Jan 03, 2011 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten says that the Australian Government will not make policy changes to make online shopping less attractive. Big retail chains are demanding the removal of an exemption from the goods and services tax applying to foreign goods purchased via the internet to the value of $A1,000. An advertising campaign to present the retailers' point of view was launched on 3 January 2011.
