Help our Aussie Elderly!

Help our Aussie Elderly!

The issue

I'm petitioning every single Supermarket in Australia to start implementing new trading hours during this pandemic. I want to see our major supermarkets only allowing our elderly in to shop for the 1st hour of the trading day so they get 1st preference of what is stocked on the shelves to make sure they can obtain their normal groceries they shop for.

I worry for our elderly during this time, I'm sick of seeing photos of our elderly with empty trolleys and looking at empty shelves in our supermarkets. 

Our Aussie elderly usually only survive on a small pension and no doubt live with a tight budget, and probably do most of their shopping on their pension day.

Can you imagine how terrifying it must be for them walking into a nearly empty supermarket? Wondering how or what they're going to eat? Wondering when they're going to actually be able to buy food? 

Imagine how great it would be to lift that worry and burden by allowing only them into the supermarkets to shop for the 1st hour?

So please sign my petition to try and make this change happen!

Thank you :)
