Stop the Harvey Norman GST tax extortion

Harvey Norman and a number of other retailers are attempting to lobby the Australian government to place a GST upon online transactions. We encourage you to boycott Harvey Norman stores in Australia and New Zealand. Taxation is not the answer and we will explain why in this blog.

Counter-psychology of retailing

I find the interesting aspect of the retailers attempts to seek some government protection being the implications of their efforts. Are they not saying in effect 'they cannot compete with online foreign websites'. That to me is like a 'red flag' saying we cannot compete with online businesses, so we need help. If nothing else, I would think that is just going to impel many Australians to go out and buy a computer online, and buy all their products online.
That is what happens when you do a dummy spit. It is a complaint that causes people to do the exact opposite of what you expect.

I have long recognised that companies like Harvey Norman are a rip off; but look, now we have the retailers themselves asserting as much to the public. They are acting telling everyone, we need support, can you help us because we are not competitive.
