It's the strong dollar that is fueling the O/S online sales boom.

even that isn't really the problem. It might make it worse but how many purchases are for items much less than half the local price? Most I suspect. So even if the exchange rate halved, online sales are still better.

Corporate greed and ridiculous commercial rents are why we pay so much for goods.

and penalty rates, higher wages and higher regulation and OH&S standards don't make things more expensive? do you think those things come for free?
