They may send a form letter in reply. From what im seeing online though this policy might just have been the nail in the coffin for this govt so make some noise while you still can.
So, Madness is trying to create a level playing field and supporting Aussie workers? 10% may be the difference between someone buying from OS or buying from a local retailer. Sure it is fun to blame the government for everything wrong with the country but while probably flawed this tax will be enough to increase local purchases which has to be a good thing.
Now, I do buy quite a bit online and my wage comes from promoting websites that offer all sorts of products and services at reduced prices but I still try to post local deals where possible. I do understand that many people can't find items locally and that is fine and an extra 10% shouldn't affect those sales too much. I hope that makes some sense, my brain is done for the day.
