I wouldn't get too worried.
Hmmm. Just because the ACCC is 'looking after you with the GST', and Alan
Fels is jumping about like a liberl party apologist does not mean you'll be
leaving a trail of destruction.
Proving that your pricing is based on your best understanding of your costs is
not a real hard thing to do, and if you can do that (at the local shop level),
I understand that ACCC has no power to intervene. The ACCC has some rather
specific powers, which probably do not extend much beyond monstering at the
local toyshop level.
And who wants a communist style price surveillance and enforcement anyway?
All that leads to larger, stupider government, and queues and shortages for
essentials.
Let the market do its work. If the pricing is too expensive, buy somewhere
else. If you want to really rub it in, tell them how much you're going to
spend somewhere else :-)
Not only have we had to pay for the Liberal Party shamelessly promoting itself
at the tax office's expense (and that would be out of our pocket), now the
ACCC is spending public money on promoting itself and making us all feel
better about how well the GST is being handled.
Maybe we should just give up and surrender our wallets....
Wow, we seem to have stumbled upon a nerve here. Must have that seen to.....

a tax on not having hair :-)
