Who are the Black Market hoarders ?



Dutton says hoarders to be 'dealt with' by AFP, Border Force

Police and Australian Border Force have launched a joint bid to catch individuals and groups suspected of hoarding supermarket goods and selling them on the black market in Australia and overseas amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said he believed the original panic buying of toilet paper and other items in Australia was sparked by profiteers.

"We do have some people who are profiteering, they are hoarding not for their own consumption," he told 2GB's Ray Hadley on Thursday morning.

"I think they are either selling some of the product overseas or they are selling it in a blackmarket arrangement in Australia. I'm going to come after those people and I'll give them a fair warning now: it won't be a pretty experience when we deal with them.

"If people are profiteering out of a national crisis, then they are going to be dealt with."

Asked whether the buying was "highly organised and has a criminal element", Mr Dutton said: "I believe that there is but we are working through that at the moment."

"And [we] will come down like a tonne of bricks on these individuals because I think they're the ones who have created this pattern of behaviour of hoarding and clearing out shelves," he said.


Mr Dutton said the Australian Federal Police, Border Force and state police forces were in talks about how to catch hoarders selling products on the black market.

He said Australians who had photos or information such as vehicle registration numbers of mass hoarders should contact Crime Stoppers.

"We're trying to deal with this issue and make sure that common sense is restored because some irrational behaviour at the moment, as the Prime Minister has pointed out, is unacceptable," he said.

"People who are assaulting somebody or involved in some of the footage that we have seen … are going to be dealt with by the police.

"There is certainly a bigger police effort now across a number of sites where we do have concern."

Mr Dutton said he had recovered from the symptoms of COVID-19, the illness caused by the latest coronavirus, but was awaiting two negative tests before he was allowed out of self-isolation.

The minister, who contracted the disease last week, said it was important for Australians to realise the symptoms could be mild so they should get tested if they believed they had been in contact with someone with the virus.

"I have had nothing more than Panadol, haven't had a fever since I left hospital and ... it's a heavy flu. And I think that's going to be the experience for the vast majority of people who catch it," he said.

Woolworths shoppers in stampede for toilet paper as packs go on sale on Gumtree for $1000
Elizabeth Daoud 7NEWS Wednesday, 4 March 2020 4:46 pm

Frantic shoppers have been seen in a stampede for toilet paper in an early morning rush as coronavirus panic buying continues.

The flurry was filmed at Woolies in Revesby, in Sydney’s south west, where shoppers were seen scrambling to grab packs of toilet paper at 7am on Wednesday.

It comes as Woolworths announced it is implementing a limit on how many toilet paper packs customers can purchase.

“Woolworths has today moved to apply a quantity limit on toilet paper packs to ensure more customers have access to the products,” the supermarket said in a statement on Wednesday.

The limit is at four packs of toilet paper per customer transaction.

What are the wildest things you've heard about COVID-19? Allow us to break them down.

You’ve seen the pictures of shoppers loading up their trolleys with rolls upon rolls of toilet paper – well this is where some of it is ending up.

Some Aussies appear to be reselling toilet paper, hand sanitiser and other products for high prices, in an attempt to profit from coronavirus panic.

Shoppers are using online platforms, such as Facebook Marketplace, to try to sell rolls of toilet paper to those who missed out in store.

Facebook appears to be taking down the listings as they appear.

“Due to the shortness of toilet paper, I have two and a half rolls. I’m selling it for the very cheap price of $150. They won't last,” one person wrote of their listing.
