There is an item that I buy that retails for $1500 Aus. The retailer tells me it is the conversion between the Aus and Us dollar. I can buy it direct from the US for $299 US plus postage. Delivered it is $499 US. So someone is making $1000 Aus.

Australians are being robbed somewhere, and I don't believe it is the US. Australian wholesalers have their hand in the till.

David Clarke head sets that sold for $1100 in Aus were recently available in the US for $550 Aus plus $50 postage. The trough is big, and there are many heads in it. Where is the ACCC?
