerous man

Oh gawd.

You have got to be kidding me. This insidious approach to nationalisation and protectionism is very inappropriate and dangerous. Dutton made a mistake with the Ruby Princess and like Trump is trying to distract us with this garbage.

For the sake of political point scoring lets all ignore the fact that China has brought the world to a halt. Through no fault of their own people have lost their livelihoods, have died, some will never recover and future generations have burdened with an enormous debt.

Standard RWNJ deflection

Mt Dutton, start with withdrawing us from the outdated 1951 UN Convention on Refugees which completely erodes our sovereignty and forces us to take unsustainable numbers from the 3rd world.

Always 2GB as they won’t ask him tough questions. Paper tiger

What’s a Dutton?

Has the spud cone out of hiding ?

Don't tell us the kiffler is out & about spruking his wise words!

LEADERSHIP! This man should have been the Prime Minister instead of the dud the LNP handed us!

Would the WHO have let the ruby Princess disembark?

My only response is Ha, ha ha p, now we know what is in Malcolm Turnbull’s book

Has he fixed the TP problem?

Dutton has pulled a tactic straight out of Trump’s playbook - try to hide your own incompetence by blaming the WHO.

So we will be shutting down our cattle markets?

He would say that, wouldn't he?

WHO cannot command that China close its markets. It cannot command anything at all. WHO can advise, and has advised, China to close its wet markets. This is a straw man argument that Australia makes to try and cover its rear from its Trumpian master.

We have wet markets (a western term) in Australia our fish markets are wet markets. Hypocrisy? We export live sheep many of which die on route. Hypocrisy? One suspects the issue is about livestock combined with general food markets. Less hysteria more facts please.

PeterDutton_MP . Succinct. Savvy.

Peter Dutton is always “slamming” someone. bully

WHO does not have the power to order governments to close live animal markets but has urged countries around the world to shut down 'dangerous' wet markets. Dutton is such a liar and an ignorant man.

Yawn...

You need to leave the UN because you do not abide by the human rights convention on refugees, locking them up for going on eight years for no crime. UNrefugees FreeTheRefugees committed no crime EndDetention not criminals. Seeking refugee is not illegal. HomeToBilo Covid_19

OMG Murphy! Is that you?

Can’t he just go away

Fantastic. Long overdue.

We have wet markets here in Australia too. Queen Vic Market (Melbourne) Paddy's Market (Sydney) Central Market (Adelaide) Fish Market (Sydney) Why is this news? China.

ozgrrl Sounds like a foreign backed coup with the junta already and now they want to isolate Australia, but not in a good way, from a disease, but from other people.

We must be seen to be towing the Trump line. First Fryenberg and now Dutton. We are not obviousness

Bugger off Dutton ! Your slavish adherence to Trump’s line is an embarrassment for Australia

Why is this joker still relevant

U.S forces give the nod, its a step back for our country 🎼🎼🎼

I’m labeling it deliberate deflection. Deflecting any & all scrutiny that could implicate or incriminate his utter lack of judgement, accountability & transparency as the Fed Minister for Home Affairs & Border Control & Australian Sovereignty and, and, the bovine excreta society

Indeed. We should abandon WHO because they withheld information from us that complicated our response to covid-19.

LNP/IPA/TRUMP, taking ridiculous to a whole new level. Where is Australia heading under this Mob. Nowhere good, that’s for sure.

Omg him slamming others.

Any disagreement of the Wuhan Animal Markets, let’s not try to delude by calling them anything else, coming from whomever I will agree with. When I saw a Koala waiting to be chopped up live, any support I may have nurtured for China, went straight out the window.

Don’t really think the rest of the world care to much if Australia is associated with world bodies or not. Australia is a very insignificant country in the global scheme of things.

In other words you're Donald Trump puppets

Good!

I totally agree.

He only spoke out after realDonaldTrump smashed WHO ... Such a suck up.. You will not be our US ambassador - quit trying.

I think Dutton is so grateful he gets virus from US not China.

I can’t stand Dutton but agree with his criticism of WHO re the live animal markets.

