They are having problems with the suppliers & logistics.

it's logistics that are the problem ... a coles guy was saying this morning that they've had a 50% increase on their biggest days at christmas ... and they start preparing for christmas six months in advance. This was shoved on them, almost without warning 3 weeks ago and it hasn't let up.

We produce enough food for 75m people, we only have about 25m. If people calmed down there would be more than enough.

Just rang my local butcher to check if I could get some mince .....

they're rationing everything ..... I have an order for 1kg of mince for tomorrow.

They are having problems with the suppliers & logistics.

We have plenty of everything they said ... we won't run out.

BS .... supply & logistics have failed under pressure.

Lucky it's not a military conflict ......... it would be turn the clock back 80 yrs ... war time rationing.

Mind you ... a few more weeks & that's just what it maybe like.

Some serious thought into restarting industries in Australia should be had if we are to learn anything from this.

We produce enough food in Australia to feed three times the population we have.

Don't panic.

I'm not panicking

It doesn't matter that we have enough to feed 3 times our population .... it can't be delivered.

Nothing to apply for here.

so drive to Byron, or tweed, or even Ballina. Don't look for excuses.

None in Byron, Ballina or Casino either, no car to drive to Tweed so haven't looked there. If there ever were 5000 put on they must have been in the big cities. Here where I know people that work at Coles, current staff are talking up the nightfill jobs. Perhaps you think they do FIFO for nightfill.

Found 3 in 3 seconds

one in alstonville ... which I believe is even closer to you. You've not had much practice at looking for work have you?

And none of those are nightfill. Don't have a truck license.

so you can only do nightfill? Cheesy

no wonder you haven't found a job in 10 yrs

and you don't need a truck license to drive a pantek.

local and state legislation prevented deliveries from large trucks outside of business hours. That is changing or has been changed. Qld govt, for example, dropped that law last night now allowing deliveries 24hrs a day if needed. The supply companies will get on top of it sooner rather than later.

the logistic for deliveries will be in chaos spot get a reality check most little shops would only get one big delivery a week....now they are being emptied every day.... maybe speak to your local find out when their trucks next come in.....if you have a pensioner in the home you may get special treatment.. this is where shopping local could benefit you...give it a try.

Where? Besides that most regional towns in NSW & QLD have had their ability to accept rail freight removed .... with line closures & removal of siding/station infrastructure i.e. Goods sheds & station yards.
