Harvey Norman fined A$35 million over misleading Latitude credit ads

AI Market Summary
Australia's Federal Court penalised Harvey Norman A$35m for misleading "no deposit"/interest-free ads tied to Latitude Finance credit cards, with Latitude also fined A$20m. The judgment highlights governance and compliance failures, lack of contrition, and reputational damage, which can weigh on earnings quality and raise perceived regulatory risk for Australian consumer-facing firms. The ruling reinforces ASIC's enforcement posture, potentially tightening marketing and lending practices.
