While that's no doubt true, I've never heard of such a thing in Australia. But if it had happened, they would've had an ethics approval (albeit a broad one) rather than done the research without it

Yes. But if that's the case, how do they have every COVID death in the country in a database?

I should say - it's *possible* but I'm very skeptical. Public hospitals (where all Aus COVID cases have been treated) aren't governed independently here - they are run by area services governed by the state. 5 hospitals implies at most 2 area services, which means max 2 states

And this sort of project would almost certainly need the state minister's sign-off. So they've got an existing arrangement with 2 state governments that allows them to extract potentially reidentifiable data from Aus hospitals and send it overseas? Hard to see it happen here

It does tho. Federal and state govts confirmed they didn't send the data! Since all data is public data (I.e. theirs) that means that we can say with some certainty that this isn't Aussie data
