Coronavirus outbreak: Police are investigating an apparent fight over toilet paper at a Sydney Woolworths store as Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos calls for calm

Police are investigating an apparent fight over toilet paper at a Sydney Woolworths store as Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos calls for calm.

Footage captured by a shopper in Chullora and circulated on social media on Saturday shows Woolworths staff intervening in the dispute between three women and urging those involved to "back off right now" from a trolley stacked with jumbo packs of toilet rolls.Credit:"I just want one pack," a shopper involved in the fracas says to another woman at the helm of the overflowing trolley.

"There has been relief support available to those individuals if they have required [it]. So I want to reassure Victorians that if they do get advice and they need to self-isolate and they don't have sufficient food and other things that they will need, and they don't have family networks or [the] ability to get food delivered to them, we will not leave them in the lurch," she said.

This is hilarious

SMH always reports meaninglessness but with racism, I feel uncomfortable with the photo you posted.

So much talk about male violence! The sisterhood is just as violent!

Review Australia immigration policy otherwise all trash come to Australia

Imagine the behaviour if there was a biscuit shortage.

Farking ferrel muppets!

Folks should prep when items are plentiful & on sale......not run around like idiots blaming ScottMorrisonMP when they are scarce.....Kleenex 3-in-1 was just $4 for a 9 pak two weeks ago.

And the footage is out there forever. They'll be able to look back with embarrassment - as will their relatives.

I think the humiliation is enough for these women.

This is disgusting. I'd like to buy a 2 two pack of toilet paper. I ran out a couple days ago and can't find any. Not happy about this. 🤬

A Labor MP has to come out and do the right thing. The LNP Govt f**ked Australia during the fires. This has already been bad, I certainly wont get any better

Is this the same Police Force's that investigated ANGUS & the other bull ---- paper trail to Telegraph I'm not with confidence that with video recording & public ridicule. Any action will follow

Such a Non Stellar Job this LNP are doing. Another Failure

toilet paper wars.

The scum of the world tend to be the most desperate.

Tobacco tax does ‘create a better health outcome’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says the reason smokers are continuously hit with higher and higher taxes is because “they have no political representation, no one will fight for them”.\n\nMr Murray said “we didn’t tax led paint, we banned it, we didn’t tax asbestos, we banned it” but tobacco won’t suffer the same fate because tobacco taxes raise $14 billion in revenue.\n\n“We’ve hit the point where the price is not a disincentive anymore”.\n\nDeputy Lord Mayor for the City of Sydney Linda Scott told Mr Murray the tobacco tax does in fact create “a better health outcome”.\n\nImage: Getty Actually the Greens policy is to decriminalise all drugs, which is an evidence based policy. But people don't vote for evidence based policies, they vote for Clive Palmer, war and climate change. Just say to them its a down payment on future medical costs. The IPA fights for them Paul.

The cost of the Australia's public health response to coronavirus could be as high as $1 billionThe Morrison government has struck a deal with the states and territories to bear the health costs of COVID-19 on a 50/50 basis. Thats funny, cos Scotty 100% let in but will only pay 50% of health costs. What about medical staff that have to self quarantine because an infected person attended their facility without pre-notifying, like the 15 people at Mater hospital not able to work for the next 2 weeks? Is that a cost they wear themselves?

''I have to say I'm absolutely flabbergasted that the doctor who has experienced flu-like symptoms has presented to work.'' - Health MinisterBreaking: A Toorak doctor who has tested positive for coronavirus consulted about 70 Melbourne patients for five days while infected That is not acceptable as he is a doctor. Could we have skype, or facetime type consultations with our GPs (for other illnesses) to minimise coming into contact with medical staff? 70 in five days Country Doctors would see 70 by early after noon on day one. Toorak Doctor is lazy or actually taking great money from each Consultation And doing a proper check Although having not healed ONES SELF. questions are there
