Gerry Harvey boycott triggers crocodile tears

Via the AFR’s Joe Aston:

…the veteran retailer’s 60 Minutes interview on Sunday was genuinely breathtaking.

…the mob’s affront must have really bitten Harvey Norman’s sales. On Wednesday, Gerry backtracked, offering the least fulsome public apology…

…Funny, because nobody at News Corp ever thought he was callous. Not a damned soul! Harvey’s outrageous comments hadn’t rated a single mention in The Australian, any of the metro city tabloids or on Sky News…That’s the kind of protection racket Australia’s very last $40 million print advertising account buys you.

I will never buy another widget from Gerry Harvey. To be honest, I don’t know why I didn’t think of not doing so before.

The virus is going to offer Australians all kinds of opportunies to rid themselves of arseholes.
