Not if you send panicked online gift cards at the last minute like we do in my family.
and Australia Post will be extra busy with the plebiscite envelopes and the glitter and talcum powder filled envelopes and theyâll be working slower than ever because of the new CEO who is being paid less so theyâll work slower.

Harvey Normanâs profits have soared 29% higher to a new record
The company-operated retail profit before tax profit increased 24.3% to $90.85 million, compared to $73.11 million in the previous financial year.
Harvey says this record result is built on strong performances in offshore operations. The company operates in New Zealand, Slovenia & Croatia, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Singapore and Malaysia.
In Singapore and Malaysia, retail segment profit was up 69.9% to $19.30 million.
In Australia, franchisee headline aggregated sales revenue has increased by 5.4% to $5.62 billion.
Those offshore divisions have taken a very long time to pay off for HN - theyâve been loss making for often than not.
Is that called Harvey Norman too?
Sure is. Google it and youâll see.

Just visited Croatia and saw the Harvey Norman signs outside a couple of big shopping centres, so they are called that there.
They have the same bloke doing all the ads in the English speaking countries (other than Singapore).
These offshore divisions are located in very suspicious locations. I wouldnât be surprised if Gerry Harvey was using them as part of a complex tax avoidance scheme.

All English speaking advertising in SG seems to get voiced with obviously fake american accents. Itâs very jarring.

Do you think itâs the same fake American accents that are used on the station IDs for 2DayFM and KIIS?
Extends right through to promos for TV channels themselves. As a kid I always thought the voiceover for Cartoon Network Asia was so fake.

To sell furniture and electrical goods, obviously. They always look for new and developing markets.

Itâs not obscure. They obviously saw a gap in the market because there werenât any big retailers like it, in those countries. Theyâve also grown about as much as they can in Australia, so overseas is their way to expand the business.
Any info on the Amazon warehouse in Dandenong?
Location, interview process start dates etc?
