Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has categorically denied claims rapid antigen tests are being taken from Queensland.

Deputy Premier Steven Miles yesterday claimed at a press conference the federal government is “taking our tests away from us”.

“It’s bad enough that they won’t help us, it is worse that they are making our job even harder,” Dr Miles said.

But Mr Frydenberg told Neil Breen there’s no basis for the claim.

“I mean, have you ever heard such bollocks?” he said. “Seriously, where does this guy get off?

“He’s out there trying to throw haymakers the whole time, the problem is he’s hitting himself!

“The states are ordering them, the Commonwealth are ordering, we’re not taking any of the states, these are just completely false claims.”
