As Australia gets closer to setting up its own CDC it should be written into its DNA that it will never, NEVER be able to prevent or overrule or control the abilities of regional expertise to rapid, flexibly & independently develop & use tests.
That agile independence was one of the key first tools that set successful countries like us apart from others. That changed shortly after as other things distinguished us. But one of the first and best successes was our expert lab network's ability
to quickly and independently develop tests for the virus and to talk about them. That must never be endangered by any centralised control. Seriously. I'm not kidding. No overarching person or few people in one Org should ever have that power in Aus.
