You're forgetting about GST, which brings that price difference down to about $17, going by Collins' launch pricing. Then there's all the usual additional about higher wages, the smaller market slightly affecting import costs and the almost certainty that it'll stay at RRP for about a month before Officeworks and JB start discounting.

All in all, far less of a price difference than, say, Kindle pricing.
