      Gerry steals $8-20m from all taxpayers for one event, and everyone hates on him. Amazon steals nearly $100m from its drivers, individuals that are already incredibly hard done by, and does stuff like this on the regular…and everyone gives them a free pass. I legit don't get the logic.

        nope. Gerry gave us GST on all imports. Unforgivable.

        • -8

          That actually made sense. Having GST on local stuff only made no sense. That was just discouraging local spending. Go be angry at John Howard.

          Also for everyone that throws negs, justify yourself =P

          • -4

            @incipient: Fully agree, I don't love paying GST, but it levels the playing field for all Australian businesses, not just Gerry.

            There is some uncomfortable outcomes like paying GST on a retro game console from 1990 pre GST (also noting GST in second hand goods) although that would have had a higher Sales tax back in the day so you just suck it up.

          • @incipient: Mmmmm? How did that work out? Got any cool data to share to justify how it made sense?

            Cause to me, it sure looks like the single biggest factor to domestic spending was actually the crash of the dollar and 10% was unlikely the "cut off" point for people.

            What actually changed, is we lost 30-40% spending power on the dollar and likely more when you include the shifting markets in other nations.

            But nah, 10% GST on goods less than $1000 is what saved the domestic retail sector.

        • +3

          nope. Gerry gave us GST on all imports. Unforgivable.

          This 100% I haven't bought a thing from this pr*ck since then.

          And now recently Gerry smirking and gloating about making a fortune from people's fear and misery during the pandemic was beyond forgivable, then stealing millions through jobkeeper…

          • @subywagon: The gst thing made perfect sense. Honestly the fact that people here can't understand such a fundamentally basic thing is baffling.

            Yeah Gerry took $20m in job keeper. He took about 80c from you. It's not great. Amazon literally took thousands from drivers that were already struggling. 7eleven underpaid people on the minimum wage.

            Never shop at hn again. That is a good idea! But if you buy from Amazon, 7eleven, or others. You're either valuing your 80c over some already abused drivers thousands…or you're just like most voters that get hung up on a single thing.

            Also all of the large companies did the same things profits wise during the pandemic. Made out like bloody bandits.

            I'm seeing zero justification of why Gerry's argument for gst on imports doesn't make sense. In the immortal words of the inquisitor. Justify yourself!

            • @incipient: Got to love a bit of whatboutism.

              Good for you if you love paying tax on top of tax, supporting gloated business models that take advantage of Australians, or can justify some billionaire (who has on many occasions shown utter contempt for the average Aussie), ripping of millions of dollars from Australian's because it was only "80c" from my pocket.

              Yes what you say is true, those companies suck too. It's hard to navigate through all the BS. I haven't bought of Amazon in a long time, I never go to 7eleven.

              The fact of the matter is Australian's were already paying too much and this old b@st@rd lobbied hard to make us pay more to further line HIS pockets.

              And no, I'm a voter that's hung up on MANY things just like this. And this isn't just a small thing, it's a great example of big business having undue influence on our political system.

              I'm seeing zero justification as to why we should be paying GST on items under $1000 from overseas but to line the pockets of people like Gerry Harvey.

              All I'm seeing is big forehead energy.

              • @subywagon:

                I'm seeing zero justification as to why we should be paying GST on items under $1000 from overseas

                I mentioned it on what people downvoted lol. Lemme go basic. If a manufacturer has a sell price of say $500 for their gpu. Some retailer overseas wants to make no profit for some reason, they sell it to you for $500. The same retailer in Australia has to sell it for $550 (with the gst) to make $0 profit. Hence you buy from the overseas seller. That is oversimplifying it, but that's the gist. Applying gst only to local purchases actively advantaged overseas sellers, and actively disadvantaged local sellers and the economy. It made no sense.

                And no I don't like paying tax. I'd rather have no gst. But I would rather have an even tax than one that actively disadvantages our local businesses and economy.

                • @incipient: No you're not over simplifying it, you are misconstruing it.

                  Let me "go basic" for you as you don't seem to have a grasp of overseas markets or capitalism in general.
                  Firstly, they do want to make money. They have larger markets, (amongst many other variables) so they can spread their margins out even when selling cheaper.
                  Secondly, you're not explaining why exactly Australian sellers need to add the "$50". Back then there was cheap shipping, hence we could all buy from America, have it shipped here and it was still cheaper than buying local even though it was bought in bulk by business here.
                  Many local sellers (especially back then) were way behind the times and had no understanding of e-commerce and in fact, refused to embrace it and hated it because they had no understanding of it. Yes, they had bigger overheads, but this was due to bad management, being stuck in brick and mortar format, due to their inability to be flexible and move with the times.
                  Big companies were and are often run by boomer dinosaurs who were used to have little to no competition due to our isolation, less investment from overseas corporations and having monopolistic behaviour and so applied "Australia tax" to most of our purchases. E-commerce ruined this price gouging run that they held so dear and were used to.

