The Australian version of GST is strange, for food. "basic food" is exempt,
while other food incurs GST. So if you buy a cooked chicken you pay no GST,
if you buy half a cooked chicken, or two halves, you pay GST. Edible
underwear attract GST. We are still waiting to hear if a tree falls over in
a forest and no one hears it, whether it attracts GST. So don't cut your
coins in half, just in case.
