Both companies introduced restrictions in their Victorian stores on Wednesday, after a surge in the number of coronavirus infections in the state. "We have plenty of stock for all of us, so we encourage our customers to buy only what they need and think of others in the community as they shop this weekend."The sooner we see buying patterns return to normal levels, as was the case throughout May and most of June, the quicker we'll be able to wind back limits."

hahah I use the Australian and Murdoch's telegraph in the dunny

We are doomed- who *are* these people?

Silly skippy’s🤣🤣🤣😷😷👇

Oh shit!

Why? didn't these morons learn anything the first time around. No cure for stupid I guess.

HOW EMBARRASSING

A bunch of ss-wiping winners there

I went to Coles today in Goulburn to get carrots & something easy for my boys dinner tonight. And toilet paper. BECAUSE WE HAVE NONE! Most people I saw checking out had at least two 24 packs, a lot had more. There was not 1 pack left on the shelves. Jerks!

It's the media driving up prices again through panic it's not going to run out idiots

No the bloody shelves were empty our way today. Absolutely stupid people. Toilet paper is Australian made guys.

Bath tissue?

AUSTRALIA. PLEASE.

THERE WAS NO PANIC FOR WEEKS AND NOW YOU, THE MEDIA, ARE TRYING TO START THE PANIC AGAIN!!!

Bullshit. All the toilet paper everyone bought up is still stacked in their lounge room.

Oh for goodness sake why a national limit!! Here in WA that is soooooo unnecessary!! Make it Victoria if you need to but leave the rest of us out of it will you Coles Woolworths

I've been to 4 different supermarkets over the week, between my work and home and the toilet paper shelves are fine.

They just have no brain buying toilet paper you would thought they would no there is no need to panic dickheads

VICSSR lol

Australians really are stupid.. why do we feed these people..

GuyRegan1 the second wave has hit 😂

Maybe Woolies /Coles are doing it like before. Witholding stock? Sales are down. Forced panic? Woolies sold it in their pensioner boxes. Do they want to sell their boxes again? Fake shortages?

What is it about covid-19 & toilet paper? They clearly have a relationship going on that most of us are not aware of.

WHY waste money on Toilet rolls. All your problems solved just buy bidet. No cue required. Buy up now before australianbidet pandemic kicks in.

🤦‍♀️

It doesn't appear to be helping! I ordered my fortnightly shopping which arrived yesterday minus the toilet paper!

Hoarding Idiots striking again!

You'd think woolworths 2nd Tim around would be prepared

The people who are panic buying toilet paper are Full of Shit

The Media spread more Propaganda then Goebbels ever did

Australia's average IQ hasn't been improved by the lockdown 🤦🏻‍♂️

MSMWatchdog2013 I simply don't understand why the masses have determined that the one important thing, the one essential thing, in a pandemic that needs to be hoarded is ... toilet paper.

Saw that selfishness coming along again from a mile away!

🤦🏽‍♀️calm down people 😖

Looking at the baboon face is depressing. This bunch of idiots don't learn because they don't want to learn and then they say that we are discriminating against them. Have a look at their actions! auspol

Can some one pls explain why....idiots

Yeah coz everyone got the runs before. Why are Australians so fricken obsessed with toilet paper? It's embarrassing.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi Check Coles & Woolies online updates. The body of ABC online news article re this appears 2 say there r nationwide limits being introduced on other items, too, by Coles but that's not what Coles online says - only Vic & NSW border. Please check.

Oh shit, here we go againnn! 🤦🏼‍♀️

So panic buying has started again seriously those who panicked brought last time wouldn't they have enough already

Well that’s a relief.

I don't understand it. Why do people think that toilet paper will save them from the coronavirus?

This just proves there is no intelligent life on Earth.

Nationwide? Why nationwide when it's only Victorians who are going crazy because they have a Covid spike. Our supermarket shelves were looking almost normal here in regional Queensland, so are we now going to be deprived of our choices because one state goes bananas?!? 😕 Dumb!😬

Why nation wide? It’s Victoria who can’t follow the rules🤦‍♂️

What a joke Australians look stupid yet again and we think America is bad 😂😂😂

Why is this nationwide when two states are struggling with outbreaks? It’s like putting all the kids in the naughty corner when only two were misbehaving.

What the eff is bath tissue? Are we to coy to say toilet now?

Why cos they aren’t selling any? Nothing better than the sales tactic, fear of loss!

Australia is cooked.

Can't understand Aussies and their fascination for toilet paper, haven't had the need in this house for decades. Ever thought of installing Asian style bum guns?

Here we go again

Omg why are people so stupid 🤦‍♂️

May be it’s time to go the Indian way of keeping the ass clean 😝😜😄😆

Here we go. Bait the spin.

Normies will freak out again.

Bath tissue... stupid reporting ...

A closer look at the people buying it all

Calling bullshit, trying to get people to spend money fir the precious economy. Manufactured media hysteria

Oh FFS, what the F$ is wrong with people. Some people are as dumb as bat shit.

Bwahahahahahaha!!!

Sorry for the toilet papers 😬, got rid of me once, not again!

People going stupid again

I’m not missing out this time - let’s go shopping.

This video is the current situation of a hospital in Beijing.We need to be careful that they stock up again and ship to China.

What about all the toilet paper everyone panic bought before? Surely they were all stocked up for at least a year!

Good.

PATHETIC!!!!!

they can always

This is PURELY media driven. No one was panic buying until three days ago when the media decided to run a story about one or two stores with increased purchases of toilet paper.

thanks, idiots.

*has Costco pictured

Looks like a Costco picture.

sigh. here we go for round 2

What’s goi g on Australia 🤷‍♂️🙄
