It turned out that there was only one positive outcome from Tony Blinken's recent trip to Australia. While waiting for Blinken's press conference to start an ABC (the Australian ABC, not the American ABC) foreign affairs reporter, Stephen Dziedzic, flat out admitted on hot mic that he dismissed the lab leak theory for strictly ideological reasons. Dziedzic also seemed quite irked that Sky News reporter Sharri Markson turned out to be absolutely RIGHT about the origin of COVID as due to the Wuhan lab leak. He acted as if Markson was just lucky but as Markson revealed, she did something the liberal Dziedzic failed to do namely her homework of deep investigative journalism.
That hot mic admission was carried on major stations around Australia and Dziedzic's current location is unknown although he is suspected to be digging a hole deep in the outback in order to hide in shame.

The evidence was there in mid-2020 for those willing to see it and admit its probable significance:

Personally, I think I turned away from the "wet market" origin narrative in spring 2020 and started leaning toward the lab-leak explanation around the same time. But I wasn't blinded by the Hate-Trump potential in Covid.

I'm surprised he didn't go with the left's usual mantra of "We were going by the best information available at the time".
