The Dancing With The Stars host has said he witnessed a gang of coronavirus preppers ‘raiding’ supermarkets in his hometown of Bathurst, 200km west of Sydney.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Grant ranted: ‘This is crazy. We live in Bathurst and we had two busloads of people from Sydney storm the town and raid our three supermarkets. Which were already depleted.
The TV star lives in the regional town with his wife Chezzi, and daughters, Scout and Sailor and commutes to Melbourne on Sundays to film Dancing with the Stars.
‘They also hit Orange and Lithgow. Geez guys, chill. If we’re patient, there’s plenty for everyone. We have enough food supplies in Australia.
‘You don’t need to buy for two years, just a couple of weeks. Let’s get through this together, with patience, kindness and resilience.’
Big supermarket chains such as Coles, Woolworths and Aldi have taken drastic measures by implementing buying restrictions on certain items as customers have been stockpiling on toilet paper, hand sanitiser, rice, pasta and other daily essentials.
In an address to the nation yesterday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said: ‘Stop hoarding. ‘I can’t be more blunt about it. Stop it. It is not sensible, it is not helpful and it has been one of the most disappointing things I have seen in Australian behaviour in response to this crisis.’
