Australia to question Apple, Microsoft and Adobe on Local Pricing

The Australian Government has ordered Apple Inc, Microsoft Inc and Adobe Systems Inc to appear before its parliament to answer questions about their pricing in Australia.

In spite of the strengthening of the Australian dollar in recent times, Australian consumers are paying much more for the companies' products than their American conterparts.
