Passing the tests: MPs give RATs to community groups across the region

WHILE it may be a small gesture, community organisations are "eternally grateful" to local members who are donating their rapid antigen tests (RATs).

Last week, as much of the state was searching high and low for increasingly elusive and expensive RATs, the NSW government announced it would be sending 20 testing kits each to 98 electorate offices.
