They had to tell a white lie until stocks arrived. And that is fully understandable I would have thought.
GovCo also told people not to hoard toilet paper. Did they listen?

Do you believe the general public would be able to outbuy "Govco" and the Medical industry at a wholesale level?
The Government and the whole medical system has proven itself incompetent in preparing themselves in purchasing enough of this relatively cheap but absolute necessary equipment when required. I mean I am sure Nancy in Rockbank would have out bid them on ebay or beaten them in the queue at Aldi.
A certain oath had this as a line
"I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure."
It was not a white lie by any definition of the term.
