Meade pricing in Australia is far more comoarabale to US prices than Celestron Scopes.
If you want better bargain, then go second hand. Almost every scope i have bought has been second hand. Accepting the first scope i bought.
You can also get a good deal on overseas used telescopes/mounts, even once you include shipping. For the budget minded, i would suggest strongly to look at used.
I myself have posted similar threads, but I will admit when it comes to Meade pricing in general i find the local pricing to be resonable.
