Timber Shortage

[Mustang]

A mate in the building game has been telling me to stockpile timber I might need, there is going to be a shortage ?
Well its here (Bunnings Image) I have never seen this place so empty, pine, ply, a lot of what is left is buckled or damaged, several projects will have to wait?

According to what I've been seeing and reading about we should actually be at the tail end of the shortage. Another month or so may see us in the clear.

This shortage should act as a warning to all who believe local manufacturing is the cure for all our ills. This shortage was brought about by our local timber mills chasing profits in the USA instead of looking out for our needs.
