Hours later, NSW Police acting inspector Andrew New said such violence"won't be tolerated" and warned violent shoppers could end up before the courts.
"It's just bad behaviour by people that are panicking and there is just no need for any of that panic because there is sufficient supplies," Inspector New said on Saturday.Truck full of toilet paper catches fire on Brisbane bridge, as coronavirus-inspired toilet paper shortage continuesPolice say no arrests have been made thus far, but officers are working to identify two women involved in the altercation.
We’ve implemented a 4 packet limit on toilet paper to ensure more customers can access stock. The vast majority of products in our range remain available & we're working hard with our suppliers to ramp up production & deliveries to restock shelves ASAP.
What I do not understand is that 61 million people were infected by US Swine Flu & 12,500 people dead from it with no media overplay hype. Why is the media over playing this Coronavirus issue causing unnecessary panic such as this toilet paper rush? Thank you scare monger media.
They obviously all had the SHITS 😂
Living proof that there are people who would have voted for our absurd COALition last May. Whether they'll still vote for them remains to be seen; surely there's a threshold, even with the deplorables.
You don’t have food, you don’t have poo!
ppl are so stupid 🙄
Toilet paper rage and climate catastrophe rage, so many similarities.
Just shows how society is gone completely stupid. In fact a lot of them were brought up by stupid people.
Darwinism in action..
Who runs Fartertown ? Master Blaster runs Fartertown !!! toiletpaper toiletpaperpanic MadMax Thunderdome
Oh please stop sensationalising this.. You are making it worse
ToiletPaperHysteria Woolworth and Coles should limit buyers to 1 pack per person but they are making good money to do that. They don't care about the risks that Panic Buying can expose. Public safety seems to be ignored
People are animals!
Imagine how these fat little suckers would act in a food shortage.
I don't see garden hoses selling out
Two nans enter! One nan leaves!
Qldaah I’m totally baffled by the reason for obsessing over toilet paper. Food I can understand. Loo paper, no. 🤷🏻♀️
Toilet paper has no nutritional value, no matter how many rolls you eat.
Or war of the world's
The black hulk vs the Lorna Jane pinup. A fight for the ages
Qldaah This is the incompetent Morrison's fault for trying to be a hero with his management of the coronavirus. Everything he does ends in failure.
I don’t take this as a fight for toilet paper, it is a fight against greed. Women said she only wanted one pack. If you got 5 and I need one, we def fighting bruh
would be so much more interesting if someone added lightsabers. toiletpaperpanic
b_spectabilis Apparently both families poo a lot 💩🤷🏼♂️
Since this trend started about 4 days ago I went to woolworths and got one (6 rolls) and I didn't even open it yet because I got few rolls at home! So stop this fking madness you ppl embarrassing yourself internationally
b_spectabilis It's one supermarket out of almost 7000 across the country. Don't overstate the issue, the media is a big part of the problem.
We South Korean are suffering serious Covid19 outbreak but none of the people here do what they did. Why toilet paper?Why snatching up essential food items piling high in your house disregard of others need? It’s a difficult time for everyone but such selfish move is unacceptable
These people should apologise to Australia..very disgusting. Why can’t we have good behaviour.Heaven help us if there was a serious shortage . 😡
coronavirusaus The gift that keeps on giving. I'm generally excited for what tomorrow may bring!!!!!
Why is there so many negative generalisations about em, large people? Self control personal responsibility? Not in isle 11!
you have these people who beat eachother up for paper which will be flushed down the loo anyway ! Is it really worth a police record !omg the world has virtually gone crazy when this is even news worthy & a police problem 😲🙄🤦
These are isolated incidences. Most people behave well and have only got extra essentials because we were told it was a good idea in case we need to self quarantine. The problem is when most of the population does it of course the shelves become bare.
Hmm, I wonder how we will behave in the face of a real cataclysm. No, no I don’t wonder at all.
GailCoastie Un-bloody-believable!!!👹
Can ppl stop blaming non white migrants already... Racism
Such disgusting behaviour the mother and daughter who clearly broke the rules should be charged with assault
Can we get to the - bottom end - of this piece & get some post-fight commentary from the fighters?
Are you serious.
Suburban food stores were manic today. I was remarking it was like Christmas or Easter then I noticed a lot of anger, a man shouting angrily at an old lady, car horns sounding off signalling the impatience of drivers with normal car park rules. Not nice.
Part of me thinks this is a bit of guerrilla marketing. In poor taste, but getting attention. I struggle to believe actual hoarding or fighting over loo paper is actually happening.
I’m glad that, if you had to resort to violence, it was over something so worthwhile. Proof that the veneer of civilisation is wafer then. William Golding would feel vindicated.
This is crazy. People might die of stupidity rather than coronavirus
This fucking country...
When you wash all the pc crap away it’s just humans doing what we’ve always done. We are a chaotic species with a penchant for kicking rivals in the face when our survival is threatened. This is just par for the course. Civilised society can’t last forever.
Because, if and when this gets out of hand, the police will be powerless...
How long before a selfish bogan with the moron virus takes a dump in a supermarket aisle? It honestly can't be ruled out. COVIDー19
Darwin awards.
When Pythagoras made his bow (Homer wrote his too) Shelley sat by a tree and there was 'Adonais' ... the modern world gets out her internet and sees 3 tackling girls fighting for toilet paper in a supermarket that likely such ignorance made the problem in the first place.
Bogans. How embarrassing
WONT SOMEBODY SPARE A SQUARE!!!
Omg it’s only toilet paper, panic buying gone wrong
Way to embarrass yourselves on an international scale - could you be more pathetic ?
Do you think we could be a bit careful of racially profiling people panicking about toilet paper, and include images of Caucasian people doing exactly the same thing. Plenty exist.

Cops taser and charge man over toilet paper 'assault' in Big W storeA NSW man has been tasered by police after getting into an argument with staff over toilet paper at a Big W store. 9News And did he still get his bog rolls? Nine is a gossip magazine. They prefer gossip because they refuse to hold this government to account. Nine held a Liberal party fundraiser before the election. It's hard to resist a good back scratch. Scummo has good fingernails i reckon. Legend 👍
