      Could be, but assuming wholesale rates on the tests, 1000 unit per day limit, I daresay many similar companies would pay more than that in daily advertising. Good PR move, brand awareness. I'm guessing their business has been hit as hard as anyone else.

            It's a shame cause my partner's farts are rank, and a week of not smelling them might be nice if anything.

        This is so true. I was in Newcastle quite a bit early last year for work and I noticed how most people there indicate when exiting a round about. I honestly never did it before that as nobody does it in VIC but now I always do it. Makes sense.

                @Lucille Bluth: Which way? I've formed a habit of shouting "wrong indicator moron" every time someone I'm waiting for exits the roundabout with the incorrect ("right" might have been confusing") indicator flashing.

        • 2esc on 27/01/2022 - 08:47

          I live in Victoria and that's how I was instructed here and I thought it was a legal requirement as well. I see very few people doing it.

      • FittyFitty on 26/01/2022 - 11:26

        What do you mean indicate to exit a roundabout; you indicate on entry - once you're in it, plebs gotta wait.. I'll put your suggestion in the 'swerve-left-to-turn-right bucket'.

        • treefidi on 26/01/2022 - 11:34
          +12

          You can also indicate on exit, and it's usually advised on large roundabouts to make it clear which exit you're taking. It's there in the Vic driver's handbook (at least, it was when I was learning many years ago).

        • gimme on 26/01/2022 - 11:43
          +5

          It's a requirement to indicate on exit but most don't bother. Then again most locals still don't understand how hook turn works and treat it as a no arrow right turn. If you happen to be in front and do the RIGHT thing by waiting for the other lights to turn green before turning you will get the inevitable honking by angry idiots who don't know how to do a hook turn.

          It's a legal requirement in Victoria

        • SlickMick on 27/01/2022 - 14:59

          ahh we found one. So if you're turning right, you keep indicating right as you exit the roundabout, and leave me waiting because I assume you're still going around? "Wrong indicator moron!"

            @SlickMick: Yes, just as you would if there was no roundabout; you know, indicate right to turn right.

            Talking about simple, single-lane roundabouts here; big-arse, multi-lane, multi-way roundabouts, different story…

      Your name and address is already in the public domain if you are a citizen and registered to vote. Anyone can go see the electoral roll and find you.

          +4

          This is true. You have to go there in person — it's not online and you can't photograph it but you can take handwritten notes. I've done it myself.

          https://www.aec.gov.au/enrolling_to_vote/about_electoral_rol…

          "An electronic copy of the current electoral roll is available for public inspection at any AEC office."

            @meowsers: You're not allowed to look up people other than yourself in person, either. The role is not to be used for anyone other than yourself or someone you're responsible for assisting.

              @Wolfenstein98k: You can look up anyone you want. I think you are misinformed.

              The whole point of the electoral roll with regards to public access is to ensure a open and accountable electoral process.

            • davebern on 27/01/2022 - 08:48

              @Wolfenstein98k: I agree with meowsers.
              I've gone to the AEC many times to look up other people on the electoral roll. You can find the name and address of people registered to vote in each electorate.
              A simple Google search will confirm this.

  • Savas on 26/01/2022 - 11:22

    i don't get why everyone wants RATs… like if you have symptoms you need to stay home..

    I have been doing RAT twice a week since November but back then nobody was buying them.

    • gimme on 26/01/2022 - 11:30
      +1

      I'm with you. Just getting it because it's free and I can potentially give it to someone who may need it for travel etc. Other than that, it's a no brainer for me. No need to get tested. I'll just stay home for a week if feeling sick. It's pretty much endemic now anyway, it's not that we can stop it. To me it's a bit like toilet paper. In a few months when we have tons of stock and possibly no demand, it'll be discounted at 50% off on Ozbargain and people who paid $$$ will be disappointed. My prediction anyway.

      PS: I managed to order one even after people were saying it's gone for today. So not sure what's going on.

        Not everyone can afford to just stay home for a week. To get government support you need to test positive for covid.

        • gimme on 26/01/2022 - 13:40

          I understand and that's a valid reason. There's probably a few other good reasons too. But I suspect the shortage is due to many others just panic buying for no real good reason.

          A lot of PCR testing sites have closed. People were waiting in their cars for hours to get a PCR test. PCR test results took a day if not longer to come. RATs are now seen as more acceptable/reliable. Lots of reasons.

      like if you have symptoms you need to stay home

      until you receive a negative result.

      If you begin to feel unwell, and have a fever or a cough, sore throat, runny nose, shortness of breath or respiratory illness you should get tested for COVID-19.

      If you test positive for COVID-19 you must isolate at home, away from others. You cannot leave home for any reason, except to seek medical care or in an emergency (including if you are experiencing family violence).

      If you test negative you are free to go.

      I don't have symptoms, I'm a contact. The Vic Gov advice is 5 days of daily RATs. No RATs at our local testing sites. It's just a bit of piece of mind. Do a RAT in the morning, make sure I'm not infecting others in the household or the one time I went out.

      I originally got 7 just in case. Have ordered another 10 as most of them are gone. Hopefully won't need more than that.

    • gimli on 26/01/2022 - 14:21
      +1

      yeah i feel RATs are overhyped/overused too.

      I guess the main benefit is that you potentially don't need to isolate (especially if you mild/vague symptoms which you are not sure whether they are covid related or not)

    • bmerigan on 26/01/2022 - 22:20

      I had symptoms last week. Did a PCR test. Cancelled a few appointments. Received a negative result.
      A RAT would have saved me from cancelling appointments. Handy thing to have on hand.

      • Savas on 26/01/2022 - 22:23

        no.. if your RAT is negative and have symptoms .. you need a PCR.

        • bmerigan on 26/01/2022 - 22:25

          I don't think that's the latest advice. RAT and PCR are equally valid.

            +1

            @bmerigan: RAT is definitely less accurate.. you can google this.

            If you have symptoms please take another rapid antigen test in 24 hours or have a PCR test. If your second test is positive you are considered a confirmed case. If the second test is negative, you should isolate until your symptoms have gone.

            https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/stay-safe/testing/get-tested…

            like im not sure if im taking it out of context but i would definitely still isolate.
