I have been quietly ferreting away some pennies with a view to purchasing a T5 31mm Nagler....and then the bottom fell out of the Aussie dollar - from almost parity in September, down to 63 US cents in November.
I was comparing the listed price of the 31T5 in the September edition of AS&T with now: an increase from $639 to $1019. Ouch!
Well, there may be some light at the end of the tunnel....

I might just keep ferreting away for the time being, and hope the forecasters are right.