                  It was easier for Gerry to lobby and bribe his mates in the Liberal Coalition than it was for him to adapt. It's taken him all this time to finally just catch up with an adequate online presence. Gerry is an accurate representation of the average boomer business owner that I've met and worked with many times helping them get their businesses online. They hold the consumer in utter contempt, especially for moving their shopping habits online. I've copped many tirades and rants about modern consumers and them being annoyed that they need an online presence.

                  I'd rather see more incentives for a competitive market place than placing the burden on the consumer. They could have helped to try and reduce shipping fees for business for example but chose to punish the consumer instead. It's only a free market when it suits them.

                  It's all history now. Things are only going to get more expensive world wide but us consumers will be paying the price, not the big companies as long as they have lobbying power like they do.

                  It's a similar story to how they derailed the NBN due to Murdochs lobbying.

                  • @subywagon:

                    you're not explaining why exactly Australian sellers need to add the "$50"

                    Otherwise they would be selling at a loss. ASUS sells their gpu for $500 to retailers. Overseas a retailer could buy it for $500 from asus, and resell it for $500 and make $0 profit. A local retailer buys it for $500 from asus, but because they need to add gst, to make $0 profit, a local seller needs to sell it for $550 ($500 unit price+$50 gst). All things being equal, you buy it from overseas instead of locally.

                    This is before you consider any efficiency/inefficiency in any e-commerce platform. This is just simple buys/sell price. I'd be happy to debate local vs overseas competitive advantage, but that's probably for somewhere else =P and doesn't apply to the issue of gst.

                    than placing the burden on the consumer

                    You're criticising gst there, not Gerry getting it added to overseas purchases.

                    • @incipient:

                      ASUS sells their gpu for $500 to retailers.

                      You're only looking at one very specific item in today's market. It doesn't relate. Of course markets have changed and adapted since then in various ways. The fact of the matter is, we were paying an Australia tax back then, in a lot of situations the exuberant prices couldn't be justified.

                      You're criticising gst there, not Gerry getting it added to overseas purchases.

                      No, I'm criticising having it added onto cheap imported items that Gerry lobbied for so he wouldn't have to spend his own money adapting his business model. Instead of adapting to the trends of the free market he lobbied to having the government adapt the market to his whim.

                        @subywagon: Haha im genuinely disappointed in my inability to convey a point. To be fair, text isn't the greatest medium to use.

                        Anyway, good debate! Appreciate it haha.

                        • @incipient: No worries mate. I went off point myself. The point I wanted to make was that regardless of the merit of the GST being applied to imports under $1000 (which I'm sure there are strong arguments both way for), I don't think businesses should be able to hold the lobbying power (such as that displayed by Gerry Harvey back then) to influence government policy in such a major way in a democracy. Anyway, have a good one.

      • Don't forget the hundreds of millions shifted offshore to dodge tax everywhere they operate, just like all the multinationals (Google, IKEA, Apple), but the Gerry pitchfork crowd don't seem to care.

        • +1

          Gerry lobbied (bribed?) the Libs into introducing a tax to directly increase his profits at our disadvantage, of course we care. He's also picked on ozbargainer "professionals" in the past..

          • @subywagon: Ah well, I'll continue to seek the best deal. All these companies are the same, if you want to play the moral high ground you probably need to give up a lot more than Harvey Norman. I understand why people don't like him, but let's not pretend the others are any better.

      • Your forgetting he screwed us with import tax as well.

        Jeff didn't do that to us, so Gerry can stick it

        • What import tax did Gerry get introduced? Outside of duty, the only import tax we pay is gst?

          • +2

            @incipient: We never used to have to pay GST on items bought overseas. It was pissing Gerry off that we were getting items online instead of paying double by purchasing through him.
            At the time he barely had an online presence, and what he did have was crap.
            So instead of paying people to improve his online business model, he threw money at his buddies in the Liberal party and convinced them to apply GST on items we buy online through ebay etc.

            And now here we are either paying Australia tax on items bought here, or paying GST to punish us for buying items cheaper from overseas.

          • @incipient: Subywagon answered. I still can't believe many people don't know this, the intellect we have 🤦

            • @Bretttick: I don't think I can explain my point properly in text. That Gerry pushing to get it applied to overseas items was actually sensible. If it wasn't applied to overseas items, the government was actively encouraging people to send money overseas, which makes no sense.

              Local spending is good for the economy. Overseas spending is bad. It makes no sense for the government to incentivise things bad for the economy.

              But yeah I'm not trying to explain it any more lol. Apparently I can't =P
