Doesn't say what their average debt is... so researched and a very in-depth article comes up.. rather scary as well. lets say on average every household is made up of one male and one female than their savings is 56k and debt is nearly 170k.

In 2015-16, around three quarters (74%) of households held debt, and the average household debt of all households was $168,600. The most common form of debt was credit card debt, held by 55% of households, followed by home loans (34%) and student loans (17%).

The largest contributor to debt was home loans, which made up 56% of total household debt. This was followed by other property loans (33%) and investment loans (5%).

Dutton is a fit cycling bastard so he shouldnt have much trouble surviving, still a grub thou.

I grabbed a 36 pack of bog rolls today more by accident, already delivered them to a couple of time poor families who couldnt get to the the shops early enough in the morning.

I would not use hand towels in a septic system. The sewerage might not like it in theirs either but they probably have cleanable strainers. Our septic does not and the towels will clog it over time. We look after it and have been here 20 years and not had to pump.

And funny enough, a lot of us have probably already contracted this virus months ago before it became "the" thing outside of China. Myself and a quite few others in our little village had what doctors described as "just a virus that's going around at the moment." This was back in January , and before they would have been looking specifically for COVID-19.

Went into Aldi this afternoon/evening...

I need some of that soft paper...i dont care for the purfumed pretty scented overly soft stuff that is impregnated with aloe & cleverly embossed for a frictionless glide with maximum stock removal...

Nope...

I just want a pack of fuking toilet paper...

Ok...so im not getting one here...sigh..., i said to myself while staring dumbfounded at the steel shelving with a blank look on my face, wondering what the fuk is wrong with people...

Breathe...

Ok...ill go & grab a can of baked beans &/or spaghetti incase i get away on Sat night for a quick weekend warrior paddock dissecting eye-shine covert operation...
You know...quick snack...easy ramming flavour-filled tummy filler i can just find time for when im not stuck in the burbs & there are guns to shoot...

Well...its been made very apparent to me, that i cant have, nope, not even one can of baked bloody beans...!!!!! :unknown: :twisted:

You see, i went to 2 supermarkets & 2 Aldi stores, & those sections of shelves are empty...
They've been emptied by...well, i dont mean to stereotype here...but emptied by the likes of all the fat bastards i saw walking around in pairs, or threesome's, with at least one trolley each---yes---i said ATLEAST...!!!...filling those said trolley's with instant noodles, long life milk, all my bloody baked beans, and the weeks run from the toilet paper factory...!!!

What the fuk is wrong with you lot...???

No, i dont mean you, who've grabbed a couple extra cans of baked beans...i mean YOU---!!!---who have, as ive said above, loaded up with every fuking carton you can fit in your bloody boot...!!!

You're a buch of idiots...!!!...
If you think thats going to save you in the event of a highly infectious major pandemic while you're couped up in the burbs complaining about what the Govt ISNT doing about your poor health due to your diet, then think again...!!

And i hope when you cant get any protein because you've forced the supermarkets into ration allocations, you smell my roasting goat leg & southern fried rabbit, & stamp your feet in denial while convincing yourself you find some form of solace when 60 minutes & the Project tell you you're being hard done by ...!!!
Idiots...!!... :lol:

And you know what---i hope this is left up for all to read...i dont care if someone is offended at the "social inequity" i seem to be ranting about...
People should take a look at themselves & ask, 'what will happen if this is real...?'...

I am just flabbergasted at the utter greed & incredibly abhorrent attitudes a good number of us seem to have against one another...
We seemingly "band together" when the drama filled media storm is promoting that some experience hardship in the aftermath of the devastating bush fires, but look what happens when they promote even a hint of a spreading infection...and what does this behavior tell us... :unknown:

So...now thats off my chest...can anyone spare a roll or two...seriously...im down to 2-n-a-half rolls & thats including my shooting stash.. :|

Try Bunnings, expensive, but 6 x 300 meter rolls for $75 should keep your ring clean for 6 months or more.

Well...i tried Aldi again after work...

Thought id replace the can of corn i used yesterday ( :shock: :lol: ), & I had nothing organised for dinner...

