I think a lot of the push by retailers to apply GST to overseas purchases is to cover their own poor business acumen.
I read in the news today that Harvey Norman and JB HiFi have had dramatic increases in their share prices this year, so they must be doing ok.-but then perhaps they have the ability to sell!
Perhaps some other businesses need to improve their selling skills!
Governments, of course , will jump on the GST bandwagon if they think they can extract more money from us-pretending they are protecting Australian businesses.
