I don't know what the basis for the Australian pricing is but A$4800 for a telescope that sells in the US for US$2000 is a very substantial mark-up, even considering the extra costs of shipping to Australia instead of the USA, customs duty, GST and the exchange rate.
By way of comparison, the WO FLT-132 (a slightly bigger and higher quality APO) lists for US$3800 but is sold here for $5700.
