Why are computer parts so expensive in Australia?

Because tech-illiterates keep buying it every year and are never contempt with what they have.

somehow that sentence works with both "contempt" and "content" if you interpret it in different ways

Australia doesn't have its own tech industry, so they make up the difference by adding huge tarriffs to ours.

Australia is actually a relatively poor country, the government just lies to us.

Because our dollar is only worth ~60% of the US dollar. We're paying US companies for their overseas manufactured goods. Do the math.

It’s this. If it weren’t for our artificially manipulated housing market the government intentionally forces to grow, we’d be third world

you're right, no other country doubles down on the housing bubble, only Australia does that, that's why we're secretly poor and the government is secretly ran by the catholic church (lizards who stole our holy sabbath and replaced it with a fake day of worship)
