Businesses are angry about the Ministry of Health requisitioning Rapid Antigen Tests for its own stocks.  
When news broke that the Ministry was requisitioning the tests, Dr Ashley Bloomfield said they were from forward orders from overseas - not tests already in the country.  
But the Ministry has backtracked - acknowledging it took the full February allocation from one manufacturer, along with its stock on hand in the country.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
