Are you free for lunch on Friday June 26, 2026

Dear ,

6 years ago you signed an open letter to Australian governments about COVID lockdowns that we coordinated, so I thought you might be interested in participating in this round table we are running in Brisbane to discuss an approach to International Health Regulations, and in particular the WHO.

Professor Ramesh Thakur, Emeritus Professor at the Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU, and a former Assistant Secretary-General to the UN, and Dr David Bell, formerly of the World Health Organization and previously Director of Global Health Technologies at Intellectual Ventures Global Good Fund have established an International Health Reform Project (IHRP) which they want to discuss with interested parties.

They will be in Brisbane on Friday June 26, and we are hosting a round table lunch starting at 12:00 for 12:30 in the boardroom of Red Fox Advisory, Level 15, 324 Queen Street, Brisbane.
 
The IHRP consists of two complementary reports published under the theme: “The Right to Health Sovereignty”. Both reports, along with a one-page Policy Brief, can be freely downloaded in pdf form at: https://internationalhealthreformpanel.org/reports.

There is also a memorandum, which I have attached.

We will be providing sandwiches and refreshments.

Can you let me know if you are interested in attending as soon as possible? Places are strictly limited as this is meant to be a high level discussion, and the timeframe for organising it is tight, so I need to know who is attending by the end of this week. 

If you are unavailable but have a suggestion for someone else suitable who might be available, please let me know.

My telephone number is 0411 104 801, or email me graham.young@aip.asn.au.

Kind regards,

GRAHAM YOUNG
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE FOR PROGRESS
