Woolies have reinstated a two pack limit on toilet paper and paper towel after Sydneysiders followed yesterday's the trend in Melbourne of stocking up. At a press conference in Canberra, Mr Morrison repeated his earlier blunt warning to selfish shoppers: "Stop it, it's ridiculous."

Virgin Australia has been saved and hopes to resume flying next month, although it's workforce could be cut from 10,000 to 6000 employees.
