I would recommend you check out some of the local news sites and do a search. Plenty on articles and reports regarding rip-off prices here in Australia.
Protectionism of Australian based industries plays a small part, but only small.

No need for me to search the web. I experienced the prices while I was there. While some things were rather pricey ... like a bottle of salad dressing ... other things were incredibly cheap like the weekly rent on a 1 bedroom flat.
