I'm sure it'll be a schmozzle in the beginning.

Aliexpress doesn't need to do anything. The Australian government has ZERO legal control over them as an entity. ZERO. NADA. NIL. ZILCH. NULL. Of course, Australian customs will then illegally intercept any said packages and withhold them illegally from their rightful owners, based on a new tax law that was NOT voted on by the majority of this country's voting age population.
If this corrupt government was so sure that it had the support of the people, then why the hell didn't it throw a referendum on the matter? Oh wait, cos it well and truly knew it had ZERO chance of a referendum for this actually succeeding. Our government does NOT have the best interests of the average Australian consumer at heart with this new "law". It's a greedy money grab to protect dinosaur greedy local distributors and retailers who continue to generally speaking offer crappy support, and price rape Australians for the effort.
