The Victorian Labor Government has promised that the state will support locally manufactured rapid antigen tests (RATs) for secure supply in the midst of the Labor Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese’s campaign for free RATs manufactured in Australia.
The Labor government released a statement on Feb. 2 stating that the government will support a manufacturing facility and innovation hub in Victoria if the TGA approves.
