Granted Whistler, but it is a bit different when Hoarding in these unusual times, and preying on others so as to profiteer from it- Don't you think. Hoarding for ones own personal use is one thing, but this Guy would have needed to have 10 shits a day for a year, to use up the toilet paper that he bought, either that or he has an unusual Bowl problem.Whistler wrote: ↑April 16, 2020, 4:17 pmPip. The issue of hording has been in Australia for a couple of years now and has been totally ignored by the politicians, it just came into greater public view with this toilet paper crap if you can pardon my pun.
Organised crime has stolen or used 'daigou' to raid supermarkets on an industrial sale. The target has been mostly baby formula which is in very high demand in China. Australian baby formulas fetch top dollar (or shall I say top RMB) in China as it is perceived as being of very high quality.
These gangs bus dozens of Chinese to large supermarkets, they strip the shelves leaving other consumers unable to buy these products. Its been going on for about three years but the pollies have done zip.
As to Organized Crime buying up Baby Power, then why aren't those who are caught and or identified via the store cameras, punished. Or doesn't it matter to anyone. I may be wrong but some of those working for the Organized Crime or Gangs striping the shelves for purpose of pure profiteering are probably on Tourist or other No Working Visas, making money on the side.
Companies, well they love their products being sold in bulk/in a short time, off the shelves. WHY, because they can sell more and charge a higher price for that product. The the ordinary Customer will eventually pay a higher price for his daily use for that product, simply because the Store knows that the demand for it is their, while the Org Crime & Gangs make a profit, off the Customers back. What a great system our Politicians tolerate. Is my assumption wrong??
If so, then to earn money in some working capacity without having the correct visa to do so, would be a breach of their Visa rules. So strip them of their visa and send them home. Is this not what happens when you breach your Visa rules in other Countries. Certainly happens where I am. Violate your visa rules and or commit or be complicit in a crime over here and you are out of the Country for ever, within 48-72 hours over here. I love it and it makes for a pleasant and very safe environment to live in, for a change.
Do we really need these people (the Criminals, Gangs and Profiteers), in our society at these time or for that matter at any time. ??
PS. This one cost USD 40 to someone else
