No Harvey Norman No!



From GetUp

Harvey Norman has been caught red handed by undercover environmental investigators selling furniture that fuels the destruction of Australia's native forests.

Instead of using existing plantation timber - which is plentiful and affordable - an investigation by Markets for Change has revealed that Harvey Norman furniture is made from ancient Australian trees that are logged and sent to China for processing.

Incredibly, our new TV ad that shows what Harvey Norman are doing to our environment has just been banned from commercial TV by the industry body that classifies ads - because they're scared of what Harvey Norman might do next.

They might block our video on TV -- but they can't stop us reaching millions of Australians by sending it to our friends and family online!
