Ahhh...It's not the GST's fault...It's target putting up the price so that
when the GST kicks in and they drop the prices, then it looks like they're
not profiteering. Unfortunately, putting the price up like that is just
their way of increasing income while 'dropping' prices. I'd suggest ACCC'ing

this should wake them up to the fact that people do look at their
pricing...And it may result in LA's pricing to them being uncovered.]
