Subject: HPRM: Freedom of Information request - CSIRO Gain-of-Function
research with Wuhan Institute of Virology

Dear Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation

A genetically modified organism's (GMO) genetic characteristics have been
changed by laboratory methods to create a genetic sequences that would not
otherwise be found in the genome.

Australian media claims CSIRO collaborated in Gain-of-Function research
with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.  This institute is notably governed
by the Communist Party of China.

CSIRO should have performed robust due diligence before approving public
funds to GMO and/or Gain-of-Function research undertaken in collaboration
with any laboratory governed by the Communist Party of China.

Acting under the auspices of the Commonwealth Freedom of Information Act I
hereby request a copy of the risk assessments, due diligence and bioethics
assessment documents relied upon to grant CSIRO approval to collaborate in
GMO and/or Gain-of-Function research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Yours faithfully,

Jaay-H
