Well there seems to be a rather active thread in the BAR on the whole overseas shopping and tax free advantage so as this is actually a CAR forum I thought I would turn it around a bit.
So Gerry and his mate did a high court challenge to the Government rules and protectionism and got their bums handed to them in a big way.
The court rules that it was unconstitutional to restrict any trade in any way as now we are "one world" so section 92 applies to everywhere.
Of course this now applies to motor vehicles as well so anyone can import anything and drive it on our roads regardless of whether it was originally designed to be driven here.
Great cries of joy as a Nissan GTR is now $60,000, a M3 is $50,000 and mustangs start at about $30,000.
Merc and Audi sedans are in the $20-40k and chinese and korean junk, I mean "budget cars" are available for mid 4 digits.
Unfortunately the entire Australian car industry has had to move offshore sacking all of their employees but who cares....cars are heaps cheap, bloody Ford and FPV.....ripping us off for years the bastards....suck on that.
And the holden bogans.....now they are sticking lion badges on FWD pontiacs, oldsmobiles and chevrolets.
No warranty unless you buy off the actual dealer and pay full price but they will fix your broken car.....how much money do you have?
So was this a good idea?
Is the end worth the means?
And what would one of these things be without a poll....
