Australia: Federal government accused of diverting RAT tests

The federal government is being accused of intercepting rapid antigen tests en route to Queensland. Queensland Deputy Premier Steven Miles said “we have another email from a provider” confirming redirection of the tests.

“It is bad enough that the federal government says it’s not their job to assist with rapid antigen tests,” he said. Health Minister Greg Hunt said the claims are untrue and will referred to the ACCC.
