Interviewer: “Just on the test kits, why is it that there are 2 Australian companies, manufacturing these kits in our own backyard they’ve been supplying the UK and the US and yet they still don’t have TGA approval. Why is that and were’ relying on 16 of the 22 TGA approved companies that manufacture out of China? Why aren’t we using these Australian made manufactured kits?”

Hunt: “So um we did have an Australian coy that is tga approved and suppling. There are others who actually only either just applied to the TGA – there is one who has spoken a lot in the press – hadn’t applied to the TGA until very recently, and still hasn’t completed its application.
There are 66 approved tests in Aus, more than in the US but if someone does not apply, and we have had multiple conversations with them through the TGA encouranging them to apply, um then, obviously by law the TGA…<line cut out briefly>..have um even though they have 66 approved tests they still don’t have one from either of those two companies. And so we are urging them to do what every other of the 66 sponsors have done and just to provide that data, and we’ve done it really quickly because we want all of these done.
But one of those was suspended by the FDA, the US medical regulator, with a Class 1 suspension which is a potential threat to life, and their tests um were suspended for a period of time and so understandably the TGA is saying we’d like to see the data.”
