The wealthy may be able to afford RATs but unless they are wearing N95 masks and goggles every time they leave their home they will still catch it from a plebe who can’t. But hey it’s all okay because Hardly Normal are making lots of money selling RATs

On top of whether they're vaccinated, it would be interesting to see the socio-economic breakdown of who goes to hospitals and who dies? There must be enormous amounts of data from the UK and here. Does the social disadvantage in health extend to the pandemic? #democide

The underlying issue is that snotty doesn’t give a RAT’s… he said so in an interview with Annabel Crabb…he didn’t care about Brittany, he doesn’t care about the Biloela family or other refugees… why would he care now..? He’s simply learned NOT to CARE

This is absolutely ridiculous at some point the LNP and Scotty are causing manslaughter... Even America are giving free RAT's ... Scotty's strategy, give them to Harvey Norman to make a profit...WOW #auspol

Unfortunately this is the Coalition Way.....Wealth before Health. Those of us without the wealth have suffered every single time there's an LNP govt.

True. Friend is a delivery driver just making enough to pay car, petrol and personal expenses. He said no way he is buying those RATs, if the government didn't protect him, why should he do the work of the state and protect others?

It seems nothing has changed in society - the rich will always have access to whatever it is to save themselves while the rest of us are inconsequential.

My daughter is a nucmed student and psa in hospital. She can’t believe rats are not free to all, and also hcw should be tested before and after each shift. “Why dad?” “Money…”

So! What’s new Kathryn - absolute standard performance for this dreadful Government! Only equaled by NSW sending INFECTED health professionals back to work thereby breaking a BASIC PUBLIC HEALTH PRINCIPLE! 😭 A watershed for Australian public administration.

I think it is reasonable to provide free RATs but with a cap…I mean some people are paranoid hypochondriacs and will take a test every bloody day if it’s free.
