    Gabe pulls out loose change from pocket, pays fine, shrugs shoulders, continues to laugh all the way to the bank...

    So many kilos of Australium is that?

    Half?

    Three quarters?

    I'm sure Gabe's got that much under his fridge.

    There is a key point here, they've essentially ruled that offering a digital product for sale online and accepting $AU for it means they are doing business in Australia. That's a step towards the government's goal of levying a 10%+ GST on all online purchases (as all on shore purchases are, bar a few exclusions)
    As if the 'Australia Tax' wasn't hefty enough as it is...
