    I am not missing the point
    Yes GST as a valid tax should be paid by all

    But I do see it as a fruitless activity as the cost of obtaining and the administration of the collection on all items under $1000 is an expensive exercise doomed to failure, many overseas firms will take the easy way out and not export to Australia, with the result that Australian people will lose out, but then maybe that is the intention -- get rid of the competition

    It becomes no more than a costly symbolic gesture
