Scott Morrison has defended the government not ordering enough rapid antigen tests, as thousands called for them to be made free for everyone.
The prime minister claimed health officials did not advise him that RATs would need to be widely used before the outbreak of Omicron during summer.
"At no point prior to the onset of Omicron ... had any health advisory body, any chief medical officer, any health department ... or any department had a recommendation that the government should be engaged in rapid antigen testing," he told question time on Monday.
