The ACCC's complaint [0] says that consumers in Australia were going to airbnb.com.au, to book accomodation in Australia, and were being displayed US dollar prices, marked simply as $ rather than USD or US$.
If you went to a .ca website, to book accomodation in Canada, you'd expect unadorned $ to mean C$ not US$.
