Gary Gannon: Remember that. When you are asking other people to retract a statement, remember that false equivalence you made there. People are living in poverty in this country. It is a pathetic excuse that we cannot have free antigen testing for everybody in society for the excuse that was given by Minister for Health yesterday. People are cut to the bone. They cannot be expected to pay for...
