Is this sarcasm? We are literally less than a week off the tail of the US government doing literally this.

The title nor the article make no claim of such a discovery. The "breakthrough" is, as claimed, the technology that will hopefully be used to detect something leading to making a discovery.

Not to discredit anything you've said, as on the whole I agree with you. But movie tickets are nearly twice as expensive in Australia. [0] [1]
And a popular videogame can be wildly more expensive. MLB The Show 2018 for instance is $60 in the US and $100 in AU. These prices are outside that which is explained by the current exchange rate.
Yes, you are being paid more. The price of living is also drastically higher there. I think there are better case-studies than Australia.
