Here is one article discussing Australia's move towards it. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-double-taxation-ends-australia-july-1st/
I will get some more sources for you tonight after work, currently on a cell phone and links suck this way.

I think it's a great move by Australia to do this. But removing GST from the purchase of cryptocurrency isn't necessarily the same as recognizing it as a currency, though. And to be honest, I'm not so sure if having states and central banks recognize cryptocurrency as a currency is even a good thing. It's great to avoid the tax, but there may be broader implications that ought to dampen our enthusiasm for such a move.
Thank you for the reminder about getting more sources on @Australia and their move concerning #Bitcoin. I am home now and can provide more links:

Well, maybe not many more sources as everything I have found links back to the Coin Telegraph article so no use in posting them all.
