Finally! A voice of reason!
For those that don't want to read the article. Gary Edstein, Chief Exec of DHL Express Oceania, said scrapping the $1000 tax-free threshold on online deliveries would clog up deliveries and that deliveries should be treated like airline passengers: duty free.

Because Australia is looking into it, New Zealand is now following by trying to get GST (15% here) added to online digital services. Parcels are too hard at the moment.
If it was just about adding GST it might be ok, but as soon as tax is added on then 3 more taxes are added pushing a $60 GST bill to $120 - and then there is the 5 day wait for the "next business day" letter advising you how to pay your bill.

GST on online purchases will start 1st of July 2017... depending on if Federal Labor backs it, as the legislation would need to be passed before the next election. (so a change of government probably won't make a difference)
As expected, the men running the finances of the country decided against removing GST from specific feminine (health) products.

Well they have agreed on it
Looks like it is going to be on ALL online overseas purchases, regardless of cost. Not going to come in until the 2nd half of 2017 though.
