Empty shelves in Australia’s supermarkets and pharmacies have resulted from people ‘panic buying’. It started with toilet paper and then spread to many other products. ‘It’s like three Christmases in a row’.

Nightlife on ABC Radio dealt with the supply problems in their program on 25 March.

Of particular interest to us as teachers of Economics and/or Economics and Business are the parts about:

· the psychology of panic buying (from the 6:10 min mark)

· increased prices for some products (from the 24:20 min mark).
