wave of direct actions have taken place across Australia to try to pressure Harvery Norman stores from stocking furniture made from wood sourced from native forests. The actions have been bold and creative including doing banner drops inside or outside stories Harvery Norman stores in Sydney,Melbourne. Blockading a in Nowra. A group of Tasmanian animals including Tasmanian devils and quolls even occupied the Harvey Norman store in Hobart! Well conservationists from Still Wild Still Threatened, dressed as native animals anyway. Most spectacularly one of Australia’s biggest every banner drops occurred in a logged native forest coupe in Tasmania with a banner declaring “Non Harvery Norman No! Don’t buy forest destruction.

How idiotic to suggest that Harvey Norman ban Tasmanian woods at the expense of our sustainable best practise industry and instead import wood from forests where our most endangered species of primate live. Sorry but the so called 'greens' are nothing but hypocrites. Good on Harvey Norman for seeing through the scam.
