The point is that some of the bigger retailers in Australia who have made their big profits by importing cheap and selling high are the ones who have been very vocal in forcing the introduction of GST on stuff people buy over the internet
The point is that introducing the GST on everything will be counter productive with the costs outweigh hing the miserable income the government will receive, remember this only applies to sales less than $1000

Also you must understand that our heavy handed overworked bureaucrats are unable to handle problems separately they can only bring in blanket bans regardless if it is fair and just or not.
Australian manufacturers are not welcome in Australia anyway

I think you are missing the point.

GST is a tax that applies to all goods and services (with a few minor exceptions).

Why should overseas companies be exempt from charging it?

If they are, why wouldn't all Aus online sellers set up shop o/s and sell to us GST free? Thereby removing jobs and more tax revenue.

Regardless of who campaigned for it. Logically it has to be done.
