We would not have run out of toilet paper if coles and woolies had done the right thing and increased prices. Now we have people running out of ventilin for example.

Oh, I thought this topic of price gouging was about the return flights for Australians to come back home from wherever they have wondered over the globe!

Why their flights are cancelled only to have to rebook for nearly up to $10,000 each one way to come back home!
Now if they threw in a 6 pack of toilet rolls, might make it more reasonably priced!

Them's the breaks... are citizens returning any less of a hazard than visitors?

Went to Woolies today - the ex's turn to buy for a week.. the only things in short supply were frozen vegetables and I was surprised to see toilet paper... they're putting out a certain amount at a time, so the shelves are always near empty.....

This could be seen two ways - either they are artificially promoting a stampede for toilet paper (god knows why anyone would hoard it) - or they are seriously trying to slow down the stampede by only having a certain amount on the shelves... won't stop the hoarders though, that last... they'll grab what they can on as many trips into Woolies as they and their family can make.... if it's on the shelves it's fair game for repeat buyers who come in and go...

Told yez I saw the same faces every time I went to buy some cheese or milk over the past week or so ...lined up at 7 am ready to go... and how does a supermarket regulate repeat visitors who use different checkouts for each trip or different family members getting the limit and going through a different checkout, so the sum total is five times what is 'rationed'?? They can't.....

Ration card or restoration of sanity is the only solution..... one of the regular faces today said he was buying toilet paper for his son in Sydney and was going down there.... you get that? Why the Hell would anyone go to a core centre for disease like Sydney? Sounds like an excuse for insanity to me....
