One of the many proposed amendments to the IHR includes removal of wording such as "dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms"
This should alarm every individual on our planet and is why we all need to contact our parliamentary representatives.
That's what this website is for.
Given the potential dire and horrifying ramifications of these proposed amendments, it is time for Australians to take a stand and let our MP's know that they need to represent "We, the people" with our disapproval of them.
The best way to do this is by writing to and calling our MPs.
Australia's MPs are all listed down below by state. If you want to send an email or call them, we've simplified the process by preparing a letter that you can copy (with one tap or mouse click), and then you click a button to email a selected MP.
While we'd all love the convenience of emailing all MPs at once, sadly, their staff members will delete emails that appear to be part of a mass-mailing campaign.
This is why all emails must be individualised, to ensure they get through.
All it takes is four mouse clicks and typing 10-15 words. If this is too much for us, then we deserve what we get.
Remember: SUBJECT line, PASTE the letter, add YOUR NAME .... SEND
Now select your state below, choose an MP and click
(and then complete the 3 items explained above)* Correspondence to the Prime Minister must be done via this online form

Message to members of the House and Senate
Dear Senators and MP's,
I write this letter, to bring your attention to the seriousness of the proposed changes to the World Health Assembly's (WHA's) International Health Regulations (IHR), implied under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Should these proposals be adopted, Australian sovereignty, and freedom will be removed and subordinated to unelected international bodies. If these proposals are adopted, fundamental human and democratic rights of all Australians will be further eroded and completely removed. These proposals on many occasions have been previously discussed and are currently being negotiated without appropriate transparency, knowledge, and input of the Australian people.
I, draw your attention to proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR), :
... and the updated proposed 'pandemic treaty'
These proposals, mentioned above, followed a consensus reached by World Health Assembly in December 2021 to 'kickstart a global process to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen global pandemic prevention, preparedness and response'.
The Review Committee for the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations have made recommendations in regards the proposed changes to the International Health Regulations. There has been no recommendation to remove the proposed amendments pertaining to implementing a Global Digital Health Certificate. Further, the report does not compel member countries to vote in accordance with the Review Committee recommendations.
The intent of both proposals, will be considered for adoption under Article 19 of the WHO Constitution, or other provisions of the constitution as may be deemed appropriate by the INB at the 76th WHA being held from 21 May 2023.
The remainder of this correspondence focuses on the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) because their adoption by the WHA requires only a simple majority among its member states to be legally binding on all member states including Australia, (whereas the new proposed pandemic treaty requires conscious, 2/3 of the member states to agree to it's adoption).
The amendments seek to remove the very protection the original IHR instigated, reversing the intent of the implementation of the IHR by removing the words 'with full respect for the dignity, human rights and fundamental freedoms of persons'.
The proposals have strong potential to produce several outcomes detrimental to human rights and Australian sovereignty including:
It should be noted that according to the existing IHR, adoption and imposition of these proposals would not require ratification in Australia's Parliament, or even the signature of our Prime Minister. They will simply take effect, imposing rules and requirements on Australia which the people had no say in developing or rejecting.
These proposals, and the way they may be adopted, implemented, and enforced, run contrary to the fundamental principles of Australian democracy: transparency, accountability, the fundamental rights of the individual not being subordinated to the interests of the state, and laws being made by representatives fairly and freely elected by the people. This is effectively a blatant grab for power without accountability by the WHO, and it is not something Australia – a free representative democracy with a proud history of opposing authoritarianism and tyranny – should tolerate in principle or in practice.
Australia has unique health challenges and only Australians should be ultimately determining the health policies which meet these challenges.
I look forward to receiving your considered response about how you will address these serious matters. I seek your specific positions on the IHR proposals, what actions you are taking to ensure that it is ultimately the Australian people who determine the laws under which Australians' live, and what actions you are taking to ensure the WHO remains strictly an advisory body which makes only non-binding and non-enforceable recommendations that Australia is completely within its right to determine if they are suitable for our unique purposes.
I ask you to advocate for the people of Australia, reject the international power grab, reject the proposed IHR amendments and withdraw Australia from the World Health Organization.
Yours sincerely
