Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2418070, member: 1764"] Ask retailers. It's cos you don't have to pay GST on online overseas stuff (let's forget $90 is much more than 10% of $150 ;-)) It's well documented why retail in Australia is stuffed. 1. Cost of importing stuff from overseas instantly makes it more expensive. 2. Crazy cost of rent for shops. 3. Crazy cost of electricity. 4. Crazy cost of staff (salary, tax, super, leave entitlements etc). 5. Crazy cost of credit No idea what the solution is, but retailers will start shutting down en masse in the next 3-5 years. Shopping centers with empty store space will be a bad look and then maybe rents will drop. [/QUOTE]
