  • "Dodging the question on the great Aussie rip-off: IT should be an easy question to answer. You ask an Australian for more than $3000 for one product. You ask an American for less than $US2000 for the same product. Why do you charge Australians so much more? Don't you like us very much?" ["Apple also appeared at the pricing committee today, and its answers were expected but, to its credit, much clearer. It charges more for music, movies and TV shows in Australia because the record labels, movie and TV houses charge greater wholesale prices here. It's not fair, of course, for Australians to pay 70 per cent more for AC/DC's Back in Black than Americans pay, but Apple is not behind the extra fee."]  Melbourne Herald Sun 3/22
