There are rich and poor people in Australia, like any other country.
If publishers are setting their prices for ebooks by geographical differences in average income, when the cost of the ebook is not dependent on the geographical location of sale, then I think that is simply unfair.
After all, there are differences in average income between different age, gender and racial groups too. Should publishers set their prices based on age, gender or race? If they did then I think they could be prosecuted under human rights legislation.
So why is geographical discrimination allowed but age, gender and racial discrimination not?
