prime minister gilliard no tax on aussies

Gillard happy with online bargains

Australians who hunt for bargains in online shopping should be allowed to continue doing so, Prime Minister Julia Gillard says.

The high-profile campaign, led by the likes of Harvey Norman, Myer and Target, has sparked the ire of shoppers, who argue it's their right to buy cheaper goods online.

Ms Gillard said on Monday that axing the GST-free threshold would not be financially smart.

"It would cost more in administration costs than would be recovered in revenue," she told reporters in Canberra.

"I would be very reluctant to see Australians who are facing cost-of-living pressures not able to access shopping on the internet in the way they access it now."

Well done Prime Minister, sticking up for Australians and doing a great job. I am sure Australias greatest treasure Wayne Swan slayer of the GFC had a hand in it.

Has anyone noticed what a minnow little Tony Abbott has become especially with his inept ideas around the Queensland flood tragedy. More evidence that in a crisis and without hand written notes Tony just doesnt cut the mustard.
