Contractual obligations, must then be published.

Above and beyond the political shenanigans.

If the Australian Government entered and signed into a contractual agreement that stipulated a delivery schedule.

That contractual agreement has to be honored.

Meanwhile Russia has put geopolitical rivalries aside and has been exporting it's highly effective Sputnik vaccine to countries that need it.

No-one in the free world wants shoddy Russian vaccines. Russia cannot be trusted.

I’d sooner trust Russia to run a doping free Olympics than trust the Russian vaccine.

Like hording food during a famine.

Meanwhile Russia has put geopolitical rivalries aside and has been exporting it's highly effective Sputnik vaccine to countries that need it.

On the contrary, Russia is using the vaccine and current situation to stir geopolitical issues, especially with EU. And providing documents about SPUTNIK-V on mail.ru or yandex cloud to scientists? Lol. The vaccine may be good, the scientists behind it are without a doubt true professionals. But using the vaccine as a propaganda tool is immoral, to put it lightly.

Are the opinions above founded in scientific evidence or just plain bigotry?

They're founded in Putin.
