Major Australian retailer Gerry Harvey explains why there is now little for him to gain by doing interviews

He said opinions had become dangerous. “It doesn’t matter what you say – you get attacked,” Harvey said on What Makes You Tick. “Social media is just extraordinarily spiteful, and nasty.

“It’s at such a stage now … why am I doing this interview with you? Have I got an opinion on anything? Probably not, any more. What’s the point? Just shut up.”

Harvey has certainly been a lightning rod for online outrage at times with his opinions in recent years, which has led some activist groups to target his business, customers and advertisers.

He said the “system was silencing” people and their ideas.  “I can get up there and say something … somebody doesn’t like it, I lose all my customers, why would I do that?” Harvey said.
