They are currently being investigated by an Australian Governmental inquiry as to why they add a significant price premium to all of their products sold in Australia. Everything is much more expensive when it comes to the products from some companies, Apple ranking high among them. The iTunes stores, as well as all Apple hardware and software are much dearer than in the US and elsewhere. The only answer so far as to why they are doing it is - because they can. That is about to change, but it is taking Government intervention to change it.
