Summary:

The government is taking more actions to contain the shopping crisis and called people to calm down.
Home Affairs Minister warns shopping crime gangs, he said "We have some people profiteering, hoarding not for consumption and either selling overseas or in black market arrangement in Australia. We are going to come after those people and give them a fair warning now it won't be a pretty experience."
The government is now asking people do not hoarding items because there are more food in Australia and there are no reason to worry.
On other hand the Agriculture Minister asked Australian shoppers to shop as normal and do not stockpile goods,and he said "They need to take a deep breath, have a cold shower and understand that if they shop normally, then the shelves will be stocked normally."
The prime Minister called Australian people to stop panic buying and stop pilfering items from shelves as its "Un-Australian".
"That is not who we are a people. It is not necessary.It is not something that people should be doing".
In that context the supermarkets like Woolworths,Coles and ALDI have taken a more active actions by allowing to customers to buy only two goods from any single with some exceptions where no limits remain, like as fruit and vegetables, fresh milk and baby food.
