well that is the point, restricting anything does nothing but make it a little more inconvenient to buy something, but if you are ordering it from america, it means 1) you get it cheaper and 2) it takes away from australian profits.. both a win win situation to me, but the blind lawmakers dont/cant see it, or just do not care... in the case of say guns, which are 'illegal' to have possession of... well in that case you can still easily get one (or more) but you tend to pay just a bit more... so only the police, outlaws, and people who really want to protect themselves or family have them... (which makes good people outlaws)... but a criminal can pull a gun without fear of someone pulling one back 99.9% of the time... no fear= more crime
