The fact that the administering body is the Tax Office should give a good lead on the level of exposure for anyone practicing “don’t tell, don’t sell”. Having said that, ultimately the choice of what we do and expose ourselves to is our own.

Re: The law in Australia for HOME DISTILLING
Canadian law is similar. Tax violation. As a rule they don't give a shit about a home distiller until he/she is selling it and not paying the Tax. There is a loophole in Canadian law. You can't get a commercial license until you have a product to produce and sell. So you can do product development in the mean time. Keep good notes and records with notes on how product tastes. It could take years to develope a unique product that finds a market neich.
Don't tell, don't sell
Cheers
