'Imported luxury goods' rolls off the tongue but most of the electrical goods, toys, entertainment products, homewares in Big W, Bunnings, K Mart and Target ARE imported but ARE NOT luxuries.
Also, it is well documented that 'first homebuyer schemes' just go into the pockets of existing homeowners through inflated prices.
