Independent ACT senator David Pocock has denied he has bought into COVID-19 conspiracy theories after becoming the deciding vote in urging an unspecified inquiry into excessive deaths during the pandemic.
The key crossbench senator on Monday supported a motion by UAP senator Ralph Babet to get the Senate to acknowledge the "concerning number of excess deaths observed in Australia in 2021 and 2022 has continued into 2023 as evidenced by all-cause provisional mortality data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics."
