Having spent more than $2 billion buying hundreds of millions of rapid antigen tests at the height of the pandemic, Australian states and territories are now having to decide what to do with what's left over, including millions which will expire soon.
In total, state and territory governments purchased at least 518 million rapid antigen tests over the last year —or enough for each Australian to be given about 22.
Leading the way was Victoria, which ordered 210 million tests in total, but Western Australia bought the most on a per-person basis with its 110 million tests equating to 41 for every Sandgroper
As an aside, from next week Victoria has banned "single use" plastics.

Wouldn't advise sucking eucalyptus leaves - they're poisonous!
Speaking of cabbages, Victoria should be known as the Cabbage State. We have that many vegetables "running" the place (instead of the Garden State).
