One problem here Mary-Louise - RAT's have become the new toilet paper, everyone is stocking up. Making them free will only make it worse, they will be grabbed in bulk and resold anywhere in the world, just like A2 milk powder. Simply regulate a price on them

Can't even buy one at the moment even if we can pay. Before the rules change the Government should ensure there are plenty of supply

“Charity's plea for 500 rapid antigen test kits a week for the most vulnerable goes unanswered”. Further evidence the Australian and NSW governments weren’t actually preparing to “live with COVID” as promised. It was just spin. abc.net.au/news/2022-01-02/s…

this does not make sense..
Replying to @MarylouiseMcla1
That'd be a valid point. Perhaps. IF there was an available supply of them.

RAT tests have been made publicly available to everyone by the federal government through the states via the public system correct me if I am wrong. How is that class based, private distributors are price gauging and you call most Australians privileged.

We can’t get rapid tests in the Whitsundays and the small local hospital is turning people away for testing today due to overload. With so many tourists here we are being over run
