Who’s making the big bucks on RATs?

The world has gone crazy for rapid antigen tests. Schoolchildren will be tested twice a week when school returns; some people are even asking their friends to show a negative test before they’ll socialise with them.

So who’s making all the money? Millions of tests are flooding the market. Michael Roddan is a journalist at the Australian Financial Review. He says it’s a handful of Australians and Australian companies making the big bucks.

There are tens of millions of RATs right across the country. It prompts the question, who is making all that money? And what will happen to all the tests if Covid, as we all hope, is assigned to history?
