Former Australian Senator Cory Bernardi presented a piece for Sky News Australia in which he claimed that the agenda behind the COVID panic was for elite Davos billionaires to bring about a "great reset" that would see permanent social and economic changes.

Noting that there is "something unusual about the continuing pandemic panic," Bernardi cited medical experts who "now acknowledge that lockdowns don't work" and asked viewers to "consider if there is another agenda at work."

Indeed, in a recent interview with the Spectator, the World Health Organization's special envoy on COVID-19, Dr David Nabarro, called on world leaders to stop using lockdowns as their primary method of control because they were making "poor people an awful lot poorer."

Bernardi then highlighted comments made by Klaus Schwab, founder and Chairman of the World Economic Forum, who told fellow globalists that COVID-19 had proven the old system to be inadequate and that, "Now is the historical moment of time not only to fight the… virus but to shape the system… for the post-corona era."

"(Mr Schwab) admits that COVID is the new excuse to usher in the Green New Deal that climate alarmists, profiteers and big government have been pushing for years," said Bernardi, adding that "the global response to COVID has been a green socialist's dream."
