I don't know how publishers operate in Australia. Since it has been this way for some time it may be difficult to change.
I'm sure it's very frustrating. Maybe instead one should look at all the positives to living in Australia: high standard of living, friendly people, great weather, low crime, accessible health care, affordable housing, beautiful countryside, beaches, flora and fauna, stability, prosperity. It's no wonder Australians are listed as one of the happiest in the world.

Perhaps, that's worth paying a few dollars more for books.
