Greedy Old Bstard Gerry Harvey lobbying the goverment so that his customers pay 10% tax on online sales. You may not want to talk about Ruslan Kogan, but him and others like him have one difference to you Gerry: they think of their customers and offer lower prices

Smacks of retailers ganging together to gouge a cartel just like the oil cartels.

Determined to shop online at every opportunity, just wish I could buy my petrol online, that would stuff up petrol gouging cartels.

don't forget Gerry Harvey employs 10,000 Aussies compared to kogan 30. 10,000 people who need to be paid to feed their family

Lucky he is not a dictator King or otherwise Australia eco may go upside down and ppl will suffer a lot.

Any other bad idea then to use government as puppet tools for own interest?

you lost reputation and respect from Australian people, you made people angry a lot.

Harvey stores isn't really retailer coz they charged with double or triple than original prices by manipulating people knowledge. We should use middle eater Agents or outlet negotiators. Do we have any better word then call them they are retails? coz it's hurting the names and reputations of fair trade real retailers.

ppl got knowledge about how to buy or knowledge about items quality and specifications in new computer era, is that his business to close people's eyes whatever he wish?

What does it mean to, "forget you"? Is that a polite word or very rude word to reporter?

[myo007]

He has dictatorship policy, he only care for selfish own business but he doesn't care for poors and other. He wants rob foods from before mouths.

He not suit with Democracy nor commonwealth or share.

He rich Billions but what else he ever did good for Australia society in his life?

What he think to use Democratic government as his handy tool like corrupted politic system?

He care only for his pocket bigger but not people suffer?

coz he big and rich so can he eat small people?

[winterka100]

How many small retailers has he sent broke because of his enormous bulk buying power?Now that he's got some competition he goes running to the government crying 'victim'.

[rentabomb]

Who is the silly looking Gerry-G doll beside him ??.

What an arrogant bastard that Gerry is. My shit doesn't stink mentality :(

The made-up redhead is Helen Karlis of David Jones. She stated that hours would be reduced in order for DJs to compete with online retail sites.

Really? So in order to fight their lack of good customer service these fat cats are pledging to have even less staff on theie selling floor. Can they go any further back in time? I think the sooner they close their ridiculously overpriced stores and their current employees get better paying jobs (that they deserve), the sooner we can all benefit.
