Which part of going from door to door vacuum salesman to billionaire is a stretch?
I've been lucky enough to get a pretty good look inside how his organisation operates, he is a very smart bloke and understands what motivates people.
He's not a very nice person.
He tells everyone to buy Australian one day.
And the next he's dribbling on about how he wants to import cheap foreign labour for his horse business.
Following day he's talking about the free market and competition.
Next he's talking more crap about his Horse breeding empire which is about as anti-competitive as you can get. To keep prices high and the average joe from entering the industry they ship horse all over the globe rather than use artificial insemination practices.
Personally, I think he's an oxygen thief.
He had a legit point about levelling the playing field re:GST on imports.
(Plus he ended up getting around it anyway).
He beat shopping centres at their own game.
He made millionaires out of retail store managers.
Still to this day he does a lot of face to face business with the 'little people' (my words not his) in his organisation and gets on very well with likeminded people and is quite flippant about others who are not.
(This may explain why you don't like him!!!!!)
To me he's a bloke that has always played by the rules but is always out there promoting himself and his business. It might be a bit shameless but certainly nothing to be offended by.
Good for the game IMO.
(And no, he's never buying the Jets).
His business acumen is great BUT he helped keep tinks in charge and this is terrible. I do appreciate that he likes dwarves, nice bloke.
Or you could look at it like Gerry will def be charging him 'mafia money' interest rates so therefore be draining even more coin from his pocket even quicker, bringing him closer to the brink.
Besides, the ad says "everybody loves Harvey Norman"...............except Dunster.
Although if rumour is true and the (soon to be ex) missus is sitting on that $400m trust fund over in Hawaii then old Tinks might just keep finding some cash in the ATM to keep his ass clean.
Who else was an option? Talk about re-writing history
FFA helping Con was always the best option.
Con was broke and you wanted FFA to help him out, and now.......
They are giving Tinks way more leeway and help than they ever gave Con.
That's clearly because there's no one lined up to take Tinkler's place
Exactly.

All you need to know about Harvey is he bases his interests in Ireland to avoid tax.
Absolute smoker
nah.
The Ireland thing is to do with his campaign to have the same GST rules for Australian businesses as there is for overseas businesses importing good under $1000 into Oz.
He wanted the same rules for everyone, the govt said no, so he based his website out of there in order to level the playing field.
He was also very public in his reasons for doing so.
Nothing shady about it.
nice, that's what I do.
the ffa was always there. we had some interest from which was not divulged until tinks became the highest bidder. We were not in trouble if tinks didn't show up.
Are you nrl fan cause that was the bogan line at the time.

Celeski and Madaschi gone
Madaschi was shit. Celeski I would say ability wise I am unconvinced if he was good or shit. Injury prone though.
Not disappointed they are gone. But pissed off at how they were treated, as like with Griffiths, Jaliens and Carney
About ****ing time this got sorted.
FFS Griff and Kew have been gone for nearly a month now and finally the club have managed to move on the other unwanted players.
Only Carney to go now.
