    Good article in The Guardian today about TGA cracking down on "shonky" rapid test providers, with its analyses provided by The Doherty Institute.

    https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/jan/08/authorities-crack-down-on-inaccurate-rapid-covid-antibody-test-kits-in-australia

    "Health authorities have cracked down on a number of wildly inaccurate rapid Covid-19 antibody test kits being pushed on to the Australian market, cancelling approvals, issuing fines and pledging to investigate one supplier marketing an unapproved device."

    While this does not directly affect ADO, it is relevant to the upcoming ADO rapid test(s) because it shows that TGA is taking its responsibilities very seriously and is "clearing out" the shonky providers, and is not allowing them to claim government approval - the effect should be "clearer runway" for ADO test(s) takeoff.
