They originally were doing that but the volume of imports was so high they couldn't deal with the processing back log. Then they moved to only charging GST on imports over $1000 AUD. That actually worked really well. Then they got greedy. And were pushed by powerful retail owners to do something.
The whole thing is ridiculous because there are far bigger fish escaping the frying pan that they just ignore. Like the whole negative gearing property issue. They don't touch that massive tax hole because the individual politicians themselves are making huge coin off it.
