politics Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a federal inquiry into the COVID-19 response but lockdowns won't be examined. AN INQUIRY into the handling of the coronavirus pandemic has been labelled a 'koala court' by Member for Mallee Anne Webster, who says it's 'too cuddly towards Labor state Premiers'. 'Usually, questionable inquiries are kangaroo courts, but in this case the Prime Minister has gone out of his way to avoid scrutiny of state and territory actions during the pandemic – it's more of a cuddly koala court,' Dr Webster said.
