“Together we can put the nation on a path to progress” ANTHONY ALBANESE
The opposition leader is correct in pointing out the need for our society to pull together if we are to make progress on the many challenging, complex and divisive issues that we face.   Unfortunately, he is still living in yesteryear when community leaders and politicians had enough community credibility to lead people through the disruptive change processes.   To be an effective leader of change today one needs to accept that citizens want to see evidence-based policy and change that has been formulated in conjunction with “people like them” - not just an elite group. Deliberative Democracy processes can achieve this!

Complementary use of RAT's with PCR tests
It's time for authorities to recognise that RAT's (rapid antigen tests, also called lateral flow tests) are very useful and should be made readily available in Australia. RAT's are taken in a similar way to PCR tests, but use technology more akin to pregnancy tests. They are much cheaper and faster.Millions of RAT's were rolled out to households across the UK mid year so that people could take swabs and test themselves at home. The “rapid testing” method allows people to find out whether they are asymptomatic carriers of Covid-19 and can yield results within 30 minutes. Advertising in the UK shows how RAT's are used in conjunction with PCR tests.
