Where is that $5 USD difference going? A small part only of 10% is the GST (tax).
Is the author or publisher getting more money from the Australian? That would be wrong & racist.
Or is someone else getting it? And why?
There should be transparency about this.

Different publishers, different countries, different prices. Also, what it's priced in AU dollars could be typical for the AU and when converted into US dollars, you get the difference. So it may not be wrong or racist. And if it was wrong, why would it be racist?
