Not necessarily.

I don't mean they're necessarily panic buying, like filling, but they're just buying more than they normally would.

And then obviously if your industry depends on it or your livelihood depends on it or your, you know, then you're going to be more proactive in keeping your supplies as full as you can.

I drive a lot.

I live regionally.

I drive my car.

I wouldn't be exaggerating when I say I drive it about 100 times more than I did when I lived in a city.

So if you live regionally, A, there's less public transport.

So it's all fine for people to say, just catch public transport.

There is no public transport where I live.

There's like two buses a day that go to a nearby town.

But if I want to get the train, I've still got to drive 20 minutes

to get there.

And then that's just living in a small town regionally.

If you live rurally, that's a whole different ballgame.

So it's kind of like, I think this affects you differently depending on where you live.

And the other thing that compounds for regional people, and if you're living in the regions, and this is really stressing you, we want to say, obviously, we see you, is that we also don't have as many petrol stations.

So say my town has one independent petrol station.

And they're not necessarily getting the same level of supply as some of the bigger places.

And you also have less choice.
