Exchange rates had certainly been dampening my kit buying but with respect to the new development Des just referred to,I'll be buggered if I'll pay any tax I can avoid on Wingnut kits for example which as we all know are not sold by local retailers,at least here in Aus,making the rationale for the extension of the GST morally invalid.(Not that the greedy billionaire mouthpiece behind the lobby group will care,more $ for racehorses for him).Before the axe falls next July I'll invest a couple of grand or so and buy every thing on my WNW,Silverwings etc wishlists as soon as I see a reasonable lift in the rate.This may seem a bit bloody-minded but I have another round of chemotherapy in 2 days and am feeling a bit Bolshy tonight,and I expected better from a government which I support.Pity it's made up of politicians.
