Oh Boo Hoo

The big retailers are whining about losing sales to online sellers, and want to slap GST on all overseas purchases. 10%. Funny thing is, even with a 10% GST fee (which was supposed to REPLACE the tax system, but instead got added on top) it's still cheaper even with the shipping charges, to buy overseas or online.

Instead of having a hissy-fit that informed consumers shop around for the best bargains, how about stop gouging the consumer?

Oh, just on an aside: most of the retailers who were pouting? I don't shop there anyhow. You're excuses for hitting me with a 10% fee just do not apply.
