Australian paper prints blank pages to help tackle toilet paper shortage


A shopper passes empty shelves usually stocked with toilet paper in a supermarket in Melbourne on March 5.

CNN)An Australian newspaper has printed an extra eight pages to be used as toilet paper after coronavirus fears prompted customers to bulk buy supplies, leaving some supermarket shelves bare.

In a bid to tackle the shortage, The NT News provided a practical -- if unconventional -- solution.
Australians living in the Northern Territories would have noticed on Thursday that eight pages in the paper had been left bare, except for watermarks and a cut-out guide edition.

"Run out of loo paper? The NT News cares," the newspaper read.
