I think its worse than just Amazon, from what the ABC is saying, Australians will not be allowed to purchase from any overseas vendors unless they agree to collect GST for the Govt.

So Aliied Express, Alibaba, ZWO, QHY basically all Chinese vendors will be off limits to us. (Thanks Harvey Norman).

" Under new collection laws, online retailers will be forced to apply GST to goods bought on international sites and sent to Australia"

The Govt's position
"The Government doesn't apologise for ensuring multinationals pay a fair amount of tax here in Australia. That tax revenue is used to fund essential services,"
