Nothing says too little, too late like Scott Morrison saying he’ll give some people a subsidy to buy rapid antigen tests (at retail prices) when you can’t find one to buy.

I’m sure I’m not the first to be confused that we fund a $600m uneconomic donation for a gas power plant at Kurri Kurri that the market didn’t need or ask for…
Yet we have no money for free rapid tests and “the private market should cater for demand”?

Please share!
Are you interested in prolonged sitting, productivity and the goldilocks paradigm? Fancy working with @DrAnjumNaweed @Leon_Straker & @profHoltermann on an @arc_gov_au funded project that includes a generous PhD-scholarship?

Would you like having a paid work where you got fit and healthy by simply doing your worktasks? Lets design productive work for all so it consists of a healthy composition of physical behaviors bjsm.bmj.com/content/52/13/8… @Leon_Straker @profHoltermann

Rethinking our approach to physical activity at work. It’s not just about avoiding injury but having a positive effect on health.
