Anyone know where to get bluing agent? Eg Mrs Stewart's bluing agent? (To make my whites…white again)
Couldn't find it at my local Woolies!

It's not Mrs Stewarts, but I can remember seeing it at a supermarket just recently OP, in a round bottle about 15cm high. Perhaps just try a different supermarket?
fairly sure coles/woolies still stock them.
dark blue plastic bottle. 4-6" high, about 1 1/2" wide with a
whiteyellow lid ~~(by memory)~near the borax

They have mostly been replaced in laundry powder by optical brighteners which convert some UV light to visible light making it possible to be whiter than white.
