Only the local division of a Yank owned company stupidly shutdown all it's local manufacture and setup cheap China imports in it's place, a GM tactic, they'll be bust within a month and the local makers will be booming!
A relative told me there were people queued at the Coles checkout yesterday with trolleys full to the brim of bulk dunny roll packets, like a Vesper overloaded with bamboo in India! Cynically she asked if they were sending them to China!
Watch the current suppliers and supermarkets take advantage of all this retail stupidity, next week dunny rolls, long life milk, handsanitiser, baked-beans, etc., etc., will be twice the price they use to be!
Because I have connections in the industry I saw this coming, I went out and added handshower(Bidet) type nozzles to the home cisterns, now even they have tripled in price, as people desperate for a guilt free decent crap resort to buying hand towels or finding a use for those old phone books!
No paper towel or tissues either, all sold out.....check the bark on your trees, reckon that might be gone by morning too..
Been a run on Panadol too, think some chemists might be cutting down purchases to one pack only..
