In an extraordinary seven-minute tirade, a high-profile Australian television host has accused New Zealand of "backstabbing" Australia and "sucking up" to China by staying quiet on concerns about a World Health Organization (WHO) report into the origins of COVID-19.

Newshub first reported on Thursday morning that New Zealand didn't join its partners in releasing a statement on the WHO report as it wanted more time to analyse the study.

Nearly two-thirds of Kiwi adults managed to find silver linings to last year's strict level 4 lockdown, over and above eliminating local transmission of COVID-19, according to a new study.

The six-letter word is a call for a new four-country partnership or, as he calls it, a pact: “The world needs Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom to express our shared values and commitment to rule of law.” Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong concurs, as suggested in the readouts of his recent conversations with the Australian and New Zealand High Commissioners to Canada.
