Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has described allegations that the Commonwealth was requisitioning rapid antigen tests (RATs) as “categorically untrue,” saying the government “would never do that” and that the tests are being prioritised for vulnerable Australians.
The prime minister’s comments come after suppliers Werko, Star Hygiene, and HiCraft accused the federal government of diverting RAT supplies upon their arrival in Australia, intercepting orders meant for retailers.
