I'm not quite sure you understood my angle there Taz.
When the AUD was at USD$0.70, we paid the USD$110 or so licence fee (so, AUD$150+). Now, we're at or over parity and rather than us being positioned to take advantage of the currency situation and pay a similar amount to you blokes (comparatively), we cannot - the price went up. So, rather than our stronger currency enabling us to get the same licence, for which you've paid $110 for a long time, at around the AUD$110-115 mark, the goalposts have moved and we're now paying more, again.
Oh and for a comparison, a house here costs $300k+, a basic Holden utility 6cyl, costs $30k+ and we pay AUD$7, or thereabouts for an Imperial Gallon of fuel. In Melbourne the other day, fuel rose by AUD$0.20 a litre ($0.90/imp. gallon) overnight.
I've been to plenty of lands around the world and comparatively, we pay a LOT more than other places for the same things.
A set of Yella Terra LS1 rockers - made here - cost us AUD$700-800 to buy here. If we source from a US-reseller, we can expect to pay AUD$450-500 - landed back here!
I'll reiterate, I'm not singling out EFILive, but it is a frustration when we constantly seem to get less value for our money.
