Melbourne had about 5 marginal seats so Scomo needs to get the paper on the shelf , quick.

Its' too late - the next time there's a delivery
hoarders will buy it all.
We need proper rationing.
ScoMo is sitting on his fat arse doing nothing -
he's already lost any chance of me and my friends voting for him.
In the bush fires he took off to Hawaii while people were dying -
he's hopeless as any form of leader.

ScoMo is worthless as any sort of leader in a crisis. The governor general needs to sack him now. - otherwise God help us with such a bungling incompetent in power.

Just got back from Warwick shopping centre north of Perth City - Coles and Woolies were completely sold out of toilet rolls.

I don't need any but I had to laugh when I saw the empty shelves in both stores.

Apparently, Coles are getting more stock either later today or tomorrow morning. If its tomorrow morning I wonder if there will be Boxing Day Sale size crowds outside waiting for them to open? Roll Eyes

Might need to employ extra security to escort people with their shopping trolleys back to their cars if they do manage to buy some toilet paper. Grin

friend of mine works for coles .. supply isn't an issue. They'll just refill the shelves every night, and idiots will empty them every morning.

I posted a news link that said stock up...but they rattled off a full list. Guess you could say that some Australians are extremely shytty about the corona virus. Unbelievable really.

My Woolies/Coles is showing 2 days. Imagine what will happen when people start actually getting sick!

BS. If this takes off home delivery will be stretched to the limit.

Yes.

Coles and Woolworths workers are always stretched to the limit.

You'll still be able to get deliveries.

There's no need to panic.

You're over reacting.

Chill out.

This is current for Coles now, in East Subs Sydney. Nealy a week.
Fkcu. Imagine if someone with a young family took your advice.

People piled trolleys 2 meters high with dunny paper and they were allowed to buy it
in the previous few days.
I can’t believe that the supermarkets didn’t stop them and the ScoMo
didn’t introduce emergency powers to stop hoarding.
This country is train wreck and that has me very depressed.

I just can’t believe how stupid our so called leaders are.
They are morons and the average person doesn’t give a toss about anyone else –
they only care about themselves as there was enough for everyone if they didn’t start hoarding 100s of toilet rolls.
