This could be our chance to UP our manufacturing & exports
Local production is "gearing" up and just got this in the mail from one of the supermarkets.
For example, the makers of Kleenex are now manufacturing 24 hours, 7 days a week at their Millicent, SA factory, as are Sorbent in their NSW and Victorian facilities. And the makers of Quilton have tripled their normal production across their factories in Queensland, NSW and WA.
Itโs worth noting that the vast majority of products arenโt affected and most stores arenโt seeing significant shortages. But to make sure everyone has access to essential items, weโve introduced some common-sense limits to a few products. Weโve limited toilet paper to 4 packs per transaction and large packs of rice (2kg and over) to 1 per transaction. Where available, hand sanitiser is now at the Customer Service Desk and limited to 2 per transaction.
Our town obviously is one off the ones affected as our local Woolies store only had three packets of
the don't buy carpy ones left.
It was so funny following in one lot that I knew would go to that section and they walked out with
two of those carpy ones.
