Speaker 1
I declare open this public hearing on the joint standing committee on treaties for its inquiry into amendments to the international health regulations. I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners on the land on which we meet and pay my respects to elders both past, present, and emerging. I also extend that respect to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that might be joining us today. In accordance with the committee's resolution of the 07/31/2025, this hearing will be broadcast, and proof and official transcripts of the proceedings will be published on the parliamentary website. I remind members of the media of the need for fair and accurate reporting of the proceedings of the committee.

I'll now call our first witnesses.
