A point to make is that refineries are usually specialised and can not produce just any end product from any feedAn error on my part in the above - I've left Caltex Lytton (Brisbane) off the list. That refinery is still operating normally.
Sorry about that.
AKA Bum Gun!!Just get the thai style hand bidet which is basically a hose with a trigger nozzle.
I have heard the rumour about the shortage in China, due to masks, but I find it hard to believe it would make sense to send from here with postage costs and size of the object.I also wonder if any of this toilet paper is leaving Australia?
Is it like baby formula and being exported?
Or are people really buying with the intent that it's only for their own personal use?
Thanks for the compiled information. Well drilled down; and definitely interesting seeing the various elements in the hydrocarbon mix.An error on my part in the above - I've left Caltex Lytton (Brisbane) off the list. That refinery is still operating normally
AGL is building a LNG import terminal at Port Kembla, I think.Producing LPG in WA isn't much help if you're in Sydney and there's no means of getting it there
Toilet paper selling on eBay for $10 a roll and people are buying. This is getting ridiculous!

Totally agreed from a rational perspective but if someone’s stuffing entire shipping containers full of it and they can sell it for a high enough price then it could be happening?I have heard the rumour about the shortage in China, due to masks, but I find it hard to believe it would make sense to send from here with postage costs and size of the object.
I saw a sign in window of a local restaurant today:
"Toilet paper not kept on premises"
People were stealing it from pubsI wonder if businesses are having a problem with it actually being stolen by customers and/or staff?
I noticed this at a public toilet I frequently walk past too.People were stealing it from pubs
Just did some shopping, noticed 2 completely different guys walk in the shop separate occasions, direct march to the bog roll aisle.I noticed this at a public toilet I frequently walk past too.
Went in just to check and yep, all toilet paper has gone. The empty rolls are still there, they can't be removed, so it seems that someone has taken all the paper off.
Getting ridiculous yes. I mean if it was food then I could understand that but this obsession with toilet paper is truly ridiculous.
I'm told it has hit London and parts of the US now too.
Toilet paper still in short supply in up our way. Went shopping for the first time since arriving home and after 14 days stuck inside. Woolies has toilet paper and a 1 pack limit. Just about every trolley had at least 1 pack.If it is, my thoughts have led me to considering raw materials used in TP manufacturing.
What is used to make TP ?
Am guessing radiata pine pulp?
F.Rock
This week the local Coles had TP just sitting on the shelves, no mad rushes or people lining up. Lots of people had it in their trollies/baskets but still half the shelf was full. Happened 2 days in a row which makes me think maybe my area has now stocked up enough for 6 months
Edit: Townsville is where I'm based.
Where are you? Our local IGA and ALDI are now fully stocked and Coles is pretty much fully stocked also. I am in Ascot Vale Melbourne.My local shelves are still bare.
I hope many of the parasites selling rolls at inflated prices online have been shut down, I've been trying to do my bit by using the reporting function.
