Price of LEGO sets in Australia

Does the Labor Party have an MP that's like 21 or something? He's our way in!

This is the same for most retail products in australia, be it white goods, electronics or toys. There is currently an enquiry being conducted by the government into the price disparity with electronic goods, ie downloadable music, games and other software. Apple, Steam, Microsoft, Adobe and many others all have not really said anything convincing yet, surprisingly.

Youngest MP ever apparently. If the Libs get up in the next election, we get this kid on our side and push through our legislation!

Another issue affecting Lego at least is that the US is still considered an emerging market for the brand, and they are subsidising the cost of products in the US to encourage growth.

Youngest to have a Federal Seat in the House of Representatives, but have you seen/been to the electorate he represents?
(Oddly enough, my Grandfather trained on its Beaches during WWII)

Really? - Is Lego's corporate 'think-tank' that blinkered?

It's not so much who he represents - it's more that he is a kid that grew up in the 90's and probably owned Lego himself. He can corrupt him and make him our pawn!

Well, anything is worth a try.
