I don't think it applies to all overseas suppliers, only to those who sell over $75,000 to AU per year (or something like that). The ones who are under that amount, just like the small AU suppliers, do not have to charge GST.
To the question how to enforce it... let me attempt a guess.
Each package already has its value declared and all packages are already scanned at the customs. From this info it is easy to find out how much each overseas company is selling to AU. If the supplier is over the limit then their packages can be stopped at the border either until the buyer pays the GST or until the supplier eventually starts collecting the GST.
Or in other words:
Phase 1: Piss off everybody with a plan that has not been thought thoroughly
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit
