Rob7Scott Lack of foresight from State/Federal Government’s: 1. Vaccination rollout, 2. RAT( Rapid Antigen Test ) . We have always been 20steps behind . This why we should never destroyed our manufacturing industry by both private companies & unions. Shameful state.JS

Rob7Scott So America has ordered 500 million RATS and there manufacturer say they will take some time. My guess is our 100 million order will take a lot longer too. America has the same supply issues as Australia. So why does ScottyThePathologicalLiar think that our orders will be on time

Rob7Scott How will this be “rolled out”? If it’s via pharmacies how will going to multiple pharmacies be stopped? You can’t give pharmacies access to any sort of national database to see who’s had what. Massive security & privacy breach. I guess he will privatise it. Like the app

Rob7Scott Obviously.

Rob7Scott Shore up*

Rob7Scott Is there a limited tests per person? Can the seniors get free ones for family?

Rob7Scott Surely workplaces & workers are in desperate need atm Even if the Gov supplied free for 3 months to get on top of this crisis

Rob7Scott As if u can believe anything ScottMorrisonMP says. AlboMP has caught Morrison my times on lying. Lets pray we get a better Gov n PM at the next election.

Rob7Scott and those with concession cards will be selling those kits to the desperate public with the markup 💀

Rob7Scott I don't mind paying but what about the rest of us

Employers push to ease COVID-19 restrictions on more than 1 million workersThe employers also aired their frustration at a chronic shortage of rapid antigen tests despite federal government assurances that it would supply 10 million tests to the states over the coming weeks. CroweDM Which proves once again that employers are motivated by greed.

‘Urgent’: Surprise move on RATsThe federal government has quietly made a surprise move on rapid antigen tests, just days after making a bold call. Why are Feds taking Rapid tests at the border, sourced & purchased by Private Sector? How am I meant to use them for staff when the Feds have taken my ordered stock delaying my delivery until more are sourced? Is this how they are procuring those 200m tests they didn't plan for? A FailedPM and Treasurer ScottMorrisonMP and JoshFrydenberg Failed to plan - tried to BS and the Mob worked out how LiberalAus defraud Australians - robbed the country from a successful reopening after we followed the rules I have looked for the tenders on the Aus gov tender site. Can't see them. Can you provide a link?

Retailer shocked to learn her order of RATs will be sent to the federal government insteadSome individuals and retailers are being told their orders of rapid antigen tests have been delayed and the supply is being diverted to meet a federal government mandate. Frontline healthcare workers take risks everyday, can't get RAT's & queuing for PCRs our politicians in well paid low-risk jobs are very well taken care of. ABC Breakfast New.MPs in NSW get 20 free rapid antigen tests per week! Stealing orders in transit so they can cherry pick the companies and ones they choose to receive that benefit them the most, If someone pays for something online it belongs to them, Not even the respect to let them know, shame on our leaders that continue to let us down

Retailers claim the Australian government is seizing COVID-19 RATs they've orderedPharmacists, retailers and healthcare workers are alleging the Australian government is seizing rapid antigen test supplies they ordered weeks ago, often 'at the point of import', leaving them with nothing. It’s okay, it’s just Jen shopping around for her and Scott’s personal supply. Amanda mustn't be in a marginal seat RATRort IHateScumo Something about RATs and sinking ships...
