(I don't agree with it, just pointing out the irony of the situation.)
HK buyers don't care as much because the HKD is pegged against the USD, so it's always a fixed rate (roughly).
Whereas AUD fluctuates so much against the USD... Personally, I would prefer and have expected Australian stores to list in AUD, as it eliminates exchange rate uncertainty, bank fees etc. For a business that deals so heavily in foreign currencies, they should look into hedging or something else to lock in their rates, even if it would be at a more unfavourable rate than the current one.
