I'm deeply offended that our government seeks to reward ripoff distributors and retails by taxing overseas purchases. That's simply corruption and collusion on a grand scale imho, and is certainly NOT in the interest of the general public. Distributors and retailers complaining about losing business cos of overseas Internet based businesses etc, should perhaps look a wee bit hard at themselves and as to why they're losing business. And our government should certainly NOT be supporting such greedy businesses etc imho, at the expense of honest hard working Australians.
I'm not offended. All purchases should be subject to the same tax. If that makes local sellers even more expensive, then don't buy.
I look forward to the time the $1000 tax concession is rescinded - even though I have just benefited from it.
