1:31Now PlayingAustralia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison addressed "false claims" about rapid antigen tests (RATs) as Australians struggle to find the Covid tests amid shortages.
“If you’re being told by a supplier that you can’t get those rapid antigen tests because the Commonwealth government is redirected, it’s not true," said Morrison during a press conference in Canberra Thursday. "While we are aware that there are supply constraints within the market, it is expected supply will normalize in the coming weeks."
Just as Australia re-opens after shutting itself off from the world for almost two years, an already serious worker shortage is being compounded by an explosion of Covid-induced absenteeism. While the outbreak is hurting firms, the outsize demand for employees is providing rare leverage for labor over capital and coincides with unions seeking the biggest pay rises in eight years.