I thought ill grab a can of tomatoes as well, a pack of snags & a bag of carrots...whip up a nice easy dish of snaggy stew kinda thing in the deep frypan...
That, especially if served with vegies (i love my vegies...!!!...thanks Grandma.. :clap: )...will do me for a good couple of main meals, & the left-overs carry over for a couple of lunch sessions when served on toast too...

Anyway...
Aldi lasagna & frozen chips it is... :thumbsdown: ...because...

The shelves in aldi are bloody empty...!!!...not even cans of corn... :huh:

There was only a few kryovac packs of cheap tendorised pre-marinated steak left at a smidge under $20 a KG...($20/kg for s**t meat tumbled in a commercial chemical flavoured glaze :wtf: :unknown: )

So with this going on...what do people like me do, who dont have a lot of cash, cant afford to stock up with 6 months supply of everything, & are in need of essentials.(..?...)
I feel bad for the elderly / & singles, who dont have family to look after them...

Im beginning to think who here said this is a test for the 'real' thing, is not too far from the truth...

Flutch...you better watch out...might head over your way if things go the sh!tter... :lol:

Maybe you should consider changing stores, cause it sounds like Aldi's is using this virus as an excuse to price gouge.

I dont think its got anything to do with price gouging as the prices are the same...

But the freezers are mostly empty, with the exception of beer battered frozen chips & a few frozen veg.
There would be less than 5% of shelf space with anything on it in meat & fruit-n-veg areas.
All basic grain cereals are gone (cornflakes weetbix etc), no pasta, canned veg or bsked beans, no disinfectant etc.
I cant even find any ammonia or bleach to rehydrate a couple of skins to tan them...ffs...!!

Its bloody ridiculous...even tens to hundreds of people lining up at supermarkets first thing...
Now the elderly get first dibs every day which is good for the ones that cant stockpile...

I wonder where people are putting it all... :unknown: ...and when it will end...

And isnt it funny that if you ask people if they are controlled by the media--they will say NO...

Hey bang bang dont blame me for the goat hunting technique in Tas...ive nothing to do with it...

Also Trekkin...its not just one store...

Every supermarket in my area (there would have to be 10 within 10 mins) is the same...

You cannot get a sausage, 500gm pack of pasta, dunny paper, lamb chop, box of weetbix or can of baked beans or litre of long life milk...
Not even a box of fish fingers or chicken nuggets...

It is seriously, utterly dumbfounding...

I regret giving away so much of my last deer to someone who hasnt even bothered to send even a text msg to thank me for it since...!!
They're probably one of these greedy preppers...!!

Yeah hopefully this s**t spells the end of the urbanite moron hipster lefty. Bout time the world had more to worry about than their psuedo intellectual garb, their gender bulls**t, their constant pestilence about s**t they can't even remotely prove, their arrogance and idiocy. Hopefully this will show everyone else once and for all that the lemmings and tv brainwashed generations, left tards, and other oxygen theives aren't worth the attention they get for even a second

Yes youre right SWM...& im not going on about the sensible people going overboard...

Id hazzard a bet bulk who are ignorant to anything other than mainstream media indoctrination & those halfwits getting into punch-ups at supermarkets are not likely to care about self isolation either...

But then again, who's the stupid one here...probably me for not having the foresight to grab a slab of baked beans, couple boxes of cereal & pasta, & toilet paper 3 weeks ago when i needed it...

Gees could you imagine if our gun ownership laws were like they used to be, sport stores selling guns & scopes, but with restrictions on imports as they are now---every gun store would be a like a John Wayne Western style shoot-out between all of us... :lol:

Just heard a news report that SA Water are having trouble with the sewer system.
Apparently its clogging up with everything from paper towel & newspaper, creating the need for very expensive 'cleaning bills'.

This is obviously all caused from so many people not being able to get hold of toilet paper.

So now SA Water are pleading with people, that if you use anything other than toilet paper, you need to put it in the bin...

And whats funny about that, is to imagine the state of health of the suburbs if that were to hsppen... :lol:

Imagine the buzz around everyone's wheelie bin with all the flies...not to mention the septic stench that would envelop the burbs with clogged sewers & people crapping in bins...

Then there's the black ink streaks up everyones lower back.... :lol:

This gets better every day...!!