Trump USA, Morrison PM and Peter Dutton Australia fall into line with US request to divert crisis onto WHO. Is this part of our ALLIANCE with US. Duttons diversion tactic from Ruby Princess deaths...😬👎

are you in your own home Petie pie or in your holiday home?

petie pie isn't on holidays who would have guessed. Peter did you authorise the emptying of the ruby Princess without any health or passport checks? Was Alex Hawkes inlaws on board, was that the reason?

Dutton has come out of hiding. Deaths relative to Ruby Princess docking in Australia is a dereliction of duty and a failure of Border Force. Peter Dutton cannot treat this a ' sports rort', this is deaths under his watch....😬👎

Sydney fish markets though?

Because Trump has totally mismanaged the covid-19 situation he is looking to blame everyone except his own ineptitude. And of course the little sheep in our govt are blindly following the Orange Man as usual.

He is a wet market

......this government...... *shakes head* TrumpLite

Dutton ... is he still a thing?

Of course he has to announce this- so as to immediately deflect from the release of Malcolm Turnbull’s book

Dutton lives.

Vote chasing cop.

Who lifted the rock to let Dutton out

It would be impossible to pack every piece of meat consumed in developing countries into environmentally damaging plastic bags and put them in a supermarket. Pity our politicians with no practical experience focus on opportunities to criticise rather than logic.

Crawled out from under the rock.

Oh. Dutton raises his head. Having a go at an obvious target many have done sooner. Are you going to protect us Pete? You did well in Darwin doing a PR job all over a cruise liner 2 days before crickets on 3K people off a boat in Sydney. Just a tiny miss there Pete baby!

Who's the lap dog?

Shutdown any Australian market that is selling live crabs as well then.

Suddenly leftards can't decide which they hate more: Dutton or eating bats, dogs and pangolins.

Dutton. Hey mate how’s this stuff up going. You didn’t stop the ship.

Well he would say that wouldn’t he? Mini-me Mussolini.

Remove funding from the WHO (Wuhan Health Organization). Totally useless CCP lackey.

Is it odd that, of the thousands of inappropriate practices carried out in the world every day, people like Petdo find it convenient to jump on the bandwagon Trump is trying to use to extricate himself from fallout over his own in action? Politics doesn't change!

Have any Journo's questioned him on The Ruby Princess?

Dutton must have caught the Trump virus (of stupidity)

Clear for all to see. An elected member of parliament more interested in what's happening 9000 km away than in his own backyard. Ruby Princess, PeterDutton_MP, Ruby Princess. auspol

Where have you been spud?

......and yet is quite happy for Australia to export live animals, in horrific and often fatal conditions?

He's been found!!! How about you explain the RubyPrincess debacle PeterDutton_MP? You're nothing but a fear mongering dog whistler when it comes to 'stopping boats', yet let in the 1 boat that did need stopping. Stand down now. auspol

Oh god! Is he fully recovered from Covid? 🙄

Who does gutton think he is...he cant even do his job in border force...just look at his Ruby Princess stuff up...SBS...attack that ..dont give him any air time

Wow, the invisible man resurfaces, reminding us all of the failure of Border Forces to stop the boats. Or is this a distraction from our own failures?

go home biff

Look who sprung out of his box! RubyPrincess

Good . What kind of HEALTH ORG doesn't check the science & just parrots what they are told by the CCP? WHO NEEDS INVESTIGATING . Quote Screening is of little BENEFIT !Chinas lack of animal welfare is beyond horrific

Using the same playbook as Trump. How embarrassing.

Can you please stop giving this political excuse air time until he comes clean about who was responsible for letting thousands of people be infected with Covid19 from cruise ships?

his barking up the wrong tree!

shaunmicallef 's character has him down perfectly. So angry.

Conflicting info here. The markets have reopened, are still called “wet markets” but are not selling live animals, according to some reports. Why not just call them ... markets. If this is the case.

How about he explain his departments failures on the RubyPrincess docking at port!

Is this the deflection, Spud? You’re going to parrot Trump’s rhetoric for a scapegoat? The Ruby Princess isn’t going away.. and the death count from it goes up each day..

For once I agree with Mr . Dutton which is totally amazing.

Get in! PeterDutton_MP you’re a guy who gets sh*t done! Good job!

ahh yes, the fascist anti-globalist wants to isolate Australia on the world stage even more. Too bad he couldn't isolate the Ruby Princess.
