There were GR restrictions on an SF book written by an Aussie author based in Melbourne, I believe. I had to go through hoops to obtain the book fair and square. Why cannot I buy a book in Australia written by an Australian author as it defies logic I cannot.
I agree: it stinks. But is it really the Aussie SF writer's fault? He's the little man in all this.
