    Ok so the report was tabled this evening and here is the summary:

    1. Liberals support the passing of the Bill but recommend not to be implemented until 1 July 2018.
    2. Labor supports the concept of taxing low value items in principle but does not support the Bill.
    3. Xenophon has reserved his position pending further discussions with stakeholders.

    At the very least it seems this won't come in for another year and may not get passed at all - well in its current form anyway.

    The amount of people that think it's trivial for a company to implement a feature, put out a patch or whatever is ridiculous. A year to implement is the least the government should give.

    I can't read the article either but it sounds terrible to me. It alludes that after 12 months, they will start charging GST on online purchases from overseas. Hope that is incorrect.

    I read a similar article on another site. Basically Liberal and Labor both want to charge gst on all overseas purchases, but decided it would be impossible to implement before next month, so they have another year to work that out.
    Also, the increasingly irrelevant and tone deaf dinosaur Gerry Harvey had a sook about the delay, complaining that people like eBay now had more time to lobby against lowering the gst threshold and he wants the politicians to just ignore them.
