It's hardly surprising that an Australian should have shares in Australian company CSL.
I have shares in CSL.
Most people with a super fund probably do.
It is drawing a very long bow to suggest that, on the basis of that shareholding, they can influence the opinion of The Australasian Virology Society.

Hence why I said maybe. But he did buy at least some of the shares only 2 months before the agreement on AstraZeneca was announced.

chuckled at a Twitter tweet comparing the governments choice of vaccine as being the "fibre to the node" of vaccines.

According to someone on Twitter. I note there's no source quoted.

He declared CSL purchases in his register of members interests dated 30 June, he had none on his 30 March declaration. Proof is there if you look.
and as I said "It is drawing a very long bow to suggest that, on the basis of that shareholding, they can influence the opinion of The Australasian Virology Society" but carry on with your little conspiracy
If backbenchers buying a few shares influences an independent association of medical professionals then that association is neither independent, professional or worth taking note of

Already answered now we're just going around in circles.

Declaration dated 30 July 2019 shows he had CSL shares then

Check the documentation he's had CSL shares in his portfolio since July 2019. Proof is there, if you're willing to look.

Dunno why you want to keep going with this. I specifically acknowledged he may have had some CSL shares before he bought further shares in June.

None on his 30 March declaration?
So did he have none as you state or some as per his declaration?
If you're going to invent stuff to back up your conspiracy theories at least invent something that is at least close to the truth.

I agree - it's a long bow to draw.

It's potentially a great leveller if no amount of money or importance can buy you a better vaccine. Maybe we can on-sell the AstraZeneca to a needier country and ensure everyone gets the same protection here.

Someone posted the analogy online would you use the condom that was 95% effective or 62% effective?

Meanwhile the US broke another single day record overnight of 4,327 deaths..
