Lol so they paid their employees from jobkeeper instead of from their revenu. Nice convenient accounting trick.
@tharlow: Every cent that went to employees was a cent saved by the employer. What's your point?
@mahdoo: Maths has rules, you'd think he'd be more across them…
@tharlow: We all agree that the payment went to employees. The issue is that HN was doing better than ever and didn't need to get jobkeeper in the first place. They made record profits while pretending to be doing poorly so the gov would pay the wages.
@tharlow: Money is fungible so this is technically true and also utterly meaningless.
ScoMo is that you?
Nah, it's clearly Josh.
Someone should have told Qantas!!
No Harvey no!
I expected it would come with a free monster HDMI cable valued at $500
When does this deal end, does it end on 27th then?
They should be handing these out for free with the billions of tax payer corporate welfare given to them by the LNP
and free flights from qantas
Lol, hopefully you're being facetious, it was $22m and $6m was paid back. The old bastard is a billionaire none the less.
Edit: lol at getting negged for posting facts rather than making up numbers. The I hate Gerry club never disappoints 😉
Plus+ for you, you are new here? To clarify the Gerry hate club… in a galaxy far, far away billions of years ago, Gerry advertised an item… OZB purchased then he claimed price error and apparently it was our fault and called us professionals as we took advantage and preyed on his good will and kind nature. So henceforth it will always be remembered in the chronicles of OZB as we wear our name with pride, THE PROFESSIONALS.
That son of a bitch, pass me a pitchfork, I'm with you…

Edit: I remember it but didn't realise it was back in 2012!
rather get the buds from Google for free
free buds?
What does targeted mean?
@Trapnest: The company that is doing the deal will select certain members of that company for that deal. You will need to be signed up with their respective rewards programme or have some app installed or their email list. So not everyone will be included. Quite often this will be banks and their customers, or Woolies and Coles customers who have their rewards cards.
isn't the trade in deal at JB objectively better?
Anything is better than HN
Depends if you have an eligible phone to trade in…
My pixel 2 has zero value for trade.
My pixel 4a has $100 (+$250 gift card) but I kind of wanted to keep my 4A as a backup / hand-me-down.
my Pixel 4a with crack screen has zero value too!
Pixel 3a is $50
new 6a or a second hand s21
New 6a, will likely last your longer imho
You never know for sure how a secondhand one would have been treated.
New 6a
who knows what horrors the 2nd hand S21 has endured.
Note - the gift card cannot be used to part pay for the phone
Fantastic price on the best pocketable, pure-Android phone money can buy. Plus you’re supporting a great Australian company that actually pays taxes on its profits — unlike, say, Apple
Your calm logic has no place against the Gerry pitchfork mob mate, gave you a pos vote to try to offset them but it won't be enough…
We only support faceless tax dodging global organisations here, take my money Amazon, Apple, Google, IKEA…. The list goes on.
Edit: it wasn't enough 😞
I don't disagree about Apple etc., but seriously? "great Australian company"?
In the good old days, Harvey's position as one of Australia’s largest media clients meant that his offensive commentary flew under the radar, meticulously under-reported by the newspaper, radio and television companies gorging on his advertising largesse.
In the present day, the penetration of social media has rendered Gerry’s protection racket obsolete. His crassitude resounds in every corner of the nation and shoppers can vote with their feet.
Oh, how true. Same can be said about VW, Mercedes Benz and a few more companies.
Marry me Gerry
pixel 5 or pixel 6a?
6a for sure
Same cameras, arguably better build/screen/battery, new chip
Longer support
60Hz screen and no wireless charging is pretty crap for a phone selling for this much. Other then the new processor and longer support it feels like a downgrade from 5 to me.
I would say extend your budget a bit and get pixel 6 for 734 on Amazon. Better camera and screen. Cons - heavier, worse fingerprint reader
Mmmm you also need to sign up to a 24 month contract @$69 a month too FYI
You high on meth at 7pm already? 😂
Err, no you don't.
Do you get the giftcard when you get the phone or when you pay?
I picked mine up today. Didn't get the gift card on collection. I just asked the customer sevice team on the website and was told that it would be mailed to me within 1-2 weeks.
Well that sucks. Might do a walk in later today and see how it goes
Yeah… I didn't think to ask the person when i collected. But I got hte vibe that they would have had no idea what i was talking about. nice phone though.
So I buy meself one and get 150 for the missus to buy hers, then we get 36mths to spend her 150 on a Bose Flex when it comes on sale for 197 at xmas. I sell me Pixel 3a for 150, her dying Nokia 6 gets shelved, happy days. ;)
Job keeper gift card.
