Good grief - amongst the alphabet spag bol.
At $1 a roll - is in anyone's book - profiteering & illegal.
And given the circumstances - shameful.

Repackaging is def illegal - just had a quick google.
And...at $1 per roll it's also price gouging IMO.
In the movie Deep Impact when the world was to face a global crisis, Morgan Freeman (The President) said, "There will be no sudden profiteering". Maybe somebody should show the movie to Mr Morrison, and nudge nudge, wink,wink?

One other possibility is that the venture capital big boys are trying to open up the markets to toilet paper imports by inducing a prolonged shortage
Currently is being partially blocked on environmental related ethical reasons
If this is the case who we win ? Environmental concerns or the need for a convenient and secure supply ?

I was going to take a photo today at the 4Square but did not want to hold the people up waiting out side
Huge Pallet of large loo rolls on Special right by the wine LOL.
I wondered why so many people queuing then realise the line was moving quick because most came out with blocks of beer and bottles of wine.
Shops shut tomorrow good friday.
Went to Chemist for pills and you have to knock on the door and wait out side till some one lets you in.
Managed to get sanitizer and 2 face masks

Joe I paid $20 kiwi for two, got a call from the hospital that they have given me appointment for 4th of May, I want the mask for that visit,
They did say if Lock Down goes on longer they may have to cancel again.
The did assure me I am not on the scrap heap LOL

I want those masks for similar reasons, but declined at that price
sanitiser was reasonable, about $4
