'Fair Go' Coalition gets little change from angry Aussie consumers

http://www.nma.tv/ A coalition of billionaire Australian businessmen complaining about tax-free online purchases made overseas are getting little sympathy from the government or the public. The Retail Coalition's advertising campaign asked the government to impose GST on purchases under A$1,000, saying it could cost jobs. But Aussie consumers have been anything but sympathetic, while consumer advocates have called it a cry from dinosaurs slow to adapt to the Internet age.

Living in Australia, I went shopping for a Sony VG10 camcorder.

$3,000 in Australian stores with no extras. $2,000 online with extra lenses and a copy of Sony Vegas .

Stop taking advantage of the Australian public.

Australia is fucked!!!! Taiwan, HK, China and US and major corporations are really going to be the big winners, China China China Oi Oi Oi. Aussies are too tightass and stupid to realize how important the retail sector is to australia. We will send all our money straight overseas instead of stimulating our own economy. Fuck HN and huge markups, if you shop around, you dont have to risk buying on the net
