LET'S PUSH THE GOVERNMENT TO PRESSURE COMPANIES TO LOWER THEIR PRICES

In Australia we pay TWICE the Americans pay for the SAME ITEM if not more and that is just UNFAIR. Since our currency is stronger than the American dollar shouldn't we pay less? Even on bad days, the American dollar is only a few cents or so higher than the Australian dollar and shipping does not double prices. Bulk shipping is cheaper than shipping individual items so it definitely does not entail doubling the price. So why is it we pay less when we ship items from America at retail prices when department stores etc get DISCOUNTED BULK PRICES along with DISCOUNTED BULK SHIPPING? To people who say "Just shop online then!", I think most people prefer better prices, no shipping and the ability to look at items or maybe even trying it themselves and don't like going through the hassle of sending the item back and forth due it it being faulty, not matching the description, the sender sender the wrong item etc. Let's push the government to STOP this daylight robbery and those greedy fat pigs bathing in money TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AUSTRALIANS. (If Gillard ignore this we can always tell her come next election we're all voting for Abbott ;P I'm sure she would listen then)
