We just ask that people dont panic like this when they go out shopping, NSW police acting inspector Andrew New said. There is no need for it. It isnt the Thunderdome, it isnt Mad Max, we dont need to do that. Violence of this nature will not be tolerated and anyone involved in this behaviour may be committing an offence and find themselves before the court.
There is no need for people to go out and panic buy at supermarkets, paracetamol and canned food or toilet paper. Police said they were called to a Woolworths store at Chullora about 7am after reports a 49-year-old woman had been assaulted.
A video of the incident was shared on social media and showed a small group of women pushing, yelling and fighting over a shopping cart filled with toilet paper.

(7,408 posts)Look at the panic, paranoia, selfishness and chaos being stirred by one virus that has yet to be officially declared a pandemic. How can I expect this species to work together in the kind of cooperative, concerted effort it will take to address climate change in a timely and reasonable manner?
