Yeah I got to Woolies, today at opening time. Hardly any stock even then, bit of a joke.

Went to the pharmacy later, chaos there as well.

I've been going on about it for about 8 years, there are also risks with globalisation. Read this article, very thoughtful especially the part about starting back production in Australia for surgical gowns. and how no one would complain and also the apart about how now people look to their federal governments and not the United Nations at these times.

We all love going to Bunnings and buying cheap stuff made in China ( well maybe the people on this forum a bit less) but we have to pay the price of having a lot of things produced overseas where we lose lead time in freighting and logistics and we lose an element of control.
