Online purchases under $1000 are GST exempt. The ATO has ruled the cost of administering a GST for that sort of purchase too expensive to justify.

However, even if a GST was applied to online purchases the cost would still be considerably lower. I would suggest that you visit some news sites like news.com.au and appraise yourself of the situation in Australia.
