Stop the Panic Buying of Toilet Paper Before It’s Too Late

The issue

Due to Coronavirus, there is a worldwide toilet paper “shortage” in supermarkets. This must stop. As is well known, there is an abundance of toilet paper, being created in Australian factories. Everyone, from the smallest child, to the most elderly  is effected by this. We need to make it stop. It is clear that because of others decisions to bulk buy toilet paper, the people who are not the fastest, the strongest, and the richest, miss out. 

It is extremely unlikely that Australia will run out of toilet paper during COVID-19. Although toilet paper is an important item, in the very unlikely event that it does run out, there are numerous supplements, such as tissues, paper towel, newspapers and magazines, and as a very last resort, leaves. 

People must stop bulk buying toilet paper. It is only fear that drives them.
