GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Libby Klein is a lawyer, company secretary and governance advisor, working mostly with Not-for-profits and charities.

This led her on a path of discovery, and she now spends most of her spare time researching the World Health Organisation, having figured out that the proposed new powers for the W.H.O., combined with Australia’s emergency laws, will mean the end of functioning democracy in Australia: the W.H.O. will tell us what we need to do in the case of a public health emergency, and we will be legally obliged to comply, with little or no role for our parliaments let alone individual citizens wishing to make their own medical choices. Her conclusion: we must Exit the W.H.O. immediately. Libby has honours degrees in Agricultural Science and Law, and a background in financial services. She is a fellow of the Governance Institute of Australia, a Graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, a member of the Law Council of Australia Charities and Not-for-profits Committee, and honorary legal adviser to the Australian Medical Network.
