The latest ploy by Gerry Harvey is that buying over the Internet is 'un Australian'.
Nice try Gerry.
I regularly buy tools from overseas suppliers. Even if I had to pay GST and import duty, I'd still be buying at 30% to 40% less than I could get the same item locally.
If I was buying a refrigerator or washing machine, I would try to get them over the internet, I'd prefer to go a real store and look at the options. It isn't going to be one of Gerry's store though.
