My bet is that not only does Australia have
close to the most expensive internet in the world
it's also amongst the slowest.
Australia is the land of corporate thieves and rip offs.
They gave us the fish that john west reject !!
We missed out on the electric car revolution for the same reason and told us that the old commodore and ford falcon clunkers were the future
These people should be taken out and guillotined in a public square for the damage they have inflicted onto us
Actually, You have hit the nail o the head.
20 years ago, my first trip to Europe I noticed something that has stayed with me since.
Subsequent trips have reinforced this opinion.
The vehicles in Australia were on average
Twice the cost
With less standard features
More expensive to maintain
with more expensive replacement parts.
The fuel we get in Australia is known as some of the dirtiest in the civilized world.
So dirty in fact, that some vehicle manufacturers will not export some vehicles because they know they will fail due to the fuel.
Clothing was, on average, cheaper
Some foods were, on average, cheaper (although fruit was not as available and the quality sometimes not as good)
Housing in many places much cheaper, more often 1/2 or less than Australia and much better built with serious insulation and a basement.
In Australia we pay through the nose for sub standard products, and we shouldn't have to.
