Cheaper books? No

I see the Minister's statement on the win by Australian print publishers over Australian booksellers, is given the endorsement it deserves.
I don't buy Australian books, I don't buy from bookshops here, I will continue to not do so.

Oh look I can get the next book I intend to buy (Invisible by Paul Auster) for $21 online (including postage) but for only a mere $35 I can get the same book from a bookshop here, bargain! hey and what's better the one sold here will be poorly printed on crappy paper, a double win for publishers. Thank you Australian publishers.

Go here http://www.cheaperbooks.com.au and support the removal of restrictions on parallel importation of books! or something.
