Australia has never contemplated imposing a similar tax. New Zealand tried but backed down last week after the United States threatened to impose higher tariffs on New Zealand goods.
What happened in New Zealand is almost certainly what will happen in Australia. This will go nowhere.

Sounds exactly like something Labor would rush through parliament without understanding the repercussions, like they did with the idiotic news media bargaining code.
Arguably we should be imposing 25% DST on digital products to counter the 25% tariff on aluminium and steel and then 10% on everything else. The US started it by imposing blanket tariffs in spite of our free trade agreement.

Thanks for setting expectations
